Will Jerry Brown Close Pelican Bay Prison? Democratic Governor Jerry Brown is under a federal mandate to release thousands of prisoners from California's overcrowded concentration camp-prisons. Abolishing the entire prison-punishment system and the death penalty would be best, replacing it with job training for decent-paying jobs in one year for those under 50 and lifetime good pensions for those over 50. He could start by closing Pelican Bay Prison, a vicious hellhole that would make Hitler proud....

U.S. Election 2012- President Obama and Mitt Romney Joke about Unemployment U.S. Presidential Candidate Stewart Alexander says President Obama and former Governor Mitt Romney are out of touch with America’s working class. “It is no laughing matter when your unemployment benefits expire, when you are homeless, when your mortgage is behind, when your kids are hungry, when your car payment is 30 days late, or when you are faced with a stack of unpaid bills.”...

U.S. Election 2012- Stewart Alexander: Jobs Report a Disaster for Obama President Barack Obama recently kicked off his 2012 re-election campaign; however, the sluggish economy and the president’s failure to create jobs could threaten his hopes for re-election. With all the bad news on the economy, the president still remains the favorite to win in 2012. President Obama is a formidable fundraiser and has the financial backing of Wall Street and could spend as much a $1 billion for re-election; and approaching November 2012, the Republican field of presidential h...

Fight The Future: Mass Default as Anticapitalist Initiative This grim present is marked by unremitting unemployment. Where did all the work go? It went into the future. And not in a cool science fiction way. Work has gone into the future in a way that assures our misery indefinitely. That’s what debt is. It is the guarantee that you will spend all the hours of your future laboring to make good on a promise you were forced to make by an economy that can’t provide either the minimum nor the maximum (for these are one and the same) of what we want from l...

“A government so small you can carry it with you everywhere. . .” Austerity. This is the name originally given, let’s remember, to the economic policies of WWII, the name for the total mobilization of society to the task of war. Up until WWII, austerity had a purely personal meaning – it referred to ascetic practices, the self-discipline of monks and penitents. But in Britain during the Blitz it came to stand for an entire moral order, a series of measures – austerities—which continued into peacetime, when the citizenry were called upon to rebuild the count...

Secret FBI documents reveal attack on democratic rights of movement activists 
Taken as a whole, the secret FBI file shows the willful disregard for the rights of anti-war and international solidarity activists – particularly the first amendment rights to freedom of speech and association. The documents make it clear that legal activity in solidarity with the peoples of Colombia and Palestine is being targeted. The documents use McCarthy-era language, which gives one the feel that the 1950s red scare has returned. And finally, the documents show the chilling plans for t...
