Brick TeeVee Media Watch Update! We begin with some older news about THE MEDIA. A few weeks ago it was reported BBC Online: 360 staff to lose jobs. BBC confirms level of job redundancies as part of move to cut department's budget by 25% by 2013 AND BBC World Service forecast to lose 30m listeners as cuts announced - Government accused of damaging Britain's reputation overseas by reducing funding by 16% (guardian.co.uk). Equally outrageous is the reptillian proposed cuts to NPR in the US: UPDATE 1-U.S. House votes to cut funding to public radio (reuters) Republicans said the move, which passed by a vote of 228-192, was motivated by the need to cut spending in the face of a record federal budget deficit. Democrats argued the bill was a thinly veiled ideological attack on an institution that some Republicans have long criticized for what they see as its liberal bias. The measure's prospects beyond the Republican-led House appear doubtful as Democrats control the Senate and President Barack Obama, who opposed the bill, could veto it. Watch NY Rep. Anthony Weiner Sarcastically Mocks GOP NPR Defunding Bill (VIDEO) at talkingpointsmemo.com. (You can add your name to 170MillionAmericans.org.) Now comes this tidbit BBC Wants US State Department Funding – Strings Attached? at blacklistednews.com (Source: EurasiaReview) One of the best-known broadcasters, the BBC World Service, has applied for a grant from the US State Department. The company says it needs the funding to develop anti-jamming technology, but some fear the US might use the deal to promote its agenda. Viewers of the BBC World Service might be surprised to learn that starting in May, the news they receive could be influenced by the US. “The cuts in the BBC budget are so draconian that they are looking for money any place they can get it and I am sure the State Department was aware of this,” said Brian Drolet from Deepdish television. “I think what you can interpret from this is that the United States feels comfortable with the political line and the interpretation of world events that are coming from the BBC.” The World Service says it will use the money to prevent its programs from being blocked in countries like Iran and China. But there is concern that cash from the US government will come with strings attached. “The minute you actually start taking the money, there is bound to be a certain element of ‘he who pays the piper calls the tune’,” said director of Institute of Economic Affairs Mark Littlewood. “It is a strange arrangement, and I would worry that the more complicated we make the BBC World Service, the less pure its message can be.” Okay so the BBC News Service and NPR are getting their funding cut but there's money from the U.S. State Department to give to the BBC to "prevent its programs from being blocked"? BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE from David Sirota reporting in The new "Red Dawn" at salon.com Amid the triumphalism, however, we missed the fact that the invaders started winning -- a fact that none other than "Red Dawn's" 2011 remake underscores. That's the subtext of a Los Angeles Times report this week about MGM taking "the extraordinary step" of digitally removing fictional Chinese villains from the $60 million film "lest the leadership in Beijing be offended." Why the fear of upsetting such an odiously anti-democratic government? Because movie executives worry that a film involving a negative message about China "would harm their ability to do business with the rising Asian superpower, one of the fastest-growing and potentially most lucrative markets for American movies." ...Whether you are a "Red Dawn" fan or not, the episode shows that for all the high-minded theories about American cultural exports aiding democratic ferment and challenging autocracy, the dynamic is starting to work the other way as autocracy gives orders to American culture. Indeed, wielding its increasing market leverage, China is now countering our First Amendment ethos with a push for what Times reporter Ben Fritz calls pervasive "self-censorship” -- the kind in which America's media industries preemptively shape content to keep China's dictators happy. Lastly Ilyse Hogue from guardian.co.uk explains in A Fox alert for Rupert Murdoch's BSkyB Fox's pre-eminent position has had an irrefutable and destructive impact on the state of political discourse in the United States. Since its inception, Fox News has performed as a political party, not as an objective journalistic outlet. Since President Obama took office, Fox has succeeded not only in spreading misinformation and lies, but also in entrenching those fictions so that its audience relates to them as irrefutable fact. One in four Americans believes "most or all" of what's said on Fox News, despite Fox's fabrication of everything from death panels to Climategate.... The claims are so outrageous that they would be funny – if they didn't have real impact on people's lives. ... The UK is currently faced with the prospect of full News Corp ownership of BSkyB. As political and opinion leaders think through what this would mean for their country, they should carefully consider not only Fox's worst instances of propagandising, but also the potential British audience for such misinformation. And, most likely, they need look no further than their flatmate. Seddon warns in Tribune that "America needs to wake up before people like Beck and his ilk has it by the throat." Do read the whole op-ed! Surprisingly, as the radiation clouds from the severely-damaged Dai-Ichi Fukushima nuclear plant are floating toward the West Coast of the U.S. the media insist there's nothing to it and Japan's NHK has not been telling its citizens the full story of just how much radiation has been released. The best source of information has been the Reuters News Service HERE but then was pulled on Friday, then re-launched, then went dark again explaining, "Reiterating that the live blog is going on hiatus. Will be back when editors give the go-ahead." One commenter wrote, "I must say honestly that my first thought was that Reuters is being influenced by governments to stop the think-tanking." Ya think? Our own MS alerts us, "The posters from the REUTERS dark site decided that the Reuters' Facebook page they were left with was too clumsy to continue the fast paced discussion of events as they occurred in real time so one of them set up a nice mockup of the defunct REUTERS page for everyone and it's zipping along. After 2 weeks riding Reuters, most are adept at which sources to link to for info and they are running with it!" Go HERE for more up-to-date info. Tyler Durden @ zerohedge has an update GoogleEarth Based 3D Map Of Real-Time Radioactivity Distribution In Japan; Projected Global Radioactivity Dispersion: Confirming that in a time of instantaneous crowdsourced information distribution and analysis, any attempt by a government to institute an information blackout of any nature is doomed to failure, is the following amazing Google Earth-based 3D interactive map of Geiger readings from Japan. And if that is not enough, the Pachube community has released an extensive selection of crowd-sourced realtime radiation monitoring tools and widgets, focusing on as many Japanese territories as possible. Shortly we are confident all geographical holes will be filled, and every square mile of the affected territories will be mapped out surpassed the government's "Under Survey" blackout attempts. Make sure to have the GoogleEarth API set up in advance of checking out the plugin. and also adds TEPCO Admits To Another Cover Up As Radioactivity In Seawater Near Fukushima Soars To 1,251 Above Legal Limit But the most infuriating development is the latest disclosure from TEPCO that once again it covered up critical data. [KYODO:] TEPCO's Fukushima office acknowledged Saturday that it had known earlier that the radiation in the underground level of the turbine building of one of the reactors was extremely high, but had not made the information available to pertinent parties. Edano criticized the utility's handling of the data, saying unless it reports necessary information to authorities in a timely manner, ''the government will not be able to give appropriate instructions and (TEPCO) will make workers, and eventually the public, distrustful'' of the firm. So aside from the constant lies and misinformation, the public can be assued that all is well. Well said. Harvey Wasserman then explains @ huffpo Obama's $36 Billion Nuke-Powered Giveaway: The $36 billion Obama wants to underwrite new reactor construction would be added to $18.5 billion set aside under George W. Bush. In 2010 Obama allocated $8.33 billion of that for two reactors under construction in Georgia. The Continuing Resolution for funding the government until the end of the 2011 fiscal year slashes all loan guarantees for energy except those for nuclear reactors and uranium enrichment.... The economic history of atomic power has been catastrophic, with the previous generation of reactors coming in on average around 200% over original cost projections. Reactors now under construction in Finland and France have soared to billions of dollars over budget and are years behind schedule. ...But while slashing social programs, Obama seems determined to use taxpayer money to fund a radioactive technology that grows ever more expensive and uncompetitive. Meanwhile stateside the reptillians are digging in their talons all over the country. ThinkProgress has a good round-up from their Wonk Room: REPORT: In 12 States, GOP Plans To Slash Corporate Taxes While Increasing Burden on Working Families ThinkProgress has been documenting conservative efforts to shift the burden of record budget shortfalls onto middle-class Americans, while simultaneously doling out tax cuts to corporations. While progressive governors have proposed raising revenue from those who can afford it, alongside painful cuts to programs, Republican governors have unveiled budgets that cut taxes for corporations and raise them on the middle-class and working poor. In this report, ThinkProgress evaluates the priorities conservatives have set in twelve states: BONUS POINTS for naming all 12 states! EXTRA BONUS POINTS for naming the Reptile Guvnor! No peeking now... Remember the on-going saga of the ROBO-SIGNERS? Yves Smtih at NakedCapitalism has an update (h/t maddy) Slapping Team Obama: Several Democratic AGs to Withdraw from Proposed Mortgage Fraud Settlement; Federal Negotiations in Disarray: The so-called mortgage settlement looks to be coming apart at the seams. That does not mean there will not be a deal of some sort.That does not mean there will not be a deal of some sort. Remember, a hallmark of the Obama administration is to do things simply to have more “achievements” to discuss. But not only, as has been rumored for some time, are a number of Republican attorneys general saying they will not join in the settlement, so are some Democrats as well. It’s important to recognize that Democratic withdrawals are a far bigger problem for Obama than the Republicans. Given that a number of AGs signed up at the last minute, and some of the Republicans were not even on board with the concept of a mortgage settlement, defections among the GOP participants can be depicted as partisanship. By contrast, repudiation by Democrats, particularly Democrats that have garnered some attention in the national press by taking mortgage abuses seriously, is much harder for the Administration to explain away... And why all the haste? Well, it appears that cheerleading, letting the banks foreclose when investors would prefer deep principal mods to viable borrowers, ill-conceived Federal mortgage modification programs, and a head-in-the-sand approach to documentation problems and procedural abuses have done wonders for the housing market, which most experts expect to fall another 10% this year. The Administration appears prepared to redouble its efforts in this failed strategy since it lacks the guts to do anything that might actually be effective. But Team Obama still appears to believe that all problems can be solved via public relations. The fact that HAMP was an embarrassment appears to have led to the bizarre conclusion that the remedy is better modification theater. Turning to world issues President Compromise gave the go-ahead for U.N. Resolution 1973 to impose a no-fly zone on Libya (guardian.co.uk) while in South America where protests greeted him in CHILE, BRAZIL and El Salvador plus Dennis Kucinich: Libya Air Strikes Could Be 'Impeachable Offense' @ huffpo.

    • Stepping into the Ring of Fire this week: we’ve got fellow liberal radio host Mike Malloy who’s going to tell us about his recent arrest while protesting the 8th anniversary of the Iraq War, and while protesting the treatment of whistleblower Bradley Manning.
    • We’ll also be talking with author Kevin Baker about the 100th anniversary of the tragic Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York – a tragedy that helped create stronger workplace protections for all American workers.
    • We’ll also be talking with blogger and author Cliff Schecter about a creepy militia group in Alaska that is gaining way too much power over Alaskan politicians.
    • And author Robert Parry will be here to give us an update on the situation in Libya, and we’ll find out what Gaddafi’s regime and George W. Bush have in common.

    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Sorry GOP, Libya Won’t Hurt Obama in 2012 Most Americans support the US’s limited involvement in Libya, so why do conservatives think that this is going to prevent him from being re-elected? Obama has taken the anti-Bush approach in the situation, and Americans are pleased so far. But, as Mike Papantonio points out on Fox Business’s Follow The Money, this issue can only effect Obama if he gets us involved in another endless war.
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Ford CEO Gets $60 Million Payday, Workers Get Pay Cut Union members made some serious concessions when the American automotive industry was tanking, and in return, they expected management to do the same. It turns out that Ford’s CEO Alan Mulally received a $60 million bonus this past year, as the average auto worker was making less than $20 an hour. Mike Papantonio appears on Fox Business’s Follow The Money to discuss the issue.
    • VIDEO! Papantonio: Libya and the Whiny Republicans The conservatives seem to be torn over whether they want a war in Libya, or whether they want a BIG war in Libya. The only thing they can agree on is that they don’t want Obama handling it. Mike Papantonio and Ed Schultz fire back at the flip-flopping GOP over their ridiculous hatred of Obama and everything he does.

    Lew Rockwell March 25, 2011: Lew Rockwell, founder and Chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, discusses the “Naked Aggression Against Libya;” fighting for control of oil resources on behalf of the MIC and US empire; the triumvirate of women promoting and commanding the Libyan war effort; Egypt’s tough slog to freedom and liberty following Mubarak’s ouster; and how democracy, as applied to foreign countries, means little more than the freedom to vote for the candidate chosen by the US.
    Rep. James Ridgeway March 26, 2011: James Ridgeway, Senior Washington Correspondent for Mother Jones, discusses the general detainment conditions in US prisons, in light of Bradley Manning’s mistreatment; the “Angola 3” prisoners held in solitary confinement for almost four decades; the forgotten Eighth Amendment to the Constitution; using solitary confinement as a baseline condition, rather than a temporary punitive measure; why prison culture is indicative of extreme American ignorance or just barbarism; and the few politicians willing to stick their necks out for indicted criminals, for little to no political gain.
    Barrett Brown March 26, 2011: Barrett Brown, journalist and sometimes-spokesman for Anonymous, discusses the loosely affiliated hacker collective known as Anonymous; contributing to the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and beyond; the internet’s use as a tool of liberation and of repressive surveillance; the danger of private companies developing software (dubbed “Metal Gear” by Anonymous) to infiltrate and manipulate social networks – especially those used to aid popular revolutions; and how the anti-Ben Bernanke Anonymous campaign serves as a distraction from the group’s core mission.
    John V. Walsh March 26, 2011: John V. Walsh, frequent contributor to Counterpunch.org, discusses his article “Impeach Obama: A Challenge to Tea Partiers and Antiwar Liberals;” the two-party partisan trap that causes incessant infighting and diverts attention from the real problems; how Obama’s decision to militarily intervene in yet another Sunni Muslim country virtually guarantees more blowback; looking at the UN Libya vote in terms of the represented populations for and against intervention, which turns the 10-5 vote on its head; and how China’s foreign policy indicates the 21st century will be more about economics than warfare.

Brick TeeVee Japan Libya Special! The U.N.'s authorization for the Libyan No-Fly Zone began its action on Saturday. We go to Guardian UK LIVE BLOG Military action begins against Libya - Saturday 19 March • Coalition fires 110 Tomahawk missiles • Pentagon: We will enforce no-fly zone • British forces in action over Libya and more info Libya no-fly zone – live updates • US announces Operation Odyssey Dawn is under way • More than 100 Tomahawk missiles fired on Libyan targets • British and French forces in action over Libya. Check these links out and see if it squares with JOINT CHIEF HEAD GENERAL MIKE MULLEN on This Anampout, FAKE SNOOZE, Face the Bob and Meet the David. Greg Palast explains TEPCO's involvement in Tokyo Electric to Build US Nuclear Plants: The No BS Info on Japan's Disastrous Nuclear Operators @ t r u t h o u t (h/t maddy): I need to speak to you, not as a reporter, but in my former capacity as lead investigator in several government nuclear plant fraud and racketeering investigations. I don't know the law in Japan, so I can't tell you if Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) can plead insanity to the homicides about to happen. But what will Obama plead? The administration, just months ago, asked Congress to provide a $4 billion loan guarantee for two new nuclear reactors to be built and operated on the Gulf Coast of Texas - by TEPCO and local partners. As if the Gulf hasn't suffered enough. Here are the facts about TEPCO and the industry you haven't heard on CNN... MO MADDY Anthony Weiner: Obama Is 'Not A Values Guy' @ huffpo Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) and a handful of other House Democrats expressed deep frustration with President Barack Obama's leadership on Wednesday, saying he needs to do more to set the direction for the progressive movement. ...When asked by The Huffington Post whether what's happening at the state and local level with labor unions and budget battles would rise to the national stage, Weiner said that the leadership of national officials -- including the president -- will be essential to push the issue forward. "We've spent a lot of time waiting for Godot when it comes to the Obama White House, and we kind of -- to some degree -- have to internalize the idea that, you know what? That's probably not the way to go," Weiner said. "We have to start initiating some of this." Continued Weiner: "It is now pretty clear to me -- I'm not saying this is pejorative -- the president, he doesn't animate his day by saying, 'All right, what is the thing that has me fired up today? I'm going to out and try to move the ball on it.' He kind of sees his job as to take this calamitous noise that's going on on the left with people like us and on the right on Fox News, and his path to being a successful president, in his view, is taking that cacophony and trying to make good, level-headed, smart policy out of it and moving it incrementally down the road. That's nice. That's a good thing. We need that, obviously. The problem is there's no substitute for someone really leaning into these values questions." Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) was also at the gathering and later added, in reference to labor and budget battles, "The only regret I have is that the White House isn't fighting back against this. It's one thing to say, 'Well, I stand behind the workers -- how far behind, I don't know.' It's another thing to say, 'I stand with them and in front of them to protect their rights.' And I'm waiting for that to happen." Rep. Peter DeFazio(D-Ore.)said "Republicans are going to have a hard time getting the votes...The first people who are going to get hit are the people on Wall Street, the bond houses and others, who are the biggest supporters of Republicans. So I think we have tremendous leverage on the debt limit. We should say there will not be a single Democratic vote on the debt limit until we put everything on the table. We're willing to look at any spending, but we also have to look at revenue....The problem is the negotiator-in-chief and where he'll end up, and whether we can put some steel in his spine," he said. "I assume he caved in on taxes in December because he was blackmailed on the treaty with Russia with nuclear weapons, which was absolutely critical. But that's pretty pathetic also." The Crew here has the Caver-in Cheif bowing to his Masters of the Universe. Again. But we wholly support Weiner, Kucinich and DeFazio in these efforts. Peeps on the Left Coast have bought out all the iodine pills they can find, as digby explains Plumes Our Way As a friend reminded me last night, we baby boomers were exposed to many radiation plumes throughout our childhoods when they were testing hydrogen bombs in the Pacific, so we shouldn't get panicked about this. So far we seem to be holding up ok. But it is still startling to see this in black and white:

    A United Nations forecast of the possible movement of the radioactive plume coming from crippled Japanese reactors shows it churning across the Pacific, and touching the Aleutian Islands on Thursday before hitting Southern California late Friday. Health and nuclear experts emphasize that radiation in the plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States, even if hints of it are ultimately detectable. In a similar way, radiation from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 spread around the globe and reached the West Coast of the United States in ten days, its levels measurable but minuscule. [...] The forecast assumes that radioactivity in Japan is released continuously and forms a rising plume. It ends with the plume heading into Southern California and the American Southwest, including Nevada, Utah and Arizona. The plume would have continued eastward if the United Nations scientists had run the projection forward. Earlier this week, the leading edge of the tangible plume was detected by the Navy’s Seventh Fleet when it was operating about 100 miles northeast of the Japanese reactor complex. On Monday, the Navy said it had repositioned its ships and aircraft off Japan “as a precautionary measure.” The United Nations agency has also detected radiation from the stricken reactor complex at its detector station in Gunma, Japan, which lies about 130 miles to the southwest. The chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Gregory B. Jaczko, said Monday that the plume posed no danger to the United States. “You just aren’t going to have any radiological material that, by the time it traveled those large distances, could present any risk to the American public,” he said in a White House briefing. Mr. Jaczko was asked if the meltdown of a core of one of the reactors would increase the chance of harmful radiation reaching Hawaii or the West Coast. “I don’t want to speculate on various scenarios,” he replied. “But based on the design and the distances involved, it is very unlikely that there would be any harmful impacts.”
If there has to be a radiation plume that's pretty much how you'd want it to go. The longer it's out there in the Pacific the more it disperses. Better there than over Tokyo. THIS JUST IN! We defer to our clairvoyant, critical-thinking contributor MS with this bit of clarity commenting on Suburban Guerrilla Suzie Madrak's I’m tired of a president:
    She's too easy on him. It's not just that he won't prosecute bankers crimes.... let's not forget he was no innocent bystander - he's a willing participant and one of the main catalytic perpetrators ... He's one of the criminals himself. And he also hand picked, appointed and annointed the head of operations for the whole heist - Timmy. And when it comes to not prosecuting crimes... let us not forget about the dozens of treasonous criminals who directly proceeded him that he refuses to "look back" at, that committed national and international crimes from illegal war to torture to spying to.... oh we all know the long laundry list. Now the Justice focus is pirated music and .... marijuana? Not to mention the crackdown on cigarette manufacturers crimes of over 50 yrs ago. Which is a hard one to justify when you're a declared Non-Looker-Backer. Oh and yeah, the world's poster-country for HUMANITARIANISM is once again going to bomb the dickens out of yet another oil rich country in a sweeping gesture of ....humanitarianism. I'm tired too. You know what's interesting. If there had not been a MASSIVE media campaign of disinfo and outright lies for all of these years, not just here but in many/most of TPTB nations..... we would probably all be just nodding in trust when they tell us - Don't worry! Radiation is not harmful, or when they tell Japanese, Don't worry, it's in control and the radiation won't hurt you. And a million other things they tell us and act shocked when we don't listen and obey. The earthlings have finally figured it out that they've been brutally and unconscionably LIED to for ... the longest time. And now the "news" crews can chirp in chorus away all they want... but ... almost nobody believes them anymore. They might as well turn off the power and talk to themselves. And that's an interesting byproduct of this wall to wall, decade long propaganda campaign. So War Number 4 begins. While the Peace Prizer In Chief happens to be in Latin America - the only remaining oasis of IMF-free oil land on the globe. And it's handy for us, the 'humanitarian forces', that both neighboring nations to the east and the northwest have just been thrust into chaos just prior to flying in the F 22s. Wonder who the new puppet we'll be installing is ... Wonder what the humanitarian output going to Japan is - in comparison to the humanitarian output going to Libya. Not to mention our humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan Pakistan and Iraq. And the behind the scenes humanitarian work of Africom in African oil rich nations. And all those armed humanitarians at bases in Colombia, and Costa Friggin Rica who doesn't even have a military. Feels so heart-warming at tax time to know that your hard earned money is at least going to pay for 'humanitarian' causes around the world. Why, it's almost like just donating a chunk of your income to international charity. We do fall a wee short on exercising those humanitarian efforts in our own country however. The one where a staggering 20% of our children live in poverty. As in 1 out of every 5 children. I smell inflation on the US horizon as well. Can't overlook the significance of the timing. Because in our lifetimes, working people have never been in such economic pain as they are now. Because we've never seen so many people lose jobs (one county here is at 15% unemployment), lose health care, and homes, go hungry and homeless. Because we've never seen so much mega corporate and bankster profits. So watch the necessities skyrocket at a time such as this one. Food, gas, rent -- one by one they will become luxury items for the sector Formerly Known As: "Middle Class". It would almost be more "humane" to do it Chinese style. Just line us up and execute us. This slow tortuous death is laced with cruelty and sadism. Weekend rant on the Humanity of it all.

Papantonio: GOP’s Union Busting is Theft The GOP’s assault on organized labor has been taking place for decades in America, and only recently has the story managed to make the headline news. And the story goes way deeper than what’s happening in Wisconsin. The GOP is actively trying to keep working class Americans living in poverty, just so their corporate masters can add a few extra dollars to their bottom lines. Make no mistake – their union busting efforts are just a new tool in their ongoing class war. Mike Papantonio discusses the GOP’s plan with Joshua Holland, an investigative journalist with Alternet.

They stumbled and fumbled and threw away hundreds of billions. Meanwhile, W.

Why can’t America put people that have at least Warren’s intelligence in positions of power? Oh right, this would upset the banks.

    Philip Giraldi March 17, 2011: Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses CIA contractor Raymond Davis’s release from Pakistani custody after his “blood money” check cleared; the cheap and easy restitution for US killing in third world countries (aka: “Sorry about that, kid. Here’s $1500); how Col. Gaddafi’s tenacious hold on power has surprised many of his critics; how Obama’s reluctance to be “The Decider” has decreased US leverage in foreign policy negotiations; and the National Endowment for Democracy’s watchful eye on ME/NA revolutions.
    Rep. Walter Jones March 17, 2011: Rep. Walter Jones, eight term Congressman from North Carolina, discusses the talk of a 2014, instead of 2011, Afghanistan withdrawal deadline; the Kucinich-Jones cosponsored bill requiring Obama to get the troops out by year’s end; the elusive definition of “winning” the war (possibly meaning building roads and schools in Afghanistan while US infrastructure crumbles); why the US can’t continue as the world’s policeman while borrowing the money to do so; using smarter tactics (more bombs, fewer troops) in fighting the war on terrorism; and how a renewed military draft will serve as a forceful reminder to Americans that there are indeed wars going on.
    Robert Naiman March 19, 2011: Robert Naiman, Policy Director at Just Foreign Policy, discusses Gen. David Petraeus’s “progress” report (contradicted by US intelligence analysts) to Congress for the Afghan War review; polls that show Americans are turning against the war as the Paul-Kucinich-Jones resolution gains support; rhetoric vs. reality on the July 2011 troop drawdown; and why measurements of “success” are only cynically manipulated statistics, as everyone – especially Petraeus – knows the war is a lost cause.
    Mike Gogulski March 19, 2011: Mike Gogulski, founder of the Bradley Manning Support Network, discusses the myriad events going on this weekend (March 19-20) in support of Bradley Manning; Obama’s decision to rely on Pentagon assurances that Manning was being appropriately treated in custody – after (former) State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley forced the issue; the mainstream media’s broad objection to Manning’s forced nudity and other degradations; and the incredible WikiLeaks revelations that have shaken corrupt governments the world over.

Brick TeeVee Worldwide Crisis Edition! What's next? Locusts? Right? OH They're in Congress and statehouses! (h/t susan haha!) We go to BradBlog's Brad Friedman on 3/12/2011 3:04am [Live Blogging] EXPLOSION ROCKS NUCLEAR PLANT AT FUKUSHIMA | INJURIES, PLUMES OF SMOKE, WALLS COLLAPSED | EVAC AREA WIDENED @ 3/12/2011 3:04am PM spokes: 'container not breached'; 140k evacuated; 4 injured in explosion; 'At least' 9 exposed to radiation (may rise to 160) LATEST: Radiation levels too high, Meltdown may have occurred; Iodine pills for radiation poisoning circulated | Emergency cooling system fails at 2nd reactor, valve opened to release pressure... YIKES! Much more all over the series of toobs - feel free to post yer findings below. The Crew found some interesting items at globalresearch.ca Click through and post some snips if you can. Lots to read! •How Wisconsin Can Turn Austerity into Prosperity – Own a Bank - by Ellen Brown - 2011-03-07 Wisconsin has a population that is nine times the size of North Dakota’s. Other factors being equal, Wisconsin might be able to amass over $24 billion in deposits and generate an equivalent sum in loans – over six times the deficit complained of by the state’s governor. That lending capacity could be used for many purposes, depending on the will of the legislature and state law.How to Read Gates’s Shift on the Wars - by Ray McGovern - 2011-03-03 Now, the savvy Gates appears to have made a new calculation, that it is the right time to join the rats leaving the sinking ship of the Iraq and Afghan war policies.German Imperialism and the Crisis in Libya- by Peter Schwarz, Alex Lantier - 2011-03-03 The precipitate and reckless haste of the German ruling elite to flex its military muscle in Libya suggests that it sees the crisis there as an opportunity to shed whatever remnants remain of the post-World War II restrictions on the German military.Civil war in Libya, intervention by the West already a reality- by William Bowles - 2011-03-06 Coup or insurrection? The more we learn about how the 'insurrection' in Libya unfolded the more it appears that behind the demonstrations a coup was being launched. Nothing else explains the overnight appearance of weapons including attacks on arms depots and military installations accompanied by well-timed rumours of atrocities being committed by Ghadafi's air force and 'African mercenaries'.[1] And this one is really long... Venezuela : the Embattled Future - by Dr. Frederic F. Clairmont - 2011-03-03 I daresay it would be well nigh impossible to find a more succinct exposition of the motive force of this revolution. I hasten to add that this concise humanist credo is also an obituary of the white man's blood-drenched ruling-class Church as it has evolved since the Conquista and whose overriding role was and remains the reduction of its victims to Christianity, servility and subordination. Back in Wisconsin we give a big h/t to jen for dday @ firedoglake.com

    Anti-Public Employee Bill Passes Senate in Wisconsin; Only the Beginning of the Fight. . . So what happens now? There are a host of potential implications:
    • Assembly. First, the state assembly has to pass the bill. That shouldn’t be too difficult; because it’s supposedly “non-fiscal,” there’s no hope of a quorum fight that could be caused by a Democratic walkout. And Assembly Republicans already voted for the whole budget repair bill – at 1 in the morning a couple weeks ago – with only a few defections. So passing the anti-union piece, which was in that other bill, shouldn’t be a big struggle for them. It’s pretty clear this will go to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature.
    • Legal challenges. There are going to be a number of legal challenges to this bill. It will not be implemented right away. There’s the near-term challenge of how the bill got passed tonight. It was done in a way that may have violated open meetings laws, by not allowing 24 hours notice for a public meeting of the conference committee. There are other statutes about collective bargaining that may be brought up in court and fought. And there’s the issue of the bill having a fiscal impact. Scott Walker spent three weeks claiming that collective bargaining was a fiscal issue, and then the legislature just passed the bill as “non-fiscal.” Courts will have to wade through a lot of this, and it’s sure to go up to the state Supreme Court. Which brings us to…
    • Supreme Court fight. The matchup between David Prosser (R) and JoAnn Kloppenberg (D) for the state Supreme Court on April 5 just got very interesting. It’s a statewide vote, and the balance of power on the state Supreme Court is at stake. Right now there are 4 Republicans and 3 Democrats on the court, but one of those Republicans is Prosser. Expect lots of organizing and millions of dollars poured into this election, which is much like a political election, with debates and everything. If Democrats win, the legality of what took place tonight may be put in greater question.
    • General strike. Union leaders are reportedly discussing a general strike, and the mood of the protesters, who stormed the Capitol upon word of the bill, echoes that. You could see some kind of near-term labor walkout, at least in Madison and possibly throughout the state.
    • Recalls. This will only energize progressives and labor to get the required signatures for recalls. All 8 Republicans eligible for recall voted to strip public employee unions of their rights, despite clear public opposition. Many of these Republicans, frankly, are going to recall as early as this summer, and if just three of them lose, the balance of power will switch to Democrats in the state Senate. There are also races for three open seats in the state Assembly coming up in May, so even more movement could occur.
    • Scott Walker. If his approval ratings were slipping before, they may fall off a cliff now. Walker cannot be recalled until January 2012, and that’s a long way off. But depending on the momentum from the state Supreme Court election, recall elections, Assembly open seats, and legal fights, there could easily be enough support to recall Walker by then.
    That’s a thumbnail sketch. This is obviously a huge setback for the labor movement – the bill has a number of provisions designed not just to restrict bargaining rights but stop the flow of union dues in the state – but it also represents an opportunity. This is the beginning, not the end of this fight.
If you think Hosni Walker is bad see RACHEL MADDOW @ PoliticusUSA on MI's Guvnor Rick Snider Rachel Maddow Exposes Michigan Republicans Secret War On Democracy Snyder calls his “budget bill” a “shared sacrifice,” but it gifts corporations with 1.8 billion in tax breaks while hitting citizens with harder taxes, including seniors and other vulnerables, and cutting essential services to an already suffering region. We can't find the transcript so post below if you find it! THEN MADDOW interviews NAOMI KLEIN! WATCH Rachel's interview @ truthout Naomi Klein: GOP Strategy for Disaster Capitalism and see below for the FULL HOUR Naomi Klein interview on DN! Next John Amato @ crookandliars.com uncovers Nebraska Anti-Abortion Law Tortures Mother to watch her Baby Die! This is sick and twisted but entirely predictable, because extremist conservatives already in the government are now being emboldened by the arrival of the Fox News Tea Party Brigade in the halls of power. We give the last word to HARVEY WASSERMAN @ www.NukeFree.org:
    Japan's Quake Could Have Irradiated the Entire US Had the massive 8.9 Richter-scale earthquake that has just savaged Japan hit off the California coast, it could have ripped apart at least four coastal reactors and sent a lethal cloud of radiation across the entire United States. (http://nukefree.org/ace-hoffman-computerized-graphic-what-if-chernobyl-hit-america )
    The two huge reactors each at San Onofre and Diablo Canyon are not designed to withstand such powerful shocks. All four are extremely close to major faults. All four reactors are located relatively low to the coast. They are vulnerable to tsunamis like those now expected to hit as many as fifty countries.
    ~snip~ By the federal Price-Anderson Act of 1957, the owners of the destroyed reactors---including Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison---would be covered by private insurance only up to $11 billion, a tiny fraction of the trillions of dollars worth of damage that would be done. The rest would become the responsibility of the federal taxpayer and the fallout victims. Virtually all homeowner insurance policies in the United States exempt the insurers from liability from a reactor disaster.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS WHO REFUSE TO FIGHT See CourageToResist.org UPDATE! A Visitor Watches Bradley Manning’s Mental Health Deteriorate By: Ryan Gallagher For over seven months, Manning has been detained in solitary confinement at a maximum security military brig in Virginia. He has been forced to endure widely condemned conditions and could face the death sentence as a result of charges recently leveled against him. He has yet to receive so much as a preliminary hearing. House, who was born in Alabama, was brought up in a conservative household and was an Eagle Scout as a boy. He admits that growing up he “never really had any big doubts about the US govt or about the fact that people’s due process may be infringed upon.” Consequently, the detainment and subsequent treatment of his friend, Manning, came as something of a shock and an awakening. He helped start the Bradley Manning Advocacy Fund and has appeared on television and radio talking about the treatment of the soldier. It has been a “very jarring” experience, he says. Last week, as part of a media conference call with Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg and former Judge Advocate General Jon Shelburne, House spoke at length about his experiences visiting Manning. What he described was deeply troubling. He spoke about how the severe emotional and physical deprivation forced upon Manning is taking its toll, and suggested US authorities are – by treating him harshly – trying to extract a confession that implicates WikiLeaks’ editor-in-chief, Julian Assange. It is important that the full story, as told by House, is in the public domain. In this case, a single quote as chosen by a journalist is simply not enough. Below is a transcript of House’s story, taken from a phonecall on Thursday 3 March 2011. A recording of the call can be heard HERE. LISTEN!

    • Stepping into the Ring of Fire this week: Rolling Stone contributing Editor Michael Hastings will be here to tell us how our military leaders in Afghanistan attempted to skew the reality of the war to sway the votes of American senators.
    • We’ll also be talking with Mary Holland and Louise Habakus about the vaccine epidemic in America, and how the pharmaceutical industry and the government are hiding the dangers of over-vaccination.
    • We’ll also be talking with Congressman Bruce Braley about his recent trip to Afghanistan, and we’ll find out what’s happening in the war that Americans seem to have forgotten about.
    • And investigative journalist Lee Fang will join us to discuss his recent rebuttal to Charles Koch’s op-ed where he tried to convince Americans that he and his brother aren’t as evil as we believe.

    • VIDEO! Papantonio: More Progressive Voices Needed to Counter Right Wing Talk Mike Papantonio talks with radio host Hal Ginsberg about the imbalance of political talk radio, and how the overwhelming amount of conservative talk in America has helped create a class of uninformed and misinformed Americans.
    • VIDEO! RFK, Jr.: Science Shows That Autism – Mercury Link Exists Studies show that autism rates have increased by more than 300% over the last few years, with as many as one in every 110 children now being diagnosed as autistic. But even as the rates are reaching epidemic proportions, doctors and scientists are still completely oblivious as to the cause of this disease. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. discusses the causes that the pharmaceutical industry wants us to believe are not true with Dr. Boyd Haley, Professor Emeritus at the University of Kentucky.
    • VIDEO! RFK, Jr. – The Tea Party’s Downfall The Tea Party loves to wrap themselves in the Constitution of the United States, but if you look beyond their displays of phony patriotism, you’ll see that most Tea Partiers actually want to rip the Constitution to shreds. They despise the fact that the Constitution grants citizenship status to the children of illegal immigrants, and they’ve even suggested that we limit the right to vote to only people who own property. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. talks with Michael Waldman, the executive director of the Brennan Center for Justice, who says that the Tea Party’s love for the Constitution could be the thing that finally tears them apart.

    Peter King: disgusting 9/11 cry-baby needs to get a real job or go after Wall St. terrorists by maxkeiser MK: Peter King, the guy in D.C. who is hysterically picking on Muslims this week completely misses the point about 9/11. When you aspire to rule the world with the world’s reserve currency and a multi-trillion dollar military budget (with hundreds of military bases around the globe), you are gonna get tagged every now and then. The fact that there has not been another 9/11 since 9/11 shows a FAILURE of America to compete in the world. The stats bear this out. America’s competitiveness in the world has dropped like a stone since 9/11. America is hiding under the table and relying on nickel-and-diming itself to death to pay its enormous Wall St. bailout bills. If America wants to be a world class economic power it must expect, in fact embrace the occasional 9/11. Don’t be pussies. Be competitive and take it as good as you give it. Peter King is a simpering, whiny 9/11 cry-baby type that disgusts me. Why not go after the financial terrorists on Wall St.? Because Peter King is supported by Wall St. terrorists. Peter King has been radicalized by Wall St. terrorists. Peter King is a terrorist. Come on my show and debate me on this point . . . Oh yea, you’re a coward too. Fuck you asshole.
    Roubini, someone who never managed money, has absolutely no idea what he’s saying when it comes to Gold and his track record on the subject is abysmal. by maxkeiser twitter from Nouriel Roubini @Nouriel Nouriel Roubini: "Better hedge than gold against rising food/commodity prices: Spam as you can store it for 1000 years & eat it too. Better intrinsic value." MK: Roubini’s been wrong about Gold for this entire move from $250. And he’ll continue to be wrong up through $5,000. Why? No academic likes Gold. Gold obviates the need for economics professors. Name one economics professor that likes Gold? The smartest economist around – the guy with the PhD – who’s a real smart guy is Marc Faber – but he’s a money manager (not an academic) and he likes Gold. Or how about Jim Rogers, he teaches at Colombia Business School. But he is also a money manager first, professor second. He likes Gold. Roubini (who does not manage money) thinks he sounds clever by trashing Gold. As Gold goes higher, his reputation will shrink. Too bad, nice guy with great flare. But he’s dead wrong about Gold.

    The Other Scott Horton March 11, 2011: The Other Scott Horton (no relation), international human rights lawyer, professor and contributing editor at Harper’s magazine, discusses the Quantico brig’s confiscation of Bradley Manning’s underwear and flip flops (and the rest of his clothes), supposedly to prevent his suicide; why this is punitive treatment for Manning – a model prisoner who has been cleared by the brig psychiatrist as non-suicidal; the theoretical possibility of prosecuting Manning’s jailers; how the mistreatment of prisoners in military custody could negatively effect the rights of US soldiers captured by an enemy; and Obama’s reshuffling (not elimination) of Guantanamo.
    Ahmed al-Assy March 11, 2011: Ahmed al-Assy, an Egyptian-American living in Egypt and a participant in the Tahrir Square protests, discusses the generally positive reception for Egypt’s new Prime Minister and Foreign Minister; rumors that new attacks on Coptic Christians are yet again the work of agent provocateurs; the discovery of Egypt’s wiretapping program; roaming gangs of thugs returning to Tahrir Square; the hotbeds of activism within recently reopened universities; and Ahmed’s successful journey to Gaza, where he toured the unrepaired devastation from Operation Cast Lead and delivered a symbolic bag of cement.
    Robert A. Pape March 12, 2011: Robert A. Pape, coauthor of Cutting the Fuse: The Explosion of Global Suicide Terrorism and How to Stop It, discusses the extremely high correlation of suicide terrorism with foreign military occupation; why it’s no coincidence that the surge in Afghanistan has increased violence while the drawdown in Iraq has lessened it; why those advocating no-fly zones in Libya should look at the terrible record in 1990s Iraq; the “asymmetrical” warfare, up to and including suicide attacks, that could be expected in response to a foreign military occupation of America; and the significant progress in convincing Congress of terrorism’s real root causes.
    Rep. Dennis Kucinich March 12, 2011: Rep. Dennis Kucinich discusses the runaround he’s been getting from the Department of Defense after requesting a visit with Bradley Manning; why Manning’s draconian pretrial treatment raises serious questions about the US criminal justice system and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates; and the Kucinich-Walter Jones co-sponsored resolution requiring the president to get the troops out of Afghanistan by year’s end. This recording is from the KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles broadcast of March 11th. The full archive is HERE.
