Backward Forward 2010! Given the propensity of President Not Sure wanting to "look forward" and not back at all the crimes of the previous admin we'll begin by looking forward withDday @ FDL (h/t jen) who sums it up: During the Great Recession, we’re sadly seeing a slow return to those Gilded Age, pre-New Deal policies, as what remains of the safety net staggers along. Social Security is under attack from deficit frauds like Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles. Unemployment insurance, food stamps and welfare have weathered blows for years, especially as their costs rose when demand for their services increased. A new Republican Congress will demand more cuts, squarely on these and other social programs, or will threaten to destroy the full faith and credit of the US government. It’s important to look to history to see the inevitable consequence of these backslides. If Democrats follow Republicans down the deficit rabbit hole, especially if they break faith on the bedrock promise of Social Security, we’re sure to see a return of the poorhouse, and the cruel belief that the people contained therein are somehow inferior, somehow given to rejecting self-sufficiency, somehow lazy, somehow defective. That belief has already crept into discussions about the 99ers, or the long-term unemployed. (See Nicole Sandler's Helpthe99ers.com and crooksandliars Help the 99ers ) Thanks for that absolutely "looking forward" insight, Dday. Everyone has some kind of "2010" list of some sort. Here are a few you might like!

»»» JULIAN ASSANGE @ Democracy NOW! WATCH NOW Julian Assange on WikiLeaks, War and Resisting Government Crackdown 2010 can be defined as the year of WikiLeaks. The whisteblowing website first made headlines around the world in April when it released a video of a U.S. helicopter gunship indiscriminately firing on Iraqi civilians killing 12 people, including two Reuters news staff. In July, WikiLeaks created a bigger firestorm when it published more than 90,000 classified U.S. military war logs of the war in Afghanistan. Then in October, WikiLeaks published some 390,000 classified U.S. documents on the war in Iraq—the largest intelligence leak in U.S. history and the greatest internal account of any war on public record. And in November WikiLeaks began releasing a giant trove of confidential State Department cables that sent shockwaves through the global diplomatic establishment. Throughout it all, WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange were targeted by the U.S. and other governments around the world. We play our interviews with Assange and with Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg. RELATED Pentagon Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg: Julian Assange is Not a Terrorist

This Week on The Best of Ring of Fire! December 25th, 2010
• On the best of Ring of Fire this week: Congressman Jerrold Nadler will be joining us to discuss the recent war crimes admissions of George W Bush, and he’ll tell us why he thinks we need to move forward with prosecutions.
• We’ll be taking a look at what the Tea Party is planning to do with itself now that they’ve actually got some of their own in Congress – Mother Jones’s investigative reporter Stephanie Mencimer warns us that they won’t be sitting quietly until the next election.
• Speaking of the Liptonites, GRITtv’s Laura Flanders stops by to talk about the new book she’s just edited: “At the Tea Party – The Wing Nuts, Whack Jobs and Whitey-Whiteness of the New Republican Right… And Why We Should Take It Seriously.”
• And author Ari Berman will be here to talk about how the Democratic Party has abandoned the great organizing campaigns that Howard Dean crafted over the last few years, and why we won’t be able to win elections if we don’t reconstruct it.
• A special note: As David Bender announced he has decided to leave Ring of Fire at the end of the year in order to work on several new projects, including a book and a documentary film. This week we’ll be announcing our newest torch-bearer in the Ring of Fire – and you won’t want to miss the big news! (HINT: His name begins with Sam Seder! Check out his LIVE weekday podcast 11:30 am et @ Majority.fm! -Ed.)
• You Can Listen to Ring of Fire on These Stations HERE.
• VIDEO! Congressman Nadler – Let’s Begin Torture Prosecutions In George W. Bush’s new memoir – Decision Points – and in subsequent interviews, the former president admits that he authorized torture techniques such as waterboarding during his time in office. And even though this admission stirred up media outlets, the admission disappeared almost as quickly as it surfaced. But Congressman Jerrold Nadler believes that this admission should spark a wave of prosecutions, and he recently spoke with Bobby Kennedy about what needs to be done now that this information is out in the open.
• VIDEO! Papantonio: Corporate America Loves Sweatshop Capitalism Corporate America is doing a fantastic job creating jobs. The only problem is that they aren’t creating any of them in America. A new report shows that in the last year, US corporations have created 1.4 million jobs overseas, while creating less than 1 million in the country they call home. Mike Papantonio takes on these corporate bastards on MSNBC’s The Ed Show.

• “After our Hitler parody for Crash JP Morgan Buy Silver, we put together this new “End the Fed” parody combining the 1984 Apple commercial and Helicopter Ben’s 60 minutes interviews.” by maxkeiser VIDEO! We love guys and your show. You rock. Pretty exciting that silver almost broke $31 in 2010! After our Hitler parody for Crash JP Morgan Buy Silver, we put together this new “End the Fed” parody combining the 1984 Apple commercial and Helicopter Ben’s 60 minutes interviews. Not as amusing as the former, it was a technical labor of love, but we hope it helps send a message that we need to put these central banksters out to pasture. We hope you like it and will post for your blog readers.

• Michael Hastings Dec 29, 2010: Michael Hastings, author of the infamous article “The Runaway General” in Rolling Stone magazine, discusses the seeming resolution of Iraq’s incredibly lengthy government-formation process; the firm Shi’ite grip on power and long-term marginalization of Sunnis (exemplified by their go-to man in government, the Shia Ayad Allawi); Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki’s conflicted and complicated relationship with Iran; and the remarkably successful Gen. Petraeus Iraq surge (narrative). LISTEN HERE (mp3) 17:03
• Gareth Porter Dec 23, 2010: Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for IPS News, discusses the increasingly brutal US tactics in the Kandahar offensive in Afghanistan including the razing of entire villages; how the US breaks self-imposed counterinsurgency rules when the going gets tough; the realization of mid-level officers and Petraeus himself that a tough new COIN strategy is as likely to fail as previous versions; and how the National Intelligence Estimates on Afghanistan and Pakistan reveal that US success in Afghanistan is wholly dependent on Pakistan’s rejection of the Taliban – which is exceedingly unlikely. LISTEN HERE (mp3) 27:44 This recording is excerpted from the KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles broadcast of December 24th. The original program can be heard HERE (mp3).
