What terrorist advances the causes of empires?… Except for cheap and untraceable foreign state terrorists for hire. That is the mission of Al Qaeda. To hire cheap impoverished people who are ready to die for their beliefs. Except that they died for America’s interests. What luck America has… and it must be because of God, because it says so on the dollar bill...What terrorist advances the causes of empires?… Except for cheap and... more

For years, whenever it was suggested that the American super-rich should pay more in taxes, the Right’s media machine would blast out complaints about “class warfare.”
However, it’s now clear that the “class warfare” was being waged from above – and the rich were winning, big time – finally leaving the middle- and working-classes little choice but to fight back, a difficult reality that Danny Schechter addresses in this guest essay:http://www.consortiumnews.com/2011/030611a.html

A financial crisis opens up cheap markets, businesses and thrifty labor for the elites of a dominating economy. The excessive consciousness of class warfare tends to reemerge under these conditions. The globalist economy of today has not escaped this simple reminder of inequality. This is why our crisis has been a psychological war, hosted by the spokesmen of our elites, performed by our nation’s politicians, with the help of certain acquiescent world leaders and propagandized by the well paid mainstream media.A financial crisis opens up cheap markets, businesses and thrifty labor for the elites... more

Whilst most people live their arduous days far away from intellectual discourse and analysis, the corporate world is growing in power. The Edward Bernays days of Public Relations are long gone; we have been left behind "at the dawn of a new millennium”… which is a quote, from the movie Bullworth. Bullworth, was a biographical and very insightful political satire, about corporate interests (such as insurance companies as is the case in the film), and the extent to which these entites are so deeply merged (financially) with conventional “public interest” funded, mainstream politicians in the U.S of A and most of the developed world.Whilst most people live their arduous days far away from intellectual discourse and... more

4.59pm: More from Stephens about Assange's prospects of freedom:
It is impossible to say how long it will take before Mr Assange is out. The problem is that £200,000 can't be paid in by cheque because cheques take seven days to clear. We have to go around to find money in cash. Until this court is in possession of £200,000, an innocent man stays in jail.
Stephens trotted out the adjectives to describe the conditions that Assange is being held – he used the words Orwellian, Dickensian and Victorian.
4.55pm: Big news if true: Swedish prosecutors will not appeal, according to ABC's Jim Sciutto.
4.46pm: The Swedish process is an abusive process, Stephens claimed, adding that supporting material for the case had still not been provided. Assange will remain in jail until tomorrow or Thursday unless £200,000 in cash can be found. If the cash is stumped up, he will be freed.
Stephens said bail conditions involved Assange staying in a particular location so he could be geo-located with an electronic tag.
He is being kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours, Stephens said. His mail is not getting through and he is not being allowed to read newspapers. He said Assange was worried about his colleagues at WikiLeaks.Live updates from trial via The Guardian UK
