The reason people in Tunisia, Egypt, and other parts of the world have been influenced to some extent by the work of Wikileaks is that they have read or heard about the material that Wikileaks has helped to make public. The CBS program "60 Minutes” has just published video of an interview with Wikileaks' Julian Assange—with the video focused, of course, on Assange himself, with almost no substantive content related to the massive crimes and abuses that have made news around the globe.The imperial war presidency

"Remember Obama ran as an Iraq war opponent? As president, he has ruinously escalated foreign military commitments"
By David Swanson
"So tonight, I am proposing that starting this year, we freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years." Thus spoke President Barack Obama in his state of the union speech on Tuesday. "Domestic" spending means non-war and non-military spending. Over half of our public spending in the United States goes to wars and the military. Even the president's own deficit commission recommended cutting $100bn from military spending.Tags: warUniversal Social Charge will increase numbers of working poor
27 Jan 2011; posted by the editor - Ireland
People Before Profit/United Left Alliance candidate for Dublin South Central, Joan Collins commented: "This Finance Bill will have a devastating effect on working people in this country. The introduction of the Universal Social Charge will increase the numbers of working poor. The charge is paid by anyone earning more than €4,004 per year or, in other words, by a person earning less than €80 a week. The top rate of 7 per cent, will apply regardless of whether you earn, for example, €20,000 or €200,000.

Whistleblowing takes many forms but almost always involves the disillusionment of an insider with the nature of what he or she is inside. Leaking secret documents exposing dramatic crimes and abuses is one way to blow a whistle. Another, equally valuable approach, is to publish a lengthy analysis of your experiences in government service. This is what Chas Freeman has done with his new book "America's Misadventures in the Middle East”, which he will discuss in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.Manning Supporters Detained by Quantico military

by: David Swanson, t r u t h o u t | Book Excerpt
We talk of sending soldiers off to fight on battlefields. The word 'battlefield' appears in millions, possibly billions, of news stories about our wars. And the term conveys to many of us a location in which soldiers fight other soldiers. We don't think of certain things being found in a battlefield.Tags: battlefield, warPeople Who Have Pull
19 Jan 2011; posted by the editor - United States
By David Swanson
On Monday of this week, two U.S. marines grabbed me and began pulling me away from a crowd of protesters. For a split second I was certain I would be locked up and charged with some made-up offense, such as failure to obey an unlawful order, or disrupting the war. But that was only for a split second, because without any hesitation the people I was with grabbed me and pulled me back.Tags: Bradley Manning, QuanticoNew national minimum wage rate to take effect on 1 February

Networks of Empire and Realignments of World Power
04 Jan 2011; posted by the editor - Features, International
by James Petras
Imperial states build networks which link economic, military and political activities into a coherent mutually reinforcing system. This task is largely performed by the various institutions of the imperial state. Thus imperial action is not always directly economic, as military action in one country or region is necessary to open or protect economic zones. Nor are all military actions decided by economic interests if the leading sector of the imperial state is decidedly militarist.Tags: empires
