Thanks Juan. Great reminder what This Land is ALL about. And the film with Seeger and ALL the happy joyful and smiling faces just says it all. I wish we had him back. He was America. Springsteen as well
So they yell "bring it on" projecting more arms sales, and jobs, jobs, jobs to keep his America great again. Yes we will see where all the lies will get them, that bite in the ass more than likely
Lets note we have been bombing these countries for years and he may accept this to mean this should be the extent of his national security apparatus. May he be thinking that this will allow him to downsize allll the other agencies who's job it is to protect his oiled heartland, including the FBI, NSA, and his favorite CIA. Maybe the TSA, as well. He certainly doesn't need any daily intelligence. He has got all the oil he needs from above. And he can balance his budget with weapons sales to his Saudi friends(?). And if that doesn't work he an fire everyone and do a 180.
That neoliberalism makes (made) the Democrats look weak, which they are, and have been. They not long ago controlled both houses and used the same mindset refusing to standup to the Iraq war etc.... You might say the Clinton's lost the backbone for the Democratic party. Remember Americans don't like weakling type politicians and especially the ones that are perceived to have run off with the (their) money.
And why not add the Zumwalt DC 1000 class destroyer (?) type vessel (at 4 billion a copy) to your list of over the top and down the hole expenses for this junk.
The list goes on ......
Fear, it seems is the current way of the world. Oh George, you really screwed up. And just wait till your Donald gets his key to the nuclear arsenal. We'll all think Vlad is a saint by then
Disingenuous says it well.
A system of laws built on
lies incarcerates the whole system to change. The road blocks have been built. Neither Hillary or the Donald will have a hard time of keeping their sheep in order. And certainly their politics will dictate no change to keep their lock up in place.
Bernie is neither influenced by money or politics on this issue, and many others as well. He basically believes in fairness. He is a champion of the middle ground, a peacemaker.
I hope he get his chance to influence more change than to date.
And I hope other American Jews step to the plate for him.
He's encourages the best in people.
Good luck to him
I'd have to laugh along with Iran on this.
Just who is paying this judge to "sit" all day and kind of know nothing of of world events, even those that happen in his own backyard.
Jeb sure looks happy that w has come to fight his battle.
You covered it all Juan. We all need to go back there now and torture the fool (w) before we lock him in his Gitmo
What is America's goal here? Are we supporting another tin horn, expending huge portions of American's tax dollars just to support a beach head to southern Russia?
Putin's idea of a diplomatic solution might not be such a bad idea because this war will be a never ending caper we just don't need.
This strict Ideology stuff, political, and or religious has become the world's stagnation. Talk may move us forward.
This is a nation that exploits the sale and use of military hardware to compensate its inability to provide good jobs for the necessities needed for normal human existence.
It's easier to kill your neighbor with a gun than a wind turbine. Just ask any hard line capitalist.
Like your article.
Obviously a lot of things come into play in middle eastern politics. Aren't we lucky not to have to deal in sectarian politics, (some would love to change that) More power to the separation of church and state. This shows we must forever strive to strengthen the divide of separation (in this regard) rather than bend to the wishes of any religious denomination.
Can't find too much wrong with this man's statements. They seem to be backed up with some long history.
America should try living by some of these ideas. But, I venture arms sales may be too important to our values to go that route. But, then again, shouldn't our Christian values have some bearing on our thinking?
Just where do American values reside?
How could the powers to be (along with their military) in Washington not just love this? There will be no end in sight and Washington's powerful pockets will be full of military hardware and cash. And they will be able to display to their people that the budget is balanced, their cars are full of cheap gas, and all is well. And don't forget their "vote for me" slogan.
Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr probably knows MLK. Together they would sit down and talk, and understand each other. Power corrupts listen to the little guy.
'the Russian and Iranian governments are said to be panicking , because both need high prices to support their bloated government budgets and popular subsidies.'
Ah they should be more like us. Put it on the credit card
Can we assume that continual banging upon the Russian borders, and their neighbors is a liberal approach? Or are we after some gas or oil? Or a pipeline route? Might that be liberal democracy's approach?
Thanks Juan, we need this pointed out much more often. I sometimes wonder if America knows what the double standard of Justice is. As our politicians use the double standard to hide behind to protect their almighty love for power we will never hear it from them.
I hope Biden made his trip just to protect the Iran negotiation.
Just who will be rebutting these to fear mongers? I'm betting you may never hear a peep from a skeptic. Just why didnt "state of the nation" go directly to AIPAC to hear this crap?
Your right on Glenn. Oh, how power hates the truth. I love to hear you make them listen even if they hasten to end their show because they can't stand hearing any more. Many of us and more heard you. Keep to your journalistic oath. I want to read and hear more.
It's about time. Great! Lets hope Americans see through all their brainwashing recent past.
Something should however be done about the justice the neocons never got. Oh,I sometimes have to dream.
As we know, not all just rubber stamp, but there must have been consensus on the court. Was the consensus to follow the law?
"and that the collection could continue.”
Sounds like a rubber stamp, to me.
Gee, Finally Im seeing some of this on American TV. This is different but good. This is how democracy will work, if it shall. To the streets! I hope the young win this BIG!
Take note America!
Glad to get your take on this. It is so involved, people like yourself really help. I can only bet what the MSM is doing to this.
I wonder if the timing of this decision is also to get our minds away from the Snowden affair. Away from the hawks of disguise Pelosi, and the poor military decision makers as in Carl Levin?
The democrats sure do look like the hawks that they are. Follow the money trail. The quid pro quo is alive and well.
Will Amerrica survive another war? Ask a troop.
So now we will learn just how dumbed down America has truely become. Has this country come to that point that we are oblivious to it own freedom. Or is American freedom only for the 911ers use?
How do you tell others to wake the f up or forever be spied and controlled?
I take the points of the article to heart.
We need to learn from these whistleblowers and forget what BHO tells us because he is not as truthful as he appears.
This is one of the best articles on feared justice I have come across. The powers to be would not want to read this and might find it real hard to publish it. Thank You "Informed".
So Bush created the distorted lying game of round and round politically feared (ing)justice and Obama gave him cover and looked the OTHER WAY. He (Barack)may find no way out at this at this point. He created the monster on his first week in office by protecting a less that honorable prior president. And he went to college to practice law? Harvard should ask for the return of his papers. I'd like to ask him to make the necessary decisions to close Guantanamo and free Bradley Manning, a purveyor of truth for a right justice or hand in his papers and go home. Chicago needs a new mayor.
Anyway, I find this article exceptional. Thanks
"So which is it, is it bad to put down laborers or is it bad to commemorate their struggles?"
In America it just seems to be both. The elite will never give and inch and will always take the mile. It been so since Columbus and his friends set foot here 600 years ago.
I would be nice to think that things might change but... . We are still fighting the same battles of centuries ago for the same reasons.
You might say: Just, keep up the fight!
You might ask george himself about the preferable system. As i am sure he only had one thing in mind, that he would be King George. His Saud family would be next door to give him cover.
And now they can fill that big old hole with their favorite tar sands oil.
You might think American capitalists would know the difference between a project that would pay off in their future and one that will be obsolete, if it is not already.
American capitalism is, "it must be instant, now! There is no future so why plan for one."
Think clean renewal power.
And....so what has changed?
You might have thought that more members of congress might have seen through the BS but they still defend their decisions and even go a few steps further, as they always do, by perpetuating their militarism and crusade against our civil society and the world in general.
I felt much the same as Juan then and what knowledge i got i read on the internet. News print and the tube were hardly reliable and again nothing has changed.
We must vote those out and take to the streets against the Citizens United hoax among numerous other things. The older generation needs to realize their mistakes and join the youth of America.
I respect his thoughts, but the print/government cabal is not always forth right. The government certainly is not to be trusted, as lies abound. And what about even a mention of the whistle blower? I would love to know what my government is doing. I for one pay their way.
Give us all a break, this behind the scenes crap, where a few get together to make secret decisions on my behalf doesn't cut it any longer. Transparency??? What the hell is that?
The big and the powerful just want it all. And they will obviously will acquire it by any and all corrupt means.
If you have been left in the dark, read Matt Taibbi's new article in Rolling Stone. More eye openings.
The haves leave no stone unturned. Beware that tomorrow you will awaken to more of the same with a slightly different twist.
We need to learn how to produce a different type of change something that is more akin to human nature.
I love your article Juan, its so current America, sadly.
Thanks for your informative insight. The more i learn about the Egyptians the more i want to visit someday. Their struggle for a more Democratic way of life is so typical of the process. Lets hope they can do this with as little bloodshed as possible
Agreed. But you may have to wait forever, as you said, he'd rather appease the right.
Your 12 point wish list might also include (?) , #11. release Bradley. #12. Quit chasing whistle blowers for the purpose of demonstrating toughness.
Great article. And thank goodness Obama won.
Isn't this just like America of today. Just pretend it never happened, the rest of our cohorts will play right along.
I guess we all live in a dark place where we are intentionally and repeatedly dumbed down to be idiots.
And most of us believe the bs??? We are idiots??
Keep exposing! Go Bradley Manning!
And so the media will use our airwaves to spew their propaganda upon us and then to make it really worth it the media will someehow hide their profit so they dont have to pay taxes as well. Who's getting screwed over and over again? Are we really watching porn?
Willard Mitt may well be afraid of Muslims but it is a certainty that he would never miss a chance to enhance a stock price by failing to push weapondry down anyone's throat. It would simply be good for the economy.
Shoot before you think is Mitt.
The retired Admiral might have added that that is why Julian Assange will be extradited to the US via Sweden. That will surely close the box to the outside intruders. Obama the opaque.
It's refreshing to read your true account of the calamity the Palestinans are enduring. Keep the message coming. Your help is admired by many.
One day the Israelis will be seen for what they are. America stands to be on the loosing end as well, unless we take control of our own destiny. November is destiny time. Watch the influence trail try to keep this status quo.
Disgusting, plain and simple.
If we give Israel 3-4 billion for their military are those 3-4 billion included in our 42%, or does the bookkeeper put it in another account?

good article, an eye-opening teacher.
But we have Gaga and many others. Keep smiling America
Thanks Juan. Great reminder what This Land is ALL about. And the film with Seeger and ALL the happy joyful and smiling faces just says it all. I wish we had him back. He was America. Springsteen as well
So they yell "bring it on" projecting more arms sales, and jobs, jobs, jobs to keep his America great again. Yes we will see where all the lies will get them, that bite in the ass more than likely
Lets note we have been bombing these countries for years and he may accept this to mean this should be the extent of his national security apparatus.

Totally and completely agree. That may the sole and most glaring reason I will not pull the lever for this woman.

Are you suggesting the US pols use people for their benefit? And who is it that pays these pols for their judicial fore thought?
I fear my vote has a long way to go to measure up to theirs. They do have ONE vote do they not?
Put this in the mix.

What is "liberal democracy, Simon?
Political life consumed in hatred doesn't make much sense. What a waste.
You mean to say Benj didn't accuse these natios of being antisemitic?
Thanks Juan, we need this pointed out much more often. I sometimes wonder if America knows what the double standard of Justice is. As our politicians use the double standard to hide behind to protect their almighty love for power we will never hear it from them.

As we know, not all just rubber stamp, but there must have been consensus on the court. Was the consensus to follow the law?
"and that the collection could continue.”
Sounds like a rubber stamp, to me.
Yes, the left and right have A join. The center wants to give their liberty away. Go figure.
