    Fukushima: It’s much worse than you think

    Scientific experts believe Japan’s nuclear disaster to be far worse than governments are revealing to the public.

    Dahr Jamail 16 Jun 2011 12:50

    “Fukushima is the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind,” Arnold Gundersen, a former nuclear industry senior vice president, told Al Jazeera.

    Japan’s 9.0 earthquake on March 11 caused a massive tsunami that crippled the cooling systems at the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s (TEPCO) nuclear plant in Fukushima, Japan. It also led to hydrogen explosions and reactor meltdowns that forced evacuations of those living within a 20km radius of the plant.

    “Yet another study has been released that proves that watching Fox News is detrimental to your intelligence. World Public Opinion, a project managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, conducted a survey of American voters that shows that Fox News viewers are significantly more misinformed than consumers of news from other sources. What’s more, the study shows that greater exposure to Fox News increases misinformation.”

    Cantor could rake in windfall if debt ceiling isn’t raised

    By David Edwards Thursday, June 30th, 2011 — 4:35 pm

    Economists have said that failing to raise the debt ceiling could be catastrophic for the U.S. economy, but at least one lawmaker stands to gain financially if the country defaults on its debts.

    House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s (R-VA) latest financial disclosure statement indicates that he owns up to $15,000 of ProShares Trust Ultrashort 20+ Year Treasury EFT, a fund that will likely skyrocket as U.S. debt becomes less desirable.

    Somebody tell me how this guy can ever be an “honest broker” in this negotiation.

    This is just sick. Where is Darrell Issa when we really need him…

    While Fighting To Block SEC Investigation Of Goldman Sachs, Rep. Darrell Issa Bought Goldman Sachs Bonds

    By Lee Fang on Jun 29, 2011 at 9:30 am

    Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) raised hell last year to stop the federal government from investigating Goldman Sachs regarding allegations that the company defrauded investors. In April 2010, shortly after the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced a civil suit against Goldman Sachs, Issa sent a letter to SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro demanding to know if there was “any sort of prearrangement, coordination, direction from, or advance notice” between the SEC and the Obama administration or congressional Democrats over the timing of the lawsuit.

    Issa’s investigation of the SEC’s investigation into Goldman Sachs stole the headlines and reinforced Goldman Sach’s claim that they had done nothing wrong. Explaining his defense of Goldman Sachs, Issa said he was representing the views of ordinary Americans who are worried about the “growth of government and the growth of government wanting to become more complex, with more agencies and more control over our lives.”

    However, recent personal finance disclosures reviewed by ThinkProgress paint a different picture of Issa’s motivations. According to documents filed recently with the House Clerk, Issa went on a buying spree of high yield Goldman Sachs bonds at the same time he was running defense for the investment bank in Congress. From February to December of 2010, Issa bought 12 Goldman Sachs High Yield Fund Class A bonds, each worth up to $50,000 (view page 10 the disclosure here). Many of the bonds were purchased in the months after he filed his letter to the SEC. The $600,000 in new Goldman Sachs investments added to Issa’s multimillion dollar accounts managed by the company, valued from $5.1 to $15.5 million.

    Oh well.

    Four Trillion for War—and Rising

    Posted on Jul 1, 2011
    By Joe Conason

    Anyone paying attention to the costs of U.S. military action in Iraq and Afghanistan must have known that the president badly underestimated those numbers on June 22, when he told the nation that we have spent “a trillion dollars” waging war over the past decade. For well over two years, we have known that the total monetary cost of those wars will eventually amount to well over $2 trillion, and might well rise higher, according to Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz and his associate Linda Bilmes.

    What we didn’t know until this week is that the expense in constant dollars—leaving aside the horrific price paid by the dead, wounded, displaced and ruined in every country—will likely reach well over $4.4 trillion.

    That is the conclusion of a study released by the Eisenhower Research Project, a group of scholars, diplomats and other experts based at Brown University’s Watson Institute for International Studies. The Eisenhower study doesn’t scant the human damage, which its authors say has been underestimated as badly as the fiscal costs. According to them, “an extremely conservative estimate of the toll in direct war dead and wounded is about 225,000 dead and about 365,000 physically wounded in these wars so far”—including those in Pakistan, which is embroiled in war just as lethally as Afghanistan.

    The American military dead in all three countries now total more than 6,000, a figure that does not include another 2,300 in U.S. military contractors; the American wounded, military and civilian, are well over 100,000, which doesn’t include the psychological destruction wreaked on those who served and their families. The most obvious indicator is the exceptionally high suicide rate among the million or more returned veterans.

    The Eisenhower study’s authors concede that they cannot readily estimate the full value of the economic and social damage we have sustained as a nation—in lost years of work and wrecked families, as well as huge interest costs on the money borrowed to finance these interventions. Nor can they fully account for the growth and investment forfeited because such a great proportion of the nation’s resources was squandered on war rather than pressing needs in infrastructure, energy, education and health.

    For less than 5 percent of what we have spent on war—to consider one example among many—we could have completed an American high-speed rail system and repaired most of our crumbling infrastructure, too.</(emphasis mine) blockquote>

    GOP Burlesque Show, Act XIII

    Minnesota’s state government shut down early this morning, thanks to the Republican clowns in control of the state legislature, egged on by former GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

    This is the second time in six years that Minnesotans have watched their state government shut down. The first time was on Pawlenty’s watch. This time is Pawlenty’s legacy:

    “The Democratic governor and state GOP lawmakers had been engaged in contentious talks to close the state’s $5 billion budget gap — much of it left behind by GOP presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty, who declined to seek a third term in the 2010 election.”

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....88363.html

    And what’s GOP President Candidate Pawlenty’s prescription for the federal budget deficit? He wants to eliminate all taxes on corporations, capital gains, dividends, and interest.

    Now, I’m only a rabbit, and not very sophisticated in Human Political Math, but it seems to me that another MASSIVE TAX CUT FOR THE RICH would widen, not reduce, the federal budget deficit!

    If that’s wrong maybe one of our resident trolls could explain to me how REPUBLICAN PANDER MATH works?

  20. 20

    Pawlenty is not, in my opinion, a serious candidate. He’s a clown show who will be one of the herd eliminated in the first round of caucuses and primaries.

    Am I the only one wondering it the networks ginned up the whole Halprin thing for ratings and to keep people distracted. Bet Halprin made 50k for saying that one sentence.

    Why Do Republicans Hate The Bible?

    Todd Akin, a GOP congressman running for the Senate in Missouri, is having trouble shaking a controversy he stirred up last week when he said on a radio show that liberalism is “a hatred of God.”

    Now, right off the bat, this sounds pretty silly to me; because, if you actually read the Bible, liberals look suspiciously in sync with stuff that Jesus guy used to tell people — you know, love your neighbor, don’t love money too much, forgive everybody for every rotten thing they ever did to you, and so on — whereas Republicanism is about as far removed from what Jesus taught as it’s possible to get, short of being a commie or a terrorist.

    Here’s how a substantial segment of Missouri’s religious community has responded to Akin’s rants:

    “Such insulting pronouncements degrade our nation’s political dialogue and are unworthy of a public servant who claims to represent the interests of all of his constituents.”

    The religious reaction forced Akin to apologize — sort of — by saying his comments they weren’t directed at individuals but at liberal ideology. Yeah, well, wouldn’t that include most of the New Testament?

    So much question is, why does this guy hate Jesus and the Bible?

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....88703.html

    Next thing you know, Republicans will torture Christian prisoners by flushing pages of the New Testament down the commode.

    Bank Robbery, Afghan-Style

    “The top two officials of Kabul Bank used fake names, forged documents, fictitious companies and secret records as part of an elaborate ruse to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to shareholders and top Afghan officials, according to newly obtained documents and interviews.

    “The scheme overseen by … the bank’s former chairman, and … the chief executive, helped to cover up a vast disbursal of funds to Afghanistan’s ruling elite ….

    Among the major recipients was Mahmoud Karzai, the president’s brother, … some parliament members, warlords and cabinet ministers ….

    “The crisis at Kabul Bank has shaken confidence in Afghanistan’s financial system and caused the lapse of the International Monetary Fund’s line of credit, which has stymied tens of millions of dollars of foreign aid to the country.”

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/.....story.html

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: I’ll bet you’re thinking, “these guys are gonna lose their hands,” aren’t you? Wrong! If that’s what you think, you don’t know how things work in Afghanistan.

    Let’s say you’re a Muslim and you live in a village where everyone else is a Muslim, and even the goats are Muslims, and you steal a goat from your neighbor. You’ll get your hand cut off for that, because you stole the goat from a brother Muslim, which is forbidden. But stealing from infidels is always allowed, in fact, encouraged, so if the goat you stole belonged to a Western tourist you not only wouldn’t be punished but would receive a reward in Heaven (or Paradise, or whatever they call it) for reuniting a Muslim goat with a new owner who is also a Muslim. After all, how could a Muslim goat be happy about giving its milk to feed an infidel master?

    Forget this stuff about cutting off the hands of thieves. That’s Arabian Nights. Afghanistan is one of the most corrupt places on earth. This type of corruption and fraud is de rigeur for these guys. It’s long been known to anyone in Washington D.C. who knows anything about Afghanistan that President Karzai’s family is utterly corrupt. Corruption and cronynism is how things work among the Afghan ruling elite. That was true even before the Soviets showed up and imported their own unique brand of corruption and cronyism (under which officers stole food and weapons from their own soldiers and sold it to the mujahideen enemy — do you understand now why they lost that war?). Corruption is a way of life in Afghanistan.

    And besides, this isn’t their own money these guys stole. They’re not THAT stupid! Only Republicans are that stupid. This is IMF and foreign aid money they’re stealing — in short, the infidels’ money! As I’ve already pointed out above, you don’t get your hands cut off for THAT. Not by any means! Their reward in Heaven will be great. I’ve got a hunch 800 million infidel dollars spends pretty well in Paradise, not to mention how well it spends here on earth in this life.

    Romney Flip-Flops Again

    You may recall that back in June, President-In-Waiting Flip Flopper said Obama “didn’t create the recession, but he made it worse and longer.”

    Well, he’s changed his tune.

    Yesterday, when an NBC producer asked him why he thinks Obama has hurt the economy, Romney said: “I didn’t say that things are worse.”*

    * Yes, he did; see first paragraph of this comment.

    Article in the paper today, which I didn’t have time to read in it’s entirity, which talks about how much George W. Bush and Rick Perry (and their staffs) hate each other. A lot of it goes back to when both of them were in Texas politics back in the 1990’s, and there wasn’t enough room in town for both of them to be on top rail of the right-wing nutjob fence.

    But in 2008, Perry was being very critical of George W. Bush’s handling of the economy. Who wasn’t? Republicans that year were running away from George W. Bush’s legacy so fast that a few of them broke the four-minute mile.

    But before you think that means that Perry is a moderate, think again. In his comments, he makes clear that he thinks that Bush’s problems were that he wasnt a bigger wingnut.

    Pregnant Women Who Lose Babies Face Criminal Charges In Mississippi, Alabama

    By Marie Diamond on Jul 1, 2011 at 12:25 pm

    This year, the Georgia legislature considered a bill that would require women to prove their miscarriages “occurred naturally” and weren’t secret abortions. In a similar vein, the Guardian reports that states including Mississippi and Alabama are charging dozens of women with murder or other serious crimes who have miscarried or had stillbirths:

    Across the US more and more prosecutions are being brought that seek to turn pregnant women into criminals.[…]

    In Alabama at least 40 cases have been brought under the state’s “chemical endangerment” law. Introduced in 2006, the statute was designed to protect children whose parents were cooking methamphetamine in the home and thus putting their children at risk from inhaling the fumes. Amanda Kimbrough is one of the women who have been ensnared as a result of the law being applied in a wholly different way.[…]

    The baby was delivered by caesarean section prematurely in April 2008 and died 19 minutes after birth. Six months later Kimbrough was arrested at home and charged with “chemical endangerment” of her unborn child on the grounds that she had taken drugs during the pregnancy – a claim she has denied.

    “That shocked me, it really did,” Kimbrough said. “I had lost a child, that was enough.”

    Kimbrough is now facing a 10-year sentence if her case is not reversed on appeal — a 10 year sentence that will deprive her three other children of their mother.

    I want to se the puddybitch and maxie and richpeoplefirst and the rest of the right-wing woman-hating forced-birth troll-fucks defend this shit. I really do…
