How Heartless, How Cold Is Lindsey Graham?

Posted on by

“Does Senator Graham understand what the war on Iraq did to that country and its people? Does he even care? This site has some before and after photos. How can a man propose the destruction of Iran? I’ve written about him at length before.  I consider him an ignorant, sadistic, religious and political wacko, lacking in any feeling for the peoples he is destroying. Quite possibly he hates them or has some problem that manifests itself in his callousness toward these particular peoples. His unswerving support of Israel is simply astonishing, but he shares that with a number of other U.S. politicians, at least in their public personae. I doubt very much they feel that way in private.”

Lindsey’s Plan for War on Iran

Posted on by

“By equating Iran’s ‘nuclear program’ with a ‘nuclear bomb’ program, Graham reveals that his bottom line is not Obama’s bottom line, but Benjamin Netanyahu’s.  Obama has said only that Iran must not be allowed to build a bomb. Bibi says Iran must not have a nuclear program.  Yet, make no mistake. The goal of Graham, the neocons, Israel and Saudi Arabia is not a negotiated solution permitting a peaceful nuclear program in Iran. The goal is a U.S. war to smash Iran.  On Nov. 10, 2010, Graham let it all out: ‘Instead of a surgical strike on their nuclear infrastructure, I think we’re to the point now that you have to really neuter the regime’s ability to wage war against us and our allies.'”

Sen. Lindsey Graham to seek authorization for U.S. attack on Iran

Posted on by

“Graham now says he will work with a bipartisan group of senators to craft a resolution authorizing the president to use military force — not against the Syrian regime but against Iran. In an appearance on Fox News’ Huckabee program over the weekend, Graham argued that such a resolution is essential, because American inaction in Syria will encourage Iran to go forward with its nuclear weapon program, eventually leading toward a Mideast conflagration if the U.S. doesn’t intervene.”

Eric Margolis: US Struggle With Iran’s Peace Offensive

Posted on by

eric-margolis2

“Iran is now making a major push to convince the world it has no nuclear weapons ambitions, starting with its spiritual leader, Ayatollah Khomenei who has issued a fatwa condemning all nuclear weapons.  The logical course for the United States to follow is to welcome Iran’s overtures and restore normal relations between the two powers. An Iran aligned to the outside world is less likely to be troublesome than the angry, frightened, besieged Iran of today.  Furthermore, Washington has at some point got to accept that Iran is an influential regional power with its own legitimate interests.”

Iran’s new president promises: We will never make nuclear weapons

Posted on by

“NBC aired a longer excerpt from Curry’s interview with Rouhani Wednesday night, in which he tells Curry Iran has never tried to build a nuclear weapon. Instead, he explained, ‘We solely are looking for peaceful nuclear technology.’  ‘Can you say that Iran will not build a nuclear weapon under any circumstances whatsoever?’ Curry asked.  ‘The answer to this question is quite obvious,’ Rouhani responded. ‘We have time and against said that under no circumstances would we seek any weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, nor will we ever.'”

‘Technical glitch’ brings down Iranian censorship firewall temporarily

Posted on by

“A technical glitch allowed some Iranians temporary access to banned social networking websites Facebook and Twitter, an Iranian Internet official said on Tuesday. Surprised Internet users in Iran Monday night were able to log onto their accounts without using illegal software that enables them to circumvent a widespread state-run filtering mechanism.  They voiced their delight online, with posts revelling in the rare web freedom — restricted in 2009 when social networking sites enabled protesters to organise anti-government demonstrations in the aftermath of a disputed presidential election.”

When Penalties are Preferable

Posted on by

“Nearly five in eight Americans polled by ABC News and The Washington Post say they ‘lack the information needed to understand the changes that will take effect as the Affordable Care Act is implemented.’ No surprise with a bill that stretched to 906 pages — plus 20,000 more of associated regulations.  Besides, there’s nothing you can actually do in reaction to these stories. You’re a helpless spectator. Which is why we find the YouTube video much more intriguing… ‘What we’re trying to communicate is, ‘No, you’re actually not required to buy health insurance,’’ says Evan Feinberg. ‘You might have to pay a fine, but that’s going to be cheaper for you and better for you.'”

Pricing Glitch Afflicts Rollout of Online Health Exchanges

Posted on by

“Less than two weeks before the launch of insurance marketplaces created by the federal health overhaul, the government’s software can’t reliably determine how much people need to pay for coverage, according to insurance executives and people familiar with the program.  Government officials and insurers were scrambling to iron out the pricing quirks quickly to avoid alienating the initial wave of consumers.  A failure by consumers to sign up online in the hotly anticipated early days of the ‘exchanges’ is worrisome to insurers, which are counting on enrollees for growth, and to the Obama administration, which made the exchanges a centerpiece of its sweeping health-care legislation.”

Companies Tell Employees to Find Their Own Health Insurance Policies

Posted on by

“Walgreen’s is the latest firm to drop an in-house health insurance plan. It will pay workers a flat rate. Workers will then have to find a decent plan. Workers will soon find how slim the pickings are. This may make insurance companies more competitive. But there is a huge problem. Large companies got low rates because everyone was insured. The law of large numbers took over. High-risk employees were offset by all the low-risk employees. Now each person will be considered as a separate applicant. High-risk people will be identifiable.  Obamacare says that they must get coverage. But will they? We don’t know yet. The health care insurance exchanges are not ready for prime time yet.”

The Sharing Economy Fights Back Against Regulators

Posted on by

“What started with a few enterprising individuals willing to let complete strangers sleep in their homes and use their possessions has now developed into a formidable economic force that threatens to upend several different industries.  Along the way, it has posed some major legal challenges.  The companies that are pushing it forward have continually undermined local ordinances, consumer safeguards, and protectionist regulations alike.  As a result, governments around the country are trying to rein them in.  That’s where Silicon Valley’s newest advocacy group comes in.  Peers is a self-described ‘grassroots organization’ that launched to ‘mainstream, protect, and grow the sharing economy.'”
