ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

New "Contract ON America"! What a crazy week! Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad addressed the U.N. and told the remaining audience 9-1-1 was an inside job saying "some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime....The majority of the American people as well as other nations and politicians agree with this view." (AFP) He must have watched "Loose Change The Final Cut"? Obama also spoke at the U.N. and "As Obama spoke about the importance of supporting U.S.-brokered peace talks, television cameras panned to empty chairs at Israel's U.N. desk...Israeli officials have denied their absence was an intentional slight, saying they were observing the Jewish holiday of Sukkot and had informed the U.S. in advance that they would not be present...And some of Netanyahu's right-wing colleagues condemned Obama's speech, accusing the U.S. president of "inappropriate interference." " (LA Times) Then LARRY "Africa is Under-polluted" SUMMERS announced his resignation saying, "I'm looking forward to returning to Harvard to teach and write about the economic fundamentals of job creation and stable finance as well as the integration of rising and developing countries into the global system" (Guardian UK) which is code for "I'm going to continue proselytizing neo-liberal flat-earth Chicago-School Freidmanism Economics to more young rich white kids who will make a killing on Wall Street". Danny Schecter has more on this at Consortium News The No-Longer Endless Summers as does Robert Scheer at TruthDig So Long, Summers noting, Thanks to the banking debacle he did so much to initiate back in the Clinton years, the nation now has more people living in poverty, 43.6 million of them, than ever in our history. Americans have witnessed the disappearance of $11 trillion of their net worth, $1.5 trillion in the second quarter; the debt has risen alarmingly; unemployment is stuck at 9.6 percent; and trillions of dollars in toxic pools of housing stock are still held by the banks to be thrown into the housing market fire sale anytime home prices promise to edge upward. Behold what brilliance has wrought. . Not to be upstaged the Republicans unveiled their latest "Contract ON America" with their new shiny (and hollow) "Pledge for America". At TruthDig Eugene Robinson remarks in The Party of Nonsense "...if the “Pledge to America” unveiled Thursday is the best that House Republicans can come up with, they’d have been better off continuing to froth and foam about “creeping socialism” while stonewalling on specifics. The problem with the Pledge is that the numbers don’t remotely add up." Another analysis comes from RJ Eskow at The Smirking Chimp who writes in GOP's "Pledge" to Rob the Middle Class: No Jobs, No Health Care, No Security "Once you strip away the rhetoric, the answer is simple: Off the top, their plan is a trillion-dollar giveaway to the rich - at everybody else's expense. Their "pledge" would slash needed spending, kill jobs and end any hope of growing the economy. It declares open season on the public's health and safety with a deregulation agenda that would unleash BP, Goldman Sachs, and every other corporation whose risky behavior endangers us. It would lead to even more financial crashes and environmental disasters. Firefighters, cops,and teachers would be laid off in droves. The deficit would soar. We'd face a permanently stagnating economy. The middle class would wither away." And he warns "Remember, the Republicans made a lot of promises the last time they took control of the Congress. They promised to create more jobs, and their policies led to record unemployment. They promised to limit their own terms, then settled in for a long comfy stay in Washington. They promised that businesses would regulate themselves, and both the Gulf Coast and the Main Street economy were ruined. " What's really scary is the rubes and teabaggers and birthers and "low information voters" will eat this crap up! They are stuck in a bizarre Stockholm Syndrome Twilight Zone! What's more, the GOP are up to their old VOTER CAGING tricks just like they pulled in Florida in 2000 and in Ohio in 2004: One Wisconsin Now Exposes Voter Suppression Plans Between Republican Party of Wisconsin, Americans for Prosperity, Tea Party Groups!!! TAKE ACTION HERE! The GOP clearly adheres to three basic principles: "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit", "Do it while you can but don't get caught" and PT Barnum's old saw "There's a sucker born every day". So it's no surprise this week's Sunday Funnies are crowded with Republicans led by MITCH MCCONNELL on This Anampour, CRAZY MARSHA BLACKBURN on State of the Candy, MARCO RUBIO on the ALL-GOP Face the Bob, MIKE PENCE on Meet the David and JOHN "Crybaby" BOEHNER bringing up the rear on FAKE SNOOZE. And you can aim a few bricks at STENY HOYER (SOTU), DAVID AXELROD (This Week) and ARNE DUNCAN (MTP) for good measure! Remember that big flow-chart you made for homework on last week's item NY Observer's Mark Ames Untangling the Bizarre CIA Links to the Ground Zero Mosque? Well you get to compare your notes with 60 Minutes feature THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MOSQUE after that football game! Or leave that all behind and check out a good interview with MATHEW HOH on AntiWarRadio, ALAN GRAYSON on Ring of Fire Radio, ANDY WORTHINGTON on PBC, GLENN GREENWALD on DN! and JIM WILLIE with Max and Stacy plus so much more in the BTV Alerts and our regular features. The Brick TeeVee crew is about tapped out from this week's Homecoming where we shelled out way too much money for tickets and dresses and suits and flowers (but they looked so MAH-VE-LOUS!). But we were encouraged (and backstopped) by news from Reuters U.S. gold hits record above $1,300 an ounce. Enjoy your Sunday and have a great week!

RALLY TO RESTORE SANITY OCTOBER 30th 2010 WASHINGTON D.C.
We're looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it's appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler.

Then we'd like you to join us in Washington, DC on October 30 -- a date of no significance whatsoever -- at the Daily Show's "Rally to Restore Sanity." Ours is a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority. If we had to sum up the political view of our participants in a single sentence... we couldn't. That's sort of the point. Get involved HERE!!!
Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Connecting Dots & Bill-n-Hill Show! We start with a bit of connecting the dots with this item from NY Observer's Mark Ames Untangling the Bizarre CIA Links to the Ground Zero Mosque. Get a big sheet of paper and make your own flow chart! Then in a related item NYT's Rober Mazur hits us with Follow the Dirty Money KEYWORD Wachovia! More dot-connecting comes from The Nation's Jeremy Scahill in Blackwater's Black Ops (see DN! in the BTV alerts for his interview). Glenn Greenwald has an update on the Administration's despair over the "Professional Left" in Obama's view of liberal criticisms: "Contrary to what many of you thought, it's these flaws within yourself that cause you to be dissatisfied with the administration, not because of any of this:" (Go to link for great headlines!) And last week GOLD reached a new all-time high with George Soros quipping, "I called gold the ultimate bubble, which means it may go higher. But it’s certainly not safe and it’s not going to last forever". Thanks, George! Stewart Thomson @ 321gold connects more GOLD dots in "The Gold Controllers Want Price Higher" pointing out 15. There is another, far more ominous issue to consider. The question, as you are now aware, is not how high gold is going. The question is: What level of gold price is required to make debt service practical? The answer to that question depends, horrifically, on the velocity at which the banksters are marking OTC derivatives to market. Read it all to help balance your portfolio! Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi connects more banker flim-flam dots in Wall Street Strikes Again: Sewer Hikes in Alabama. Here's one dot that seems to baffle the administration and the Beltway Bubalas, from ERIC MARGOLIS @ GlobalResearch.ca The Al Qaeda threat is "exaggerated": 120,000 US Troops fighting "No More that 50 Members of Al Qaeda" explaining The [IISS] report, presided over by the former deputy director of Britain’s foreign intelligence agency, MI-6, says the threat from al-Qaeda and Taliban has been "exaggerated" by the western powers. The US-led mission in Afghanistan has "ballooned" out of all proportion from its original aim of disrupting and defeating al-Qaeda. The US-led war in Afghanistan, says IISS, using uncharacteristically blunt language, is "a long-drawn-out disaster". Just recently, CIA chief Leon Panetta admitted there were no more than 50 members of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Yet US President Barack Obama has tripled the number of US soldiers there to 120,000 to fight Al Qaeda....The IISS report goes on to acknowledge the presence of western troops in Afghanistan is actually fuelling national resistance. I saw the same phenomena during the 1980’s Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Interestingly, the portion of the report overseen by the former MI-6 Secret Intelligence Service deputy chief, Nigel Inskster, finds little Al Qaeda threat elsewhere, notably in Somalia and Yemen. Yet Washington is beefing up its attacks on both turbulent nations. Doubtful the "Professional Right" will cover any of this on Sunday as they focus on shiny tea-bagger-like objects and their "Conventional Wisdom" navels. Let's go to the video! Secretary of State HILLARY CLINTON goes to This Anampour while hubby BIG DAWG gets in with Face the Bob and Meet the David. Anampour also visits with Iranian Prez AHMADINEJAD while Gregory also chats with COLIN POWELL. Look for JIMMY CARTER on 60 Minutes and State of the Candy talks elections politics with Teabagger JIM DEMINT and DNC Chair TIM KAINE. Throw bricks at KARL ROVE for fun AND even profit (see Max below Group offers $100,000 for ‘information leading to the arrest and conviction of Karl Rove’) haha! Plenty more info in the BTV Alerts and our regular features too! The Brick TeeVee crew found a flyer stuck in the compound front door and found our own teabagger, right in our hood! The flyer informed us, "I'm reaching out to you because, as you probably know, our individual liberties are at stake" and "We need to become a break-wall and unify" plus "...we can elect morally and fiscally responsible leaders that believe in limited government and our way of life in Lake County." Ah, but then the clincher! "a TRUE TEA PARTY CANDIDATE!" BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAA! The race? County freakin' Commissioner!! It really amazes us how so many teabaggers believe "gummint is the problem" that want to become PART of the "gummint", then get in there and prove they HAVE NO CLUE how to do their jobs thus making it a closed loop of insanity! Who can forget "Heckuva Job horse-club-lawyer Brownie" and the EPA's Christine “ground zero air is safe to breath” Todd Whitman? Have great week and get busy working for your favorite candidate! See you in DC next month?

ONE NATION WORKING TOGETHER
MARCH OCTOBER 2ND 2010 WASHINGTON D.C.

One Nation Working Together is a social movement of individuals and organizations committed to putting America back to work and pulling America back together. Coming from a diverse set of backgrounds, experiences, beliefs and orientations, we are determined to build a more united country with good jobs, equal justice, and quality public education for all. Get involved HERE!!!
RALLY TO RESTORE SANITY OCTOBER 30th 2010 WASHINGTON D.C.
We're looking for the people who think shouting is annoying, counterproductive, and terrible for your throat; who feel that the loudest voices shouldn't be the only ones that get heard; and who believe that the only time it's appropriate to draw a Hitler mustache on someone is when that person is actually Hitler. Or Charlie Chaplin in certain roles. Are you one of those people? Excellent. Then we'd like you to join us in Washington, DC on October 30 -- a date of no significance whatsoever -- at the Daily Show's "Rally to Restore Sanity." Ours is a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority. If we had to sum up the political view of our participants in a single sentence... we couldn't. That's sort of the point. Get involved HERE!!!
Offshore Drilling is Not The Answer: Restore the Moratorium
from Surfrider Foundation (h/t jen)
SPILL BABY SPILL
The tragic and devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a stark reminder that offshore oil drilling is not the answer.
The Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank has spilled millions of gallons of oil into the ecologically rich waters in the Gulf of Mexico and continues to gush 210,000 gallons of oil into the sea every day. The spill remains unabated and now has the potential to become one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. The unfolding catastrophe clearly illustrates that offshore drilling is not safe and new technology is not fool proof.
Tell the Obama Administration new drilling is NOT THE ANSWER. Our coasts and the economy they support cannot withstand anymore!
We are reminded why the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara and the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill led to state and federal moratoriums on offshore oil drilling. The tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico makes it clear that it is time once again time to restore those moratoriums.

    • This week on Ring of Fire Radio, the Democratic Nominee for the United States Senate, Congressman Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania, will enter the Ring to talk about his nationally important race against…wait for it…the former president of the Club for Growth. With just over six weeks to go before the election, this is a race that really matters…for all of us, not just Pennsylvanians.

    • Author Deepa Kumar will be joining us to discuss the growing anti-Islam attitude in America, and she’ll discuss how the media has done a wonderful of providing hate mongers a venue to spew their vile rhetoric.
    • And author Paul Loeb will be here to talk about the importance of the upcoming midterm elections, and why progressives need to get past their anger at Obama or we could be looking at one of the worst Congressional majorities in recent history.

    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Tea Party Wins if Progressives Don’t Act The Republican Tea Party is celebrating their victories in yesterday’s primaries, but Progressives should be celebrating as well. This Tea Party is pushing the GOP even further to the right, which could mean that moderates and RINOs are left with only one place to go – The Democratic Party. Mike Papantonio appears on The Ed Show to talk about why the Republican Tea Party is a good thing for progressives.

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! As you may know President Obama was in Da Cleve this past week where he told students and hopium smokers shiny-object chestnuts like "If we are going to give tax breaks to companies, they should go to companies that create jobs here in America, not to create jobs overseas" and "The only reason they are holding this up is politics, pure and simple" (PD) and then went to Milwaukee to tell the peeps "Number one: I am going to keep fighting every single day, every single hour, every single minute, to turn this economy around and put people back to work and renew the American Dream, not just for your family, not just for all our families, but for future generations. That I can guarantee you." And this crowd-pleaser "I don’t want to buy stuff from someplace else. I want to grow our exports so that we’re selling to someplace else — products that say “Made in the U.S.A.” " AUDIENCE: U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.! (Milwaukee Courier) Wadda bunch of maroons! Dig under the boilerplate and Robert Reich tells us Obama’s whopping proposed corporate tax cuts help legitimize the supply-side dogma that the economy’s biggest obstacle to growth is the cost of capital, rather than the plight of ordinary working people. Robert Sheer @ TruthDig enjoins, The commitment of $50 billion to a national infrastructure program to be phased in over the next decade would prove to be too little too late. It is chump change compared with the $350 billion in loans and guarantees to one bank alone, Citigroup, which still cannot stand steadily on its own feet." DIGBY in Tough Love For Parasites snags one from Big Orange's MeteorBlades who found an AEI item from Kevin Hasset, AEI's director of economic-policy studies that proclaims, "the natural reluctance of workers to accept lower pay is amplified by how their wage helps define their identity. A $60,000-a-year office worker might have an extra-hard time coming to terms with becoming a $40,000-a-year worker also pointing out from kansascity.com CEO compensation totaled $598 million at the 50 companies that laid off the most workers The 50 U.S. chief executives who laid off the most employees between November 2008 and April 2010 eliminated a total of 531,363 jobs, according to the Institute for Policy Studies, a research group that works for social justice and against wealth concentration...In “CEO Pay and the Great Recession,” the institute said the $598 million in combined pay for the 50 executives would have paid one month’s worth of average-sized unemployment benefits for each of the laid-off workers. The top 50 layoff firms reported a 44 percent average profit increase for 2009, the report said. USA! USA! Oh but there's more in The United States of Inequality at Slate! On top of that the Obama "justice" department followed orders and won one for The Gipper II when Obama wins the right to invoke "State Secrets" to protect Bush crimes GLENN GREENWALD @ Salon: The distorted, radical use of the state secret privilege -- as a broad-based immunity weapon for compelling the dismissal of entire cases alleging Executive lawbreaking, rather than a narrow discovery tool for suppressing the use of specific classified documents -- is exactly what the Bush administration did to such extreme controversy...The ACLU's Ben Wizner, who argued the case on behalf of the plaintiffs, said "the United States will have closed its courtroom doors to torture victims while providing complete immunity to their torturers. The torture architects and their enablers may have escaped the judgment of this court, but they will not escape the judgment of history.. Even Andrew Sullivan laments in The Untamed Prince writing, "But Obama's insistence on protecting every Bush era war criminal and every Bush era war crime from any redress or even scrutiny is a sign both of how cold-blooded he can be, but more, I think, of how powerful the security state now is, how it can protect itself, how it exists independently of any real accountability to anyone, how even the metrics of judging it are beyond the citizen's reach or understanding. Huh. Does anybody remember Dennis Kucinich reading the 35 Articles of Impeachment on the SPAN? No? Don't feel too bad: neither do the Beltway Bobbleheads! And they will mightily defend their positions starting with washed-up NEWT "Contract ON America" GINGRICH on Fake Snooze Sunday. Save yer bricks for JOHN "Crybaby" BOEHNER on Face the Bob while Candy's Nation gets washed-up FORMER House Majority Leader & Tea-Bagger Extraordinaire DICK ARMEY, washed-up FORMER Senate Majority Leader TRENT LOTT plus washed-up FORMER Homeland Security honcho MICHAEL CHERTOFF and his equally washed-up henchwoman FRAN TOWNSEND, all good brick targets. (Why are these failed people offering their failed viewpoints on National TeeVee? Like they matter? Hmmmm.) Christiane Anampour tries to get at "why do they hate us STILL after nine long years" rationale with a roundtable including "Ground Zero Mosque" driver IMAM FEISAL ABDUL RAUF. Last brick target is FORMER NYC MAYER Rudy "Verb, Noun, 9-11" Ghouliani on Meet the David (who incidentally made $millions selling "security products" to dupes as Giuliani Partners LLC haha. Say Rudy! What ever happened to all that GOLD under the Twin Towers? Eh?) We strongly recommend Loose Change The Final Cut and LooseChange911.com to make sense of what really happened nine years ago. Best bet is to skip right to the Brick TeeVee Alerts and our regular features to get a grip of what's really going on. The Brick TeeVee Crew is in FULL-SCARE MODE now that the corporopress has already predicted a tea-bagger mid-term victory and all the "Good Cop" Dems are reminding us how bad another Regressive victory would be, even though those same "Good Cop" Dems are following the very same neo-liberal policies that got us into this mess in the first place! No doubt it seems the American Taliban have the upper hand convincing the sheeple, aided and abetted by the Koch Bros et. al. Welcome to Serfdom 21st Century style!

    This Week on Ring of Fire! September 10, 2010
    • This week on Ring of Fire Radio, author Andrew Bacevich will be here to tell us why the US must shift resources away from the military and stop acting like the world’s police officer, in order to help solve the major problems facing us in our own country.
    • On the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, president of the Interfaith Alliance, will enter the Ring to discuss the dangerous rise of religious intolerance in America.
    • Blogger Chauncey DeVega will be here to talk about some of the biggest threats posed by Glenn Beck, including the fact that he’s convinced his less than intelligent followers that they are, in fact, some of the brightest people on the planet.
    • And political satirist Matt Filipowicz will be here to run through some of the most ridiculous news stories from the last week, including the ongoing gibberish from the Right about the need for “trickle down economics.”
    • You Can Listen to Ring of Fire on These Stations HERE.
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Let’s Beat Glenn Beck’s Butt With One Nation Rally Oct. 2 The American middle class is under assault from both the GOP and corporate America. To make matters worse, polls show that Republicans have a slight edge over Democrats in the midterm elections. If this trend continues, we will be looking at the death of the American middle class, as Mike Papantonio points out on The Ed Schultz Show.
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: BP Trying to Spread Cost Burden BP released their assessment of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, and in their report, they stated that no single failure could be blamed, but rather the explosion was the result of numerous failures from numerous companies. As Mike Papantonio points out to Laura Flanders on GRITtv, this is just their way of spreading blame and cleanup costs.

    Eric Margolis September 5, 2010: Eric Margolis, foreign correspondent and author of War at the Top of the World and American Raj, discusses the appalling lack of knowledge displayed by the U.S. occupation forces in Afghanistan, how Americans are too uneducated and impatient to rival the British Empire’s colonial skills, the problem with exporting democracy to Muslim countries whose people are more concerned with justice, economic advisers hard at work making Afghanistan’s banks as insolvent as America’s and how U.S.-engineered term extensions for key Pakistani military posts have effectively deposed the civilian government.

    Michael O’Brien September 7, 2010: Michael O’Brien, author of America’s Failure in Iraq, discusses the media’s focus on troop escalations while ignoring the larger private contractor surges, the ease of starting wars and keeping them going since Congress abdicated its Constitutional responsibility, the inexcusable failures of the Coalition Provisional Authority and Paul Bremer, the primary purposes of contractors in Iraq: generate billable hours and stay alive, the critical questions not asked in the Fox News poll about U.S. opinion on the Iraq War, how Gen. Petraeus got promoted twice after losing 190,000 weapons meant for Iraqi security forces and why the surge’s success (even supposing it worked) in 2007 doesn’t retroactively justify the 2003 invasion. LISTEN Michael O’Brien(mp3) 44:03
