War Made Easy

Video

War Made Easy exposes a 50-year pattern of government
deception and media spin that has dragged the United
States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq.
Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes
remarkable archival footage of official distortion and
exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing
in stunning detail how the American news media have
uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of
successive presidential administrations. Click to view

Bernanke's State of the Economy Speech:

"You are all Dead Ducks"

By Mike Whitney

Even veteran Fed-watchers were caught off-guard
by Chairman Bernanke's performance before the
Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. Bernanke
was expected to make routine comments on the
state of the economy but, instead, delivered a 45
minute sermon detailing the afflictions of the
foundering financial system. The Senate chamber
was stone-silent throughout. The gravity of the
situation is finally beginning to sink in. Continue

Depression Risk Might Force U.S. To Buy Assets

By John Parry

Fear that a hobbled banking sector may set off another
Great Depression could force the U.S. government

Real ID Act a Real Intrusion On Rights, Privacy

By Bob Barr

If, as proposed in the law, a person must have a
Real ID Act-compliant card in order to access a
federal building, access any regulated or interstate
mode of transportation, or obtain any federal benefit,
then we have surrendered to the federal government
(that is, federal bureaucrats) the power to deny
citizens all manner of activities guaranteed in the
Bill of Rights. Continue

The Terrorists Still at Ground Zero

By Alexander Cockburn

On January 10 Moody's, in concert with the other
main bond rating firm, Standard and Poor's,
gave the United States its top AAA credit rating.
The terrorist blackmail threat came in the form
of a demand by Moody's that the U.S. government
"reform" Social Security and Medicare: "In the
very long term, the rating could come under
pressure if reform of Medicare and Social Security
is not carried out as these two programs are the
largest threats to the long-term financial health
of the United States and to the government's
Aaa rating." Continue

If Only Saddam Had Injected HGH

By Scott Ritter

That Congress puts the so-called integrity of a
game ahead of its own Constitutional mandate of
oversight of legitimate governance is a travesty.
That this travesty is carried out in the face of a
pledge by a Democratic-controlled Congress to
effectively and responsibly carry out its duty to
investigate how and why our nation went to war
with Iraq is not only incomprehensible, but
reprehensible. Continue
