Republicans: Abandon Benghazi, and Talk about Hillary’s Other Foibles

Posted on by

eland_ivan_100x1331

“The Republicans could criticize Hillary for her much more important lapses in judgment in advocating the disastrous American use of force on Iraq and Libya in order to take out their respective leaders. Both interventions violated international law and common sense and have turned into chaotic messes that have bred more terrorism. She could also be disparaged for her support for the ineffectual escalation of the Afghan War, the expansion of Obama’s illegal drone wars, and the aborted plans to conduct air strikes against Syria. But all of these criticisms of Hillary’s policy stances and operational diplomatic security lack the sensational ‘gotcha’ that our current presidential campaigns require.”

It’s Time to Make the Politicians Pay You

Posted on by

“Barack Obama won the White House in 2008 and, in the process, completely redefined the money-raising game for big US politics.  For the 2008 presidential campaign alone, candidates spent a combined $631 million on media. In 2012, they spent over $764 million. To put this in perspective, Kraft Food Groups and H.J. Heinz spent $583 million on advertising in 2014.  For the coming 2016 race, there is zero question candidates will be spending even more.  The upcoming run for the White House will break, by far, every spending and fundraising record there is. We could see two candidates raise over $1 billion, when not even one candidate has ever accomplished the feat.”

Congress Pushes Obama-backed National Biometric ID for Americans

Posted on by

“The legislation, officially dubbed the ‘Legal Workforce Act‘ (H.R. 1147), is ostensibly aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from obtaining jobs. Among the most troubling elements, though, is that the bill would purport to mandate a national ID card for every American as a condition of working. It would also force every employer in America to purchase and use so-called ‘E-Verify technology’ to check with Washington, D.C., as to whether potential employees have government permission to work. Finally, it would create a massive federal database containing sensitive data on virtually every person in the country — a database that could easily be expanded to include even more information.”

CIA Torture Report Now Fast-Tracked, Over Republicans’ Objections

Posted on by

“There’s a new incentive to get the report out soon. Republicans take over the Senate in 2015. Many of them have not been impressed with the Democrats’ findings.  ‘The Senate Intelligence Committee today voted to send a one-sided, partisan report to the CIA and White House for declassification,’ Senate Republicans Marco Rubio and James Risch wrote in April, ‘despite warnings from the State Department and our allies indicating that declassification of this report could endanger the lives of American diplomats and citizens overseas and jeopardize U.S. relations with other countries.'”

Jacob Hornberger: Rand Paul Is Wrong. Leave Iraq Alone!

Posted on by

“Senator Rand Paul now wants Congress to declare war against the Islamic State and engage in military action in Iraq. He says that ‘national security’ is at stake.  I’ve got a better idea: Leave Iraq alone! Hasn’t the U.S. government done enough damage already in Iraq?  Consider all the death and destruction that interventionists have wrought on this poor nation. Some people estimate that more than a million Iraqis have died as a result of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq. The reason we don’t have a more precise figure is because the U.S. military announced at the inception of the invasion in 2003 that it would not keep track of Iraqi dead.  The number of Iraqis killed just didn’t matter.”

Bill to Restrict N.S.A. Spying Blocked By Senate Republicans

Posted on by

“Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked a sweeping overhaul of the once-secret National Security Agency program that collects records of Americans’ phone calls in bulk.  Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, worked hard to defeat the bill, which had the support of the Obama administration and a coalition of technology companies including Apple, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo.  ‘This is the worst possible time to be tying our hands behind our backs,’ Mr. McConnell said before the vote, expressing the concerns of those who argued that the program was a vital tool in the fight against terrorism.”

Senate power shift to GOP brings sterner tone to foreign policy debate

Posted on by

“The Republican takeover of the U.S. Senate will bring a tough new tone to the debate over Washington’s foreign policy, with lawmakers expected use their new clout and power over the budget to promote a more interventionist foreign policy.  Republicans plan to pressure the White House to take a tougher line on Iran, Russia and Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.  Two of Washington’s most vocal foreign policy hawks, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, came in line to chair two key Senate panels. McCain, who has advocated a more robust response in both Ukraine and Syria, will lead the Senate Armed Services Committee, which oversees military policy.”

Rand Paul: Blame Dick Cheney for Iraq violence, not Obama

Posted on by

“Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. said many critics who blame the president for the ferocious Islamist insurgency in Iraq, like former Vice President Dick Cheney, should take a look in the mirror.  ‘I don’t blame President Obama,’ Paul told NBC News. ‘Has he really got the solution? Maybe there is no solution.’  Paul said those who have questioned the president’s approach should ask the same questions of those who supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq: ‘Were they right in their predictions? Were there weapons of mass destruction there? Was the war won in 2005, when many of those people said it was won?’  ‘They didn’t, really, I think understand the civil war that would break out,’ Paul said.”

The Logical Conclusion of the Modern, Monetary Argument

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“One of the most terrible things about the globalization of finance, money and industry is that it homogenizes booms and busts. There is literally nowhere to go. As economic centralization continues, these cycles will only worsen. These days in the West – and certainly in Washington – Republicans are sure they can mandate a technocratic interest-rate rule that will restrain the Fed from doing inordinate damage to the economy. Ironically, Democrats argue for more flexibility and less government interference regarding money. This would be admirable from a free-market standpoint except that they are arguing on behalf of a MONOPOLY facility. As usual, both parties get it wrong.”

Gerald Celente on Marijuana Legalization and OccupyPeace

Posted on by

“We’re initiating a project called OccupyPeace.us. And it’s based on three words: No foreign entanglements. Those are the three words spoken by the Founding Fathers of this country. We want to rebuild America and the way we want to do it is we’re working to build an OccupyPeace movement based on no foreign entanglements and we’re working to push the United States more in line with a direct democracy like Switzerland. You want to go to war? Let the people vote. You want a defense budget? Let the people vote on it. You want to bail out the banks? Let the people vote. If we can bank online we can vote online. It could be more open than any other system in the world.”
