An excellent article by Ellen Brown, well worth reading in full:
How America Became an Oligarchy
The stages of the capture of democracy by big money are traced in a paper called “The Collapse of Democratic Nation States” by theologian and environmentalist Dr. John Cobb. Going back several centuries, he points to the rise of private banking, which usurped the power to create money from governments:
The influence of money was greatly enhanced by the emergence of private banking. The banks are able to create money and so to lend amounts far in excess of their actual wealth. This control of money-creation . . . has given banks overwhelming control over human affairs. In the United States, Wall Street makes most of the truly important decisions that are directly attributed to Washington.
Today the vast majority of the money supply in Western countries is created by private bankers. That tradition goes back to the 17th century, when the privately-owned Bank of England, the mother of all central banks, negotiated the right to print England’s money after Parliament stripped that power from the Crown. When King William needed money to fight a war, he had to borrow. The government as borrower then became servant of the lender. ...
The Populist movement of the 1890s represented the last serious challenge to the bankers’ monopoly over the right to create the nation’s money. According to monetary historian Murray Rothbard, politics after the turn of the century became a struggle between two competing banking giants, the Morgans and the Rockefellers. The parties sometimes changed hands, but the puppeteers pulling the strings were always one of these two big-money players.
In All the Presidents’ Bankers, Nomi Prins names six banking giants and associated banking families that have dominated politics for over a century. No popular third party candidates have a real chance of prevailing, because they have to compete with two entrenched parties funded by these massively powerful Wall Street banks.
How Big Money Is Buying Off Criticism of Big Money
Not long ago I was asked to speak to a religious congregation about widening inequality. Shortly before I began, the head of the congregation asked that I not advocate raising taxes on the wealthy.
He said he didn’t want to antagonize certain wealthy congregants on whose generosity the congregation depended.
I had a similar exchange last year with the president of a small college who had invited me to give a lecture that his board of trustees would be attending. “I’d appreciate it if you didn’t criticize Wall Street,” he said, explaining that several of the trustees were investment bankers. ...
“There’s really no choice,” a university dean told me. “We’ve got to go where the money is.”
And more than at any time since the Gilded Age of the late nineteenth century, the money is now in the pockets of big corporations and the super wealthy.
So the presidents of universities, congregations, and think tanks, other nonprofits are now kissing wealthy posteriors as never before.
But that money often comes with strings.
When Comcast, for example, finances a nonprofit like the International Center for Law and Economics, the Center supports Comcast’s proposed merger with Time Warner.
When the Charles Koch Foundation pledges $1.5 million to Florida State University’s economics department, it stipulates that a Koch-appointed advisory committee will select professors and undertake annual evaluations.
The Koch brothers now fund 350 programs at over 250 colleges and universities across America. You can bet that funding doesn’t underwrite research on inequality and environmental justice.
David Koch’s $23 million of donations to public television earned him positions on the boards of two prominent public-broadcasting stations. It also guaranteed that a documentary critical of the Kochs didn’t air. ...
Our democracy is directly threatened when the rich buy off politicians.
But no less dangerous is the quieter and more insidious buy-off of institutions democracy depends on to research, investigate, expose, and mobilize action against what is occurring.
"From Bad to Worse": Hundreds Dead & 100,000 Displaced as Saudi Led-Strikes Push Yemen to the Brink
US-backed airstrikes on Yemen kill civilians – and hopes for peace
You can’t bomb a country into existence, however much America seems determined to try.
In the last week, 164 Yemeni civilians have lost their lives in the Saudi bombardment of my country. In media reports – full of geopolitical talk of “proxy wars” and “regional interests” – the names of the dead are absent. As always, it is ordinary Yemeni families who are left grieving, and forgotten.
The US has a central role in all of this. As US officials told the Wall Street Journal, “American military planners are using live intelligence feeds from surveillance flights over Yemen to help Saudi Arabia decide what and where to bomb”.
Investigating US drone strikes on my country, I have seen the aftermath of aerial bombardment time and time again. The weeping father; the young girl unable to walk from shrapnel wounds; the mother, mute from shock. I try to record what has taken place; most of them just ask in return what my questions will do to bring back their loved ones. The few that find words express powerlessness and confusion as to why the might of a distant US military has been visited on their simple lives. ...
The blanket claims by the American government that these attacks were clinically picking off terrorists were patently untrue: I went to the attack sites, and met the bereaved relatives of builders, children, hitchhikers. ...
Even last week, as Saudi warplanes were refuelling to fly more sorties, anti-aircraft guns were barking over the capital, and President Hadi was fleeing the country, the White House Press Secretary was still trying to defend the so-called “Yemen model” of counterterrorism that was founded on these drone attacks. I listened to his words with incredulity, that he could so blindly ignore the evidence of his own eyes.
Corpses Pile Up in the Streets of Aden as Yemen’s Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
Houthi rebel forces and their allies are continuing to advance on Aden, a coastal city in southern Yemen, with heavy gun battles and shelling Monday creating a humanitarian crisis that is deepening by the day.
According to the United Nations, at least 500 people — including 62 children — have been killed and 1,700 injured in fighting across Yemen since a Saudi-led coalition began launching airstrikes in the country 12 days ago. ...
"There are piles of corpses rotting in the streets in some districts, it's impossible to collect and bury them, so no one can know the number of dead," Bashraheel Bashraheel, a journalist for Yemeni newspaper Al-Ayyam, said by telephone from Aden.
Bashraheel described the situation inside the besieged city — now being bombarded from land, sea, and air — as "dire," with hospitals "full three times their capacity." Desperate for food and water, residents have resorted to drinking "from dirty buckets in old wells," he said. Electricity has reportedly been down for several days in large swathes of the city. ...
The rebels and Hadi loyalists, also known as "Popular Committees," have played a deadly game of cat and mouse across the city. The Saudi-led coalition, which supports Hadi, has launched near-nightly airstrikes on Houthi positions and made weapons drops to the loyalist forces.
Obama’s Fateful Indecision
The foreign policy quandary facing President Barack Obama is that America’s traditional allies in the Middle East – Israel and Saudi Arabia – along with Official Washington’s powerful neocons have effectively sided with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State out of a belief that Iran represents a greater threat to Israeli and Saudi interests.
But what that means for U.S. interests is potentially catastrophic. If the Islamic State continues its penetration toward Damascus in league with Al-Qaeda’s Nusra Front and topples the Syrian government, the resulting slaughter of Christians, Shiites and other religious minorities – as well as the risk of a major new terrorist base in the heart of the Middle East – could force the United States into a hopeless new war that could drain the U.S. Treasury and drive the nation into a chaotic and dangerous decline. ....
Increasingly, the choice facing Obama is whether to protect the old alliances with Israel and Saudi Arabia – and risk victories by Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State – or expand on the diplomatic opening from the framework agreement on Iran’s nuclear program to side with Shiite forces as the primary bulwark against Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. ...
The problem with Obama has been that – although he himself may be a “closet realist” willing to work with adversarial countries like Iran and Russia – he has not consistently challenged the neocons and their junior partners, the liberal interventionists. The liberals are particularly susceptible to propaganda campaigns involving non-governmental organizations that claim to promote “human rights” or “democracy” but have their salaries paid by the congressionally financed and neocon-run National Endowment for Democracy or by self-interested billionaires like financier George Soros. ...
Whether one likes it or not, the only real force that can stop an Al-Qaeda or Islamic State victory is the Syrian army and the Assad regime. But Obama chose to play the game of demanding that “Assad must go” – to appease the neocons and liberal interventionists – while recognizing that the notion of a “moderate” alternative was never realistic. ...
But Obama may be running out of time in his halfway strategy of half-heartedly addressing the real danger that lies ahead if the Islamic State and/or Al-Qaeda ride the support of Saudi Arabia and Israel to a victory in Syria or Iraq or Yemen.
Are Obama’s Record Arms Sales to Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt and Iraq Fueling Unrest in Middle East?
US, Israel Continue to Talk Up Attacking Iran in Wake of Framework
Days after the announcement of a framework deal between Iran and the P5+1, Israel is still inconsolably outraged, and the Obama Administration is still trying to reassure them that the war Prime Minister Netanyahu has been rooting for could happen.
That was the message of top Obama Aide Ben Rhodes, who gave an interview Monday night on Israel’s Channel 2 insisting that “all options are on the table,” including military options, if the US decides the Iran deal isn’t working. ...
Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz is also still talking up the chances of a unilateral Israeli attack on Iran aimed at derailing the deal, saying Israel has a right to decide to attack Iran whenever it wants to.
Another fake Democrat stands up on his hind legs and bays for Bibi's war:
Sen. Schumer Stands with Republicans in Opposing Iran Nuclear Agreement
As powerful Democrat comes out against White House position, GOP that much closer to having veto-proof majority for bill that could undermine diplomatic gains
Sen. Chuck Schumer, the influential Democrat from New York who will likely take over as Senate Minority Leader when colleague Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) finally steps aside, made it clear on Monday that he will stand with the Republican caucus in its bid to undermine ongoing efforts to reach a final nuclear agreement with Iran and other world powers.
Israelis targeted UN peacekeepers in Lebanon: Spanish report
A confidential Spanish military report on the death of a Spanish UN peacekeeper in Israeli shelling in Lebanon said he was manning a post that appeared to have been targeted, a newspaper reported Sunday.
El Pais cited extracts from the report which drew on testimony from soldiers following the January 28 incident when the Israeli military shelled border areas following a Hezbollah attack that left two Israeli soldiers dead.
Corporal Ivan Lopez Sanchez, who was stationed nearby, told investigators that the UN position was clearly targeted.
"Every time, they corrected the trajectory from Majidiye to the 4-28" post, where the UNIFIL peacekeepers were stationed, he said.
Spain and Israel have agreed to carry out a joint probe into the death of 36-year-old corporal Javier Soria Toledo.
Greek PM to meet Putin before debt deadline
Greece puts a price tag on WW2 reparations: 279 billion euros
Greece demanded 278.7 billion euros ($304.74) from Germany as compensation for damages it incurred during World War Two, Deputy Finance Minister Dimitris Mardas told a parliamentary committee on Monday.
According to calculations by Greece's General Accounting Office, reparations amounted to 278.7 billion euros, a sum which a parliamentary panel set up by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was trying to claim from Germany.
This is the first time the Greek government quantified its claims, which included seeking war reparations and a so-called occupation loan that Nazi Germany forced the Bank of Greece to make. Athens also demanded that Berlin return its stolen archaeological treasures.
Germany has rejected Athens' demands, saying it settled the matter with a general compensation payment of 115 million deutschmarks in 1960. However, the issue continues to mar Greek-German relations and has gained more momentum amid Greece's economic crisis and its government's refusal to implement austerity measures.
As Election Campaign Gets Underway, Britain's Politicians Have Trouble Talking About the Future
Britain's future in Europe was in the election spotlight on Monday, as the largest parties struggled to calibrate their responses to the rise of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), which advocates secession from the European Union.
Support for UKIP has swelled in recent years, driven by resentment of immigration from 10 countries which joined the EU in 2004. The issue has become a key battleground in the upcoming general election on May 7, which takes place in a fractured political landscape as voters dissatisfied with the traditional ruling forces increasingly turn to smaller parties for answers. ...
UKIP argues, not without justification, that the only way to limit immigration from the EU would be to leave wholesale. Cameron says he wants to renegotiate the terms of EU membership, and has promised a referendum on the question.
But the Labor Party says an exit from the EU would be a disaster for business. ...
Fear for the future, particularly among the young, has become a theme of an election in which voters are arguably more cynical and more divided than at any time for over half a century.
Why John Oliver Can’t Find Americans Who Know Edward Snowden’s Name (It’s Not About Snowden)
On his HBO program last night, John Oliver devoted 30 minutes to a discussion of U.S. surveillance programs, advocating a much more substantive debate as the June 1 deadline for renewing the Patriot Act approaches (the full segment can be seen here). As part of that segment, Oliver broadcast an interview he conducted with Edward Snowden in Moscow, and to illustrate the point that an insufficient surveillance debate has been conducted, showed video of numerous people in Times Square saying they had no idea who Snowden is (or giving inaccurate answers about him). Oliver assured Snowden off-camera that they did not cherry-pick those “on the street” interviews but showed a representative sample.
Oliver’s overall discussion is good (and, naturally, quite funny), but the specific point he wants to make here is misguided. Contrary to what Oliver says, it’s actually not surprising at all that a large number of Americans are unaware of who Snowden is, nor does it say much at all about the surveillance debate. That’s because a large number of Americans, by choice, are remarkably unaware of virtually all political matters. .... The data on American political apathy is rather consistent, and stunning. Begin with the fact that even in presidential election years, 40 to 50 percent of the voting-age public simply chooses not participate in the voting process at all, while two-thirds chooses not to vote in midterm elections. ...
These are obviously significant facts which receive far too little discussion, analysis and attention. One reason is that they serve as a rather stinging indictment on the political system which media and political insiders love to glorify: a huge chunk of the population, probably the majority, have simply turned away entirely from politics, presumably out of a belief that it makes no difference in their lives. It’s difficult to maintain mythologies about the glories of American democracy if most of the population believes it has so little value that it merits literally none of their time and mental attention.
Snowden Statue Removed from Brooklyn Park
Edward Snowden statue prompts cover-up at Brooklyn park
The New York parks department on Monday removed a large bust of Edward Snowden that was installed in a Brooklyn park, shortly after covering it up with a tarp and thwarting the artists’ stated intent “to highlight those who sacrifice their safety in the fight against modern-day tyrannies”.
The Snowden bust still stood at Fort Greene Park’s Prison Ship Martyrs monument, atop a single Doric column. But it was wrapped in a blue tarpaulin, as city workers debated what to do with it.
The monument stands to the memory of 11,000 prisoners who died in British captivity during the Revolutionary war.
The anonymous artists explained their tribute to the NSA whistleblower in a statement, writing: “It would be a dishonor to those memorialized here not to laud those who protect the ideals they fought for, as Edward Snowden has by bringing the NSA’s fourth amendment-violating surveillance programs to light. All too often, figures who strive to uphold those ideals have been cast as criminals rather than in bronze.” ...
The Brooklyn-based artists also wrote that they hoped passersby would “ponder the sacrifices made for their freedoms”.
“We hope this inspires them to reflect upon the responsibility we all bear to ensure our liberties exist long into the future,” they said.
TSA’s Airport "Behavior Detection Program" Found to Target Undocumented Immigrants, Not Terrorists
TSA ‘Behavior Detection’ Program Targeting Undocumented Immigrants, Not Terrorists
A controversial Transportation Security Administration program that uses “behavior indicators” to identify potential terrorists is instead primarily targeting undocumented immigrants, according to a document obtained by The Intercept and interviews with current and former government officials.
The $900 million program, Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques, or SPOT, employs behavior detection officers trained to identify passengers who exhibit behaviors that TSA believes could be linked to would-be terrorists. But in one five-week period at a major international airport in the United States in 2007, the year the program started, only about 4 percent of the passengers who were referred to secondary screening or law enforcement by behavior detection officers were arrested, and nearly 90 percent of those arrests were for being in the country illegally, according to a TSA document obtained by The Intercept.
Nothing in the SPOT records suggests that any of those arrested were associated with terrorist activity.
Those results aren’t surprising, according to those involved in the program, because the behavior checklist was, in part, modeled after immigration, border and drug interdiction programs. Drug smugglers and undocumented immigrants often exhibit clear signs of nervousness and confusion, or may be in possession of fraudulent documents.
“That’s why we started rounding up all the Mexicans,” said one former behavior detection officer.
As Chicago votes, Mayor Emanuel accused of 'cowering in silence' over Homan Square
The last election day in Chicago was 24 February, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel was expected to stave off a re-election challenge. But that morning, the high-profile mayoral race took an unexpected turn: allegations of abuse and detention inside a secretive Chicago police facility known as Homan Square reverberated from a Guardian report across the world, and Emanuel was forced into a runoff to save his political career.
Nearly six weeks later, as voters head to the polls once more, advocates seeking new reforms to years of Chicago police violence remain frustrated that Homan Square never became more of a direct campaign issue. In a city where boss-style politics and police brutality rarely evolve, they say, a culture of top-down silence has drowned out a potentially historic flashpoint.
Despite multiple protests, international outrage, a federal civil-rights lawsuit as well as local and national activists calling for the facility to be investigated by the mayor, organizers now worry that if Emanuel succeeds after looking the other way, what they consider to be abusive police business will only continue as usual.
“He is cowering in the tradition of silence that he inherited,” said Jason Tompkins, an organizer with Black Lives Matter of Chicago. “Why do you think the mayor has denied Homan Square and not allowed for an investigation?” ...
“In many ways, for the past 60 years, the torch has been passed from Richard J Daley to Richard M Daley and on to Rahm Emanuel,” said longtime Chicago civil-rights attorney Flint Taylor, referring to Emanuel’s predecessors and the long history of Chicago police abuse. “The assassination of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton was carried out by Richard J’s police; the Chicago police torture scandal was Richard M’s; and Homan Square is now Rahm’s.”

BB King hospitalised for dehydration
BB King has been hospitalised for dehydration. The 89-year-old’s daughter, Claudette, told the LA Times that her father’s symptoms were caused by his type 2 diabetes but was currently “doing much better”.
The blues legend has had type 2 diabetes for more than two decades. In October 2014, King cancelled the remaining eight performances of a tour, owing to dehydration and exhaustion.

Lose-Lose-Lose Proposition': Obama's Forest Service Endangers Colorado Woods With Coal Mine Loophole
"THIS is Obama's new climate initiative?" asks Earthjustice attorney. "Bulldozing Colorado roadless forest for 350 million tons of dirty coal."
Thousands of acres of publicly-owned, roadless Colorado forests face renewed threat on Monday after the U.S. Forest Service moved to reinstate a loophole that allows major coal companies to bulldoze over protected lands, paving the way for coal mine expansion and increased carbon emissions of the 'dirtiest' variety.
"The coal mine loophole is a lose-lose-lose proposition: it’s bad for wildlife, bad for hikers and hunters who enjoy Colorado’s wild forests, and it’s bad for our climate," said Ted Zukoski, an attorney with the group Earthjustice, which is among the local and national conservation groups sounding the alarm over the rule change.
Known as the North Fork Coal Mining Area exception of the Colorado Roadless Rule, the loophole was rejected last year by the U.S. District Court of Colorado, which ruled that the Forest Service's approval of Arch Coal's Environmental Impact Statement failed to consider the climate change impacts of expanding coal mining and burning. The court’s ruling left the door open for the Forest Service to revive the loophole if the agency undertook a new analysis. ...
"This plan shows the dangerous disconnect between Obama’s climate rhetoric and his plans to open more public land to the fossil fuel industry," said Taylor McKinnon of the Center for Biological Diversity. "This coal can’t be burned if we’re going to keep our planet livable. The president should withdraw this proposal now."
Canada glaciers to shrink 70% by 2100
The glaciers of western Canada, one of the world’s most picturesque mountain regions, are likely to largely melt away over just three generations, scientists have warned.
By 2100, the glaciers of Alberta and British Columbia are set to shrink by 75% in area compared to 2005 levels, and by 70% in volume, according to their predictions.
But in two out of the three regions that were studied, the decline could be even more dramatic – over 90%.
The loss will hit many sectors, from agriculture, forestry and tourism to ecosystems and water quality, the investigators warned.
“When the glaciers have gone, we lose the important services they provide: a buffer against hot, dry spells in late summer that keeps headwater streams flowing and cool, and sustains cool-water aquatic species.”
The team used a computer model that combined four well-known scenarios for global warming this century, with data about three glacier-covered regions and dynamics of ice melt.
Even at the lowest projected warming, most of the glaciers are essentially doomed, according to their forecast.
“Few glaciers will remain in the Interior and Rockies regions, but maritime glaciers, in particular those in northwestern British Columbia, will survive in a diminished state,” the investigators said.
Fukushima disaster radiation detected off Canada's coast
Trace amounts of Cesium-134 and Cesium-137 detected in samples collected off the coast of Ucluelet, a small town on Vancouver Island in British Columbia
Radiation from Japan’s 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster has for the first time been detected along a North American shoreline, though at levels too low to pose a significant threat to human or marine life, scientists said.
Trace amounts of Cesium-134 and Cesium-137 were detected in samples collected on 19 February off the coast of Ucluelet, a small town on Vancouver Island in Canada’s British Columbia, said Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution scientist Ken Buesseler.
“Radioactivity can be dangerous, and we should be carefully monitoring the oceans after what is certainly the largest accidental release of radioactive contaminants to the oceans in history,” Buesseler said in a statement.
The levels the group detected are extremely low. For example, swimming in the Vancouver Island water every day for a year would provide a dose of radiation less than a thousand times smaller than a single dental X-ray, Woods Hole said.
Climate campaigners losing faith in value of engaging with fossil fuel firms
It’s been 23 years since investor activists first tried to get the oil business to face up to the risks of climate change. Progress has been painfully slow and gains have been few. Now many campaigners have concluded that engagement is not delivering anywhere near fast enough: it is time to sever ties with fossil fuel companies.
“Engagement is useless,” said Bevis Longstreth, a securities and exchange commissioner during the Reagan administration, who has signed on to the divestment campaign by Harvard alumni who are calling on that university to shift its investments from fossil fuels. Oil and gas companies were never going to give up their core business because of shareholder proposals, he argues. ...
Investors have made headway in pushing companies to disclose their carbon footprint and their potential liabilities – in terms of fossil fuel holdings that could be stranded in a carbon-constrained world, or facilities at risk from sea-level rise or the other effects of climate change.
That’s no longer enough, said Shelley Alpern, advocacy director for Clean Yield Asset Management, a firm that manages $275m (£186m) in assets. “The resolutions are too soft. It’s been a lot about further transparency or setting goals to reduce operational emissions. At this point we think it needs to be filing shareholder proposals – like one that I am aware of with ExxonMobil – asking the company to reduce capital expenditures on high-cost risky development such as the tar sands and return that capital to shareholders.”
It’s an even bigger ask to press energy companies to put out a plan for their managed decline, she said. “What they need to do is unprecedented. They need to change their core business model in almost no time flat. They need to acknowledge that 80% of proven reserves is dangerous to bring to production,” she said.
