Michael Parenti: The Pathology of Wealth

The first talk of 2012 by the social critic and noted author Michael Parenti fits perfectly into the debates of the time, that of the 1% versus the 99% and the finally no longer taboo question: What exactly is CAPITALISM? Parenti is debunking some of the myths of capitalism: That it creates jobs, peace, democracy and wealth. After debunking some of the myths of capitalism, that it creates jobs, peace, democracy and wealth for all, Parenti describes the pathologies of the system by its inability to respond to climate change. Quoting a businessman in a New Yorker cartoon he reads: “While the end of the world scenario will be rife with unimaginable horrors, ..the pre-end period will be filled with unprecedented opportunities.” Also in this segment arguments for the benefits of socialism in areas of our lives that should not be managed under the profit system. He lists health care, energy, and transportation.

Michael Parenti spoke on January 6, 2012, at the La Pe a Cultural Center in Berkeley, CA. He is one of the nation’s leading progressive political analysts. Raised in a working class district of New York City, Parenti went on to earn a Ph.D. in political science from Yale. He lost his chance at an academic career when he was beaten and arrested during one of the many rallies against the war on Vietnam that he attended. Parenti is the author of over 20 books, among them: Democracy For the Few, History as Mystery, and, most recently, The Face of Imperialism. From A TUC Radio Presentation.

WHAT THE ABOLITIONISTS TEACH US ABOUT CHALLENGING CORPORATE RULE — Richard Grossman

This program is in remembrance of Richard Grossman, who died of cancer in November 2011. He was one of the great uncompromising, courageous thinkers and activists in the unfolding project to define, limit and abolish corporate power. Grossman was one of the first historians who called attention to the fact that corporations have become persons under the 14th amendment. He said: “If we are going to have pretense to a democracy, we cannot give political rights and powers to a private entity. We cannot let that private entity get so strong that it rewrites the laws, that it shapes the culture, that it shapes the education. It may be difficult to imagine a country that’s not dominated by giant corporations, but other people before us have imagined that … (and) left us many important mechanisms that we can use.”

Richard Grossman re-discovered the amazing history of the Abolitionists and this talk answers the question what it is that we can learn from them today.

Grossman spoke in Yellow Springs Ohio in November 2006. At that time he was working with CELDF, The Community Legal Defense Fund. Many remember him as an inspiring teacher at CELFD’s ongoing Democracy Schools.

HOW DO WE RESTORE PROSPERITY IN AMERICA? Tavis Smiley’s Panel

Record unemployment, corporate avarice, empty houses but homeless families, dwindling opportunities in a politically paralyzed nation. These are the realities of America, land of the free and home of the perennially poor and the new poor – the former middle class.
On January 12, 2012 broadcaster Tavis Smiley convened a panel of leading analysts and advocates, before a live audience, to explore how to restore prosperity in America.
Panelists discussed solutions for restoring America’s prosperity. Additionally, the participants discussed a forthcoming White Paper from Indiana University’s School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA), to be released in January, which reveals the “new poor” and how the face of poverty in America has changed. This live panel discussion was moderated by Tavis Smiley.
The panelists included:

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not)

DISMANTLING CORPORATIONS – Richard Grossman

Richard Grossman said: “.. corporations don’t have rights. Rights are for people. Corporations only have privileges, and only those that we the people bestow on them.” In a nutshell that was the essence of his research and teaching for the last 20 years.

Ralph Nader called him the “preeminent historian of corporations” and a new, inspiring reading of history was his special gift. Richard said that the American revolution was fought less against the crown but against the crown corporations. And he believed that it’s time to remember that fight and assert sovereignty of the people over the corporate state and ask: Why should the many be governed by the few?”

Begins with an intriguing archival speech on the history of corporations and ends with two important projects Grossman worked on just before his death, his contribution to the Occupy movement: A law to criminalize hydro-fracking and corporations as a class or group.

In the Preface to his 1993 pamphlet, Taking Care of Business, Richard wrote: “Corporations cause harm every day. Why do their harms go unchecked? How can they dictate what we produce, how we work, what we eat, drink and breathe? How did a self-governing people let this come to pass? – Corporations were not supposed to reign in the United States.”

In the last 15 years he had been an important member of POCLAD, the Project on Corporations, Law and Democracy and CELDF, the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. His lasting legacy are the Democracy Schools that continue to be taught across the country.

Richard died of melanoma on November 22nd, 2011, at a hospital in New York City, where he was born sixty-eight years earlier. From A TUC Radio Presentation.

Bill Moyers: Politics Today is Money Laundering _ on Economic Collapse Teach-in

Bill Moyers: Politics Today is Money Laundering

Moyers says: “Politics Today is Money Laundering and the Trafficking of Power and Policy” – and “why New York’s Zuccotti Park is occupied is no mystery. Reporters keep scratching their heads and asking: Why are you here? But it’s as clear as the crash of 2008: they are occupying Wall Street because Wall Street has occupied America.”

Bill Moyers, elder, intellectual, journalist and public broadcaster for four decades has know politics more intimately than most of his media colleagues. He was an organizing founder and deputy director of the Peace Corps, Special Assistant and then Press Secretary to President Lyndon Johnson and played a key role in organizing and supervising the 1964 Great Society legislative task forces.

Bill Moyers delivered the keynote address at Public Citizen’s 40th Anniversary celebration in October 2011. Public Citizen was co-founded by Ralph Nader, and now has over 225,000 members. Their motto is “defending democracy, resisting corporate power” .

(Moyers cut his speech short due to time constraints–the 2nd part of the show includes a reading of this important passage). This is a reading of Moyers’ concise and revealing mini history of the corporate takeover of America’s democracy, beginning with the infamous secret 1971 memo by Lewis Powell to his friends at the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. Powell soon became Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Moyers sums it up: “We look back on it now as a call to arms for class war waged from the top down… Within two years the board of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce formed a task force of 40 business executives – from U.S. Steel, GE, GM, Phillips Petroleum, 3M, Amway, and ABC and CBS. Their assignment was to defend the free enterprise system and push the corporate agenda. In 1971, only 175 firms had registered lobbyists in the capital; by 1982, nearly twenty-five hundred did. Corporate PACs increased from under 300 in 1976 to over twelve hundred by the middle of the l980s. Powell had set in motion a revolt of the rich.” From A TUC Radio Presentation.

Richard Wolff: Eurozone Woes Result from Mating of Our “Dysfunctional” Political, Economic Systems

European leaders are preparing to unveil their plans for addressing the sovereign debt crisis that’s threatened to tear apart the eurozone. Both France and Germany are expected to push for changes to the eurozone treaty, including centralized oversight of national budgets and tighter reins on debt. In a speech on Thursday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said radical changes are needed in order to save the euro. Sarkozy’s address came after central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank, took coordinated action to prevent a credit crunch among European banks. For more on the developing crisis in Europe and its implications worldwide, we are joined by economist and professor Richard Wolff. He is the author of several books, including “Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown and What to Do About It.” “The Fed is recognizing that another bailout is needed,” Wolff says. “All the steps taken over the last few years to try to cope with this crisis of our capitalist system haven’t worked, and so we’re now again on the brink of a crisis, and again public money and public institutions are bailing out a private banking system and a private enterprise system that is not working and is not solving its own problems.” Wolff continues, “The fundamental question is, you’ve got to deal with an economic system that isn’t working… You’ve got to take big steps that change the way this economic system works, or find a new system… It’s as though we have a dysfunctional economic system coupled to a now dysfunctional political system, and instead of fixing each other, these two systems are making each other in a kind of a spiral downturn.” [see transcript here] A Democracy Now Radio Presentation from 12-02-2011.

Occupy Wall Street People’s Hearing of Goldman Sachs

On November 3rd, the People, the 99 percent, will hold A People’s Hearing of Goldman Sachs in Liberty Square Park. The people will demand accountability from perhaps the single most egregious perpetrator of economic fraud and corruption in the United States. The Hearing will include testimonials from individuals directly affected by Goldman’s fraudulent manipulation of financial markets, including victims of housing foreclosures, pension losses, public lay-offs and untenable student debt.

The proceedings will also include expert analysis from Cornel West and Chris Hedges. Following the 99-minute hearing the people will decide on a fair and deliverable verdict via our own process of consensus-based direct democracy – and we intend to deliver it ourselves – to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs at 200 West Street, eight blocks from Liberty Square. We will ask for something our judicial and legislative systems have so far failed to deliver – the return of billions of taxpayer dollars to the 99 percent and criminal sentences for those Goldman Sachs executives who carried out the fraud. The event will be broadcast live via the Occupy Wall Street Livestream, among other public media outlets.

The People’s Hearing will examine the collapse of regulations and political and economic controls that permitted Goldman Sachs to loot the U.S. Treasury. It will look at how we came to live in a country where it became impossible to vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs. It will ask why Goldman Sachs was allowed to enrich itself not only at the expense of millions of small investors but through its control of the bailouts and the regulatory process. It will demand to know why Goldman Sachs, one of the prime culprits in the destruction of the global economy, is permitted to continue to bankrupt countries such as Greece, creating massive human suffering, without oversight or control. The People’s Hearing will finally give Goldman Sach’s victims a voice.

Rolling Stone columnist Matt Taibbi described Goldman Sachs as “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.”

The broad outlines of Goldman Sachs’ massive fraud are well documented. It put together a collaterized debt obligation (CDO) from mortgage-backed securities that the company assumed would fail. It sold these CDOs as assets and secure investments to pension and mutual funds as well as institutions and banks while betting against them through credit default swaps (CDS). A credit default swap, or CDS, is an insurance policy where the issuer makes up a loss if an asset goes bad. Goldman Sachs, in essence, sold toxic garbage to investors and when this garbage was exposed as garbage, wiping out tens of millions of individual investors who had put away money for retirement or college, Goldman Sachs raked in money from insurers. AIG, which insured these worthless CDOs, lacked sufficient funds to pay Goldman Sachs during the financial meltdown of 2008, a meltdown that evaporated some $ 40 trillion in worldwide wealth. Goldman Sachs, with numerous former officials ensconced in the Treasury department and government, simply looted the U.S. Treasury to pay itself. And they are sitting on our money to this day.

The firm has committed numerous acts of fraud that extend beyond our shores. Goldman Sachs was instrumental in helping Greek authorities hide its mounting government budget deficit by selling swaps to the Greek government in return for future revenue streams. The Greek government was able through this arrangement to mask the loan which would have raised its budget deficit above euro zone limits. The sleights of hand now threaten to see Greece go into default and could trigger a massive banking crisis through Europe. The crisis has seen the Greek government unleash draconian austerity measures that are taken out on the backs of students, the poor and the working class. Goldman Sachs is a global criminal syndicate.

Goldman Sachs, while its victims suffer from foreclosures and bankruptcy, has set aside $ 10 billion in compensation and bonuses for its chief executives this year. These bonuses are being paid out even as Goldman Sachs dismissed 1,300 employees with another 1,000 employees expected to lose their jobs by the end of the year. No one is safe from our oligarchic elite, not even the underlings at Goldman Sachs. We invite the newly unemployed from Goldman Sachs to join us.

The median paycheck in the United States, even while these corporate heads pulled in salaries that often equate to $ 900,000 an hour, fell by 1.2 percent to $ 26,364. The number of poor and unemployed is swelling while the number of Americans making $ 1 million or more climbed to 94,000, a 20 percent increase from 2009. Corporate profits now account for 88 percent of all income growth while wages account for 1 percent. The top one percent has, through fraud and the corporate control of the judiciary and regulatory agencies, accounted for about half of all income growth since the 1970s.

How is it possible that in a democracy the bottom 99 percent sees only half of economic growth? How is it possible that the economy does not work on behalf of the 99 percent? How is it possible that financial swindlers and liars continue to run our economy and our government?

CAPITALISM’S APOCALYPSE — Michael Parenti

CAPITALISM’S APOCALYPSE
Why the rich can’t save anybody – not even themselves.
Parenti predicted the financial crisis and said that giant corporate capitalism – by it’s very nature – is an apocalyptic system. When unregulated the built in elements of ever increased growth may well bring the whole system down. And he described the growing national debt not as a tragic mistake but as a means to shift ever more money from the tax payers to the financial institutions in the form of interest payments.

Wealth Gap Between Minorities and White Americans Doubles After Housing Crisis, Recession

A new study of U.S. census data reveals that wealth gaps between whites and minorities in the United States have grown to their widest levels since the U.S. government began tracking them a quarter-century ago. White Americans now have on average 20 times the net worth of African Americans and 18 times that of Latinos. According to the Pew Research Center, the gaps were compounded during the housing bust and the subsequent recession, and essentially wiped out much of the economic progress made by people of color over the past 20 years. We discuss the center’s study with Roderick Harrison, sociologist and demographer, and former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau. “Any hopes or aspirations, particularly based solely on Obama’s election, that we had reached some kind of post-racial state were close to delusional,” says Harrison. “This report is pointing to just how much the socioeconomic inequalities have been exacerbated by the recession and poor economy.” [see transcript here] From a Democracy Now Presentation.

Richard Wolff: Debt Showdown is “Political Theater” Burdening Society’s Most Vulnerable

Republicans have agreed to a vote today on a budget plan they say will cut the deficit $917 billion over 10 years. The move sets the stage for a showdown against unified Democratic opposition in the Senate and threats of a White House veto. To discuss the debt talks and economic austerity worldwide, we’re joined by Richard Wolff, Emeritus Professor of Economics at University of Massachusetts Amherst and author of several books, including “Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown and What to Do About It.” “This is political theater in which two parties are posturing for the election coming next year,” says Wolff. “To put it in perspective, the number of times the government has raised the debt ceiling since 1940? Ninety, almost twice a year. This is a normal, automatic procedure. Every president, Republican and Democrat, has asked for it.” [see transcript here] From a Democracy Now Presentation.

Pushing Crisis: GOP Cries Wolf on Debt Ceiling in Order to Impose Radical Pro-Rich Agenda

President Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner are allegedly close to a $3 trillion deficit-reduction package as part of a deal to raise the federal debt ceiling before an Aug. 2 deadline. But the deal is coming under fire from both congressional Democrats and Republicans. Part of it calls for lowering personal and corporate income tax rates, while eliminating or reducing an array of popular tax breaks, such as the deduction for home mortgage interest. Some Democratic lawmakers expressed outrage on Thursday because the Obama-Boehner agreement appears to violate their pledge not to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits, as well as Obama’s promise not to make deep cuts in programs for the poor without extracting some tax concessions from the rich. We’re joined by economist Michael Hudson, president of the Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends, a Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and author of “Super Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire.” [see transcript here] From a Democracy Now Presentation.

The Financial Hijacking of America — Ellen Brown

This is a talk about the trillion dollar bailout of the too large to fail banks. Brown has an intriguing theory that she sets out to prove: Congress was initially not very interested in a bailout of the banks and needed to be shown, she says, that the situation was serious and that more money than ever before had to flow from taxpayers and the Federal Reserve into the banking system.

Ellen Brown runs down the incidents that led to the collapse of Lehman Brothers. She asks whether Lehman was purposefully bombed with short and naked short sales, and then was left unsupported by fellow banks in order to prove to Congress and to us that the crisis was serious. She quotes from a NY Times headline: “Lehman had to die, it seems, so global finance could live.”

Ellen Brown warns us of the role of the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland. But most importantly she describes the Bank of North Dakota, an amazing, little known, highly successful state owned bank founded in 1919 and flourishing today. Then and now it is structured to bypass Wall Street. Brown suggests that California adopt that model to solve both the budget and the overall financial crisis – as 14 states are already planning to do. The website, is a major organizing tool in this intriguing effort to take power away from the commercial banks and Wall Street.

Ellen Brown is the author of Web of Debt, a book about the Federal Reserve. She shows how the private banking cartel has usurped the power to create money, and how we the people can take back that power. Here is her explanation how money is created.

Conversation between Noam Chomsky and Sasha Lilley about capitalism, empire and vision

Noam Chomsky and Sasha Lilley converse for the Boston launch of the book “Capital and Its Discontents– Conversations with Radical Thinkers in a Time of Tumult”. In an era of profound economic and ecological crisis, this book, that Sasha Lilley edited, unravels the dynamic contradictions at the heart of capitalism and points possible ways forward to a liberatory future. Through a series of incisive conversations with some of the most eminent thinkers and political economists on the Left—including Noam Chomsky, Tariq Ali, David Harvey, Ellen Meiksins Wood, Mike Davis, and Doug Henwood—Sasha Lilley examines the roots of the global economic meltdown, neoliberalism in the Global South and North, struggles against empire past and present, the eternal pendulum swing of social revolt, and the potentialities of the radical tradition in a time of austerity.Recording: Martin Voelker at Raven Books, Boston on 3-22-2011.

Ellen Hodgson Brown, escaping the global web of debt

Ellen Hodgson Brown discusses, Web of Debt, her book about the US Federal Reserve, the so called ‘Money Trust’, and global banking. What are derivatives? What went wrong with the global banking industry and how quickly can it be fixed?
Ellen Brown’s 2007 book, Web of Debt, outlined the state of global economic and banking systems, and explained that there simply wasn’t enough money to bail out the banks from a massive derivatives default.
The book was a warning that when investors finally realized that the “insurance” they purchased in the form of derivatives was worthless, they would jump ship and bring the whole shaky edifice crashing down. We also learn about the little known Bank for International Settlements, in Basil Switzerland, and the rules it has imposed on global markets such as the so-called, ‘mark to market rule.’
Finally we learn how North Dakota is an example for what all US states should do, start a state bank. North Dakota is solvent, well off in fact, while most US states are operating in the red. We could set up state banks in a matter of several months, and save enough on interest to bring all US states back into solvency.

Bernie Sanders: International Trade, Trade Deficit and Job Losses

We have not dealt with our disastrous trade policies which have encouraged large corporations to send jobs abroad. Just under Bush we went from 17 million manufacturing jobs to 12 million in 8 years. How do we survive as a strong industrial power? Today there are fewer manufacturing jobs than in April 1941. Senator Bernie Sanders, Independent, VT, high points from his Senate Filibuster. From A TUC Radio Production.

I’ve been talking about our national debt, $13.7 trillion and our deficit which is $1.4 trillion. But we cannot ignore our trade deficit. In 2008 it was nearly $700 billion. In 2009 our trade deficit with China alone was almost $227 billion. We are losing millions of good paying jobs, and the jobs we have are having a decline in wages and benefits.
We have not dealt with our disastrous trade policies which have encouraged large corporations to send jobs abroad. Just under Bush we went from 17 million manufacturing jobs to 12 million in 8 years. How do we survive as a strong industrial power? Today there are fewer manufacturing jobs than in April 1941. And those that are left in many cases pay less with fewer benefits that a few years ago.

Today – a frightening fact – entry level auto workers at GM and Chrysler now earn half as much as their peers made just one year ago. From $28 an hour they are now down to making $14 an hour. And if workers with a union make $14 what will workers earn without a strong union? And in the midst of all of that we run up a huge national debt, send jobs to China, give tax breaks to billionaires. We have to take on powerful special interests to turn this this thing around.

Capitalism Hits the Fan:
The Global Economic Meltdown — Richard Wolff

Richard Wolff Ph.D Economist gives a most informative talk entitled Capitalism Hits the Fan:The Global Economic Meltdown And What to Do About IT! Given at Brown University, Providence RI, December 2nd, 2009. From YouTube.com.

A review of his DVD Capitalism Hits the Fan on Amazon states:
With breathtaking clarity, renowned University of Massachusetts Economics Professor Richard Wolff breaks down the root causes of today’s economic crisis, showing how it was decades in the making and in fact reflects seismic failures within the structures of American-style capitalism itself. Wolff traces the source of the economic crisis to the 1970s, when wages began to stagnate and American workers were forced into a dysfunctional spiral of borrowing and debt that ultimately exploded in the mortgage meltdown. By placing the crisis within this larger historical and systemic frame, Wolff argues convincingly that the proposed government “bailouts,” stimulus packages, and calls for increased market regulation will not be enough to address the real causes of the crisis, in the end suggesting that far more fundamental change will be necessary to avoid future catastrophes.

Bernie Sanders: We Must Break up the Largest Banks

While taxpayers bailed out Wall Street banks because they were too big to fail, 3 out of 4 financial institutions that were bailed out are now larger than before. Wells Fargo is 43% bigger, JP Morgan Chase 51% bigger, and Bank of America is 138% bigger. If we are serious about preventing a future collapse worse than the current one we have to break these banks up, says Sanders.
This segment is filled with amazing facts in favor of a break up of these banks. Sander says: How did these banks become so large? During the collapse of Wall Street in 2008 Bank of America, which received a $45 billion taxpayer bailout, purchased Countrywide and Merrll Lynch. JP Morgan Chase received a $25 billion bailout from the Bush Treasury Department and a $29 billion bridge loan from the Federal Reserve, and acquired Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual. Wells Fargo got an $18 billion tax- break from Treasury to purchase Wachovia, allowing that bank to now control 11% of all bank deposits in this country. These three banks and CityBank now hold $7.4 trillion in assets. That is equal to over half (52%) of the nations estimated total output for 2009.

According to Simon Johnson, the former Chief Economist of the IMF, the largest 6 banks now have assets equal to 63% of GDP. This is a complete transformation from just 15 years ago when the largest 6 banks had combined assets of only about 17%. The largest banks have more than tripled in size.

The four largest US banks now issue one of every two mortgages, two out of three credit cards, and hold four out of every ten dollars in bank deposits. These banks now make more money than before and pay higher compensation to their CEOs.

If we are serious about getting the economy going again we have to do what Teddy Roosevelt did in the trust busting days and break these banks up, says Sanders.

Senator Bernie Sanders is an Independent from Vermont. From the BEST-OF from Sanders’ Senate Filibuster, Part THREE. TUC Radio Production.

Bernie Sanders: Secret Funding by the Federal Reserve & The War of the Rich Against the Poor

Bernie Sanders names names: In December 2010 the Federal Reserve finally disclosed their secret funding of banks, corporations and individuals during the Wall Street meltdown. The Fed. was forced to do so by legislation introduced by Bernie Sanders. Sanders reports on the “jaw dropping” size of $3.3 trillion in emergency loans and other assistance and more than $9 trillion in over 21,000 short-term loans and other financial arrangements the Federal Reserve handed out without input or supervision. The figures revealed dwarf the $700 billion Treasury Department bank bailout signed into law under President George W. Bush – which Sanders voted against.

During 8 years of Pres. Bush the wealthiest 400 families saw their income double while tax rates dropped almost in half. They now earn on average $345 million a year and pay an effective tax rate of 16.6% – that is the lowest tax rate ever. Collectively the 400 richest Americans have accumulated $1.27 trillion in wealth.

There is a war going on in this country, waged by some of the wealthiest and most powerful people against the working people and middle class. Billionaires want more and more. The income going to the top 1% nearly tripled since the 1970s. 80% of all new income earned from 1980 to 2005 has gone to the top 1%. But that is not enough.

We used to read about Banana Republics where a handful of families own most of the wealth – we are close to that. That’s not a democracy that’s the foundation of an oligarchic society.

The horrendous recession was caused by greed, recklessness and illegal behavior on Wall Street. They got bailed out. Two years later they are giving themselves more compensation than ever. (Sanders lists the CEOs of the largest banks.)

Many corporations and individuals avoid paying taxes. Some even get rebates. Last year EXXON Mobil, historically the most profitable corporation in the history of the world, had a bad year. They only made $19 billion in profit. They not only paid nothing in taxes but got a $156 million return from the IRS.

This show is compiled from Vermont’s independent Senator Bernie Sanders’ 8 1/2 hour filibuster speech in protest of the Bill that – among other gifts – extended tax breaks to the richest Americans, crashed the Senate servers. Bars and Pizza parlors carried his speech live.

He began speaking on the morning of Friday, December 10 and did not eat or sit down until 7 pm. He gave one of those speeches many wished Pres. Obama was capable of giving.

Even though – or really because the bill did pass both houses a few days later – Sanders’ words must be remembered. This bill, ironically called: Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 is an attack on social security and a blueprint for even larger gifts and tax relief to corporation and the richest of the rich.

The speech is also filled with fascinating details of the ongoing work by Bernie Sanders and a few colleagues. Sanders had led a fight against the powerful U.S. Federal Reserve and won, forcing the central bank to disclose more details than ever on its rescue actions during the financial crisis.

Last week we broadcast Part I with excerpts from Sen. Sander’s filibuster regarding Secret Funding and the Federal Reserve. This week’s broadcast comprises both parts I and II.

The Financial Hijacking of America — Ellen Brown

Ellen Brown, author of the Web of Debt, gives a talk about the trillion dollar bailout of the too large to fail banks. Brown has an intriguing theory that she sets out to prove: Congress was initially not very interested in a bailout of the banks and needed to be shown, she says, that the situation was serious and that more money than ever before had to flow from taxpayers and the Federal Reserve into the banking system. She then covers the little known but highly consequential role of the Bank for International Settlements in Switzerland which is not accountable to any national government. And the Bank of North Dakota, an amazing, little known, highly successful state owned bank founded in 1919 and flourishing today. She suggests that other states adopt that model to solve both the budget and the overall financial crisis.

Ellen Brown is the author of Web of Debt, a book about the Federal Reserve. She shows how the private banking cartel has usurped the power to create money, and how we the people can take back that power. From a TUC Radio Production. Thanks to Ken Jenkins and Hummux for the recording, and the 2010 Understanding Deep Politics Conference for the event.

The Criminalization of Poverty

This week we present the insightful 1992 speech The Criminalization of Poverty by writer and activist Sabina Virgo. She addresses the seemingly unstoppable consolidation of wealth and poses solutions to the unprecedented disparity between the wealthy and the rest of us.

In 2011, Americans are experiencing the worst economic stretch since the stock market crash of 1929.

For those of you who think that this unprecedented situation happened in a vacuum… we only had to search the Pacifica Archives going back to 1992 to find some lucid analysis.

In 1992, the United States had emerged from 12 years of Trickle-Down Reagan-omics where tax breaks were given to the rich and the wealthy were supposed to trickle down their newfound wealth to the rest of us…

What happened was the greatest disparity between the rich and the poor in American history… that is until now. In that same year, 1992, Educator, Writer and philosopher Poet Sabina Virgo, delivered a compelling address called The Criminalization of Poverty which outlined how American Economic Policy and deregulation of Industry created enormous wealth for corporate America, but at the same time was driving most Americans into poverty.

And for those of you who thought the 388 billion TARP bailout of Financial Institutions in 2008 never happened before, Sabina Virgo explains how bad economic policy allowed for the Savings and Loan Scandal which cost the taxpayers over 124 billion by 1992. We are going to play this visionary speech in just a minute but first we turn to a conversation Pacifica Archive’s Director Brian DeShazor had with Sabina Virgo in November 2010 to speak about the realities of living in a post Reagan-omic America and how things have only gotten worse almost 20 years later….

Obama’s place in the global expansion of Capital and the demise of the welfare state — Alexander Cockburn

Cockburn (pronounced: coburn) says that the current economic crisis is the outcome of the neoliberal age that began in the seventies by promoting corporate power and eviscerating social services. He alludes to the role presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II have played in this neo-liberal expansion and argues that Obama comes out in support of capital. From A TUC Radio Presentation.

Cockburn is co-editor, with Jeffrey Saint Clair, of the biweekly newsletter CounterPunch. He says about their newsletter, www.counterpunch.org, that it supports the battles against the war machine, big business and the rapers of nature. He and Saint Clair have also written or co-edited many books, among them Whiteout: The CIA, Drugs and the Press, Imperial Crusades, and: Dime’s Worth of Difference. Cockburn writes for The Nation and the Los Angeles Times.

Cockburn lives and works in Petrolia, a very small town in Northern California. He was recorded on December 3, 2010, in yet another small town on the ocean in Mendocino County on one his very rare public appearances.

Senator Sanders Filibusters Obama’s Tax Cut Compromise Extending Tax Cuts to the Wealthy

Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent who conferences with Senate Democrats, launched a filibuster on Friday December 11, 2010 against President Obama’s tax cut compromise with congressional Republicans. He got occasional help from other senators. Democrats Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Mary Landrieux of Louisiana came to the floor to assist him. Sanders has blasted the deal since it was announced earlier in the week because it extends the Bush-era tax cuts to all the income of the nation’s wealthiest. That extension, according to Sanders and many other liberals, is unfair to the poor and middle class and it will do nothing to boost the economy.

Alex Carey: Corporations and Propaganda

Alex Carey said that the people of the US have been subjected to an unparalleled, expensive, 3/4 century long propaganda effort designed to expand corporate rights by undermining democracy and destroying the unions. The 20th century, he wrote, is marked by three historic developments: the growth of democracy via the expansion of the franchise, the growth of corporations, and the growth of propaganda to protect corporations from democracy. Carey’s unique view of US history goes back to World War I and ends with the Reagan era.

Noam Chomsky dedicated his book “Manufacturing Consent” to the memory of Alex Carey. Chomsky says that the Australian sociologist would have written the definitive history of propaganda in the US, had he lived to complete his work. This is a fairly complex production with many voices, historic sound clips, and source material. The program has been used by writers and students of history and propaganda. Alex Carey: “Taking the Risk out of Democracy, Corporate Propaganda VS Freedom and Liberty” with a foreword by Noam Chomsky was published by the University of Illinois Press in 1995. From A TUC Radio Presentation.

Beginning with a surprising number of favorable reviews, including from the New York and Los Angeles Times, the film continues to expand attention in spite of its stark and scary message: A collapsing global financial system and the end of an abundant supply of oil are removing the underpinnings of the current economic system. Michael Ruppert says that human industrial civilization is collapsing, and that it becomes impossible to sustain the way of life we have been living. <http://www.mikeruppert.blogspot.com/>

Here is paraphrased, what Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in the New York Times after the premiere of the movie Collapse: Since 2001, Michael Ruppert has devoted his life, two books and a self-published newsletter, From the Wilderness, to connecting the dots between population, economics and energy, and concluding that the center will not hold. Lucidly and with weary conviction, he cites evidence for a declining global oil supply, like costly offshore drilling, and demolishes hopes pinned on substitutes like ethanol (“a complete joke”) and clean coal (“no such thing”). He is shockingly persuasive, and the majority of his premises are verifiable. – end of paraphrased NY Times review.

In this radio version of Collapse there is focus on Ruppert’s line of arguments around Peak Oil. There are several respected researchers who also argue that we have reached Peak, the halfway point between the discovery and the end of oil where oil companies take greater and greater risks to tap the last remaining oil fields – as the disastrous British Petroleum spill in the Gulf of Mexico shows.

Richard Heinberg, author of The Party is Over said about Ruppert’s most recent book: Confronting Collapse: “Ruppert has an unblemished track record for saying things that are incendiary, outrageous, shocking – and true. Our new president needs desperately to hear the uncomfortable message of this book about energy and the economy, and so do the rest of us.” From a TUC Radio Presentation. This show is complete comprising of both Part I and Part II. Part I aired here on May 29, 2010 by itself.

New $600B Fed Stimulus Fuels Fears of US Currency War– Michael Hudson

The Federal Reserve will pump $600 billion more into the US economy and keep interest rates at historical low levels. The short-term impact of the Fed’s move, known as quantitative easing, has been a jump in stock prices across the globe. Many nations, however, have accused the United States of waging a currency war by devaluing the dollar. We speak to former Wall Street economist and University of Missouri professor Michael Hudson. “The object of warfare is to take over a country’s land, raw materials and assets, and grab them,” Hudson says. “In the past, that used to be done militarily by invading them. But today you can do it financially simply by creating credit, which is what the Federal Reserve has done.” [read transcript here] See his website here. From A Democracy Now Presentation 11-5-2010.

Interview with economist and financial historian, Dr. Michael Hudson, discussing the largest financial theft in American history – the evolving giveaway to Wall Street criminals. We talk about the class war leading to depopulation, de-industrialization, poverty, and sharply increasing default and debt. The bailout offers no help to the economy. The only way to resolve the crisis is to write down the debt, and this is not being done. We discuss the IMF/World Bank, the end of foreign investment, Enron-style accounting, and the false cover story promulgated through media deception. The bailout is a gangland operation to pay the pals of Paulson. From A 2008 Guns & Butter Presentation, but still relevant today.

Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies and Global Economics

They say that growth will solve the financial crisis. GDP was invented by J.M. Keynes for Britain during WWII to pay for the war. Now is a mandatory accounting formula used by all nations. GDP counts only cash transactions, giving no value to peace and the environment.

This radio program is based on the audio of a documentary film with on location voices from Africa, North America, the Philippines, including subsistence farmers, arms merchants, sex traders and an interview with the late economist John Kenneth Galbraith.
Former New Zealand member of Parliament, author, feminist economist, professor and goat farmer Marilyn Waring gives a one hour critique of the concept of economic growth. Since powerful forces in banking and public policy are driving attempts to restore growth to solve the 2009 financial crisis it is so important to listen to the critics of growth.

Marilyn Waring said that the GDP system counts only cash transactions in the market. This means there is no value to peace, to the preservation of the environment, and no value to unpaid work. The GDP system leaves out half the population of the planet and the planet itself.

Marilyn Waring’s work and intriguing life is described in this 1996 documentary film by Terre Nash. I’m bringing back the audio of this film to support a debate on changing the current United Nations’ National Income Accounting system using the GDP.

The film, Marilyn Waring on Sex, Lies and Global Economics, is distributed by Bullfrog Films in Oley, Pennsylvania. Their website is www.bullfrogfilms.com/ From A TUC Radio Presentation.

Richard Heinberg: Peak Everything

I visited Heinberg in Sept. 2010 at a crucial moment. He had just written the new preface for his 2007 book Peak Everything, Waking Up to the Century of Declines. Analyzing the events of the past three years Heinberg writes in his update that the question of when we will reach the peak of the resources that we made ourselves dependent on has finally been answered – and the time is NOW. The economic crisis, he says, is not a dip from which we will recover. Humanity has achieved an unsustainable pinnacle of population size and consumption rates, and our species needs to learn right now to live within Earth’s resource limits. Richard Heinberg has influenced the work of those who are searching for a way out of today’s interlocking crisis of climate, finance and resource depletion. His best known book: The Party’s Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies was the first common sense explanation of the concept of Peak Oil, the point at which we reach maximum global oil production. From that peak point on the diminishing oil supplies are on a tragic collision course with the world wide pursuit of economic growth and consumption – as well as the seemingly unstoppable increase in population.

Stephen Zarlenga — THE AMERICAN MONETARY ACT
Solving the Financial Crisis by Monetary Reform

Congressman Dennis Kucinich has posted the following on his web site: “The U.S. monetary reform is urgently needed: It is long past time we look at the implications of . . . the privatization of money created by the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, the bank fractional reserve system and our debt-based economic system. Unless we have dramatic reform of monetary policy, the entire economic system will continue to accelerate wealth upwards. I am currently working on drafting legislation for an ‘American Monetary Act’ to address these and other issues in order to protect the economic well being of America.” Observers believe that this single measure has the potential of bringing together tens of millions of people who have realized that our bank-run debt-based monetary system lies at the center of the financial crisis. The question is of course – how are these tens of millions going to find out that there is such legislation being developed? Kucinich is working closely with Stephen Zarlenga, director of the American Monetary Institute and author of: The Lost Science of Money. I interviewed Zarlenga in May 2009 after his return from Washington, DC, where he had briefed members of Congress. A report on the briefing was done by Richard Cook. A TUC Radio Production

Balanced Budget Madness Hits Social Security with James Galbraith

The Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction Commission established by the President, will deliver an attack on Social Security & Medicare dressed up in sanctimonious rhetoric of deficit reduction. The Obama spending freeze is another sacrifice to the deficit gods. But, the deficit phobia of Wall St., the press, some economists and practically all politicians is one of the deepest dangers that we face. It’s not just the old and the sick who are threatened; we all are. To cut federal budget deficits w/o first rebuilding the economy is a sure path to stagnation, to a double-dip recession–even to a second Great Depression. Plus AFSCME Pres.

The Bilderberg Group — Alex Jones Interviews Daniel Estulin

“In 1954, the most powerful men in the world met for the first time under the auspices of the Dutch royal crown and the Rockefeller family at the luxurious Hotel Bilderberg in the small Dutch town of Oosterbeck. For an entire weekend, the debated the future of the world. When it was over, they decided to meet once every year to exchange ideas and analyze international affairs. They named themselves the Bilderberg Group. Since then, they have gathered yearly in a luxurious hotel somewhere in the world to try to decide the future of humanity. Among the select members of this club are Bill Clinton, Paul Wolfowitz, Henry Kissinger, David Rockefeller, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Tony Blair and many other heads of government, businessmen, politicians, bankers and journalists from all over the world,” writes journalist Daniel Estulin in the opening paragraph of the introduction to his must-read book, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group.
“Nevertheless, in the more than fifty years of their meetings, the press has never been allowed to attend, no statements have ever been released on the attendees’ conclusions, nor has any agenda for a Bilderberg meeting been made public,” Estulin notes.
For some 15 years, Estulin has been a thorn in the sides of the Bilderbergers, relentlessly hunting down their secret meeting places, gaining inside sources who divulge what goes on behind closed doors, even photographing attendees and publicly disclosing it all. Now he has put it all in a book that every person who values freedom and democracy should read. From a Book Review at Amazon.com.

for $550M—Less Than It Reportedly Expected, and With No Admission of Criminal Wrongdoing

Goldman Sachs has agreed to pay $550 million to resolve a civil fraud lawsuit over selling a mortgage investment that was established to fail. While the SEC hailed the $550 million settlement as the largest in Wall Street history, many outside analysts questioned why the government didn’t demand more. Investors responded favorably as Goldman Sachs shares jumped by five percent in late trading, adding far more to the firm’s market value than the amount it will have to pay in the settlement. We speak to Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone. [includes rush transcript]

The Food Bubble: How Wall Street Starved Millions and Got Away With It

While Goldman Sachs agreed to pay $550 million to resolve a civil fraud lawsuit filed by the SEC, Goldman has not been held accountable for many of its other questionable investment practices. A new article in Harper’s Magazine examines the role Goldman played in the food crisis of 2008 when the ranks of the world’s hungry increased by 250 million.

G20 Progressive Speakers Spark Hope!
‘G20 Shout Out’ with Amy Goodman, Naomi Klein, et al. On Friday, June 25, 2010…the night before the Toronto militarized police attacked the peaceful protesters at the G20, some of the most famous progressive and environmental speakers gave hope and a plan of action to a overflowing crowd at Massey Hall.

Speakers include Labour leader Leo Gerard, author and activist Amy Goodman, fair-trade advocate John Hilary, global corporate critic Naomi Klein, environmental activist Vandana Shiva, Bolivian ambassador to the UN Pablo Solon and Manitoba Cree activist Clayton Thomas-Muller.

These speakers spoke against a backdrop of the world leaders having started arriving for the G8 and G20 meetings amidst a massive security crackdown that marked the most expensive three days in Canadian history. Large swaths of Toronto’s downtown core had the appearance of a police state, with an estimated deployment of over 19,000 security personnel—nearly five times the number at the G20 in Pittsburgh last year. The security price tag was around $1 billion, and some predict the total summit cost will surpass $2 billion. Over 1000 protesters were arrested. Many were beaten. Among them were journalists.

Michael Ruppert says that human industrial civilization is collapsing, and that it becomes impossible to sustain the way of life we have been living. <http://www.mikeruppert.blogspot.com/>

Here is paraphrased, what Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in the New York Times after the premiere of the movie Collapse: Since 2001, Michael Ruppert has devoted his life, two books and a self-published newsletter, From the Wilderness, to connecting the dots between population, economics and energy, and concluding that the center will not hold. Lucidly and with weary conviction, he cites evidence for a declining global oil supply, like costly offshore drilling, and demolishes hopes pinned on substitutes like ethanol (“a complete joke”) and clean coal (“no such thing”). He is shockingly persuasive, and the majority of his premises are verifiable. – end of paraphrased NY Times review.

In this first part of the radio version of Collapse I focus on Ruppert’s line of arguments around Peak Oil. There are several respected researchers who also argue that we have reached Peak, the halfway point between the discovery and the end of oil where oil companies take greater and greater risks to tap the last remaining oil fields – as the disastrous British Petroleum spill in the Gulf of Mexico shows.

Richard Heinberg, author of The Party is Over said about Ruppert’s most recent book: Confronting Collapse: “Ruppert has an unblemished track record for saying things that are incendiary, outrageous, shocking – and true. Our new president needs desperately to hear the uncomfortable message of this book about energy and the economy, and so do the rest of us.”From a TUC Radio Presentation. This is Part I. Part II will air here next Saturday.

Who were the Luddites? Machine smashers or visionaries?

Were the Luddites machine smashers of the 19th century or members of a fascinating social movement with visionary insights into the unfolding drama of industrialization?

The impact of today’s technologies on social relations and the planet itself is becoming an intriguing field of inquiry. However so far the discussion of nuclear power, biotechnolgy, deforestation, automobiles or computers is pretty much dominated by industry and government who want us to take all this for granted.

In this context it is inspiring to remember the Luddites who questioned industrial civilization at its very beginning in England during the introduction of mechanized textile mills. They knew that the power-looms that they selectively destroyed were not just a technology but would create a whole new set of relations: Factory work, child labor, and the demise of artisan and skilled labor. They anticipated that the new machines, that they themselves had helped build, were not the promised tool to help them in their work but would eventually become part of a machine culture with power over human life and even human consciousness.

Iain Boal taught a course on the Luddites at Stanford University. He is a historian of technology and co-editor of “Resisting the Virtual Life” published by City Lights. From a TUC Radio Presentation.
