Jolinda Hackett, your Guide to Vegetarian Food
Welcome
to summer barbecue season! This week, I'm sharing the best vegetarian
grilling tips, ideas, tricks and of course plenty of tasty recipes, to
get you ready for the biggest barbecue event of the year. I'm talking
about the fourth of July, of course! Get some practice on your indoor
grill before the big day.
|
All-American potato salads
Use tri-colored potatoes (red, regular and purple - err, blue!) for a
patriotic side dish, or, leave the fancy colors to the fireworks experts
and just enjoy your vegetarian potato salad.
As an extra tip, Baco-s brand "bacon bits" are actually vegetarian (no,
really - read the label!) so sprinkle a few on your potato salad for a
bit of crunch. Here's a few vegetarian potato salad recipes for your
meat-free fourth:
Corn on the cob
is the perfect simple side item for vegetarians and vegans on barbecue
days. Everyone always loves fresh sweet summer corn. Just be sure to use
a vegan margarine,
then dress up your corn on the cob with your favorite spices. If you're
using a fresh organic and local variety, however, it might be best to
just grill it up and enjoy it naked. The corn that is, not you. Here are
a few easy ways to glam up a simple corn on the cob:
A grilled salad can be as simple as topping a green salad with some
grilled vegetarian "chicken", or you can grill an entire salad with
vegetables mixed with fresh greens and topped with dressing, as in this
pictured Italian caponata salad made with grilled zucchini and eggplant
and tossed with vinegar and green olives.
Several
lettuce greens work well on the grill too. Try grilling endive, halved
romaine hearts, chard or cabbage just enough to get them a bit crisped
and softened. Drizzle with salt, pepper and olive oil and you've got
yourself the base of a grilled. Here's a few other recipes to try.
Like seitan, tempeh, and many store-bought meat substitutes, tofu can
work well on the grill, and it's much cheaper than many other
alternatives if you're grilling for a crowd. Here are some quick tips to help you have the tastiest grilled tofu on the block.

Não deixe de ir, mais uma vez é hora de apoiar os Bombeiros Militares.
Em tempo, até agora o FANFARRÃO do Sérgio Cabral não resolveu a questão salarial e as condições de trabalho dos bombeiros, e aí ?
Em tempo 2, até o Globo noticiou o ato.
  Reprodução do Globo on line  RIO - Após a aprovação da anistia criminal, pela Câmara dos Deputados, em Brasília, nesta quinta-feira, e da publicação da anistia administrativa no Diário Oficial do Executivo também nesta quinta, os bombeiros vão realizar um novo ato, no próximo sábado, dia do bombeiros, em frente ao Copacabana Palace, na Zona Sul do Rio, em comemoração pelas duas conquistas.
Os militares vão pendurar camisas vermelhas em um varal na areia da praia, com o apoio da ONG Rio de Paz.

É
do cacete, meus pais eram professores, ambos com matrícula no estado e
no município, eu meus irmão fomos criados com muita dignidade,
estudamos em escolas particulares e etc.
Hoje isso não seria possível, é lamentável. Educação deveria ser prioridade, mas esse governo de merda só pensa em FARRA, principalmente beneficiar empresas de amigos.
Em tempo, o salário do professor do estado é menos do que R$ 800 reais por mês, é mole ?
Reprodução do UOL Notícias
  Professores e funcionários da rede estadual de educação do Rio de Janeiro, em greve desde o dia 7 de junho, fazem nesta sexta-feira (1º) um ato no supermercado
Mundial, no centro do Rio, contra o Auxílio Cultura - um cartão com
crédito anual de R$ 500, que beneficia somente professores regentes
(que trabalham em sala de aula), deixando de fora funcionários e
aposentados. Para o sindicato, isso "divide e fragmenta a categoria".
"O problema é que o pessoal está com fome de comida e sede de bebida. Estamos ganhando muito mal", afirma Danilo Serafim, coordenador geral do Sepe (Sindicato Estadual dos Profissionais de Educação do RJ).
Originalmente, o cartão seria para comprar itens de cultura, ir a teatros e shows. Segundo o coordenador, não dá para pensar nessas coisas, quando falta comida e o essencial para viver. A principal reivindicação dos profissionais em greve é o reajuste emergencial de 26% e o descongelamento do plano de carreira dos funcionários administrativos.  |

A nova lei vai por na rua milhares de presos, o objetivo é diminuir a superlotação, e reduzir as despesas do estado.
Pergunta, e o povo como é que fica ? Ultimamente apenas os vagabundos estão sendo beneficiados essa é a verdade. Em tempo, não seria mais correto investir no sistema prisional construindo penitenciárias, e presídios. Em tempo 2, a partir da próxima segunda-feira o povo que se cuide.
Reprodução do jornal Estado de São Paulo on line
 Na
próxima segunda-feira, entra em vigor a nova Lei das Cautelares, que
permite ao juiz aplicar, além de prisão ou liberdade, outras medidas a
suspeitos de crimes. Dependendo da
decisão judicial, dezenas de milhares de pessoas que hoje estão presas
poderão ser liberadas e aguardar em liberdade o julgamento de seus
processos. Ao mesmo tempo, juízes poderão impor limites e obrigações
para quem não for preso e evitar prisões desnecessárias.
A
Lei 12.403 prevê que o juiz poderá determinar que o suspeito se
apresente periodicamente em juízo, permaneça em casa durante a noite ou
em dias de folga, proíba que ele frequente determinados lugares ou
mantenha contato com certas pessoas, suspenda o exercício de função pública ou a atividade econômica do suspeito, determine a internação provisória ou o monitoramento eletrônico do acusado.
Superlotação. A nova lei pode reduzir a superlotação nos presídios. Dados de 2009 do Departamento Penitenciário Nacional (Depen),
vinculado ao Ministério da Justiça, mostravam que a população dos
presídios era de 451 mil pessoas - 44% deles em prisão preventiva,
justamente o alvo da lei. Mutirões carcerários do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ) também revelaram que muitas dessas prisões seriam desnecessárias e ilegais.
O custo para o Estado também cairia. O governo estima que a prisão preventiva custa para os cofres públicos R$ 1,8 mil. Pela nova lei, a medida mais cara é o monitoramento eletrônico, com custo aproximado de R$ 600 por mês.
De acordo com o CNJ,
não há nenhum dado estatístico confiável que possa prever quantos
presos poderão agora aguardar em liberdade o julgamento. "Mesmo que
essas pessoas sejam liberadas é porque não precisavam de fato estar
presas", afirma o ministro Gilmar Mendes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF).

O desaparecimento desse menino Juan é muito estranho.Mas estranho também é o que o secretário de segurança José Mariano Beltrame disse, ao tentar justificar a demora da investigação do jovem Juan:""A questão pericial não foi feita, pois tratávamos o caso como alto de resistência..."
Não entendi Beltrame, o que o Sr. quer dizer, que a Polícia Civil tem ordem de não investigar "altos de resistência" ???
Se isso for verdade, é complicado e ilegal !!!
Em tempo, sabemos que nem todo alto de resistência é um "alto de resistência", por exemplo, o caso do menino Juan.

Foto do vagabundo tirado do vídeo no youtube
. INACREDITÁVEL, acabo de ver essa matéria no Jornal da Bandeirantes.Bandido rouba turistas armado, comparsa filma a ação, e vagabundos postam vídeo no youtube, resultado, os marginais foram identificados pela polícia. Era só que o faltava, CADEIA nesses bandidos de merda. Reprodução do site ibahia.com 
Clique e veja o vídeo.
Os agentes da Delegacia Especializada de Proteção ao Turista de Porto Seguro (Deltur),
do município de Porto Seguro, identificaram o homem acusado de ter
roubado um casal de turistas em uma praia do município e ter postado o
vídeo do crime no YouTube. Segundo informações do policial de
plantão, na manhã de quinta-feira (30), uma equipe coordenada pelo
Delegado Ricardo Feitosa tentou prender Renei de Sá Santos, 19 anos, que conseguiu fugir.
Renei
estava em sua casa, onde mora com os pais, em Arraial D'ajuda, quando
a equipe chegou com uma viatura não padronizada, para não provocar a
desconfiança do acusado. Apesar do cuidado da polícia, Renei percebeu o cerco e fugiu por um matagal.
O acusado abandonou na fuga duas mochilas com vários objetos - máquinas, relógios e óculos - que seriam das vítimas. "Ele não roubou apenas o casal, mas também outras pessoas", disse o policial. O vídeo foi gravado pelo comparsa do assaltante que ainda não foi identificado. O delegado pedirá a prisão preventiva de Renei. Segundo a polícia, uma pessoa, que não teve o nome revelado, viu o vídeo e identificou o assaltante pelo seu perfil no Facebook. Após a denúncia, a polícia civil foi comunicada e partiu para a busca do acusado que, no momento, está foragido. Vídeo Os dois assaltantes roubaram um casal em uma praia e ainda filmaram a ação, colocando o filme posteriormente no YouTube. Segundo as imagens, o crime teria acontecido em uma praia de Porto Seguro, no sul do estado. Enquanto um dos bandidos assalta o casal com um revólver, o outro filma tudo e dá pressa no cúmplice. No final da edição das imagens, uma mensagem diz que o "ladrão aqui é só outro humilde brasileiro, transformado em monstro". O vídeo original foi retirado pelo usuário que postou, mas as imagens foram postadas novamente por um internauta. Publicado no dia 27 de junho, o vídeo já tem mais de 14 mil visualizações.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, tá !!!
Essa não é a empresa que o dono é amigão do Sérgio Cabral ? Tá tudo dominado, até quando ?
Rio - A empresa Delta Construções é citada em cerca de 50 procedimentos do Tribunal de Contas do Estado (TCE-RJ) que tiveram voto dos conselheiros pela ilegalidade nos contratos de execução de obras e inclusão de aditivos. A maioria dos processos — em que cabe recurso — envolve as prefeituras de São Gonçalo, Magé, Japeri e Angra dos Reis. As irregularidades estariam em obras para esgotamento sanitário, drenagem, pavimentação e recapeamento de vias.
A empreiteira pertence ao empresário Fernando Cavendish, que tem contratos com o estado que chegam a R$ 1 bilhão. Ele era o aniversariante da festa da qual o governador Sérgio Cabral participaria na Bahia quando helicóptero caiu no mar. “Minha vida privada é uma coisa, minha vida pública é outra. É um absurdo querer vincular qualquer elo de amizade entre mim e o Fernando, que é anterior ao meu mandato, com o crescimento da empresa dele”, disse Sérgio Cabral.
Sobre
os processos no Tribunal de Contas, a Delta Construções explicou que,
em alguns deles, recorreu e foi atendida. Mas a decisão final ainda não
saiu.

O Exército tem o direito e deve investigar,mas os militares não podem ser submetidos a tratamento desumano.
Detalhe, os locais onde ficam as armas e munições não tem câmeras, ou algo mais eficiente que possa identificar o bandido travestido de militar ? Em tempo, outro dia eu assisti um apresentador de TV idiota cobrando dos síndicos e moradores dos prédios a instalação de câmeras para evitar assaltos, ou seja, a segurança pública está deixando de ser uma atribuição do estado, e passando a ser do cidadão. É isso mesmo ? E o dinheiro que pagamos de impostos para que serve ?

 RIO - Familiares de cerca de 650 soldados e oficiais detidos no Batalhão Escola de Comunicações, na Vila Militar, em Deodoro, foram para a porta da unidade, onde, na semana passada, foi constatado um furto de munição para armamento pesado, totalizando 2.525 cartuchos - de pistolas 9mm a fuzis 762 . Eles disseram que pretendem procurar o Comando Militar do Leste porque alguns militares informaram, por celular, que têm se alimentado mal e que a situação é precária nos alojamentos.
Segundo
a mãe de um soldado, que não quis se identificar, o prazo de prisão de
72h expirou, mas a ordem seria manter todos presos.
Um soldado aquartelado contou que não está numa cela, mas não pode deixar o local.
Estamos presos porque não podemos sair do quartel. Nosso direito de ir e vir está sendo violado. Segundo o comando, a liberação só acontecerá quando o problema for solucionado - contou o militar. Há apenas dois fogões para fazer a comida de todos
Com um filho lotado no batalhão, Maria da Conceição Ribeiro, de 58 anos, que mora em Bangu,
na Zona Oeste, afirmou que está revoltada, assim como outros pais de
militares detidos pela forma com que o caso está sendo tratado:
-
Não é prendendo todo mundo que eles vão esclarecer o furto.
Pretendemos procurar o Comando Militar do Leste para tomar conhecimento
de como estão nossos filhos. Eles estão detidos desde a semana passada.
Sem entrar em detalhes sobre o desaparecimento da munição, a Seção
de Comunicação Social do Exército confirmou, na quarta-feira, o
desvio, que teria ocorrido no último dia 27. O problema foi constatado
durante uma conferência diária de armamento e munição. Ainda segundo a
órgão, o fato está sendo apurado por meio de Inquérito Policial Militar
(IPM),
instaurado pelo comando daquela unidade militar. Os familiares dos
presos, no entanto, informaram que o roubo foi no feriado de Corpus Christi, no dia 23.
Ainda
de acordo com militares que estão na unidade, o rancho do quartel está
em obras e a comida, que antes era feita em cinco fogões, agora está
sendo preparada em apenas dois, o que compromete a qualidade da
alimentação.

 RIO - A Procuradoria
de Justiça Militar do Rio de Janeiro apresentou denúncia contra seis
militares do Exército e nove civis pelo desvio de recursos públicos em
licitações realizadas pelo Instituto Militar de Engenharia (IME).
Uma força-tarefa foi criada para investigar o caso depois que uma
série de reportagens do GLOBO mostrou que as empresas envolvidas nas
fraudes, ocorridas entre 2004 e 2005, pertenciam a laranjas ou a pessoas
ligadas a militares da própria unidade .
O grupo montou um cartel para vencer as concorrências
e abocanhar cifras milionárias. Segundo o Ministério Público Militar, o
esquema gerou prejuízos aos cofres públicos de R$ 11 milhões. Os 15
envolvidos foram denunciados por peculato.
RELEMBRE: E-mail envolvendo generais faz MP Militar pedir a prisão de oficial acusado de fraudes no IME
Em 2009, os procuradores receberam as primeiras informações anônimas relacionadas a irregularidades em processos licitatórios e a convênios entre o IME e o Departamento Nacional de Infraestrutura de Transportes (Dnit). O MPM analisou 88 licitações, todas consideradas ilícitas.
As licitações analisadas tinham sempre a participação das mesmas oito empresas de dois empresários, assessorados por um contabilista.
Os investigadores levantaram ainda que os empresários tinham uma
relação antiga com um dos oficiais acusados e que já haviam fornecido
bens e serviços ao IME, quando o militar era chefe do setor de materiais.
Segundo o MPM, a denúncia é referente a apenas uma parte das fraudes no IME. Outros quatro inquéritos ainda estão em andamento apurando denúncias semelhantes.

Nada é eterno, todos os impérios caem.
No Rio de Janeiro, por exemplo,o jornalismo da Rede Globo anda sem crédito nenhum.
Reprodução da Folha.com
 A Globo viu seu ibope em junho crescer 0,4 ponto na Grande São Paulo em relação a maio: de 16,6 para 17 pontos. Mesmo assim a emissora teve o menor ibope já registrado nesse mês, desde que a audiência das TVs passou a ser medida, em 1970. O resultado vale para a chamada faixa comercial, das 7h à 0h.
Até então, junho de 2008 fora o pior de todos, com média de 17,1 pontos. Historicamente, junho é um dos meses em que as TVs
estão mais ligadas, e quando há mais pessoas diante dos aparelhos. A
equação frio + mês de provas + poupar dinheiro para as férias iminentes
faz com que, na média, 43% das TVs estejam ligadas --um dos índices mais altos em situação de normalidade (quando não há grandes catástrofes ou competições).
Para efeito de comparação, em junho do ano passado a Globo marcou 18,5 pontos, mas então havia a Copa da África-- que, curiosamente, também não elevou o ibope da emissora em relação ao junho anterior (2009), quando também havia marcado 18,5 pontos.

PM, Aexander de Oliveira, que perdeu perna conquistou sonho de entrar para a corporação há dois anos

Uma boa notícia o PM, Aexander de Oliveira, abriu os olhos e viu a sua família, os médicos dizem que o seu estado de saúde teve melhoras.
Que Deus ajude esse policial dando lhe o direito a uma segunda chance.
Reprodução do site R7
 Pela primeira vez desde o ataque de criminosos com granada no morro da Coroa, região central do Rio de Janeiro, há seis dias, o policial militar Alexander de Oliveira, de 31 anos, abriu seus olhos e viu sua mulher, na última quinta-feira (30), segundo familiares. Logo em seguida, ele voltou ao coma induzido. O PM está em estado grave e teve a perna direita amputada.
Na manhã do último sábado (25), ele acordou com o plano de ir trabalhar na UPP (Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora) no morro da Coroa e depois viajar para casa em Rezende, no sul fluminense, para jogar futebol, uma de suas paixões. Uma granada na comunidade carioca, porém, mudou sua vida.
De acordo com familiares, o PM
sonhava em ser policial. Oliveira tentou três vezes passar no concurso
da polícia. Ele largou o trabalho de nove anos em uma montadora de
veículos quando passou para a turma de 2009.
Com a instalação de UPPs na capital, o policial foi transferido de Rezende
para o Rio. A mulher e os dois filhos - uma menina de quatro anos e um
menino de dez anos - ficaram no sul fluminense. Desde o ataque, a
família está em um hotel para visitar Oliveira, que permanece internado
em coma induzido - para não sentir dor - no HCPM (Hospital Central da Polícia Militar), no Estácio, na zona norte.Uma junta médica avaliou a perna esquerda que sofreu lesões, entre elas uma fratura exposta na canela. Segundo o primo Luiz Augusto, a situação do pé é o mais preocupante. - Houve uma melhora no seu quadro, pois as doses dos remédios estão menores. Ele ainda recebe ajuda para respirar e permanecerá sedado por uns 15 dias pelo menos, pois a dor na hora dos curativos deve ser insuportável. Nossa maior preocupação é com o pé esquerdo. Ele está sendo muito bem tratado pela equipe médica.  |

Abaixo reproduzo um artigo muito interessante do Ricardo Noblat publicado dia 27 de junho, prestem atenção nas perguntas feitas por Noblat que Sérgio Cabrak deve responder.
  Governador
Sérgio Cabral: minha solidariedade. Fora a perda de um filho, nada dói
mais do que ver um filho sofrer. Tenho um que perdeu a namorada em
acidente de carro. E foi ele quem encontrou o corpo.
O
senhor fez bem em licenciar-se do cargo para ficar ao lado do seu
filho. Pezão, o vice, dá conta do recado. É eficiente. Está acostumado.
Só
não escale Pezão para responder perguntas que apenas ao senhor cabe
responder. Não são poucas. E estão na boca das pessoas que ainda se
preocupam com as parcerias público-privadas entre políticos, seus amigos
e benfeitores.
Sou do tempo em que os políticos escondiam amantes, tesoureiros de campanha e empresários do peito.
Amantes
ainda são mantidas à sombra – embora algumas delas, de um tempo para
cá, tenham protagonizado barulhentos escândalos. Outras morrem sem
abrir o bico.
Tesoureiros?
Esses se expõem ao sol sem o menor pudor. São reconhecidos em toda
parte. E fingem que abdicaram de cometer antigos pecados. Pois sim!
Acredite...
Quanto a empresários do peito... Liberou geral.
Direto
ao ponto: por que o senhor viajou a Porto Seguro, acompanhado de
parentes, em jatinho cedido por Eike Batista, dono de muitos negócios
que dependem do interesse ou da boa vontade do governo do Rio de
Janeiro?
Foi o senhor que pediu o jatinho emprestado? Foi Eike quem ofereceu? Se ele ofereceu como soube que o senhor precisava de um?
Há
vôos comerciais diários para Porto Seguro. Por que não embarcou em um
deles pagando do próprio bolso a sua passagem e as de seus familiares?
O
jato de Eike decolou com o senhor do aeroporto Santos Dumont às 17h da
última sexta-feira dia 17. O vôo 3917 da TAM decolou antes – às 10h15.
Nele, o senhor teria chegado ao seu destino às 14h16.
Não
considera indecoroso viajar a custa de um empresário que em 2010 doou
para sua campanha R$ 750 mil? Um empresário beneficiado por isenções
concedidas por seu governo?
Foi
por isso que sua assessoria, no primeiro momento, negou que o senhor
tivesse voado para Porto Seguro? Foi por isso que o senhor preferiu
voltar em um jatinho alugado por seu governo?
Se
a autoridade máxima de um Estado pede ou aceita favores de empresários
não será compreensível que seus secretários também aceitem, igualmente
os subsecretários, chefes de gabinetes, chefes de repartições – e
assim por diante?
Que diferença existe entre um agrado feito com dinheiro e outro com gasolina e conforto?
O
que o levou a Porto Seguro foi a comemoração de mais um aniversário do
empresário Fernando Cavendish, dono da empreiteira Delta Construções,
cujos contratos abocanhados para obras durante seu governo valem em
torno de R$ 1 bilhão. Somente no ano passado a Delta ganhou 18
contratos – 13 deles sem licitação.
Em momento algum o senhor imaginou que não pegaria bem comparecer a um evento promovido por quem tanto lhe deve?
Um
homem público não deveria saber distinguir entre prestadores de
serviços ao Estado e amigos pessoais? A mistura do público com o
privado não acabaria por causar sérios danos à sua imagem?
Quem acreditará que Cabral, amigo de Cavendish, nada tem a ver com Cabral, governador do Rio e cliente de Cavendish?
E
onde mesmo seria a festa de aniversário do empresário? No Jacumã Ocean
Resort, de propriedade do piloto Marcelo Mattoso de Almeida – um
ex-doleiro acusado de fraude cambial há 15 anos.
Marcelo
foi dono da empresa First Class, acusada de ter cometido crime
ambiental na praia do Iguaçu, na Ilha Grande, em Angra dos Reis.
Sinto
muito, governador, mas é com esse tipo de gente que o senhor anda? É a
esse tipo de gente que o senhor não se constrange em ficar devendo
favores?
Eike Batista disse que cedeu seu jatinho ao senhor com “satisfação” e “orgulho”. E que é livre para selecionar suas amizades.
Lembrou-me
a rainha francesa Maria Antonieta, no Palácio de Versalhes, mandando o
povo comer brioches às vésperas da revolução que a guilhotinou.
Se
quiser ser levado a sério, o homem público que deve seu mandato ao
povo está proibido de desfrutar do mesmo grau de liberdade.
Reflita com calma a respeito, Cabral. E não deixe uma só dessas perguntas sem resposta.

Abaixo reproduzo um breve artigo muito legal, que de forma irônica revela muitas verdades.
Reprodução do site Estadão.com, blog The piaui herald   GLÓRIA - Após dois goles de café na caneca preferida, na qual se lê as iniciais EBX impressas na porcelana, o governador Sérgio Cabral iniciou a entrevista coletiva em que explicou suas relações com empresários. "Quem me conhece sabe que sei separar muito bem quem me empresta um jatinho de quem me hospeda na casa de praia", defendeu-se. O encontro com os jornalistas aconteceu no iate Pink Fleet, atracado na Marina da Glória.
Cabral reconheceu que tem mais de 5 mil amigos no Facebook.
"Mas nem todos são bilionários. Não discrimino e me dou muito bem com
milionários”, explicou. O governador admitiu que ouve CDs indicados por
Luiz Carlos Calainho, fumou um charuto recomendado por Boni e fez uma série de polichinelos que lhe foram propostos por Alexandre Accioly. "E também governo um estado que o Eike Batista me emprestou. Não vejo nada demais nisso. Eike é um homem generoso."
Acusado de oferecer benefícios fiscais a um salão de cabeleireiros,
Cabral quase perdeu a compostura: "Isso é mais uma prova de que uma
coisa não tem nada a ver com a outra. Quem vê o penteado do Eike não pode, em sã consciência, me acusar de estar beneficiando a estética capilar."

As Organizações Globo através da novela Insensato Coração, disseram que a Polícia Militar e e a Guarda Municipal gostam de receber propinas.
Ok, se trata de uma novela, mas as Organizações Globo deveriam ter mais respeito com essas instituições, e passarem mensagens positivas, e não ajudar a criar na mente do povo que a Polícia Militar e a Guarda Municipal não prestam. Resultado, a Guarda Municipal do Rio divulgou, nesta quinta-feira, uma nota de desagravo à TV Globo, conforme matéria do jornal abaixo. Realmente essa foi mais uma sacanagem das Organizações Globo.

 Rio
- A Guarda Municipal do Rio divulgou, nesta quinta-feira, uma nota de
desagravo à TV Globo, pelo comentário considerado ofensivo entre dois
personagens em uma cena da novela das 21h, "Insensato Coração". Na
referida cena, o ator
que interpretava um delegado da Polícia Federal ao ser perguntado se
recebia propina de motoristas bêbados saiu com a seguinte resposta:"Não sou guarda municipal e muito menos policial militar". Na cena, o delegado contracenava com a dondoca Paula Cortez, interpretada por Tainá Müller. A filha do banqueiro Horácio Cortez, personagem de Herson Capri e preso pela Polícia Federal por crimes contra o sistema financeiro, demonstrou indignação ao ver o delegado vasculhando sua casa à procura de provas contra seu pai. Em resposta, o inspetor geral da Guarda Municipal do Rio, coronel Henrique Lima Castro que é oficial da PM, vai enviar e-mail de desagravo à emissora. A conversa se dá na casa do banqueiro Horácio Cortez, personagem de Herson Capri que foi preso e que é pai de Paula. "Embora seja uma obra de ficção, a resposta do personagem do delegado foi desnecessária e ofensiva e não só aos guardas e policiais militares do Rio mas de todo o Brasil. Entendo a personagem da atriz dizer que o guarda e o policial recebem propina de motoristas bêbados por ela estar sob pressão, por se sentir invadida em sua privacidade com a polícia em sua casa. Mas o delegado dar uma resposta dessas à acusação da personagem foi realmente desnecessária e não enriqueceu o diálogo em nada. Alguns guardas relataram à nossa assessoria de imprensa que se sentiram ofendidos", disse Lima Castro. A referida cena pode ser vista no vídeo abaixo, a partir do minuto 7:00.  |

  A FARRA fiscal Feita pelo Sérgio Cabral é algo inédito, foram R$ 50 bilhões concedidos a empresas de amigos de Cabral e outras, como o iate e o restaurante chinês do Eike Batista, o cabeleleiro da esposa do governador, e por aí vai.Podemos estar diante de um dos maiores escândalos de desvio de dinheiro público da história, basta as autoridades quererem investigar. e como bem salientado pelo site do Claudio Humberto, o Sérgio Cabral por causa dessa FARRA poderá ser processado por crime de responsabilidade.

Global Research, June 30, 2011
Information Clearing House - 2011-06-28
Why
has the United States government supported counterinsurgency in
Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador, and many other places around the
world, at such a loss of human life to the populations of those nations?
Why did it invade tiny Grenada and then Panama? Why did it support
mercenary wars against progressive governments in Nicaragua, Mozambique,
Angola, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Indonesia, East Timor, Western Sahara,
South Yemen, and elsewhere?
Is
it because our leaders want to save democracy? Are they concerned about
the well-being of these defenseless peoples? Is our national security
threatened? I shall try to show that the arguments given to justify U.S.
policies are false ones.
But
this does not mean the policies themselves are senseless. American
intervention may seem "wrongheaded" but, in fact, it is fairly
consistent and horribly successful.
The
history of the United States has been one of territorial and economic
expansionism, with the benefits going mostly to the U.S. business class
in the form of growing investments and markets, access to rich natural
resources and cheap labor, and the accumulation of enormous profits.
The
American people have had to pay the costs of empire, supporting a huge
military establishment with their taxes, while suffering the loss of
jobs, the neglect of domestic services, and the loss of tens of
thousands of American lives in overseas military ventures.
The
greatest costs, of course, have been borne by the peoples of the Third
World who have endured poverty, pillage, disease, dispossession,
exploitation, illiteracy, and the widespread destruction of their lands,
cultures, and lives.
As
a relative latecomer to the practice of colonialism, the United States
could not match the older European powers in the acquisition of overseas
territories. But the United States was the earliest and most consummate
practitioner of neoimperialism or neocolonialism, the process of
dominating the politico-economic life of a nation without benefit of
direct possession.
Almost
half a century before the British thought to give a colonized land its
nominal independence, as in India-while continuing to exploit its labor
and resources, and dominate its markets and trade-the United States had
perfected this practice in Cuba and elsewhere.
In
places like the Philippines, Haiti, and Nicaragua, and when dealing
with Native American nations, U.S. imperialism proved itself as brutal
as the French in Indochina, the Belgians in the Congo, the Spaniards in
South America, the Portuguese in Angola, the Italians in Libya, the
Germans in Southwest Africa, and the British almost everywhere else. Not
long ago, U.S. military forces delivered a destruction upon Vietnam,
Laos, and Cambodia that surpassed anything perpetuated by the older
colonizers. And today, the U.S. counterinsurgency apparatus and
surrogate security forces in Latin America and elsewhere sustain a
system of political assassination, torture, and repression unequaled in
technological sophistication and ruthlessness.
All
this is common knowledge to progressive critics of U.S policy, but most
Americans would be astonished to hear of it. They have been taught
that, unlike other nations, their country has escaped the sins of empire
and has been a champion of peace and justice among nations. This
enormous gap between what the United States does in the world and what
Americans think their nation is doing is one of the great propaganda
accomplishments of the dominant political mythology.
It
should be noted, though, that despite the endless propaganda barrage
emanating from official sources and the corporate-owned major media,
large sectors of the public have throughout U.S. history displayed an
anti-interventionist sentiment, an unwillingness to commit U.S. troops
to overseas actions-a sentiment facilely labeled "isolationism" by the
interventionists.
The Rational Function of Policy Myths
Within
U.S. ruling circles there are differences of opinion regarding
interventionist policy. There are conservatives who complain that U.S.
policy is plagued by weakness and lacks toughness and guts and all the
other John Wayne virtues. And there are liberals who say U.S. policy is
foolish and relies too heavily on military solutions and should be more
flexible and co-optive when protecting and advancing the interests of
the United States (with such interests usually left unspecified).
A
closer look reveals that U.S. foreign policy is neither weak nor
foolish, but on the contrary is rational and remarkably successful in
reproducing the conditions for the continued international expropriation
of wealth, and that while it has suffered occasional setbacks, the
people who run the foreign policy establishment in Washington know what
they are doing and why they are doing it.
If
the mythology they offer as justification for their policies seems
irrational, this does not mean that the policies themselves are
irrational from the standpoint of the class interests of those who
pursue such policies. This is true of domestic myths and policies as
well as those pertaining to foreign policy.
Once
we grasp this, we can see how notions and arrangements that are
harmful, wasteful, indeed, destructive of human and social values-and
irrational from a human and social viewpoint-are not irrational for
global finance capital because the latter has no dedication to human and
social values. Capitalism has no loyalty to anything but itself, to the
accumulation of wealth. Once we understand that, we can see the cruel
rationality of the seemingly irrational myths that Washington policy
makers peddle. Some times what we see as irrational is really the
discrepancy between what the myth wants us to believe and what is true.
But
again this does not mean the interests served are stupid or irrational,
as the liberals like to complain. There is a difference between
confusion and deception, a difference between stupidity and subterfuge.
Once we understand the underlying class interests of the ruling circles,
we will be less mystified by their myths.
A
myth is not an idle tale or a fanciful story but a powerful cultural
force used to legitimate existing social relations. The interventionist
mythology does just that, by emphasizing a community of interests
between interventionists in Washington and the American people when in
fact there is none, and by blurring over the question of who pays and
who profits from U.S. global interventionism.
The
mythology has been with us for so long and much of it sufficiently
internalized by the public as to be considered part of the political
culture. The interventionist mythology, like all other cultural beliefs,
does not just float about in space. It must be mediated through a
social structure. The national media play a crucial role in making sure
that no fundamentally critical views of the rationales underlying and
justifying U.S. policy gain national exposure. A similar role is played
by the various institutes and policy centers linked to academia and, of
course, by political lead ers themselves.
Saving Democracy with Tyranny
Our
leaders would have us believe we intervened in Nicaragua, for instance,
because the Sandinista government was opposed to democracy. The
U.S.-supported invasion by right-wing Nicaraguan mercenaries was an
"effort to bring them to elections." Putting aside the fact that the
Sandinistas had already conducted fair and open elections in 1984, we
might wonder why U.S. leaders voiced no such urgent demand for free
elections and Western-style parliamentarism during the fifty years that
the Somoza dictatorship-installed and supported by the United
States-plundered and brutalized the Nicaraguan nation.
Nor
today does Washington show any great concern for democracy in any of
the U.S.-backed dictatorships around the world (unless one believes that
the electoral charade in a country like El Salvador qualifies as
"democracy").
If
anything, successive U.S. administrations have worked hard to subvert
constitutional and popularly accepted governments that pursued policies
of social reform favorable to the downtrodden and working poor. Thus the
U.S. national security state was instrumental in the overthrow of
popular reformist leaders such as Arbenz in Guatemala, Jagan in Guyana,
Mossadegh in Iran, Bosch in the Dominican Republic, Sukarno in
Indonesia, Goulart in Brazil, and Allende in Chile.
And
let us not forget how the United States assisted the militarists in
overthrowing democratic governments in Greece, Uruguay, Bolivia,
Pakistan, Thailand, and Turkey. Given this record, it is hard to believe
that the CIA trained, armed, and financed an expeditionary force of
Somocista thugs and mercenaries out of a newly acquired concern for
Western-style electoral politics in Nicaragua.
In
defense of the undemocratic way U.S. leaders go about "saving
democracy," our policy makers offer this kind of sophistry: "We cannot
always pick and choose our allies. Sometimes we must support unsavory
right-wing authoritarian regimes in order to prevent the spread of far
more repressive totalitarian communist ones."
But
surely, the degree of repression cannot be the criterion guiding White
House policy, for the United States has supported some of the worst
butchers in the world: Batista in Cuba, Somoza in Nicaragua, the Shah in
Iran, Salazar in Portugal, Marcos in the Philippines, Pinochet in
Chile, Zia in Pakistan, Evren in Turkey, and even Pol Pot in Cambodia.
In
the 1965 Indonesian coup, the military slaughtered 500,000 people,
according to the Indonesian chief of security (New York Times, 12/21/77;
some estimates run twice as high), but this did not deter U.S. leaders
from assisting in that takeover or from maintaining cozy relations with
the same Jakarta regime that subsequently perpetuated a campaign of
repression and mass extermination in East Timor.
U.S.
leaders and the business-owned mainstream press describe "Marxist
rebels" in countries like El Salvador as motivated by a lust for
conquest. Our leaders would have us believe that revolutionaries do not
seek power in order to eliminate hunger; they simply hunger for power.
But even if this were true, why would that be cause for opposing them?
Washington
policy makers have never been bothered by the power appetites of the
"moderate" right-wing authoritarian executionists, torturers, and
militarists.
In
any case, it is not true that leftist governments are more repressive
than fascist ones. The political repression under the Sandinistas in
Nicaragua was far less than what went on under Somoza. The political
repression in Castro's Cuba is mild compared to the butchery perpetrated
by the free-market Batista regime. And the revolutionary government in
Angola treats its people much more gently than did the Portuguese
colonizers.
Furthermore,
in a number of countries successful social revolutionary movements have
brought a net increase in individual freedom and well-being by
advancing the conditions for health and human life, by providing jobs
and education for the unemployed and illiterate, by using economic
resources for social development rather than for corporate profit, and
by overthrowing brutal reactionary regimes, ending foreign exploitation,
and involving large sectors of the populace in the task of rebuilding
their countries. Revolutions can extend a number of real freedoms
without destroying those freedoms that never existed under prior
reactionary regimes.
Who Threatens Whom?
Our
policy makers also argue that right-wing governments, for all their
deficiencies, are friendly toward the United States, while communist
ones are belligerent and therefore a threat to U.S. security. But, in
truth, every Marxist or left-leaning country, from a great power like
the Soviet Union to a small power like Vietnam or Nicaragua to a
minipower like Grenada under the New Jewel Movement, sought friendly
diplomatic and economic relations with the United States.
These
governments did so not necessarily out of love and affection for the
United States, but because of something firmer-their own self-interest.
As they themselves admitted, their economic development and political
security would have been much better served if they could have enjoyed
good relations with Washington.
If
U.S. Ieaders justify their hostility toward leftist governments on the
grounds that such nations are hostile toward us, what becomes the
justification when these countries try to be friendly? When a newly
established revolutionary or otherwise dissident regime threatens U.S.
hegemonic globalists with friendly relations, this does pose a problem.
The
solution is to (1) launch a well-orchestrated campaign of
disinformation that heaps criticism on the new government for
imprisoning the butchers, assassins, and torturers of the old regime and
for failing to institute Western electoral party politics; (2) denounce
the new government as a threat to our peace and security; (3) harass
and destabilize it and impose economic sanctions; and (4) attack it with
counterrevolutionary surrogate forces or, if necessary, U.S. troops.
Long before the invasion, the targeted country responds with angry
denunciations of U.S. policy.
It
moves closer to other "outlawed" nations and attempts to build up its
military defenses in anticipation of a U.S.-sponsored attack. These
moves are eagerly seized upon by U.S. officials and media as evidence of
the other country's antagonism toward the United States, and as
justification for the policies that evoked such responses.
Yet
it is difficult to demonstrate that small countries like Grenada and
Nicaragua are a threat to U.S. security. We remember the cry of the hawk
during the Vietnam war: "If we don't fight the Vietcong in the jungles
of Indochina, we will have to fight them on the beaches of California."
The
image of the Vietnamese getting into their PT boats and crossing the
Pacific to invade California was, as Walter Lippmann noted at the time, a
grievous insult to the U.S. Navy. The image of a tiny ill-equipped
Nicaraguan army driving up through Mexico and across the Rio Grande in
order to lay waste to our land is equally ludicrous.
The
truth is, the Vietnamese, Cubans, Grenadians, and Nicaraguans have
never invaded the United States; it is the United States that has
invaded Vietnam, Cuba, Grenada, and Nicaragua, and it is our government
that continues to try to isolate, destabilize, and in other ways
threaten any country that tries to drop out of the global capitalist
system or even assert an economic nationalism within it.
Remember the Red Menace
For
many decades of cold war, when all other arguments failed, there was
always the Russian bear. According to our cold warriors, small leftist
countries and insurgencies threatened our security because they were
extensions of Soviet power. Behind the little Reds there supposedly
stood the Giant Red Menace.
Evidence
to support this global menace thesis was sometimes farfetched.
President Carter and National Security Advisor Brezinski suddenly
discovered a "Soviet combat brigade" in Cuba in 1979- which turned out
to be a noncombat unit that had been there since 1962. This did not stop
President Reagan from announcing to a joint session of Congress several
years later: "Cuba is host to a Soviet combat brigade...."
In
1983, in a nationally televised speech, Reagan pointed to satellite
photos that revealed the menace of three Soviet helicopters in
Nicaragua. Sandinista officials subsequently noted that the helicopters
could be seen by anyone arriving at Managua airport and, in any case,
posed no military threat to the United States. Equally ingenious was the
way Reagan transformed a Grenadian airport, built to accommodate direct
tourist flights, into a killer-attack Soviet forward base, and a
twenty-foot-deep Grenadian inlet into a potential Soviet submarine base.
In
1967 Secretary of State Dean Rusk argued that U.S. national security
was at stake in Vietnam because the Vietnamese were puppets of "Red
China" and if China won in Vietnam, it would overrun all of Asia and
this supposedly would be the beginning of the end for all of us. Later
we were told that the Salvadoran rebels were puppets of the Sandinistas
in Nicaragua who were puppets of the Cubans who were puppets of the
Russians.
In
truth, there was no evidence that Third World peoples took up arms and
embarked upon costly revolutionary struggles because some sinister
ringmaster in Moscow or Peking cracked the whip. Revolutions are not
push-button affairs; rather, they evolve only if there exits a reservoir
of hope and grievance that can be galvanized into popular action.
Revolutions are made when large segments of the population take courage
from each other and stand up to an insufferable social order.
People
are inclined to endure great abuses before risking their lives in
confrontations with vastly superior armed forces. There is no such thing
as a frivolous revolution, or a revolution initiated and orchestrated
by a manipulative cabal residing in a foreign capital.
Nor
is there evidence that once the revolution succeeded, the new leaders
placed the interests of their country at the disposal of Peking or
Moscow. Instead of becoming the willing puppets of "Red China," as our
policy makers predicted, Vietnam found itself locked in combat with its
neighbor to the north. And, as noted earlier, almost every Third World
revolutionary country has tried to keep its options open and has sought
friendly diplomatic and economic relations with the United States.
Why
then do U.S. Ieaders intervene in every region and almost every nation
in the world, either overtly with U.S. military force or covertly with
surrogate mercenary forces, death squads, aid, bribes, manipulated
media, and rigged elections? Is all this intervention just an outgrowth
of a deeply conditioned anticommunist ideology? Are U.S. Ieaders
responding to the public's longstanding phobia about the Red Menace?
Certainly
many Americans are anticommunist, but this sentiment does not translate
into a demand for overseas interventionism. Quite the contrary. Opinion
polls over the last half-century have shown repeatedly that the U.S.
public is not usually supportive of com mitting U.S. forces in overseas
engagements and prefers friendly relations with other nations, including
communist ones. Far from galvanizing our leaders into interventionist
actions, popular opinion has been one of the few restraining influences.
There
is no denying, however, that opinion can sometimes be successfully
manipulated by jingoist ventures. The invasion of Grenada and the
slaughter perpetrated against Iraq are cases in point. The quick, easy,
low-cost wins reaffirmed for some Americans the feeling that we were not
weak and indecisive, not sitting ducks to some foreign prey.
But
even in these cases, it took an intensive and sustained propaganda
barrage of half-truths and lies by the national security state and its
faithful lackeys in the national media to muster some public support for
military actions against Grenada and Iraq.
In
sum, various leftist states do not pose a military threat to U.S.
security; instead, they want to trade and live in peace with us, and are
much less abusive and more helpful toward their people than the
reactionary regimes they replaced.
In
addition, U.S. Ieaders have shown little concern for freedom in the
Third World and have helped subvert democracy in a number of nations.
And popular opinion generally opposes interventionism by lopsided
majorities. What then motivates U.S. policy and how can we think it is
not confused and contradictory?
The
answer is that Marxist and other leftist or revolutionary states do
pose a real threat, not to the United States as a national entity and
not to the American people as such, but to the corporate and financial
interests of our country, to Exxon and Mobil, Chase Manhattan and First
National, Ford and General Motors, Anaconda and U.S. Steel, and to
capitalism as a world system.
The
problem is not that revolutionaries accumulate power but that they use
power to pursue substantive policies that are unacceptable to U.S.
ruling circles. What bothers our political leaders (and generals,
investment bankers, and corporate heads) is not the supposed lack of
political democracy in these countries but their attempts to construct
economic democracy, to depart from the impoverishing rigors of the
international free market, to use capital and labor in a way that is
inimical to the interests of multinational corporatism.
A
New York Times editorial (3/30183) referred to "the undesirable and
offensive Managua regime" and the danger of seeing "Marxist power
ensconced in Managua." But what specifically is so dangerous about
"Marxist power ?"
What
was undesirable and offensive about the Sandinista government in
Managua? What did it do to us? What did it do to its own people? Was it
the literacy campaign?
The
health care and housing programs? The land reform and development of
farm cooperatives? The attempt at rebuilding Managua, at increasing
production or achieving a more equitable distribution of taxes,
services, and food?
In
large part, yes. Such reforms, even if not openly denounced by our
government, do make a country suspect because they are symptomatic of an
effort to erect a new and competing economic order in which the
prerogatives of wealth and corporate investment are no longer secure,
and the land, labor, and resources are no longer used primarily for the
accumulation of corporate profits.
U.S.
Ieaders and the corporate-owned press would have us believe they
opposed revolutionary governments because the latter do not have an
opposition press or have not thrown their country open to Western style
(and Western-financed) elections. U.S. Ieaders come closer to their true
complaint when they condemn such governments for interfering with the
prerogatives of the "free market."
Similarly,
Henry Kissinger came close to the truth when he defended the fascist
overthrow of the democratic government in Chile by noting that when
obliged to choose between saving the economy or saving democracy, we
must save the economy. Had Kissinger said, we must save the capitalist
economy, it would have been the whole truth. For under Allende, the
danger was not that the economy was collapsing (although the U.S. was
doing its utmost to destabilize it); the real threat was that the
economy was moving away from free-market capitalism and toward a more
equitable social democracy, albeit in limited ways.
U.S.
officials say they are for change just as long as it is peaceful and
not violently imposed. Indeed, economic elites may some times tolerate
very limited reforms, learning to give a little in order to keep a lot.
But judging from Chile, Guatemala, Indonesia, and a number of other
places, they have a low tolerance for changes, even peaceful ones, that
tamper with the existing class structure and threaten the prerogatives
of corporate and landed wealth.
To
the rich and powerful it makes little difference if their interests are
undone by a peaceful transformation rather than a violent upheaval. The
means concern them much less than the end results. It is not the
"violent" in violent revolution they hate; it is the "revolution."
(Third World elites seldom perish in revolutions. The worst of them
usually manage to make it to Miami, Madrid, Paris, or New York.)
They
dread socialism the way the rest of us might dread poverty and hunger.
So, when push comes to shove, the wealthy classes of Third World
countries, with a great deal of help from the
corporate-military-political elites in our country, will use fascism to
preserve capitalism while claiming they are saving democracy from
communism.
A
socialist Cuba or a socialist North Korea, as such, are not a threat to
the survival of world capitalism. The danger is not socialism in any
one country but a socialism that might spread to many countries.
Multinational corporations, as their name implies, need the entire
world, or a very large part of it, to exploit and to invest and expand
in. There can be no such thing as "capitalism in one country."
The
domino theory-the view that if one country falls to the
revolutionaries, others will follow in quick succession-may not work as
automatically as its more fearful proponents claim, but there usually is
a contagion, a power of example and inspiration, and sometimes even
direct encouragement and assistance from one revolution to another.
Support the Good Guys?
If
revolutions arise from the sincere aspirations of the populace, then it
is time the United States identify itself with these aspi rations, so
liberal critics keep urging. They ask: "Why do we always find ourselves
on the wrong side in the Third World? Why are we always on the side of
the oppressor?"
Too
bad the question is treated as a rhetorical one, for it is deserving of
a response. The answer is that right-wing oppressors, however heinous
they be, do not tamper with, and give full support to, private
investment and profit, while the leftists pose a challenge to that
system.
There
are those who used to say that we had to learn from the communists,
copy their techniques, and thus win the battle for the hearts and minds
of the people. Can we imagine the ruling interests of the United States
abiding by this? The goal is not to copy communist reforms but to
prevent them.
How
would U.S. interventionists try to learn from and outdo the
revolutionaries? Drive out the latifundio owners and sweatshop bosses?
Kick out the plundering corporations and nationalize their holdings?
Imprison the militarists and torturers? Redistribute the land, use
capital investment for home consumption or hard currency exchange
instead of cash crop exports that profit a rich few?
Install
a national health insurance program and construct hospitals and clinics
at public expense? Mobilize the population for literacy campaigns and
for work in publicly owned enterprises? If U.S. rulers did all this,
they would have done more than defeat the communists and other
revolutionaries, they would have carried out the communists' programs.
They would have prevented revolution only by bringing about its
effects-thereby defeating their own goals.
U.S.
policy makers say they cannot afford to pick and choose the governments
they support, but that is exactly what they do. And the pattern of
choice is consistent through each successive administration regardless
of the party or personality in office. U.S. Ieaders support those
governments, be they autocratic or democratic in form, that are friendly
toward capitalism and oppose those governments, be they autocratic or
democratic, that seek to develop a noncapitalist social order.
Occasionally
friendly relations are cultivated with noncapitalist nations like China
if these countries show themselves in useful opposition to other
socialist nations and are sufficiently open to private capital
exploitation. In the case of China, the economic opportunity is so huge
as to be hard to resist, the labor supply is plentiful and cheap, and
the profit opportunities are great.
In
any one instance, interventionist policies may be less concerned with
specific investments than with protecting the global investment system.
The United States had relatively little direct investment in Cuba,
Vietnam, and Grenada-to mention three countries that Washington has
invaded in recent years.
What
was at stake in Grenada, as Reagan said, was something more than
nutmeg. It was whether we would let a country develop a competing
economic order, a different way of utilizing its land, labor, capital,
and natural resources. A social revolution in any part of the world may
or may not hurt specific U.S. corporations, but it nevertheless becomes
part of a cumulative threat to private finance capital in general.
The
United States will support governments that seek to suppress guerrilla
movements, as in El Salvador, and will support guerrilla movements that
seek to overthrow governments, as in Nicaragua. But there is no
confusion or stupidity about it. It is incorrect to say, "We have no
foreign policy" or "We have a stupid and confused foreign policy."
Again,
it is necessary not to confuse subterfuge with stupidity. The policy is
remarkably rational. Its central organizing principle is to make the
world safe for the multinational corporations and the free-market
capital-accumulation system. However, our rulers cannot ask the U.S.
public to sacrifice their tax dollars and the lives of their sons for
Exxon and Chase Manhattan, for the profit system as such, so they tell
us that the interventions are for freedom and national security and the
protection of unspecified "U.S. interests."
Whether
policy makers believe their own arguments is not the key question.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Sometimes presidents Richard
Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Bill Clinton were doing their
hypocritical best when their voices quavered with staged compassion for
this or that oppressed people who had to be rescued from the communists
or terrorists with U.S. missiles and troops, and sometimes they were
sincere, as when they spoke of their fear and loathing of communism and
revolution and their desire to protect U.S. investments abroad.
We
need not ponder the question of whether our leaders are motivated by
their class interests or by a commitment to anti-communist ideology, as
if these two things were in competition with each other instead of
mutually reinforcing. The arguments our leaders proffer may be
self-serving and fabricated, yet also sincerely embraced. It is a
creed's congruity with one's material self-interest that often makes it
so compelling.
In
any case, so much of politics is the rational use of irrational
symbols. The arguments in support of interventionism may sound and may
actually be irrational and nonsensical, but they serve a rational
purpose.
Once
we grasp the central consistency of U.S. foreign policy, we can move
from a liberal complaint to a radical analysis, from criticizing the
"foolishness" of our government's behavior to understanding why the
"foolishness" is not random but persists over time against all contrary
arguments and evidence, always moving in the same elitist, repressive
direction.
With
the collapse of the Soviet Union and other Eastern European communist
governments, U.S. Ieaders now have a freer hand in their interventions. A
number of left reformist governments that had relied on the Soviets for
economic assistance and political protection against U.S. interference
now have nowhere to turn. The willingness of U.S. Ieaders to tolerate
economic deviations does not grow with their sense of their growing
power.
Quite
the contrary. Now even the palest economic nationalism, as displayed in
Iraq by Saddam Hussein over oil prices, invites the destructive might
of the U.S. military. The goal now, as always, is to obliterate every
trace of an alternative system, to make it clear that there is no road
to take except that of the free market, in a world in which the many at
home and abroad will work still harder for less so that the favored few
will accumulate more and more wealth.
That
is the vision of the future to which most U.S. Ieaders are implicitly
dedicated. It is a vision taken from the past and never forgotten by
them, a matter of putting the masses of people at home and abroad back
in their place, divested of any aspirations for a better world because
they are struggling too hard to survive in this one.

Libye: l'OTAN
emploie de l'uranium appauvri

IRIB- Le Centre de recherche sur la mondialisation, "Center for Research on Globalisation", (CRG), a révélé l'usage, par l'OTAN, d'uranium appauvri, en Libye. Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya,
chercheur associé au centre, a dit, lors d'un entretien avec Press TV,
que l'OTAN a commis des crimes de guerre, en ayant recours à l'uranium
appauvri. Nazemroaya, qui se trouve, à Tripoli, affirme que les
chasseurs-bombardiers de l'Alliance bombardent et détruisent les
hôpitaux, les maisons et les hôtels. A noter que le Conseil de sécurité a
ratifié les résolutions 1.970 et 1.973, décrétant une zone d'exclusion
aérienne, pour, en effet, faire face aux raids aériens contre les
opposants et prendre les mesures nécessaires, afin de soutenir les
civils, face à la répression exercée par le régime de Mouammar Kadhafi.
Pourtant, des milliers de personnes ont été tuées, aussi bien, par les
mercenaires de Kadhafi, que par l'OTAN.
