ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!WISCONSIN DAY 13 The most up-to-date reports come from John Nichols in Madison for The Nation Upwards of 125,000 March in Madison, as Activists Rally Nationwide to Back Wisconsin Workers The people-power surge came in response to what the senior member of the Wisconsin legislature, state Senator Fred Risser, D-Madison, describes as Walker’s “dictatorial” actions, and to what state Representative Cory Mason, D-Racine, describes as “tyranny.” Much more coverage below in the BTV Alerts. Robert Reich nails it. The Coming Shutdowns and Showdowns: What’s Really at Stake There’s no doubt that government budgets are in trouble. The big lie is that the reason is excessive spending. Public budgets are in trouble because revenues plummeted over the last two years of the Great Recession. They’re also in trouble because of tax giveaways to the rich. Before Wisconsin’s budget went bust, Governor Walker signed $117 million in corporate tax breaks. Wisconsin’s immediate budge shortfall is $137 million. That’s his pretext for socking it to Wisconsin’s public unions. Nationally, you remember, Republicans demanded and received an extension of the Bush tax cuts for the rich. They’ve made it clear they’re intent on extending them for the next ten years, at a cost of $900 billion. They’ve also led the way on cutting the estate tax, and on protecting Wall Street private equity and hedge-fund managers whose earnings are taxed at the capital gains rate of 15 percent. And the last thing they’d tolerate is an increase in the top marginal tax rate on the super-rich. Meanwhile, of course, more and more of the nation’s income and wealth has been concentrating at the top. In the late 1970s, the top 1 percent got 9 percent of total income. Now it gets more than 20 percent. So the problem isn’t that “we’ve” been spending too much. It’s that most Americans have been getting a steadily smaller share of the nation’s total income. AlterNet's David Rosen follows up in Notorious Pro-Corporate Group ALEC's Hidden Role in Stoking Class War in Wisconsin and the Rest of America The current anti-union campaign being implemented in Wisconsin and other states has the fingerprints of the American Legislative Executive Council (ALEC) all over it. ... If you think the battle over labor rights now being fought out in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and other states is purely a matter of coincidence or budget shortfalls, I've got a bridge to sell you. The Wisconsin showdown is a result of an economic crisis precipitated by bankers, financial speculators and intentionally inept regulators. In line with Naomi Klein's argument in The Shock Doctrine, America's Great Recession served to destabilize the nation's economy so as to facilitate the systematic expropriation of the personal and social wealth of the middle-class. The effort by Wisconsin citizens opposing Gov. Walker's anti-labor campaign is an attempt to halt this ongoing plunder. ... Republican forces are collaborating in the massive robbery of the collective wealth and precious self-esteem amassed by the America middle-class since it took shape following World War II. And ALEC is at the center of this political campaign. Its programs fashion the legislative agenda of class robbery that defines American politics today. ... Fortune reported that during the 2009 legislative session, ALEC developed 826 state bills and 115 of them were made into law. (In 2010, the GOP picked up more than 700 seats in state legislatures and now controls 25 state legislatures, up from 14.) According to Edwin Bender, executive director, National Institute on Money in State Politics, "Corporations can implement their agendas very effectively using ALEC." Tyler Durden of zerohedge reports (h/t msgeaux) Brent Passes $110 A $10 move in a week is just what the doctor ordered to destroy the last trace of surreality in the whole "economic recovery" story. At this rate we will take out all time high crude prices by mid March. As we have been saying since December, a rapid move in oil will undo years of carefully planned propaganda and money printing. Yet the weakness that "nobody could have possibly predicted" is just as we had forecast: global and US weakness in late February/March, market swoons in March/April (as per DeMark's repeat appearance), Fed releases early indications of QE3 in May. In the meantime, we also get a war as a bonus to boost the US military-defense industrial complex. Pretty much a rerun of the first great depression to the dot. AND Half Of Libyan Oil Production, Or 800,000 Barrels, Now Offline Traders added that Libya’s national oil company had declared force majeure – a legal clause allowing it to default on contracted deliveries – on contracts to export oil products. In addition, most of the country’s ports remain closed.Lastly, expectations that OPEC can just step in and fill the void are largely unfounded, not in the least since peak OPEC output is likely vastly exaggerated. "Without information on the scale and duration of any disruption, Opec cannot accurately gauge how much additional crude to produce. A release stocks by the IEA may meet market needs more closely," Mr Eagles, former head of oil markets at the IEA, said in a note to clients. Look for Brent to continue on its path to $120 over the next week, bringing it ever closer to its all time highs just over $140. Make that $140 if the US does, as some speculate, invade the region to bring "peace and stability" to the region. Press TV has an interview with Danny Schecter of Mediachannel.org: 'Foreign military intervention in Libya' SCHECTER: The western countries are meeting to discuss various approaches and options, including military options. Fidel Castro has warned over possible military intervention. The US president's former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who was just elected mayor of Chicago, is famous for having said that "good crisis is a terrible thing to waste." And there is an opportunity here that foreign western powers like NATO and United States to intervene eligibly on humanitarian basis, but actually to try to cease the oil or to get control of the oil in Libya. The BTV Crew recommends Tomgram: Engelhardt, Washington's Echo Chamber , Matt Stoller: The Liquidation of Society versus the Global Labor Revival, Rothschilds Stage Revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt To Kill Islamic Banks In Emerging North African Markets and Paul Krugman's Shock Doctrine, U.S.A. The story of the privatization-obsessed Coalition Provisional Authority was the centerpiece of Naomi Klein’s best-selling book "The Shock Doctrine" which argued that it was part of a broader pattern. From Chile in the 1970s onward, she suggested, right-wing ideologues have exploited crises to push through an agenda that has nothing to do with resolving those crises, and everything to do with imposing their vision of a harsher, more unequal, less democratic society. Which brings us to Wisconsin 2011, where the shock doctrine is on full display.In recent weeks, Madison has been the scene of large demonstrations against the governor’s budget bill, which would deny collective-bargaining rights to public-sector workers. Gov. Scott Walker claims that he needs to pass his bill to deal with the state’s fiscal problems. But his attack on unions has nothing to do with the budget. In fact, those unions have already indicated their willingness to make substantial financial concessions — an offer the governor has rejected. What’s happening in Wisconsin is, instead, a power grab — an attempt to exploit the fiscal crisis to destroy the last major counterweight to the political power of corporations and the wealthy. And the power grab goes beyond union-busting. The bill in question is 144 pages long, and there are some extraordinary things hidden deep inside Be sure to watch Max Keiser Report #124 with Glenn Greenwald and the Laurence Lessig video below along with MATT TAIBBI on DN! and an interview with Rolling Stone's MICHAEL HASTINGS at AntiWar.com discussing his latest article Another Runaway General: Army Deploys Psy-Ops on U.S. Senators.

BRAD FRIEDMAN & VELVET REVOLUTION!Investigate Chamber Of Commerce Spying On Reporters And NGOs I call on Congress and the Department of Justice to investigate the Chamber of Commerce law firm, Hunton & Williams, for conspiring with three private security firms to create a multimillion dollar intelligence operation to destroy www.StopTheChamber.com, Velvet Revolution and it staff, including journalist Brad Friedman, along with SEIU, reporter Glenn Greenwald, Change to Win and ChamberWatch. This planned attack included planting false documents, creating disinformation, spying on the group's operation, cyberstalking, and defamation. It is unconstitutional and undemocratic for firms acting on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce to engage in domestic spying with the intent to destroy reporters and non profit organizations. Congress should hold hearings to get to the bottom of this, and the Department of Justice should prosecute all those involved. Sign petition now!

• VIDEO! Papantonio: Democrats Should Abandon The South When Lyndon Johnson signed the civil rights Act into law, he made the comment that he just cost the Democrats the South for a generation. Little did he know that Democrats would still be struggling in the South more than 50 years later. So that raises the question about what move the Democrats make now – Do we abandon the South or do we continue to spend time and money on people who couldn’t care less about democratic policies, even though they depend on them more than the rest of the country. Mike Papantonio hopes to answer those questions with Mark Schmitt, executive editor of the American Prospect magazine.
• VIDEO! Papantonio: The Koch Brothers Fuel Fascism Mike Papantonio and Ed Schultz discuss the Koch Brothers’ dirty money in US politics. Including their relationship with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

• Arabian revolutions and busted narratives by maxkeiser MK: Some things that become clear since the revolt in Tunisia. Peaceful revolutions, in the style of Gandhi, are possible and practical ways of overthrowing corrupt tyrants today. America’s narrative about Islam and Muslims – of an inherently violent culture – is wrong and racist (yes, Bill Maher you are a racist). Arabs that have revolted against their occupying dictators have succeeded where the attempts at democracy and dignity in Wisconsin have so far failed. America’s accepted wisdom and narrative about Iran is equally wrong. Here in Lebanon, reading all the local press, I notice that not a single article or comment by anyone in the entire region has appeared that is lumping Iran in with the monarchs and dictatorships of the countries now undergoing regime change. America’s view of the region is written by Israel. Israel doesn’t like Iran because it has been a successful Muslim democracy and continues to be (by current U.S. standards when comparing to Mullah Obama and America’s evangelical neo-liberal theocracy) – thus cutting into their narrative about the need to commit holocaust in Palestine – to make room to build more condos – in the name of some schmuck they choose to call God. Speaking of schmucks, Rahm Emmanuel become mayor of Chicago on Tuesday, Barack Obama awarded a 35 billion dollar contract to Chicago’s Boeing Corp. on Thursday. Boeing makes weapons of mass destruction – to kill who? Enemies according to Israel. America is running out of fake enemies abroad. Living in the U.S. is not safe. Living in Chicago is really not safe. Anyone care to bet that the next 9/11 goes down in Chicago? How does President Rahm Emmanuel sound.
