Grillismo : Yet another right-wing cult coming from Italy | #Wu-Ming Foundation
http://www.wumingfoundation.com/english/wumingblog/?p=1950

Several Left-wing and progressive commentators tend to look with a certain sympathy to the Five Star Movement. They heard that even Dario Fo, a famously leftist Nobel Prize Winner, endorsed Grillo during the campaign. They think that Grillo’s fiery, pied-piperesque speeches are just a bit of theatre – he used to be a comedian after all.
Indeed, news from Italy are baffling as usual, but in the end, many have the impression that the #5SM is a populist movement oscillating between the progressive and radical quarters of the political spectrum. A movement having features in common with other anti-austerity movements and mobilisations across southern Europe (Portugal, Greece, Spain, Slovenia).
People who make that assumption should – literally – know better.
Trouble is, many Italians should know better too.

Simone Di Stefano: «Are you an antifascist?»
#Beppe-Grillo: «This question doesn’t concern me. 5SM is an ecumenical movement.»
(Conversation between Grillo and one of the top leaders of neofascist party CasaPound, 11 January 2013 )

L’emploi des femmes en Europe

"Qu’en est-il de l’emploi féminin dans les différents pays européens et quelles sont les évolutions récentes ? En insistant sur la diversité des situations européennes, cet essai vise à déterminer les politiques qui semblent les plus favorables à l’emploi des femmes dans une perspective de « cycle de vie », c’est-à-dire en tenant compte de la phase spécifique de l’éventuelle naissance et de l’éducation de très jeunes d’enfants."

• Sommes-nous en 1861 ? • Comment un mouvement parti d’un individu le 7 novembre embrase l’Amérique underground et “dissidente”, mouvement totalement ignoré de la presse-Système. • Les pétitions pour la sécession touchent les 50 États et dépassent le million de signatures. • Finalement, ce n’est pas une querelle politique (1861), c’est une révolte postmoderne, plus grave que 1776. • La puissance psychologique de ce mouvement est bien là, terrible...

Ron Paul’s Last Speech to Congress : 30+ Strangely Ordered Questions - Conor Friedersdorf - The Atlantic
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/11/ron-pauls-last-speech-to-congress-30-strangely-ordered-questions/265263

– Why are sick people who use medical marijuana put in prison?
– Why does the federal government restrict the drinking of raw milk?
– Why can’t Americans manufacturer rope and other products from hemp?
– Why are Americans not allowed to use gold and silver as legal tender as mandated by the Constitution?
– Why is Germany concerned enough to consider repatriating their gold held by the FED for her in New York? Is it that the trust in the U.S. and dollar supremacy beginning to wane?
– Why do our political leaders believe it’s unnecessary to thoroughly audit our own gold?
– Why can’t Americans decide which type of light bulbs they can buy?
– Why is the TSA permitted to abuse the rights of any American traveling by air?
– Why should there be mandatory sentences—even up to life for crimes without victims—as our drug laws require?
– Why have we allowed the federal government to regulate commodes in our homes?
– Why is it political suicide for anyone to criticize AIPAC ?
– Why haven’t we given up on the drug war since it’s an obvious failure and violates the people’s rights? Has nobody noticed that the authorities can’t even keep drugs out of the prisons? How can making our entire society a prison solve the problem?
– Why do we sacrifice so much getting needlessly involved in border disputes and civil strife around the world and ignore the root cause of the most deadly border in the world-the one between Mexico and the US?
– Why does Congress willingly give up its prerogatives to the Executive Branch?
– Why does changing the party in power never change policy? Could it be that the views of both parties are essentially the same?
– Why did the big banks, the large corporations, and foreign banks and foreign central banks get bailed out in 2008 and the middle class lost their jobs and their homes?
– Why do so many in the government and the federal officials believe that creating money out of thin air creates wealth?
– Why do so many accept the deeply flawed principle that government bureaucrats and politicians can protect us from ourselves without totally destroying the principle of liberty?
– Why can’t people understand that war always destroys wealth and liberty?
– Why is there so little concern for the Executive Order that gives the President authority to establish a “kill list,” including American citizens, of those targeted for assassination?
– Why is patriotism thought to be blind loyalty to the government and the politicians who run it, rather than loyalty to the principles of liberty and support for the people? Real patriotism is a willingness to challenge the government when it’s wrong.
– Why is it is claimed that if people won’t or can’t take care of their own needs, that people in government can do it for them?
– Why did we ever give the government a safe haven for initiating violence against the people?
– Why do some members defend free markets, but not civil liberties?
– Why do some members defend civil liberties but not free markets? Aren’t they the same?
– Why don’t more defend both economic liberty and personal liberty?
– Why are there not more individuals who seek to intellectually influence others to bring about positive changes than those who seek power to force others to obey their commands?
– Why does the use of religion to support a social gospel and preemptive wars, both of which requires authoritarians to use violence, or the threat of violence, go unchallenged? Aggression and forced redistribution of wealth has nothing to do with the teachings of the world’s great religions.
– Why do we allow the government and the Federal Reserve to disseminate false information dealing with both economic and foreign policy?
– Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority?
– Why should anyone be surprised that Congress has no credibility, since there’s such a disconnect between what politicians say and what they do?

L’égalité entre hommes et femmes fait défaut dans de nombreux autres domaines de la vie publique. Malgré la Loi sur l’égalité des salaires (Equal Pay Act) de 1963 [9] et la loi Lilly Ledbetter [10] – sans oublier que cette dernière n’interdit pas en soi la discrimination salariale, mais donne simplement plus de temps aux femmes pour poursuivre en justice leurs employeurs en cas de discrimination salariale – les femmes ne se voient toujours pas attribuer le même salaire que les hommes pour le même travail. En moyenne, les femmes ne gagnent que 77% de ce que gagnent les hommes. Le célèbre « plafond de verre » (le fait de préférer un homme à une femme ayant les mêmes diplômes dans l’attribution de postes décisionnaires de haut niveau) et aussi le « mur de verre » (le fait de préférer un homme à une femme ayant les mêmes diplômes lors d’un changement de poste) restent la norme à la fois dans le secteur privé et dans le monde politique [11]. Comme l’a exprimé la première femme Directeur de Planification de la politique pour le Département d’État dans son article fort controversé et souvent dénoncé, publié en juillet 2012 dans The Atlantic : « Il est temps d’arrêter de se leurrer (...) les femmes qui ont réussi à être à la fois des mères et des professionnelles de haut niveau sont soit surhumaines, soit riches, soit travaillent à leur compte [12] ».

BREAKING NEWS - Obama ORDERS limited AIR STRIKES against SYRIA!!!! HERE WE GO!!!

S President Barack Obama has ordered the US Navy and Air Force to accelerate preparations for a limited air offensive against the Assad regime and the imposition of no-fly zones over Syria,DEBKAfile reports. Their mission will be to knock out Assad’s central regime and military command centers so as to shake regime stability and restrict Syrian army and air force activity for subduing rebel action and wreaking violence on civilian populations.
DEBKAfile’s sources disclose that the US President decided on this step after hearing Russian officials stating repeatedly that “Moscow would support the departure of President Bashar al-Assad if Syrians agreed to it.” This position was interpreted as opening up two paths of action:

House Passes Stealth Legislation – Philip Giraldi
http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2012/05/16/house-passes-stealth-legislation

It is interesting to note what exactly the bill pledges the American people to do on behalf of Israel. It obligates the United States to veto resolutions critical of Israel, to provide such military support “as is necessary,” to pay for the building of an anti-missile system, to provide advanced “defense” equipment (including refueling tankers, which are offensive), to give Israel special munitions (i.e., bunker-busters, which are also offensive), to forward deploy more U.S. military equipment to Israel, to offer the Israeli air force more training and facilities in the U.S., to increase security- and advanced-technology-program cooperation, and to extend loan guarantees and expand intelligence-sharing (including highly sensitive satellite imagery). Actually, there’s even more included, and I may have missed the kitchen sink. But the objective is to provide Israel with the resources to attack Iran, if it chooses to do so, while tying the U.S. and Israel so closely together that whatever Benjamin Netanyahu does, the U.S. “will always be there,” as our president has so aptly put it.

But the scariest bit of the bill is its call for “an expanded role for Israel within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), including an enhanced presence at NATO headquarters and exercises.” If Israel becomes part of NATO, which is clearly Congress’s intent, the U.S. and other members will be obligated to come to the aid of a nation that is expanding its borders and is currently engaged in hostilities with three of its neighbors. Israel has also initiated a series of regional wars. Whether NATO membership for Israel would benefit anyone is questionable, but it is something the neocons have been seeking for years, to turn Israel’s wars into a new crusade against the Muslim world.

Ron Paul’s Racism Isn’t the Worst Thing About Him | Crooks and Liars
http://crooksandliars.com/kenneth-quinnell/ron-pauls-racism-isnt-worst-thing

There are two important conversations going on about Ron Paul right now. The first is whether or not racist comments that came from old issues of the Ron Paul Report show that Paul is or was racist (they do). The other conversation is about whether or not progressives should support Paul because of his stances on the war, civil liberties and economic issues. The second conversation is much more important. Whether or not Paul is a racist (and I believe he is, as well as a bigot of various other types), that’s not nearly as important as his stances on a myriad of other issues. Obviously, racism should automatically disqualify a candidate from serving in any office, much less president, but if he were elected, his views on race would have little impact on policy, outside of potential Supreme Court nominations. He didn’t like the Civil Rights Act and opposes hate crimes legislation, but, as president, his alleged bigotry would not have a major impact on legislation, since most laws related to these issues pass with veto-proof majorities.

Anyone considering Paul as a candidate should certainly take into account his views on race, gender and the LGBT community — all of which are atrocious — but they should also take into account the vast array of other issues in which he is not only incredibly wrong, but where his policy prescriptions would make things worse. Some Occupy Wall Street supporters are Paul supporters, but Paul is very clearly aligned with the 1 percent. He says some things that sound good, but his voting record on issues related to corporations and the rest of us is bad. For instance, his lifetime voting record on:
Aid to Less Advantaged People, at Home & Abroad is 13.40 percent progressive
Corporate Subsidies 31.18 percent
Education, Humanities, & the Arts 13.19 percent
Environment 11.35 percent
Fair Taxation 9.01 percent
Government Checks on Corporate Power 15.16 percent
Health Care 12.62 percent
Housing 6.10 percent
Labor Rights 13.51 percent
Making Government Work for Everyone, Not Just the Rich or Powerful 15.88 percent

Logical Errors and Propaganda in Republican Debate on the Middle East

He has to do this because Iran is far away from the US, is militarily weak, and poses no threat to the American mainland. By inventing radical Muslim fundamentalist Mexicans with a nuclear bomb miraculously supplied by an Iran that doesn’t have one, Romney brings a sense of danger to an American audience.

CENSORED NEWS: Anons hack white supremacist network
http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2012/02/anons-hack-white-supremacist-network.html

Fellow anons: we are pleased to bring you the dismantling of a major US-based
white supremacist network known as the “American Third Position”(A3P). These
racist losers have chapters across the US, operate several white power websites,
forums and online stores, and are even running a candidate in the 2012
elections. Although they try hard to maintain a professional public image to
camouflage their vile racism, we’re now airing all their dirty laundry all over
the internet. Contained in this major dump are several thousand private forum
messages, personal emails, internal organization notes, names, phone numbers,
home addresses and other information on all of their members and supporters.
It’s time for these cowardly suit and tie white supremacists to sleep with one
eye open. Scared much?

In addition to finding the usual racist rants and interactions with other white
power groups, we also found a disturbingly high amount of members who are also
involved in campaigning for Ron Paul. According to these messages, Ron Paul has
regularly met with many A3P members, even engaging in conference calls with
their board of directors. Ron Paul’s racist politics and
affiliations are already well known, being viciously anti-immigrant,
anti-abortion and against gay marriage — not to mention having authored the
racist “Ron Paul Papers” and receiving financial support from other white power
groups (pictured with Don Black from stormfront.org). Hard to believe Ron Paul
draws some support from the left and the occupation movements, especially now
that it is confirmed Ron Paul hangs out with straight up racist hate groups.

[Etats-Unis] Vermin Supreme, un candidat bien sympathique | groupe Pavillon Noir
https://fa86.noblogs.org/?p=3042

Vous avez sûrement entendu parler de la victoire de Mitt Romney dans la primaire républicaine du New Hampshire, mardi 10 janvier : l’ancien gouverneur du Massachusetts, vainqueur au finish dans l’Iowa, l’a cette fois-ci emporté plus largement avec environ 39% des voix, contre 23% pour Ron Paul, 17% pour Jon Huntsman et 9% pour Newt Gingrich et Rick Santorum.

Mais il y avait une autre primaire dans le même Etat, du côté des démocrates. Si pratiquement personne n’en parle, c’est parce que personne ne doute que Barack Obama sera le candidat du parti à l’âne, et il a effectivement remporté ce scrutin avec 82% des voix, selon les chiffres de l’Associated Press.

Derrière lui, 10% des voix se sont portées sur ce qu’on appelle des write-in candidates, des personnes qui n’étaient pas officiellement candidates mais dont les électeurs ont inscrit les noms. On retrouve ensuite treize candidats entre 0% et 2% des voix, dont quelques intéressants personnages tels Craig Freis, dont le nom est écrit sur les bulletins de vote Craig « Tax Freeze » Freis (Craig « Gelons les impôts » Freis).

Mais le candidat qui a attiré le plus l’attention des médias s’appelle Vermin Supreme et a recueilli autour de 1%, soit plus de 800 voix. Avec sa barbe grise de gourou et sa botte en guise de chapeau sur la tête, celui qui se surnomme un « fasciste amical » et veut faire de l’Amérique « une mer de sourires éclatants » a même eu droit à son portrait dans le magazine Time et sur le site de la chaîne CNBC.

Santorum warns of “Eurabia,” issues call to “evangelize and eradicate” Muslims | Al Akhbar English
http://english.al-akhbar.com/blogs/gadfly/santorum-warns-eurabia-issues-call-evangelize-and-eradicate-musli

The disturbing content of Paul’s newsletters was a worthy campaign outrage, and one he should have been called to account for, but why did it gain mainstream traction when the reactionary views of the other candidates stayed under the radar? One reason is that Paul threatened the Republican establishment by attacking America’s neo-imperial foreign policy and demanding an end to the US-Israel special relationship.

Those who pushed the newsletters story the hardest were neoconservatives terrified by the prospect of Paul edging into the mainstream with his call for a total cut-off of US aid to Israel. In fact, the history of the newsletters was introduced to the American public back in early 2008 by Jamie Kirchick, a card-carrying neocon who has said that Muslims “act like savages” and once wrote that I possessed “a visceral hatred of my Jewish heritage.”

Ron Paul’s Iowa State Director Dedicated His Career to Fighting ’Evil’ Gay Rights | Right Wing Watch

As Iowa State Director for the Ron Paul presidential campaign Mike Heath claims to have visited close to three hundred houses of worship on Paul’s behalf, more evidence of Heath’s rabidly anti-gay background while a Religious Right activist in Maine is coming to light. Before Maine’s marriage equality law was repealed, Heath contended that the legalization of same-sex marriage led to bad weather because “our elected officials overturned a law of nature, and in its place paid honor to evil and unnatural practices,” and Warren Throckmorton, who first uncovered that Paul was boasting about an endorsement from a pastor who advocates for the death penalty for gays and lesbians, notes that Heath was also the Board Chairman of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, one of the most fringe and virulently anti-gay groups in the country.

In Maine, Heath urged the legislature to re-criminalize homosexuality, saying it would “be prudent to reinstate Maine’s anti-sodomy law,” and worked to overturn the state’s marriage equality law, declaring, “Homosexuality has absolutely nothing to do with marriage. Homosexuality is a sickness.”
