News and Opinion
David Mizner documents what ought to be front page news on all progressive sites worthy of the title - how Hillary Clinton and the "humanitarian" gasbags Susan Rice and Samantha Power lied and manipulated the US into destroying Libya. Go read it all if you have the stomach for it.
Benghazi is a sideshow. Hillary Clinton’s real scandal is her role in pushing the war against Libya.
n March 17, 2011, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1973, authorizing a no-fly zone over Libya and “all necessary measures” to protect civilians. That same day — as revealed by Pentagon audio tapes obtained by the Washington Times — President Qaddafi’s son Seif tried to call a US general to try to negotiate a ceasefire.
Every now and then — on Israel and Palestine, for example — the US military brass takes the term “national security” literally and needs to be set straight by civilian leaders. Never mind that the UN resolution had urged diplomacy, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton instructed the Joint Chiefs of Staff not to negotiate with the Libyan government.
Later the Libyan government made another attempt to negotiate through an intermediary, American businessman and former US Navy officer Charles Kubic. According to Kubic, General Carter Ham, head of AFRICOM, agreed to participate in this effort to halt the war. Qaddafi proposed a seventy-two-hour-truce, then said he would step down to allow for a transition provided that NATO agreed to maintain the Libyan army, lift sanctions against him and his family, and provide them safe passage.
Was the offer genuine and workable? We’ll never know, because Clinton shut down the negotiations.
Thanks to news reports — mostly in right-wing outlets — over the last several months, a clearer picture of the US’s 2011 war on Libya has emerged. While some of the analysis in these pieces is suspect, much of the reporting is well-sourced, and it should be making life uncomfortable for Clinton.
But she carries on unscathed partly because few American elites want to talk about the US destruction of Libya and partly because her GOP adversaries continue to fixate on the 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi. The wayward probe allows her to depict herself, accurately, as the target of a partisan effort. A manufactured scandal clouds a real one.
Tsipras Boots Syriza's Left from Government
Less than 48 hours after tense negotiations led to the passageof a new harsh austerity package, Greece Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Saturday reportedly "reshuffled" his administration, booting members of Syriza's leftist flank who opposed the controversial bailout.
"It marks the beginning of the end of his relationship with the extremist far-left faction," Aristides Hatzis, associate professor of law and economics at Athens University, told the Guardian. "But it is also clear that this is a short-term government. Tsipras’s hands are tied because these people still have a strong presence in his parliamentary group."
The reorganization saw nine total changes, the most notable being the ousting of outspoken Marxist Panagiotis Lafazanis from his post as energy minister. As head of Syriza's Left Platform, Lafazanis had "led the revolt against policies he said were utterly incompatible with the party’s ideology," the Guardian reports.
The Greek Parliament must pass additional reforms by Wednesday to ensure the additional bailout.
Revolutionary Expectations and the Fight Against Austerity
Banks Have Reopened in Greece, but Almost Everything Has Become More Expensive
Greek banks have finally reopened after three weeks of chaos, but a new era of austerity has also begun in the country, with new taxes meaning many goods and services are more expensive — from coffee to funeral homes to cooking oil.
In downtown Athens, people queued up in an orderly fashion as the banks unlocked their doors at 8am. Restrictions on most transactions remain, though the daily cash withdrawal limit has moved to a weekly one of 420 euros ($455).
Higher prices also took effect across the country, with sales taxes rising from 13 percent to 23 percent on many basic goods — including some meats, cooking oils, coffee, tea, cocoa, vinegar, salt, flowers, firewood, fertilizer, insecticides, sanitary towels, and condoms. ...
Greece's left-wing Syriza-led government is racing to finalize a new bailout agreement with creditors and faces another vote in parliament this Wednesday to impose more austerity measures.
Amid the pressure, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is struggling to contain a growing revolt in his Syriza party, as observers suggest that a snap election may be called within the next few months.
Cabinet-level dissenters were replaced in a reshuffle on Friday, but even their replacements have angrily denounced the new austerity measures.
Greek Officials confirm that almost all of €7.2bn bridging loan went into repaying money owed to the ECB and IMF
Greek officials began paying back international lenders shortly after the emergency bridging loan arrived in the Greek government’s bank account on Monday.
The EU agreed the loan on Friday to enable Athens to meet urgent debt repayments and clear arrears, both necessary hurdles if the Greek government is to get a three-year bailout worth up to €86bn.
The money was transferred to Athens around noon (1000 BST) and was immediately used to repay Greece’s international creditors. The Greek government has begun making a €4.2bn payment to the European Central Bank, officials told Reuters – a €3.5bn loan plus €0.7bn interest. Failure to make this payment could have forced Greece out of the eurozone, as the ECB would have had to pull its support for Greek banks because it cannot back an insolvent country.
The Greek government also owes €500,000 to the central bank of Greece and must clear this debt so it is not indebted to the “eurosystem” – the central banks of the eurozone.
The International Monetary Fund confirmed it had received around €2bn from Greece, representing two missed payments.
SYRIZA's Stability Rocked by New Memorandum
Greek banks reopen to a surprise: no deluge of panic-stricken customers
At 6am on Monday morning Dimitris Rombopoulos was at his post as the security guard outside the National Bank of Greece. By 6.30 the first of a small but steady stream of people, mostly white-haired pensioners, had begun to appear. Rombopoulos, tall, dark, his tie slightly askew, braced for the worse. “I thought after three weeks of the banks being closed it’s going to be crazy,” he said. “I thought maybe I’d need reinforcement.”
So when the giant doors of the bank’s historical headquarters at 86 Aeolou Street finally opened, Rombopoulos had a bit of a surprise. “About 70 people had gathered and most of them were pensioners wanting to withdraw cash,” he added. “And that was about as big as the crowd got.” ...
“What economy can work without its banks?” asked Spyros Kouroumbiotis, a pensioner who had joined the queue to pay his taxes. “As an economist I still help my family with their business and I can tell you it’s been a huge ordeal. Exports have stopped, imports have stopped, nothing has worked because it’s been impossible to pay anyone.”
But on Monday it was the manner of their reopening that surprised officials most. Quite quickly it became evident that the panic-stricken deluge of customers many had feared was simply not happening. Many Greeks, who have spent the best part of five years internalising the crisis and getting used to bad news, reacted by staying at home. Those who did not appeared willing to stand in neat orderly queues, motivated to large degree by the desire to keep up with annual taxes and utility bills.
Your Move, US Congress: EU and UN Back Iran Nuclear Accord
Sending a strong signal to the U.S. Congress to follow suit, both the European Union and United Nations Security Council on Monday endorsed the nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers.
As part of the accord, both bodies agreed to end crippling economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for new limits to its domestic nuclear program. ...
The onus now falls on the U.S. Congress to also approve the accord, which was formally given to both Houses on Sunday, beginning a 60-day deliberation period. Conservative U.S. lawmakers and other warhawks, echoing the words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have tried to thwart the international agreement.
Susan Rice Won’t Tell the Truth About Why Americans Can’t Inspect Iran
According to paragraph 67 of the new nuclear deal with Iran, IAEA inspectors in charge of monitoring the agreement may only be “from nations that have diplomatic relations with Iran.” This means that no inspectors will be American (unless the U.S. unexpectedly reestablishes the diplomatic ties with Iran that it severed in 1980).
This seems like a strange, telling concession by the Obama administration. But there’s an extremely good reason for Iran to insist on such conditions: during the U.N.’s weapons inspections of Iraq during the 1990s, some inspectors were American — and some of them were spies placed there in an apparent effort to conduct espionage against, and eventually overthrow, the Iraqi government. This was one of the key reasons Iraqi relations with the inspectors were so rocky, since Iraq repeatedly blocked inspection teams because of the presence of Americans.
But now the no-Americans-allowed-in-Iran clause has become a talking point in right-wing media. And when Wolf Blitzer recently interviewed National Security Advisor Susan Rice on CNN, he felt it was so crucial that he did what television hosts almost never do: question a powerful guest until they get a straight answer out of them.
BLITZER: No Americans will directly be involved in any on the ground inspections in Iran, is that right?
RICE: Wolf, yes, the IAEA, which is a highly respected international organization, will field an international team of inspectors. And those inspectors will, in all likelihood, come from IAEA member states, most of whom have diplomatic relations with Iran. We, of course, are a rare exception.
BLITZER: So no one…
RICE: The British have diplomatic relations…
BLITZER: — so no Americans…
RICE: — the French…
BLITZER: — will be — I just want to be precise on this … No Americans will be on the ground in Iran actually inspecting?
RICE: No Americans will be part of the IAEA inspection teams.
Pentagon Chief Again Threatens to Attack Iran
Heading to Israel today, Defense Secretary Ash Carter once again talked up the idea of the US, having reached a nuclear deal with Iran, just up and attacking Iran out of nowhere, saying that’s one of the best things about the nuclear deal.
“One of the reasons this deal is a good one is that it does nothing to prevent the military option,” Carter insisted, saying the US and Israel could “agree to disagree” about the merits of the plan, but that the planning for an aggressive war against Iran would continue. ...
Carter’s comments are seen, at least in part, as trying to placate Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, whose objections seem to center around the pact getting in the way of his decades of agitating for war against Iran. It does, however, add to international mistrust of the US in the wake of the deal, and whether they’re going to either renege on the pact or launch a unilateral war out of nowhere for no reason at all.
'If You Don't Talk We'll Beat You': Israeli Security Forces Accused of Abusing Child Prisoners
Israeli security forces have choked, beaten, and coerced confessions from Palestinian child detainees, according to a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report released on Monday.
Based on interviews with five children aged between 11 and 15 years old — whose accounts are corroborated by photos, videos, and eyewitness testimonies — the report by the international NGO contains multiple allegations of abuses by Israeli soldiers and police officers ranging from interrogating minors without a parent or lawyer present to punching, kicking, and verbally abusing them.
"They put a black cloth bag on my head, and were shouting: 'We're going to beat you, you're going to tell us who was with you throwing stones,'" 11-year-old Rashid from Silwan neighborhood in East Jerusalem told HRW. "Then they were pushing me around, and cursing me, in Arabic. They kicked me in the shin, and my leg turned different colors. I was freezing. They kept putting me into a car and taking me out." Rashid's father said his son suffered nightmares for several days after his arrest.
In another case, Ahmed, also aged 11, was put in a chokehold while being arrested outside the gates of his school in the Al-Tur neighborhood of East Jerusalem. The incident, which was caught on video, caused the boy to urinate on himself in fear. An adult onlooker, detained after he tried to intervene in the arrest, was later strip-searched and beaten in front of Ahmed at a police station in Jerusalem's Old City.
In all of the cases investigated by Human Rights Watch the parents said that the Israeli authorities did not notify them of the arrests and interrogated their child without a lawyer or guardian present. Three of the children of interviewed said they signed confessions in Hebrew, a language they didn't understand.
Cuban embassy opens in Washington
The blue, red and white-starred flag of Cuba has been raised above the country’s embassy in Washington as diplomatic relations between the US and Cuba were formally restored. ...
The ceremony, presided over by Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodríguez on his first ever visit of the US capital, had all the bustle of downtown Havana.
In searing heat, hundreds of onlookers blocked the road, shouting “Viva Cuba Socialista” and “Cuba Libre” when three soldiers, dressed in white uniforms, hoisted the flag in front of the mansion that previous served as the country’s interests section. ...
In a speech that made clear that significant differences remain between the two countries, Rodríguez cited Cuban independence leader Jose Martí, who he noted had paid tribute to America’s values but also warned of its “excess craving for domination”.
He praised the “wise leadership of Fidel Castro”; condemned Guantánamo Bay, the US naval base on the island used to incarcerate terror suspects without due process; and called on the immediate end to the US trade embargo on Cuba.
“The historic events we are living today will only make sense with the removal of the economic, commercial and financial blockade, which causes so much deprivation and damage to our people; the return of occupied territory in Guantánamo; and respect for the sovereignty of Cuba,” Rodríguez said.

Obama’s Prison Visit Is an Empty Gesture
On Thursday Barack Obama became the first sitting president to visit an American prison. ... The highly scripted visit allowed Obama to meet with prison officials, with six non-violent drug offenders, and to tour a cell. In remarks afterwards, Obama repeated his call for reforms while stressing he had no tolerance for violent criminals. ...
Over the last fews years, a bipartisan consensus has emerged that intends to tackle criminal justice reform, a political reality that was unthinkable 20 years ago when both Democratic and Republican politicians tripped over each other flaunting their tough-on-crime bona fides.
Yet Obama — for all the recent talk concerning penal reform — has been slow to the cause. Yes, he did double his number of commutations this week, but, according to 538, his “pardon rate still remains the lowest of all recent presidents” at 3.3 percent. If Obama truly wanted to reduce the sentences of incarcerated people, he could do so with the stroke of a pen.
Further, while Obama called for reducing the length of mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent street crimes and urged states to both restore voting rights for felons and reconsider solitary confinement conditions, there is little indication that any of his proposed reforms will come to fruition, or that he will even push for them.
There are also no plans for the Obama administration to introduce legislation to Congress. ... Moreover, the modest reforms Obama proposed will do little to aggressively tackle the carceral crisis that has imprisoned 2.2 million people in the U.S. — the highest rate among industrialized countries.
This is an excellent essay, well worth your time to click the link and read in full. Here's a taste:
If you want a living wage, be prepared to go on strike for it
Is the best way to achieve higher wages really legislation? Many think so. Across the country, working people are eagerly waiting to feel the effects of new laws that raise the minimum wage. Seattle will see an increase to $15 by 2021, and Los Angeles will see the same increase by 2020. But this strategy detracts from the only power dynamic that can actually overturn economic inequality: class struggle.
Legislative wage hikes fade fast into inflated prices. Worse, they teach folks that ultimately we need not organize – except to ask the state to change things for us. That’s a losing battle on all fronts and one that obscures class analysis. This analysis says that there are two classes under capitalism, who’s economically ordained conflict propels the system: the working class, who creates the surplus value in commodities, and the ruling class, who receives most of the wealth of commodities.
Instead of ceding our collective power to city councils and corporate offices, we need to broaden and radicalize the movement for a living wage, embracing more powerful tactics that today’s union leaders have dismissed. It’s not simply about the outcomes of reform; it’s about how we win it. That’s what teaches us how to fight. That’s what builds a movement. Without a movement, we have no hope for real, sustainable change. We have no hope of getting rid of capitalism.

Elizabeth Warren Pushes To Slow Revolving Door Between Business and Government
A new bill that would ban private-sector bonuses to executives entering public service got a rousing endorsement on Friday from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as she delivered a much-anticipated keynote address to the annual Netroots Nation convention.
Warren not only praised the bill — “No more paying people off to remember their Wall Street friends while they run our government,” she said — she also issued what was widely seen as a challenge to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.
“It’s a bill any presidential candidate should be able to cheer for,” Warren told the gathering of progressives in Phoenix.
The bill was introduced on Wednesday by Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., and Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md. Titled the Financial Services Conflict of Interest Act, it would prohibit government employees from accepting bonuses from their former private sector employers for entering government service — a remarkably common practice in Washington.
The bill would also force officials to wait longer to lobby or accept jobs in private practice following their government service. Government workers would also be forced to recuse themselves from official decisions that would directly impact their former employers.
'Still Can't Breathe': One Year After Eric Garner's Death, Justice Remains Elusive
Friday marks one year since 43-year-old Eric Garner, a black, unarmed father of six, died at the hands of a white New York City police officer.
But 365 days later, justice is still elusive, according to Garner's family—as well as the Black Lives Matter movement galvanized in part by his death. ...
To mark Friday's solemn occasion—and to amplify ongoing, unmet calls for accountability—a coalition of racial justice and police reform groups is joining forces to organize Friday's NYC #ShutItDown for Eric Garner solidarity march and rally, to which more than 1,500 people have already RSVP'd. Millions March NYC, NYC ShutItDown, Peoples Power Assemblies, and Black Lives Matter NYC are among the groups mobilizing. ...
Meanwhile, on Saturday, the NYCLU along with other civil rights, labor, and social justice organizations will hold a #Rally4Justice outside Brooklyn’s Cadman Plaza to demand justice for Garner and transformation of the justice system.
Bernie Sanders: structural racism needs to end for economic justice to succeed
It is time for the progressive movement to reckon with structural racism: its role in enabling it and its moral responsibility to actively dismantle it. It’s not a request: it’s a requirement for all presidential candidates that seek progressive votes, and for a political movement that seeks any hope for relevance in a diverse America.
It’s long past time for Democratic candidates to stop taking black voters for granted, as was made clear this weekend at Netroots Nation, the largest annual gathering of progressive activists in America. At the Presidential Town Hall on Saturday morning, two Democratic Presidential candidates – former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders – publicly floundered when faced with activists from #BlackLivesMatter.
Sanders’ and O’Malley’s public interviews with journalist, documentarian and activist Jose Antonio Vargas was essentially taken over by racial justice activists who drastically changed the conversation of what was designed to be a typical, stale campaign appearance by shouting “Black lives matter!” in unison from the audience. Then Tia Oso of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration took to the stage to demand that the candidates answer one question: “As leader of this country will you advance an agenda that will dismantle structural racism in this country?”
Governor O’Malley’s tone-deaf response – “Black lives matter, white lives matter, all lives matter” – earned him boos from the crowd; he left the stage shortly after and later clarified his remarks with the news site This Week in Blackness. Bernie Sanders, with the presidential gravitas of a toddler, first attempted to shout his usual stump speech over the protestors, and then scolded them for interrupting him and held what one could only describe as a mini public tantrum. ...
When #BlackLivesMatters demonstrators demanded that candidates explain what they will do for racial justice, Netroots organizers surreptitiously flashed an apology for Governor O’Malley on the teleprompter for the disruption. Sanders supporters, meanwhile, flooded Twitter to dismiss critiques, criticize demonstrators for interrupting the economic stump speech and to attempt to civil-rights-splain to racial justice organizers about the Senator’s actions during the civil rights movement. ...
Though Sanders’s policy proposals likely align with number of black voters, his ability to address race is limited to the scope of wealth and the economy. But black voters and organizers need to know why they should fight for Bernie Sanders’ vision of our economic future when our humanity is in constant peril.
Bernie-mania spreads to Texas as Sanders' speech draws crowd of 5,000
Ninety minutes before the scheduled start of Bernie Sanders’ speech on Sunday night, a 500-person-long line snaked around the arena, in 100F heat – and in Texas.
The Democratic presidential hopeful’s fans showed up long before the doors opened and bellowed their approval once inside, as he spoke for more than an hour in front of 5,000 people, concluding a weekend in which he addressed about 25,000 in Arizona and Texas and showed that Republican-dominated states are not immune to Berniemania.
The independent Vermont senator and self-described democratic socialist attracted more than 8,000 people to a rally in Dallas earlier in the day and 11,000 in Phoenix on Saturday, the highest turnout of his campaign. ...
Another Sanders appearance in Phoenix on Saturday, at the Netroots Nation conference with fellow Democratic candidate Martin O’Malley, was interrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters, placing his response to the disruption under scrutiny.
In Houston, Sanders named African Americans who have died during encounters with police – “Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray and many others” – and said, to a deafening cheer, that officers should be held accountable if they break the law.

Smashing All Previous Records, 2015 on Track to Be Hottest Year Yet
The planet Earth, with mankind's help, is leap-frogging into sweltering new territory.
With the monthly update from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) out Monday, three of the world's official climate reporting agencies agree that June 2015 was the hottest on record, and that this year is shaping up to be the hottest year yet.
What's more, scientists say this trend is likely to continue and that 2016 could very well surpass 2015's record-breaking temperatures.
Accordingto NOAA, "The June globally-averaged land surface temperature was 2.27°F (1.26°C) above the 20th century average. This was the highest for June in the 1880–2015 record, surpassing the previous record set in 2012 by 0.11°F (0.06°C)."
This followed reports from NASA and the Japan Meteorological Agency last weekwhich found similar results. According to both NASA and NOAA, the year-to-date period (January-June) was also the warmest such period on record, with four of the six warmest months in recorded history occurring so far in 2015, putting us on the path to breaking 2014's record as the hottest documented year.
As journalist Andrew Freeman notes, "the heat in 2015 isn't just breaking records, it's smashing them."
Kayaktivists Across the Country Paddle in Protest of Arctic Drilling
Environmentalists furious with President Barack Obama's continued support for Arctic drilling on Saturday descended on the White House and paddled onto waterways across the United States united in a call to end this dangerous expansion of our fossil fuel energy system.
In a display of solidarity with Seattle's 'kayaktivists'—who through repeated direct actions have tried to thwart Royal Dutch Shell's Arctic drilling plans—activists in Minnesota, Florida, Boston, Detroit, and elsewherelaunched floating protests to denounce what they say is a "fool's journey" to drill for oil in the Chukchi Sea in the Alaskan Arctic.
Meanwhile, in Washington D.C.'s Lafayette Park, protesters donned polar bear and walrus suits and held signs calling on the president to suspend Shell's permit. The oil giant's drilling fleet is currently making its way from the Port of Seattle to the Alaskan coast, where it could begin exploratory drilling as soon as next week, activists warn. ...
The Day of Action was organized by citizen activists with support from national environmental groups including 350.org, Alaska Wilderness League, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Natural Resources Defense Council, and Sierra Club.

Surprise storm in southern California collapses bridge and subdues wildfire
A rare and powerful rainstorm has drenched parched southern California, simultaneously wreaking havoc on major roadways and power lines while helping firefighters gain control of a wildfire that broke out on Friday. ...
Meanwhile, the storm helped firefighters contain nearly 60% of a wildfire that destroyed dozens of vehicles and a handful of homes after sweeping across a freeway and barreling into a nearby community.
California is in the midst of a four-year drought, and wildfires are not uncommon. Summer rain in southern California, however, is.
The rainfall set a number of records on Saturday. The 0.36 inch that fell in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday set a record for the most rainfall in July, surpassing the quarter-inch that fell in July 1886, theLos Angeles Times reported.
