20 Ordinary Americans Talk About The Economic Despair That Is Growing Like A Cancer All Around Them

By Michael Snyder: There are hundreds of formerly prosperous communities all over America that are being steadily transformed into rotting, decaying hellholes.  The good paying middle class jobs that once supported those communities are long gone, and they have been replaced with low paying service jobs if they have been replaced at all.  When you visit those communities, it is almost as if all of the hope has been sucked right out of the air.  It can be absolutely heartbreaking to look into the hollow eyes of someone that has totally given in to despair, but unfortunately the number of Americans that are giving up on the economy continues to grow.  Today, the labor participation rate is the lowest that it has been in 35 years, and more than 100 million Americans are enrolled in at least one welfare program.  It is easy to say that they should just "get a job", but as I have written about repeatedly, our economy simply is not producing enough jobs for everyone anymore.  The percentage of working age Americans with a job has remained at the same level that it was at during the worst days of the last recession, and meanwhile the quality of our jobs has continued to steadily decline.  Median household income has fallen for five years in a row, but the cost of living continues to rise rapidly.  The middle class is being systematically shredded, and poverty is growing at an alarming rate.  The U.S. economy has been in decline for a long time, and the really bad news is that it appears that this decline is about to accelerate.

US surveillance an 'affront' - Brazil's Rousseff to UN

RT: Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff lambasted US spying on her country at Tuesday’s UN summit, calling it a “breach of international law.” She further warned that the NSA surveillance, revealed since June, threatened freedom of speech and democracy.

“Meddling in such a manner in the lives and affairs of other countries is a breach of international law and as such it is an affront to the principles that should otherwise govern relations among countries, especially among friendly nations,” Rousseff said.
“Without the right to privacy, there is no real freedom of speech or freedom of opinion,” Rousseff told the gathering of world leaders. “And therefore, there is no actual democracy,” she added, criticizing the fact that Brazil had been targeted by the US.

“A country's sovereignty can never affirm itself to the detriment of another country's sovereignty,” she added.

British friends of apartheid Israel seek to turn the pro-Palestinian tide in universities

UK BANNED Press TV: British friends of Israel, supporters of the nuclear, Zionist apartheid regime of Israel and its expansionist policies, are promoting pro-Israeli propaganda initiatives at Britain’s universities as students start a new academic year.

In an attempt to undermine Palestine solidarity campaigns in the UK, the Union of Jewish Students (UJS) is hiring Canadian Beca Bookman, whose main area of expertise comprises working with the apartheid regime of Israel to weaken Palestinian solidarity movements. Bookman has already received a “Hasbara in Action” award from the Menachem Begin Foundation for his anti-Palestinian activities.

The Ego Balloon - ΤΟ ΜΠΑΛΟΝΙ ΤΟΥ ΕΓΩ

SHAPING OUR WORLD: First the international banksters checked the economic system of humanity by gaining the right in each country or regional association to issue their own money and give it to countries with interest. Then they created physical industry, producing infinite material goods. Through the Media they enchanted humans and created the need to earnestly want to acquire. In order to capture them, a balloon was inserted into his own Ego and a pump was used to inflate it. The pump that blows air and inflates the balloon was the person through choices, to undermine the good in us and to deliver it. As long as man inflates the balloon of ego and pull us down both international banksters offered him the opportunity to enjoy the goods, which they themselves created. Man closed his entire being and soul into this balloon. As long as the body tastes material pleasures both the soul is rotting and the person feels fake security.

Time for the Greek liberal/left to combine and fight its real enemies, not Golden Dawn

An appeal to Greece from one of its oldest supporters

The Slog: I’ve been spending quite a l0t of time time travelling in and out of, and around, Greece over the last month. Last night I was in Kalamata -  the Messinian capital in the Peloponnese, a warm place with cool people in it….albeit alongside the increased level of muggings and burglary that have marred Greece since the crisis took hold in a big way four years ago.
Although Kalamatians miss the elegant capital they used to inhabit, there are still huge parts of it – the Castle, the old town, the seafront taverna bars and the newer hip venues in the centre – that could rival any civilised European city for fascination and charm. Now that Antoniki (Samaras) has corruptly ensured a spanking new motorway links his home region to Athens, Kalamata offers easy access to all things of real importance in contemporary Greece. Traditionally, this area is solidly Right Wing (New Democracy) but last night Kalamata was the venue for a large joint Left demonstration in the centre against the neo-Nazi Party Golden Dawn. Or – put another way – the Left in Greece is just as parochial in its hatreds (and irrelevant in its enemies) as it is everywhere else in Europe.
The more time I spend in Greece, the more it becomes obvious that it is the same squeezed, respectable middle and lower classes that are paying the price of mad EU hubris, corrupt bureaucrats, political embezzlers and professional State rip-off greed as elsewhere in Europe.

A Deep Look into the Shady World of the Private Prison Industry

By Michael Krieger: Private prisons are antithetical to a free people. Of all the functions a civilized society should relegate to the public sector, it’s abundantly clear incarceration should be at the very top of the list. Jailing individuals is a public cost that a society takes on in order to ensure there are consequences to breaking certain rules that have been deemed dangerous to the happiness and quality of life within a given population. However, the end goal of any civilized culture must be to try to keep these cost as low possible. This should  be achieved by having as few people as possible incarcerated, which is most optimally achieved by reducing incidents of criminality within the population. Given incarceration is an undesirable (albeit necessary) part of any society, the idea is certainly not to incentivize increased incarceration by making it extremely profitable. This is a perverse incentive, and one that is strongly encouraged by the private prison industry to the detriment of society.
I’ve written many highlighting the negative consequences of the private prison industry, and these have focused on the two biggest names in the space. Corrections Corp of America (stock ticker, CXW) and GEO Group.

'Americans and a Briton' among Kenya shopping mall attackers

Best Vidoes Ever: Kenyan special forces were still fighting on Tuesday morning what sources said were "one or two" Islamist militants inside the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi.
As sporadic gunfire and an explosion were heard at dawn, the attackers were said to be isolated either inside or next to a casino on one of the upper floors.
Earlier Kenya's interior ministry said its forces were in control of the centre and that all hostages had been freed.
The government says the militants include several foreigners.
"(There are) two or three Americans and I think so far I have heard of one Brit... a woman and I think she has done this many times before,"
