How 90% of American Households Lost an Average of $17,000 in Wealth to the Plutocrats in 2016

America has always been great for the richest 1%, and it's rapidly becoming greater. Confirmation comes from recent work by Thomas Piketty, Emmanuel Saez, and Gabriel Zucman; and from the 2015-2016 Credit Suisse Global Wealth Databooks (GWD). The data relevant to this report is summarized here.

Thousands of Detainees Used as Forced Labor, a Violation of Anti-slavery Laws

Tens of thousands of immigrants detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were forced to work for $1 day, or for nothing at all -- a violation of federal anti-slavery laws -- a lawsuit claims.

The lawsuit, filed in 2014 against one of the largest private prison companies in the country, reached class-action status this week after a federal judge's ruling. That means the case could involve as many as 60,000 immigrants who have been detained.

'Day Without Immigrants': Protest closes restaurants in US

The heart of Philadelphia's Italian Market was uncommonly quiet. Fine restaurants in New York, San Francisco and the nation's capital closed for the day. Grocery stores, food trucks, coffee shops, diners and taco joints in places like Chicago, Los Angeles and Boston shut down.

Immigrants around the U.S. stayed home from work and school Thursday to demonstrate how important they are to America's economy, and many businesses closed in solidarity, in a nationwide protest called A Day Without Immigrants.

Hinter der parteiübergreifenden Mauer

Während die westliche Presse die Erweiterung der Trennmauer zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und Mexiko unwiderruflich verurteilt, erinnert uns Manlio Dinucci, dass sie nicht von einem protektionistischen Willen stammt, sondern ganz im Gegenteil, von der Globalisierungs-Politik. Diese Konstruktion ist ein überparteiliches Projekt, angefangen von Bill Clinton, und von George Bush Jr. und Barack Obama weiter verfolgt.

The Illusion of Freedom: The Police State Is Alive and Well

There is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of this country.

Anytime you have an entire nation so mesmerized by the antics of the political ruling class that they are oblivious to all else, you’d better beware. Anytime you have a government that operates in the shadows, speaks in a language of force, and rules by fiat, you’d better beware. And anytime you have a government so far removed from its people as to ensure that they are never seen, heard or heeded by those elected to represent them, you’d better beware.
