The Nationalization Option: Saving the Auto Industry
Jack Random - Jazzman Chronicles - Disseminate Freely - With the economy still stuck in a spiral descent legislators who could not find the bearings or strength of character to oppose the trillion dollar bailout of the financial sector are suddenly finding old time religion in opposing a bailout for the auto industry.
Those on the left say: Why save the collapsing remnants of a failed capitalist system? Those on the right say: Live by the sword, die by the sword. Let the market manifest. It’s how the system is supposed to work. Both are wrong.

The Case for Bush's Impeachment
Jazzman Chronicles - Jack Random - With the latest revelations of a forged document ordered by the White House to press a fallacious case for war with Iraq, the case for impeachment has become so compelling that congress should prosecute its own leaders for dereliction of duty if they fail to act.
Moreover, as the Iraqi government makes it absolutely clear they will demand a set timeline for American military withdrawal, we can safely peel away yet another phony rationale for the continuing occupation: It is not for the Iraqi people; it never was. It is not to assure the stability of the Iraqi government; it never was.

Nuclear Power Kills Billions of Fish
U.S.: Criticism of NPP Fish Kills
WNA Weekly Digest, 15 August 2003; Press Agency ANP (NL), 12 August 2003 - While the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry lobby group, continues to tout nuclear power as environmental friendly, the once-through cooling system used by the majority of U.S. NPPs has again come under increased criticism by two different state authorities.
(591.5536) NIRS - Both the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the California Regional Water Quality Control Board Central Coastal Region criticized the use of coastal and river water to cool nuclear power stations. State authorities concluded that the routine operation of nuclear power stations is killing billions of fish and destroying marine and aquatic habitats by sucking in tremendous amounts of water each day and spewing it out as hot water.

Join Us In the Peace Room
Codepink - The central command center of an electoral campaign is called The War Room, but CODEPINK'S peaceroom2008.org will be the heart and mind of our work to make sure that ending the occupation of Iraq and preventing a war with Iran are at the top of the political agenda in this election cycle. We will be bird-dogging the presidential candidates, going to the Republican National Convention in Denver and the Democratic National Convention in Minneapolis, as well as continuing our crucial presence in the halls of Congress.

Another American War – Look Out Earth
Newsdaily Canada - Jim Miles - True to the American manner of meeting challenges and desiring to overcome them, a recent Time magazine cover led off with the title “How to Win The War On Global Warming” [1]. Accompanying that article, the UN Secretary-General demonstrated his Washington consensus credentials with a commentary titled “The Right War.”[2] If the American history of war is to be considered, earth itself is in trouble. The “war on drugs” has been an ongoing fiasco, with billions put into various corners of the world mostly causing death and destruction between different factions killing each other off and – in the homeland - leading to the incarceration of millions of people – mainly black. The current global war on terror is also a moral and financial fiasco, expected to ultimately cost 3 – 5 trillion dollars just from Afghanistan and Iraq alone.

What Seeds Are You Planting on Earth Day?
CODEPINK - We are in love with our planet. One of the reasons we work for peace is to nurture our entire planet; we want our beautiful Mother Earth to flourish. CODEPINK is one of the few groups that connect war and the environment. Pink and green are gorgeous together, don't you think? As natural as a stem and a flower.
War is definitely not green. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. The U.S. military is the single largest consumer of oil in the world and the world's larger polluter, generating 750,000 tons of toxic waste annually. If we stop funding the war for oil in Iraq, our tax dollars can go toward developing clean, green sources of energy that will help us build a healthy, peaceful planet.

The Cost of War: Steep and Irreversible
Jazzman Chronicles - Jack Random - The Battle for Basra gave way to the Siege of Sadr City, leaving in its wake a broken Iraqi government, the promise of inclusion irrevocably betrayed, a surge of violence, death and destruction, and the words of General David Petraeus on the progress of the war still ringing in our ears: “Fragile and reversible.”
After five years, at a cost approaching a trillion dollars, with 4036 dead American soldiers, tens of thousands wounded and as many or more than a million Iraqi dead, with apologies to the General, “fragile and reversible” is no progress at all.
The die is cast, the outcome set in stone, yet the costs of war continue to be manifest in new and disturbing ways: A mounting trade deficit, the national debt, a falling dollar, the price of food and gas, a stunted economy, an emboldened China, a stark reversal of fortune in Afghanistan, and global instability from the Middle East to Africa to Tibet and Haiti in our own back yard.

Are Tech-Savvy Millenials the New Voice of Philanthropy?
Association of Fundraising Professionals - March 24, 2008 - It’s a pretty good assumption, at least from the people eWire talked to this week, that Millennials, also known as Generation Y — born in 1982 and after — show strong promise to be the next great civic-minded generation.
There are many broad generalizations made when it comes to speaking of whole generations, but young people today are certainly showing an interest, and a tech-driven level of sophistication in their volunteering and charitable support, that might make fundraisers take a second look at these young donors of time and resources.

US Presidential Candidates Positions on US Nuclear Weapons Policy
Nuclear Age Peace Foundation - One of the most important issues of the 2008 US Presidential election is US nuclear weapons policy. We believe it should be a priority issue when Americans go to the voting booth next year in primary and general elections. It's not our purpose to suggest how people should vote, but rather to educate and inform the public on where candidates stand.

We Count, They Don't
From Tomdispatch today, my own "We Count, They Don't" -- a piece that considers every aspect of "counting" in Iraq, American-style, from counting to three (the number of autonomous zones into which the Senate recently voted to divide that country) to counting to ten (the number of years since the invasion of 2003 by which leading Democratic presidential candidates won't commit to having U.S. troops withdrawn), to counting to 50 and beyond (the number of years the Bush administration would still like us to garrison the country), to counting bodies (a subject to which the military has now assigned "platoons" of numbers-crunchers), and finally to counting to 1.2 million (the number of deaths due to violence a recent British survey suggests have occured since the invasion of 2003).

Government Fines ANSWER Coalition Another $10,350
Call a friend and tell them to come to Washington on September 15!
A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition - One week after it filed a free speech lawsuit, the ANSWER Coalition today received a second round of fines for another $10,350 for posters promoting the September 15 March on Washington to End the War on Iraq. In the last two weeks, the ANSWER Coalition has been fined a total of $21,000. There is an effort underway by several branches of the government to disrupt the organizing for the September 15 march, which will be led by Iraq war veterans and their families.
What should each person do? Call a friend and tell them to come to Washington DC on September 15.

Managing Consent: The Art of War, Democracy and Public Relations
ramzybaroud.net - Ramzy Baroud - It is Edward Bernays who fine-tuned the art of public relations in the 20th century. Using many of the psychoanalytic theories put forward by his uncle Sigmund Freud, he developed a mastery of public manipulation, suggesting that such manipulation was essential to democracy itself. Bernays strongly believed that people are simply "stupid" and in need of being told how to behave, what to believe, what to eat, what to wear, and how to vote. The outcomes of such an experiment reverberate to this day.
