Since much of that overall spending is mandatory, military spending — all of which is discretionary — accounts for over 50% of discretionary government spending. Yet it’s absolutely forbidden to even contemplate reducing it as a means of reducing our debt or deficit. To the contrary, Obama ran on a platform of increasing military spending, and that is one of the few pledges he is faithfully and enthusiastically filling (while violating his pledge not to use deceitful budgetary tricks to fund our wars)

“The enormous damage done to the U.S. economy by jobs offshoring, work visas, and financial deregulation cannot be offset by government stimulus plans, which expand the debt burdens that are crushing Americans. The federal government’s massive budget deficits and the Federal Reserve’s easy monetary policy are setting the stage for an inflationary depression to follow a deflationary depression.”

The election of Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate by Democratic voters in Massachusetts sends President Obama a message. Voters perceive that Obama’s administration has morphed into a Bush-Cheney government. Obama has reneged on every promise he made, from ending wars, to closing Gitmo, to providing health care for Americans, to curtailing the domestic police state, to putting the interests of dispossessed Americans ahead of the interests of the rich banksters who robbed Americans of their homes and pensions.

General Stanley McChrystal’s cautiously worded support for a negotiated settlement with the Taliban leadership is only the first public signal of a policy decision by the Barack Obama administration to support a political settlement between the Karzai regime and the Taliban, an official of the McChrystal’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) command has revealed in an interview with Inter Press Service (IPS).

At the beginning of 2010, it is a time to reflect not just on the economic disintegration caused by the still ongoing global financial crisis, but to also see the beginnings of new institutional frameworks rising from the rubble.
The implementation of the China-ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) free-trade pact, besides the obvious wins for both sides, will prove to be a vehicle for a large transformation of the currency landscape in East Asia, accelerating the prevalence of the yuan as a regionally accepted currency alongside local currencies and the US dollar.

In an extraordinary interview timed for the London Conference, the commander of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, said: “As a soldier, my personal feeling is that there’s been enough fighting.”
“After eight years of war, it’s clear that domestically many [Western] political leaders are having to answer questions, this [war] has gone on a long time and it’s no better than it was in 2004, so why are we maintaining it, will it get better?” he told the Financial Times on Monday.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s attention is likely to be divided as hosts long-awaited international deliberations in London on the war in Afghanistan on Thursday. To be or not to be in the British capital was the question as Brown rushed to Belfast on Monday to “talk through the night” to save the Ulster power-sharing process from collapse.

While the deployment of 10000 US troops in Haiti has been qualified by a number of Latin American political leaders as an invasion and occupation under the guise of a humanitarian relief operation, the arrival of the USS Bataan in Haiti raises even more questions.

In the current showdown between Google and the Chinese Government, the media is portraying Google as the champion of Internet freedom upholding the human rights of the Chinese people. This is sheer hypocrisy considering that Google is part of a cartel of Internet companies colluding with the US intelligence apparatus, including in foreign government destabilization. Is it any wonder that the Chinese authorities should perceive Google as a conduit for black propaganda? However, the current brawl is only part of a much broader geopolitical and economic tug-of-war percolating between the two countries, as Tarpley expounds in this article.

The controversy that followed the publication on our website of an article entertaining the possibility that the earthquake in Haiti was caused artificially, calls for clarification. Yes, seismic weapons do exist and the United States, among others, have them. Yes, the U.S. military forces were pre-positionned to be deployed to the island. These facts are not conclusive in themselves but they certainly warrant further scrutiny.
