In Congo, a Force of Child-Soldiers Rises
Up to Fight Rebels: A Rwandan militia has been terrorizing villagers for years.
Some have fled to horrific conditions in the jungle, and their sons have taken
up arms to fight back.
The climate of Capitalism by Robert
Hunziker...
Capitalism, as a socio-economic system, has
lifted the standard of living for untold millions of people all across the
globe. It is the nuts and bolts of successful enterprise, bringing in its wake a
middle class that enjoys a way of life that prior generations of parents and
grandparents never realized, an automated lifestyle filled with gadgets and
devices that bring comfort to everyday life like washing machines, automobiles,
televisions, cell phones, refrigerators, and life-saving medical developments.
And, just to think, who in 1912 would have predicted a person could walk out of
their house in New York City in the morning and arrive in San Francisco for a
business meeting that same day? There were no airports in 1912.
All the same, capitalism, over time, has
grown warts. This is because of an overzealous adherence to its very tenets,
which are (1) private property (2) self interest (3) competition (4)
market-based (5) economic freedom (6) consumer sovereignty and (7) laissez
faire. And, as Adam Smith preached in The Wealth of Nations (1776), the
invisible hand of the free market guides people to act in the public
interest by following their own self-interest.
Hypocrites with Fat
Wallets...
CEOs Want It
All America’s top corporate executives love lecturing the rest of us about
‘fiscal responsibility.’ They want us to expect less from government. But they
expect more, and a new report shows how they’re getting it. By Sam
Pizzigati
60 Minutes and the
Billionaire Agenda...
The old journalistic maximum said
a good journalist had to answer five questions in every story: Who, what, when,
where, and why? Of those, “why” is the most important questions of all. Without
it, stories are more likely to misinform than inform. In this case, the
misinformation seems deliberate. The intended message seems to be government
can’t help us. We must militarize or cities and depend on the generosity of
billionaires, or we don’t stand a chance. Three stories were aired Sunday
night: Counterinsurgency Cops, Robin Hood, and Invisible
Wounds.
