Description:
Harry Reid: Senate Bill Will Include Public Option Plan Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has announced the Senate healthcare reform bill will include a public health insurance plan that states can choose to opt out of. Sen. Harry Reid: “As we’ve gone through this process, I’ve concluded—with the support of the White House, Senators Dodd and Baucus—that the best way to move forward is to include a public option with the opt-out provision for states. Under this concept, states will be able to determine whether the public option works well for them and will have the ability to opt out, if they so choose. I believe that a public option can achieve the goal of bringing meaningful reform to our broken system. It will protect consumers, keep insurers honest, and ensure competition. And that’s why we intend to include it in the bill that we submitted—that will be submitted to the Senate.” The Washington Post reports the opt-out provision was engineered by New York Senator Charles Schumer as a compromise between moderates who want a smaller government role and liberals who prefer a single-payer system. The Democratic leadership must now scramble to secure the sixty votes needed to pass the measure. While details of how states could opt out of the system are unclear, it likely means that millions of Americans may never have a chance to enroll in a government-run health insurance plan because of Republican opposition. A combined total of 154 million people, or 51 percent of the population, live in states where Republicans control the governor’s mansion or the state legislature. Massey Energy Begins Blasting Coal River Mountain In West Virginia, Massey Energy has begun blasting operations on Coal River Mountain despite deep opposition from environmental groups and critics of mountaintop removal mining. Coal River Mountain is the last intact mountain on the historic Coal River Mountain range. All of the other mountains have been blown up by coal companies. Jeff Biggers, author of the book The United States of Appalachia: “Residents in the Coal River Valley in West Virginia were shocked last Friday to hear the rattle of explosives and see plumes of smoke rise above Coal River Mountain. According to news reports on Monday, Massey Energy has clearcut the lush forest and blasted part of the historic ridge in the first leg of a 6,000-acre mountaintop removal mine. For advocates across Appalachia and citizens group across the nation, the impending mountaintop removal operation on Coal River Mountain amounts to a final showdown between out-of-state coal companies and the state of coalfield residents.” Activists had proposed to save the mountaintop and turn it into a wind farm, a proposal which was seen by many as a model for sustainable green economic development. Anti-mountaintop removal activists are now calling on President Obama to halt the mining operation and save Coal River Mountain. US Official Resigns over War in Afghanistan The former top American civilian working in the Zabul province of Afghanistan has resigned from the Foreign Service to protest the Afghan war. Matthew Hoh said he quit because he had come to believe the war was simply fueling the insurgency and that the United States is asking its troops to die for what is essentially a far-off civil war. In his resignation letter, Hoh wrote, “I have doubts and reservations about our current strategy and planned future strategy, but my resignation is based not upon how we are pursuing this war, but why and to what end.” Hoh is a thirty-six-year-old former Marine who fought in the Iraq war. He is the first US official known to resign in protest over the Afghan war. Monday Marked Deadliest Day for US in Afghanistan in Four Years Meanwhile, President Obama said Monday he will not rush his decision about whether to send more troops to Afghanistan, where fourteen Americans died yesterday in the deadliest day for US forces in more than four years. Ex-AIG CEO Is Back with New Insurance Venture The New York Times reports that former AIG CEO Maurice Greenberg is quietly building up a family of insurance companies that could compete with his former company. To fill the ranks of his venture, C.V. Starr & Company, Greenberg has been hiring some people he once employed. One insurance executive said, “Basically, he’s just starting ‘A.I.G. Two’ and raiding people out of ‘A.I.G. One.‘” People who work in the industry said Greenberg may soon be siphoning off AIG’s business and, therefore, its means to repay its debt to the government. AIG was the recipient of the biggest taxpayer bailout in history. Showdown in Chicago Continues Outside Bankers Meeting In other financial news, protests are continuing in Chicago outside the American Bankers Association convention. Sheila Bair, the chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, spoke to both the protesters and bankers on Monday. At a rally before thousands of activists, Bair voiced support for the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency. Sheila Bair: “By regulating the non-bank shadow sector for the first time, this new agency can help prevent future abuses. I hope we see other measures taken that will create a more resilient, transparent and better regulated financial system, including an end to the ‘too big to fail’ doctrine. Yes, no more bailouts. No more bailouts." UN Urges US Engagement in Climate Change Deal During a stop in Seattle, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on the US Senate to pass a bill limiting carbon emissions. Moon said such a bill will encourage other nations to act to fight climate change. Janos Pasztor, the director of the Secretary-General’s Climate Change Support Team: “There are reports of a new poll in the United States that indicates that interest and support for action on climate change may actually be declining. The Secretary-General sees US engagement as vital for a climate change deal, a point he made in an op-ed today and in interviews since Seattle. He stated that we cannot afford another period where the US stands on the sidelines.” Canadian Climate Activists Disrupt House of Commons In Canada, about 200 young people staged a protest inside the House of Commons Monday forcing lawmakers to shut down the question period. The activists were calling on the Canadian Parliament to pass a bill setting out deep cuts in carbon emissions. Six people were reportedly detained, and the police beat at least one protester. Amnesty: Israel Denies Palestinians Access to Water Amnesty International has accused the Israeli government of preventing Palestinians from receiving enough water in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Israel controls much of the West Bank’s water supplies, pumping from an aquifer that bridges Israel and the territory. Amnesty International’s Donatella Rovera called on Israel to distribute the region’s water resources in a fair manner. Donatella Rovera: “Palestinians are having access to four times less water than Israelis, and for some Palestinian communities it’s ten times less water for the Palestinians than the Israelis. To put an end to the situation where Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories, which are unlawful under international law, have swimming pools and green lawns and irrigated fields, and the Palestinians do not have enough water even for drinking and for basic domestic needs.” US Officials to Travel to Honduras Senior US officials will travel to Honduras this week to press ousted President Manuel Zelaya and the country’s coup leaders to break a stalemate in a four-month-old political crisis. This marks the first time since the coup that the Obama administration has taken a leading role in pressuring the leaders of the de facto government to restore democratic order in Honduras. On Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke with both Zelaya and Honduras’s de facto leader, Roberto Micheletti. Officials said Clinton told the two leaders that there was “increasing frustration” over the deteriorating situation in Honduras. Clinton is said to have reserved her toughest comments for Micheletti, because the United States believes he has been “the most difficult.” Fidel Castro’s Sister Admits She Spied for CIA In other news from the region, Fidel and Raul Castro’s sister has admitted she spied on her brothers for the CIA in the 1960s. Juanita Castro disclosed her role as a spy in a new memoir. Juanita initially hailed the Cuban revolution but later became disillusioned by the actions of her brothers. Chamber of Commerce Sues Yes Men for Prank The US Chamber of Commerce has sued the Yes Men, after the political pranksters impersonated the organization. The Yes Men staged a fake press conference at the National Press Club last week to announce that the Chamber was changing its stance on climate change and supporting capping greenhouse gas emissions. Several news outlets, including Reuters, CNBC and Fox Business Channel, reported the policy change as fact before issuing corrections. The Chamber is suing the Yes Men for misappropriating its logo and violating a host of related copyrights. Activists Protest Mercenary Trade Association Meeting And the International Peace Operations Association is holding its annual conference in Washington this week. The trade association represents mercenary groups and private military contractors, including DynCorp and Triple Canopy. A coalition of activist groups, including CODEPINK, Africa Action and the Hip Hop Caucus, are planning to hold a protest and forum today to counter the mercenary conference. Independent journalist Jeremy Scahill: “While these merchants of death are meeting in Washington, DC, human rights activists and other concerned people are going to be gathering to protest these mercenaries. And we’re not only going to be addressing the use of mercenaries in Afghanistan and Iraq, which we know well is continuing unabated, but also the use of mercenary forces on the African continent, which is a story that basically never makes it into the corporate media. There are mercenaries that, once again, are operating in the Congo, in Somalia, in the conflict in Ethiopia and Eritrea. And so, we’re gathering to try to shut down this whole privatized war apparatus and to raise awareness of this Bush administration policy that the Obama administration is continuing and escalating.”

PBS Wide Angle - Victory Is Your Duty August 12 2009

Category: News & Current Affairs
Description:
PBS Wide Angle - Victory Is Your Duty August 12 2009 About the Issue In the past seven Olympic Games, Cuba, an island nation with a population of 11 million people, has dominated the sport of boxing: 63 medals, 32 of them gold. Boxing has held a special place of honor in Cuban society since the revolution, not least because Castro has deployed the nation’s athletes as an unconventional tool of foreign and domestic policy. Sport propels the nation onto the world stage - allowing it to break out of economic and political isolation into a very public and superficially apolitical arena. While the country has never had the military might to challenge the U.S., it has found a way to compete inside the ropes of the boxing ring. Now, as Castro’s faltering health has thrown the future into question, Cuba’s athletes, as well as the rest its citizens will face a crucial time of transition. While the shift of power from Fidel to his brother Raul seems to have gone smoothly, there are some indications that changes in economic policy may lie on the horizon. About the Film WIDE ANGLE gains intimate access to the Havana Boxing Academy on the outskirts of Cuba’s capital. There, from the tender age of nine, boys hand-picked as future Olympians are molded into soldiers of the ring. They live and train at the academy with a single purpose: to bring home Olympic gold. Victory Is Your Duty follows the boys’ dramatic path over eight months of training, schooling and boarding as they build up to the biggest event of their lives — the annual National Boxing Championships. For the summer 2009 re-broadcast, WIDE ANGLE host Aaron Brown travels to Miami, Florida, to tell the story of what happens when graduates of Havana’s boxing academies grow up – and defect to the United States. The boxers tell of the triumphs and obstacles they faced in Cuba and continue to face as they pursue a professional career in the rough-and-tumble world of American boxing. This episode of Wide Angle is the precursor to the theatrical film Sons of Cuba.

Nadprodukcja: Terror konsumpcji [PL]

Category: Documentary
Description:
produkcja: Szwecja gatunek: Dokumentalny rok produkcji: 2003 czas trwania: 51min reżyseria Erik Gandini, Johan Söderberg http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368314/ Runtime:Sweden:54 min | Argentina:54 min (Mar del Plata Film Festival) Country:Sweden Language:Swedish | Spanish | English and english hardsub on screen!! Film porusza temat społeczeństwa konsumpcyjnego, jego zachowań, celów i braku szczęścia mimo możliwości zaspokojenia wszystkich materialnych potrzeb. Autorzy filmu stawiają zasadnicze pytania: - Dlaczego powszechnie obowiązujący konsumpcyjny styl życia wzbudza tyle sprzeciwów i wznieca rewolty antyglobalistów na całym świecie? - Dlaczego przywilej robienia zakupów i dokonywania wyborów konsumenckich nie prowadzi automatycznie do szczęścia? - Skąd bierze się poczucie pustki i osamotnienia jednostek pomimo materialnej zasobności społeczeństw zachodnich? Ten brawurowo montowany dokument (użyto w nim metaforycznie zdjęć z manifestacji alterglobalistów w Genui) do pewnego momentu wydaje się wykładem poglądów radykalnego krytyka ideologii konsumpcji Johna Zerzana. Film wskazuje jednak również innego ideologa, Fidela Castro, realizującego w karykaturze, na żywym społeczeństwie ideę świata bez rynku. Efekt tego zderzenia jest ironiczny, niepokojący. Dokument współgra ze światowym fermentem ostatnich lat, z ożywieniem ruchów społecznych nowego typu. Ich wspólnym mianownikiem jest potrzeba wyrwania się z letargu. Poszukiwanie idei innej niż konsumpcja, niepodobnej do skompromitowanych ideologii XX wieku. Wreszcie - poczucie wyobcowania w świecie unifikowanym przez wielkie korporacje, a zarazem rozdzieranym przez lokalne fundamentalizmy.

Bulletproof Salesman (2008)

Category: Documentary
Description:
******************************************************************************* Bulletproof Salesman ******************************************************************************* Year.................: 2008 Duration.............: 70 minutes Genre................: Documentary Fidelis Cloer is a self-confessed war profiteer who found The Perfect War when the US invaded Iraq. It wasn't about selling a dozen cars, or even a hundred, it was a thousand-car war where security would become the ultimate product. It is a troubling film about a man who makes it his business to make money as a war profiteer and is proud of it. German war profiteer Fidelis Cloer clearly enjoys his work selling armored cars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a microcosm of the capitalist system. He exists to make money and war is simply an extension of business to him. He wants to make the best product and sell it and thus protect his clients. He doesn't seem to care that his products are used as part of a war machine. He seems to have no political conscience or concern. He went to Iraq at the beginning of the war in 2003, because he believed things would get worse and there would be an opportunity to profit.

Surplus (2003)

Category: Documentary
Description:
Surplus (2003) Origem: Suécia Direção: Erik Gandini Um excelente documentário, senão o melhor, sobre os contrastes entre as sociedades capitalista e socialista. Neste, é colocado em cheque um valor tido como essencial na sociedade capitalista: o consumismo. Sem fazer apologia aos valores socialistas, o documentário apresenta a sociedade capitalista como desvantajosa em seus fundamentos morais. Assim, Surplus é uma intensa odisséia visual pela destrutiva cultura do consumismo. Nesta bonita e curta jornada pelo mundo, o diretor explora o assunto através de muitas músicas e imagens. Utilizam-se, por exemplo, do famoso discurso do ex-presidente dos Estados Unidos, Bush, onde ele encoraja o consumismo desenfreado, e cenas do ex-chefe político de Cuba, Fidel Castro. O ponto de partida para toda esta abordagem é o espanto de todos diante dos sucessivos protestos como os registrados em Gênova em 2001. O documentário indaga sobre o motivo pelo qual o estilo de vida consumista tem causado a ira da poulação em diversos pontos do planeta.

Hugo Chavez - Biography - Judith Levin - 2007 (Audio Book)

Category: eBooks, Magazines, Audio Books
Description:
Hugo Chávez by Judith Levin 2007 Biography of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez, who was first elected in 1998 and labeled "a negative force" by the American government. Highlights Chávez’s use of his country’s oil reserves and discusses his relationships with Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, and leaders in Iran. Synopsis Despite being elected by the largest majority of any president in Venezuela's 40-year history of democracy, Hugo Chavez has faced determined opposition from within Venezuela and also the United States. The supporters of his left-wing government see him as the first Venezuelan leader who truly represents the majority of people in this very poor country. The opposition believes he is dismantling the country's democratic institutions and becoming the latest in a long history of military dictators. Colorful and outspoken, the organizer of a 1992 attempted coup d'etat against the government and the target of one in 2002, Chavez is one of the most polarizing figures in modern politics. Both passionately hated and steadfastly loved by Venezuelans, he is feared by the United States for his ties to Cuba's Fidel Castro, his Socialist ideals, and his control of an important source of the world's oil. Whether he is a liberator of the people or a power-hungry agitator remains to be seen, but he is certain to attract controversy.
