There is a growing, bipartisan movement to reform banking through reinstating Glass-Steagall. Is this email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Dear Friend,   Thirty-seven pages. Thirty-seven pages were all it took to fix all the problems that led up to the Stock Market Crash of 1929.  Thirty-seven pages created the longest period of financial stability in the United States.  When Glass-Steagall was repealed, banks returned to the same pre-Depression speculative practices and eventually brought about the crash.  Dodd-Frank was passed with the intention of ending the most egregious of practices, including using escrow accounts as financial pools for high-risk investments.  However, it failed to address the most critical problem, that banks are simply so big that their failure will threaten the stability of the entire economy. As I've traveled the 14th Congressional District, I've heard from both Republicans and Democrats, bankers and voters, that the repeal of Glass-Steagall was the worst thing to happen to our financial sector in decades.  Now, the chief architect of its repeal, former Citigroup Chairman Sanford Wiell, is calling for a return to Glass-Steagall. It's time to Pass the Glass!    Sincerely,   Dennis Anderson Democratic Candidate 14th Congressional District Like Us on Facebook Follow on Twitter Forward to a Friend  follow on Twitter | Like Us on Facebook | forward to a friend  Copyright © 2012 Dennis Anderson for Congress, All rights reserved.

BuzzFlash Romney Rebuked by British Prime Minister for Mitt's Gaffe-Gate in London Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "The Vancouver Sun of Canada headlined a story, 'Team Romney earns gaffe gold in Britain: Criticism of Olympics rankles British PM, while one blog Tweets Romney "kind of like Mr. Bean."' A Daily Mail UK reporter also tweeted that Whitehall sources called Romney's performance 'worse than Sarah Palin' and a 'total car crash.' It was one diplomatic pratfall after another for the man who would be president, and on his heralded foreign policy debut tour as candidate for the White House."

His name has come to symbolize the ongoing struggle against police violence in poor black and brown communities, for which authorities are almost never held to account. In Anaheim, where tension between police and the Latino community has been building for years, Diaz is the match that lit the fire which has spread throughout the city." Read the Article  "Voluntary" Work Program Run in Private Detention Centers Pays Detained Immigrants $1 a Day Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "In private prisons around the country, immigrants languishing in detention centers are being put to work by profit-making companies like the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) for far below the minimum wage. For doing a range of manual labor in the facility, the immigrants, many of whom are not legally permitted to work in the United States, are paid between $1-$3 a day." Read the Article  The Man Who Invented "Too Big to Fail" Banks Finally Recants - Will Obama or Romney Follow? Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "If any single person is responsible for Wall Street banks becoming too big to fail it's Sandy Weill.... Weill created the business model that Wall Street uses to this day - unleashing traders to make big, risky bets with other people's money that deliver gigantic bonuses when they turn out well and cost taxpayers dearly when they don't. And Weill made a fortune - as did all the other executives and traders." Read the Article  Iraq: After the Americans Sebastian Walker, Al Jazeera English: "In keeping with Barack Obama's presidential campaign promise, the US has withdrawn its troops from Iraq and by the end of 2012 US spending in Iraq will be just five per cent of what it was at its peak in 2008.... Now that US troops have left, how are Iraqis overcoming the legacy of violence and toxic remains of the US-led occupation, and the sectarian war it ignited? Is the country on the brink of irreparable fragmentation?" Watch the Video and Read the Article  Syrian Helicopters Fire on Aleppo as Army Prepares for Possible Assault Rick Gladstone, Neil MacFarquhar and Kareem Fahim, The New York Times News Service: "Syrian Army helicopters fired on neighborhoods in Aleppo on Friday morning, activists said, as the army readied assault troops and armored columns for a possible invasion of the city, Syria's densely populated commercial capital, where insurgents have embedded themselves over the past week in preparation for a battle." Read the Article  It's Time to Lay the Groundwork for Radical, Systemic Change Gar Alperovitz, Democracy Collaborative: "They called it 'Black Monday' - the day in 1977 when five thousand workers at the Youngstown Sheet and Tube plant in Ohio were told the mill was going to close.... Gerald Dickey was the first to have the idea: 'There are skills and men here who know how to make steel. Why don't we set this up as a company that we ourselves own - we could do it jointly with the community.' That was the start of a major fight." Read the Excerpt  Paul Krugman | The Curious Case of Denmark Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "Last fall, when the first wave of speculative attacks on the euro system was under way, I noted the peculiar safe-haven status of Denmark, which was able to borrow at much lower rates than seemingly comparable euro countries like Finland, even though Denmark's currency is pegged to the euro.... Anyway, what's happening in Denmark is an indication of just how severe the euro crisis is - so severe that people are willing to pay to have their money stored somewhere else." Read the Article  How Will the 99% Deal With 70 Million Psychopaths? Joe Brewer, Cognitive Policy Works: "Did you know that roughly one person in a hundred is clinically a psychopath? ... These people are more likely to be risk takers, opportunists motivated by self-interest and greed, and inclined to dominate or subjugate those around them through manipulative means. Last year, the Occupy Movement drew a distinction between the top 1% and the remaining 99% - as distinguished by measures of wealth and income. Now the real defining metric reveals itself: 1% of the global population is comprised of people who exhibit psychopathic tendencies." Read the Article  Austerity, Adjustment and Social Genocide: Political Language and the European Debt Crisis Andrew Gavin Marshall, Andrew Gavin Marshall's Blog: "Political language functions through euphemism, by employing soft-sounding or simply meaningless words to describe otherwise monstrous and vicious policies and objectives. In the European debt crisis, political language employed by politicians, economists, technocrats and bankers is designed to make policies which create poverty and exploitation appear to be logical and reasonable.... To understand political language, one must translate it." Read the Article  Con Ed Workers Back on the Job; Company Maintains Hard Line Mark Brenner, Labor Notes: "Locked out utility workers are returning to work after a four-week standoff with Consolidated Edison, New York City's electricity provider, after state politicians stepped into the high-profile dispute ... Union spokesman John Melia bristled at the Governor's public statements pointing the finger at the union as well as the company. 'To hold us accountable when Con Ed locked us out? Is the governor serving Con Ed and the board of directors or is he serving all of the people of New York?' Melia said." Watch the Video and Read the Article

Click here to view this and past newsletters online. Please add "messenger@truthout.org" to your email contacts to ensure delivery. To all of our readers and donors - thank you so much for helping us get extremely close to our fundraising goal! The Truthout community continues to empower this organization. For that, we are humbled and deeply grateful. Wednesday 25 July 2012 Paul Krugman: A Nation Is Not a Business Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "President Obama gets this exactly right: 'When some people question why I would challenge [Mitt Romney's] Bain record ... if you're a head of a large private equity firm or hedge fund, your job is to make money. It's not to create jobs. It's not even to create a successful business - it's to make sure that you're maximizing returns for your investor.' A country is not a company - and it's definitely not a private equity firm." Read the Article Michael Moore | It's the Guns - but We All Know, It's Not Really the Guns Michael Moore, Michael Moore's Web Site: "In modern times, nearly every nation has had a psychopath or two commit a mass murder, regardless of how strict their gun laws are - the crazed white supremacist in Norway one year ago Sunday, the schoolyard butcher in Dunblane, Scotland, the Ecole Polytechnique killer in Montreal, the mass murderer in Erfurt, Germany ... the list seems endless.... But here's the difference between the rest of the world and us: We have TWO Auroras that take place every single day of every single year!" Read the Article Did the San Francisco Police Department Get Away With an Execution? J.A. Myerson, Truthout: "Last week, a San Francisco police officer shot 32-year-old Pralith Pralourng to death on Pralourng's lunch break. Pralourng, an Oakland man of Thai descent, was suspected of having slashed a friend of his with a box cutter at their job in a chocolate factory on the San Francisco peer. We have been offered two conflicting accounts of what happened ... right around the time the gun went off." Read the Article Romney Bundler a Registered Foreign Agent for Hong Kong Josh Israel, ThinkProgress: "Newly released lobbyist bundler disclosure records filed by the Mitt Romney campaign show that Tom Loeffler raised at least $17,500 in bundled contributions for the campaign over the first six months of 2012. Loeffler, a former Republican U.S. Representative from Texas and a lobbyist at Akin Gump represents a wide array of domestic clients ... but a review of Foreign Agent Registration Act reveals that Loeffler registered in February as a registered agent for a foreign government: the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC)." Read the Article Canadian Mining Goliaths Devastate Mexican Indigenous Communities and Environment David Bacon, Truthout: "For over two decades in many parts of Mexico, large corporations - mostly foreign owned but usually with wealthy Mexican partners - have developed huge projects in rural areas. Called mega-projects, the mines and resource extraction efforts take advantage of economic reforms and trade treaties like the North American Free Trade Agreement. Emphasizing foreign investment, even at the cost of environmental destruction and the displacement of people, has been the development policy of Mexican administrations since the 1970s." Read the Article The Other ALECs' K-12 Education Agenda Exposed Sarah Blaskey and Steve Horn, Truthout: "For over 30 years, corporate America and its allies on both sides of the political aisle have carried out an assault on US workers, pushing down wages, slashing benefits and busting unions.... Public schools have become the centerpiece of the struggle. Through an array of recent policy initiatives, influential policy wonks are attempting to restructure education fundamentally. According to Jesse Hagopian, a teacher and union activist in Seattle, part of this restructuring process is happening through model bills being enacted systematically in statehouses nationwide." Read the Article On the News With Thom Hartmann: Millions of Americans Will Not Have Access to Health Insurance Under the Affordable Care Act Thanks to the Supreme Court's Recent Decision, and More In today's On the News segment: Millions of Americans will not have access to health insurance under the Affordable Care Act thanks to the Supreme Court's recent decision; Senate Democrats are now openly promoting the idea of a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United; gun sales in Colorado have gone through the roof; and more. Watch the Video and Read the Transcript Alexander Cockburn and the Radical Power of the Word John Nichols, The Nation: "Alex shared Tom Paine's faith in the necessity of information and insight, of speaking truth to power; this, he knew, to be the essential element for building the activism that would begin the world over again. He was a radical democrat who believed ultimately in the power of the people to overturn the corruptions of empire that politicians and the corporate media would otherwise keep in place." Read the Article Fed Leaning Closer to New Stimulus if No Growth Is Seen Binyamin Appelbaum, The New York Times News Service: "A growing number of Federal Reserve officials have concluded that the central bank needs to expand its stimulus campaign unless the nation's economy soon shows signs of improvement, including job growth.... Mr. Bernanke and other Fed officials are convinced that such a step would further drive down long-term interest rates and improve the pace of economic growth, but they are concerned that the benefits would be modest and the costs uncertain." Read the Article Yes, Blame the NRA for the Movie Theater Shooting in Colorado Peter Dreier, Truthout: "The NRA has two knee-jerk responses to [gun control]. The first is that the Second Amendment gives all Americans the right to possess guns of all kinds ... The second is the cliche that 'guns don't kill people, people kill people.' To the NRA, gun laws have nothing to do with the epidemic of gun-related killings. Both of these arguments are bogus, but the NRA has the money and membership (four million) to translate these idiot ideas into political clout to thwart even reasonable gun control laws." Read the Article Legislators Solicit Corporate Cash to Attend ALEC Utah Meeting Sara Jerving, PRWatch: "Through ALEC 'scholarships,' corporations can funnel gifts to ALEC politicians in the form of flights, hotel rooms, and other perks so they can attend ALEC conferences, which are often held at fancy resorts and look a lot like a vacation. Once at the conference, corporations and legislators vote as equals to approve ALEC 'model' bills which in many cases benefit the same corporations that funded the legislators' travel costs."

That legacy is still a part of current American politics as white entitlement and racial superiority still play a key role in electoral politics for many."

Click here to view this and past newsletters online. Please add "messenger@truthout.org" to your email contacts to ensure delivery. Friday 20 July 2012 Why Are Working People Invisible in the Mainstream Media? Amy Dean, Truthout: "I spoke with [Barbara] Ehrenreich about this crisis of economic insecurity, about the invisibility of working people in the mainstream media and about the current state of journalism. That working people are chronically underrepresented in the media - even in times of economic downturn - is a sad reality readily apparent to anyone who has surveyed the American news landscape. Given this, I asked Ehrenreich if she thought this problem has been a constant, or if has it gotten worse in recent years." Read the Article Twelve Killed in Shooting at Colorado Theater Michael S. Schmidt, Timothy Williams and J. David Goodman, The New York Times News Service: "A gunman armed with three weapons, including a rifle, opened fire in a theater crowded with families and children at a midnight showing of the Batman movie 'The Dark Knight Rises' in a Denver suburb early Friday morning, killing at least 12 people and wounding at least 38 others, the local police and federal officials said." Read the Article Titanic Banks Hit LIBOR Iceberg: Will Lawsuits Sink the Ship? Ellen Brown, Truthout: "At one time, calling the large multinational banks a 'cartel' branded you as a conspiracy theorist. Today, the banking giants are being called that and worse, not just in the major media but in court documents intended to prove the allegations as facts.... Damning charges have already been proven and major damages and penalties assessed. Conspiracy theory has become conspiracy fact." Read the Article Border Posts Fall Into the Hands of Syrian Rebels Neil MacFarquhar and Tim Arango, The New York Times News Service: "Rebel fighters in Syria, building on the momentum gained by their brazen assassination of three top security officials a day earlier, seized all four border crossings with Iraq and one into Turkey on Thursday, while also claiming for the first time to have captured a pocket of Damascus after intense street fighting." Read the Article Review of Henry Giroux's Twilight of the Social: Resurgent Publics in the Age of Disposability Alexander Means, Truthout: "Giroux has long been one of the most articulate and impassioned voices in cultural criticism. In 'Twilight of the Social,' he turns his sights on the historical crisis of neoliberalism, its human casualties and how current global political movements might point toward a renewal of democratic life in the United States and beyond. 'Twilight of the Social' unfolds over an introduction and five chapters that each read like short thematic essays." Read the Article Police Kill Suspect; Occupy SF Activists Falsely Linked J.A. Myerson, Truthout: "Once again, the media have ... falsely insinuated that Occupy was somehow involved in a killing. A San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) officer shot a 32-year-old Oakland man, Pralith Pralourng, to death, garnered articles from Bay Area media sources consisting of little more than the account offered by SFPD Chief Greg Suhr. In fact, the only way Occupy SF was involved in the shooting was by beating Huffington Post and the rest of the press to the scene." Read the Article "Seconds Away From Midnight": US Nuclear Missile Pioneers on Okinawa Break 50-Year Silence on a Hidden Nuclear Crisis of 1962 Jon Mitchell, The Asia-Pacific Journal: "In October 1962, the United States and the Soviet Union teetered on the brink of nuclear war after American spy planes discovered that the Kremlin had stationed medium-range atomic missiles on the communist island of Cuba ... Six months prior to the Cuban Missile Crisis, however, a parallel drama had played out on the other side of the world as the US secretly brought near-identical missiles to the ones the Russians stationed on Cuba to another small island - Okinawa." Read the Article Paul Krugman | Why Iceland Is a Success Story Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "The Council on Foreign Relations people take me to task in a blog post titled '"Iceland's Post-Crisis Miracle" Revisited' for measuring economic performance in Iceland and the Baltics relative to the pre-crisis peak, which they suggest is some kind of scam. Why not measure relative to the post-crisis trough, under which the Baltics look better? So let's try this slowly." Read the Article The Problem Isn't Outsourcing. It's that the Prosperity of Big Business Has Become Disconnected From the Well-Being of Most Americans Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog: "The American economy has moved way beyond outsourcing abroad or even 'in-sourcing.' Most big companies headquartered in America don't send jobs overseas and don't bring jobs here from abroad. That's because most are no longer really 'American' companies. They've become global networks that design, make, buy, and sell things wherever around the world it's most profitable for them to do so." Read the Article Migration and Racism: A Southern European Perspective Peter Mayo, Truthout: "The Mediterranean has become a hotbed of human trafficking and carnage resulting from desperate attempts by people from Africa to flee famine, civil wars and trade their belongings to trust their luck in crossing over to Europe in pursuit of a better life. Migration has, however, been a constant characteristic of this region of the world which has constantly raised a series of issues concerning cultural hybridization and the way different people are represented, as well as different forms of racism based on cultural and historical ignorance."
