Killing program
by Ted Rudow III, MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Thursday Feb 28th, 2013
Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs revealed over the weekend he was initially instructed to deny the existence of the Obama administration’s targeted killing program overseas. Even though the administration has since backed down from that stance, it continues to stonewall members of Congress on releasing the Justice Department memos explaining the program’s legal rationale.
The administration’s position was initially that they couldn’t even acknowledge that there was in fact a targeted killing program. Now their position has shifted slightly, and they’re saying that they can’t acknowledge that the CIA has a role in the targeted killing program.
But that kind of argument is really—should be—beneath our—beneath our system. But it’s certainly true that the Obama administration has continued many of the Bush administration’s most controversial and problematic national security policies and, in some instances, expanded those policies.
"We’re talking about someone eating at a cafe in Boston or in New York, and a Hellfire missile comes raining in on them. There should be an easy answer from the administration on this. They should say, "Absolutely no, we will not kill Americans in America without an accusation, a trial and a jury."

Cut for the poor

Cut for the poor
by Ted Rudow III, MA ( Tedr77 [at] aol.com )
Saturday Feb 23rd, 2013
The word of the month in Washington is “sequestration,” or the automatic $85 billion in spending cuts slated to take effect on March 1 unless Congress reaches a deal. What will those cuts mean in real life for the poor, unemployed, sick and children? The economic group Macroeconomic Advisers predicted that the sequester will slow economic growth by more than half a percentage point and result in the loss of 700,000 jobs.
Critical areas are as follows: 125,000 people will lose Section 8 housing, which is critical housing support for the working poor, 100,000 people who are homeless will not receive the support that they need without a place to go and there won’t be 450,000 AIDS tests. About 500,000 vaccines won’t be manufactured, a million people won’t be able to access community health centers and unemployment insurance for 4 million long-term unemployed will be cut by 10 percent. In terms of education, 70,000 kids won’t have access to Head Start; another 30,000 in terms of child-care assistance.
The reality is that the U.S. government funds its level of activities at the same level of Mexico. The United States has the lowest level of taxation of any developed country in the world. And what that means is that we are underinvesting in infrastructure, we’re underinvesting in education and we’re underinvesting in the key things that fuel economic growth.

Letter: Sad litany
February 19, 2013, 05:00 AM Letter
Editor,
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 in an attempt to prop up a Communist regime beset by civil war. Afghan rebels fought the Soviets to a standstill, wearing them out much in the same way that Vietnamese forces wore out U.S. forces in Vietnam. More than 2 million Afghans were left dead in a war that ultimately saw the ouster from power of the communists, though war continues in Afghanistan to this day.
After more than 33 years of war and chaos, Afghanistan is really a mess. Despite all the American aid and promises to rebuild the country, it’s a wreck. America’s trying to remake the world in its own image with its own form of government, but different peoples and nations simply need different forms of government. War is rarely necessary and never glorious. That’s one thing Americans should have learned from their experiences in Vietnam, and from seeing the daily horror and carnage of that war televised in their living rooms every night.
What a sad litany of carnage, killing, destruction and woe. Such is the history of the supposedly “enlightened” 20th century.

Letter: Life and death
February 16, 2013, 05:00 AM
Editor,
During his confirmation hearing, President Obama's nominee for CIA director, John Brennan, forcefully defended the president's counterterrorism policies, including the increased use of armed drones and targeted killings of American citizens. He also refused to say that waterboarding was a form of torture, and he admitted that he did not try to stop waterboarding while he was a top CIA official under President George W. Bush.
Four years ago, Brennan was a rumored pick for the CIA job when Obama was first elected, but he was forced to withdraw from consideration amid protests over his public support of the CIA's policies regarding so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques."
Ron Wyden asked him about the extent of the CIA's lethal authority against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil and abroad. President Obama's Brennan — hit man or assassination czar? This guy has been at the center of a secret process in which the White House decides who lives and who dies around the world every day, and yet the conversation that took place was as though they were, you know, sort of talking about whether or not they're going to add a wing onto a school in Idaho or something. They were talking about life-and-death issues for people who, not only are U.S. citizens, but also live around the world.

Free and open to all
Complete details
Sign the petition to Congress
Background: According to numerous news reports, Congress will let the draconian “sequestration” budget cuts go into effect on March 1. This would be a disaster for working families, the poor and for our country. ( Good background article here.)
The “austerity bomb” – as many analysts have described it – would force immediate and calamitous cuts to crucial programs like education, early childhood health, public safety, and scientific research. The ripple effects of these budget cuts will be felt throughout the economy, especially by middle- and working-class folks.
Instead of cutting vital programs “across the board” – as sequestration envisions – we should be cutting Pentagon pork, ending subsidies to Big Oil and other massive corporations, and closing tax loopholes that benefit only the wealthy and large corporations.
As I phone up to get my support!
The days are coming, that the rich not shine!!!
Action: Please sign and share the petition to Congress: Don't Drop the Austerity Bomb!. Signatures will be delivered to Peninsula & South Bay Members of Congress and to California's Senators.

God, women and wars
The Pentagon has officially removed the long-standing military ban on women in combat. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta formally announced the \
In being officially allowed to serve in combat roles, women will be afforded opportunities for medals of recognition as well as for advancement to positions they have been unable to pursue.
It illustrates the blatantly hypocritical policies of the U.S. and its allies. I don't believe in war. I don't believe in killing my fellow man. Violence breeds violence, and he or she who lives by the sword shall die by the sword. The true God is a good God who is kind and loving, concerned. God hates war and its rich perpetrators. In some ways, I'm a pacifist, because I believe that God can settle all wars.

God, women and wars
Dear Editor: The Pentagon has officially removed the long-standing military ban on women in combat. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta formally announced the move Jan. 24 in Washington.
In being officially allowed to serve in combat roles, women will be afforded opportunities for medals of recognition as well as for advancement to positions they have been unable to pursue.
It illustrates the blatantly hypocritical policies of the U.S. and its allies. I don't believe in war. I don't believe in killing my fellow man. Violence breeds violence, and he or she who lives by the sword shall die by the sword. The true God is a good God who is kind and loving, concerned. God hates war and its rich perpetrators. In some ways, I'm a pacifist, because I believe that God can settle all wars.
