We’re a year into the unofficial war against Isis with nothing to show for it

Posted on by

“This Saturday marks one full year since the US military began its still-undeclared war against Islamic State that the government officials openly acknowledge will last indefinitely. What do we have to show for it? So far, billions of dollars have been spent, thousands of bombs have been dropped, hundreds of civilians have been killed and Isis is no weaker than it was last August, when the airstrikes began.  But don’t take it from me – that’s the conclusion of the US intelligence community itself. As the Associated Press reported a few days ago, the consensus view of the US intelligence agencies is that Isis is just as powerful as it was a year ago, and they can replace fighters faster than they are getting killed.”

They Live, We Sleep: A Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy

Posted on by

“What most Americans perceive as life in America—privileged, progressive and free—is a far cry from reality, where economic inequality is growing, real agendas and real power are buried beneath layers of Orwellian doublespeak and corporate obfuscation, and ‘freedom,’ such that it is, is meted out in small, legalistic doses by militarized police armed to the teeth. Tune out the government’s attempts to distract, divert and befuddle us and tune into what’s really going on in this country, and you’ll run headlong into an unmistakable, unpalatable truth: the moneyed elite who rule us view us as expendable resources to be used, abused and discarded.”

General Rebellion and Media Choices

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“Retired generals frequently land jobs with Wall Street or defense contractors, through which they can convert their military knowledge into substantial income. At least one is going a different direction, though. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn appears uninterested in a lucrative second career.   When August arrives, will Washington’s compliant media report that one of Obama’s own top generals says drones are a ‘failed strategy’? They will if they are interested in promoting a healthy public debate. In other words, don’t hold your breath. The corporate-owned TV networks and national newspapers know who keeps the dollars flowing. Rebel generals who don’t toe the party line are not on the list.”

U.S. General Spits on Constitution

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“General Clark doesn’t otherwise fit in the right wing, law-and-order camp. He made a brief presidential bid in 2004 on the Democratic side and was very critical of the Bush administration’s anti-terror tactics and Middle East interventions. Yet now he wants to round up and imprison radical Muslims. This demonstrates that politicians across the spectrum threaten civil liberties. They differ only on the details. Second, he floated his argument on the supposedly ‘progressive’ MSNBC network. The interviewer didn’t question the idea, either. Truly professional journalists are usually quick to notice threats to freedom of speech – or at least in the past. Not this time.”

Does Jade Helm Violate Posse Comitatus?

Posted on by

“What might the military mean by ‘realistic environment’ in the context of Jade Helm? In terms of culture and physical setting, only English-speaking America resembles English-speaking America. As a concerned resident of one of the affected small towns in Texas told a newspaper: ‘What place looks like this—except this?’ Put another way, if Special Ops were to prowl the coffee shops of North Korea, Ukraine, or Tehran questioning locals for information, they would be rounded up within an hour. So, as Jon Stewart might have asked if he had looked a little deeper into the Jade Helm scenario, whom is America fixing to invade? Canada?”

Seymour Hersh defends his blockbuster bin Laden story

Posted on by

“It was the kind of question he has heard a wearying number of times over the course of a storied career. The veracity of his own reporting was a topic that seemed only to exasperate him.  ‘You’re talking about someone who was a freelance reporter in 1969 and wrote about massacring hundreds of people in Vietnam for an anti-war news agency,’ Hersh said. ‘My God, you don’t think I had trouble then?’  He’s irritated at what he sees as a public obsession with where and how his bin Laden report had been published. ‘It’s not a press story — it’s a story about what the government does,’ Hersh said. ‘If the questions are about the press, I can’t help you.'”

U.S. officials fuming over Hersh account of Osama bin Laden raid

Posted on by

“The firestorm of criticism has been immediate and unforgiving, from the White House to the Pentagon to the CIA.  The publication Sunday of a 10,000-word article questioning the official version of the 2011 raid that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden might have received scant attention had it it not been penned by Seymour Hersh.  The award-winning reporter, 78, who uncovered one of the worst war crimes by U.S. troops during the Vietnam War and disclosed the torture of inmates at the U.S military-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq in 2004, is now questioning the entire national security bureaucracy in one fell swoop. And its members are taking it personally.”

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.”

Bloomberg Calls for a US Exit Tax

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“Why should the rich get to take all that wealth with them when they move? Why should they be able to walk out of the country with resources that they have accumulated largely by dint of their history in the U.S.? We don’t let them walk out with a share of the mineral wealth of public lands or a piece of the interstate system. Exiting the country with all that property should surely count as theft.  … The rate of the exit tax would reflect the proportion of wealth that is due to the lottery of birth. Of course, rich people have already paid some taxes on that wealth—so, in fairness, the top rate probably wouldn’t go above 50 percent.”
