Everyone Panic At Once!

DRUGS HAVE BEEN FOUND ON JUSTIN BIEBER'S TOUR BUS!

And now that you're properly anxious...

• Bush Presidential Library opens.  Calls for indictment made.  (It's too late.  Talk to Suetonius over there.)  From Mills River Progressive.

  You lied, manipulated/manufactured "evidence", tortured, killed, and borrowed money this country didn't have to pay for your plundering. You used 9/11, which happened on your watch, to justify invading a country that had nothing to do with it. And that's aside from your probable foreknowledge (at the least) of the event. Then you and your freakshow cohorts in Congress used the same 9/11 to gut American civil liberties. Permanently. Because after all, the "war on terra" goes on forever and ever, doesn't it? At least as long as it's profitable for the MIC and pleasing to Israel, anyway.

• Different weird billionaire brothers, who have to do with drones.  Their names are not Jake or Elwood, either.  (Reprinted Reposted at AlterNet from Not Safe For Work Corporation.)
• Robert Reich two-minute video on Chained CPI and why it's bad for seniors.  Reposted at AlterNet from Robert Reich's Blog.
• Some more about the Nestlé CEO who wants to privatize water.

  Peter Brabeck, who it should be noted, also sits on the boards of Exxon, L’Oréal, and the banking giant Credit Suisse, warned in 2009 that the global economic crisis would be “very deep” and that, “this crisis will go on for a long period.” On top of that, the food crisis would be “getting worse” over time, hitting poor people the hardest. However, propping up the financial sector through massive bailouts was, in his view,“absolutely essential.” But not to worry, as banks are bailed out by governments, who hand the bill to the population, which pays for the crisis through reduced standards of living and exploitation (which we call “austerity” and “structural reform” measures), Nestlé has been ableto adapt to a new market of impoverished people, selling cheaper products to more people who now have less money. And better yet, it’s been making massive profits. And remember, according to Brabeck, isn’t that all that really matters?
  
  This is the world according to corporations. Unfortunately, while it creates enormous wealth, it is also leading to the inevitable extinction of our species, and possibly all life on earth. But that’s not a concern of corporations, so it doesn’t concern those who run corporations, who make the important decisions, and pressure and purchase our politicians.
