occupy wall street is coming up and people are talking today on the program jay ponte author and activist who is on the ground at occupy l a he has a new book out about how occupy wall street led to the bernie revolution and then on the second half of the show jay poncy our first guest is going to be hosting noam chomsky that's right noted activist professor linguist and philosopher noam

that the occupy wall street movement achieved nothing and was by and large a failure why because september 17th marks the 10-year anniversary of occupy wall street and the mainstream news doesn't want anyone to think that progressives did something important and are currently organizing and being effective and that their viewers might want to get off the couch and get involved most folks outside the movement don't

that the occupy wall street network is directly responsible for the political rise presidential bids of senator bernie sanders jay thanks for joining us today hi i'm so sorry it's actually uh the book is called be the revolution how the bernie sanders movement and how occupy wall street and the bernie sanders movement reshaped american politics well starts now as the political revolutionaries handbook

you know uh abby hoffman at wall street directly it was also used against the fifa president um to protest their corruption and then the news networks just went bananas for it and we became the sort of stupid thing of the week and uh then they went into overdrive uh the mainstream news went into overdrive trying to claim that we were misogynists even though most of our organizers were women

still suggesting that occupy wall street didn't achieve much talk about what they are missing well what they in my opinion what they're missing is that number one occupy wall street got people out of the house got us from got out from behind the keyboard and it it had people challenge the hegemony of the

direct manifestation of occupy wall street organizing efforts a small group of occupiers got together saw the writing on the wall that um the hillary clinton hillary clinton would be the obvious presumptive nominee and you know that should not go unanswered and so literally organized to mobilize the occupy network and push bernie to run really super important a lot of those groups those affinity groups for bernie sanders in various cities um you know

uh occupy wall street's um you know basically they tried to bury us but they didn't realize we were seeds like and a lot of us continued to you know they continued to uh we continued to organize to this very day and occupy brought brought us all together you know the the internet allowed um you know there were groups like

occupy wall street and in my opinion the path forward really is about um and i'm not alone in thinking this uh most see we've learned a lot since occupy wall street you know for a lot of us myself i'll speak for myself um it wasn't that um for a lot of us we we learned that you need to build inside and outside

wall street and she told those organizers directly that she there was uh i think at one point she told one of them leave me alone there's no way i'm gonna do this and what i can say is that um i i believe that if elizabeth warren had stepped up to take on the clinton machine she would have received the as just as much um support as bernie sanders did i know i would have um i

occupy wall street and the bernie sanders movement reshaped american politics and uh it should be out before thanksgiving we're in the last round of edits looking forward to that i've had the pleasure of reading the first uh first run and it was really a page turner um coming up next on the show jay will be having a conversation with author professor activist noam chomsky jay are you excited to be talking with

anniversary of occupy wall street so i wanted to know from your perspective what was the importance of occupy wall street then what is its relevance today and especially in light of say the new ipcc report which is telling us that we have roughly eight years to go carbon neutral or carbon negative well i should start by saying that the

wall street got people out of the house in light of this moment can you talk a little bit about the import of the 10th anniversary and this moment we're facing as a civilization the atomization is very real hardly it's partly it's explicitly planned you may remember when the

who are involved in occupy wall street our experience with coming into bernie 2016 and 2020 was a little different than those who who were who just got into uh grassroots activism at that time but you have in many ways you have been the conscience the moral witness the memory of the left and i just wanted to to hear your

windows on wall street and get people against the world yeah the weather underground the vietnamese were appalled by this what they wanted is simple non-violent tactics they didn't care whether people in the united states felt that they're carrying out the revolution which they're not

i think came away from occupy wall street with that understanding that without collective bargaining without a an inside outside strategy without building real power making real systemic change is not possible combating the quite clever republican strategy of even mobilizing poll watchers taking over school boards working at the state

10th anniversary of occupy wall street if you're in los angeles new york boston there will be events i would encourage you to get out from behind the computer go and have your own event and act tv will be live streaming events on those days on that weekend and uh moreover i just want to encourage everybody to go out and realize that you there's no one coming to save us it's us and it's only

elderly is also "surging," the Wall Street Journal reports: "several million older Americans are going hungry -- and their numbers are growing steadily," despite a federal law in force for 20 years "aimed at providing free meals to anyone over 60." Many are literally "starving to death" while some 5 million, about 16% of the population over 60, "are either hungry or malnourished to some degree" -- again, phenomena unknown in other

capital-intensive companies," the Wall Street Journal reported in December, reviewing an array of tax breaks and other devices that will "provide a sizable subsidy" to corporations, possibly eliminating taxable income entirely for large firms, and increasing the deficit in accord with the Reaganite version of "fiscal conservatism." The program is carefully crafted so that its impact will not be felt until 1997 -- coincidentally, after

and received a few words in the Wall Street Journal as well. The Journal returned to the topic a few weeks later in an article by Alan Murray on the tax breaks that "shower billions in benefits on the oil and gas, timber, cattle-breeding and real-estate industries and others," one minor component of the "nanny state" for the rich. Murray referred to "Mr. Reich's broadside against corporate welfare," noting that it "was quickly shot

lobbyists' gifts in the new rules," the Wall Street Journal mentioned on p. 16. There was also brief notice in the Times, quoting the reaction of the Commander-in-Chief himself. Gingrich said he'd "heard rumors that imply that they're just into sort of a fairly stupid strategy of cheap and nasty," which "makes one wonder just how dumb they think the American people are." Imagine how the public would react to the idea of making it harder

The Wall Street Journal 's review of economic performance for the last quarter of 1995 is headlined: "Companies' Profits Surged 61% on Higher Prices, Cost Cuts." After-tax profits rose 62% from 1993, up from 34% for the third quarter. In a full-page ad, a leading lender, the CIT Group, announced proudly that "Corporate America Posted Record Profits In 1994." The headline in Business Week read: "It Doesn't

reason is again explained by the Wall Street Journal. This transfer repeals a "cost-containment competitive bidding measure" that placed onerous market conditions on the four pharmaceutical companies that sell infant formula. They "stand to gain as much as a billion dollars" a year over and above the successes of their evasions of the federal law, now being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission. Note that taxpayers will save

Rising Global Joblessness," the Wall Street Journal reports, noting however that "many management theorists" regard the analysis as outdated because "the whole concept of a job -- steady work at steady pay from the same employer -- must be discarded." The only major exception to the growing catastrophe of global capitalism is East and Southeast Asia, with the exception of the Philippines -- incidentally, the sole part of the fastest

recalculation was reasonable, the Wall Street Journal explained, because the profits gained abroad "benefit companies domestically through greater investment and R&D." The recalculation interprets the words "United States" in the terms that matter for the "principal architects of policy: not the geographical area or its people, but the people who count. 9

The Wall Street Journal talks uneasily about "class warfare" -- a term usually avoided like the plague in respectable circles -- referring to a war over "values" that pits the "upper-middle class elites of professionals and managers," their constituency, against the guy in the street who supports the Republican Party that is supposed to do the bidding of these upper-middle class elites. The religious conservatives

`Contract With America'," the Wall Street Journal reports, which is true only under a special but perhaps accurate interpretion of the support for the Pentagon on the part of their forces, who, unlike the CEOs, are not much interested in the government's role as the "savior" of advanced industry. Furthermore, they come from sectors of the population that really are cringing in fear and terror, seeing enemies coming to get them

become "a pro-business dynamo," the Wall Street Journal observes, serving private power to an unprecedented degree. But the Gingrich army doesn't understand, which leads to an "uncanny circumstance: Big business allied with a Democratic administration against Republic proposals to trim Commerce's sails." The same is true of the Export-Import Bank, the National Institutes of Health (which have "given birth to the biotechnology industry,"

was already evident The Wall Street Journal had a story in which they hailed what they called a welcome development of transcendent importance the welcomed development of transcendent importance was that in 1985 before the effect of these reforms had hit the United States had the highest wages technically highest labor costs per unit output of any industrial country which is pretty much what you'd expect this is by far

a look at the Wall Street Journal which either yesterday or the day before had a story with the following headline it said Republicans take aim at left-leaning groups that get federal grants for assistance program and then it programs that explains how they're going to try to defund the left-wing groups that are getting federal funding the top left-wing go to the list the top one that that is Catholic Charities

jobs an earlier Wall Street Journal story pointed out that 16 percent of the elderly are starving but you want to make sure that the left-wing left that these you know and dangerous radicals the AARP aren't getting any funding to help them get jobs and it goes on like without comment you know and nobody's gonna write a letter yeah I mean we the spectrum is such that Catholic Charities and the AARP are now way off on the left

hidden in The Wall Street Journal and a couple of stories small stories and newspapers around the country you know like Akron Ohio and stuff places where editors aren't clever enough to know what's supposed to be totally suppressed it still hasn't made the New York Times or The Washington Post or as far as I recall the Boston Globe or most of the major newspapers well you know that's the kind of story

around 700,000 and at that point Wall Street you know business big business just decided look this isn't worth it anymore and they carried out a very unusual power play very open and unusual power play simply they sent down a delegation to Washington called the wise men and they basically told Johnson you know get lost it's over you know you're not running anymore time to whine down and so on which is pretty much what

that will even include the wall street journal' will change the spectrum within which they do things how much it'll change it you don't know there's limits obviously but it will change it the other thing is they'll change it is alternative there is no law of nature that says that there has to be a complete monopoly over information in the hands of huge corporations that's an institutional fact not a law of nature

actually is a big story in the Wall Street Journal about it a couple months ago so you know you can your good engineer you can figure out a way to implant an electrode and somebody's have been some supercomputer somewhere I'll have them under surveillance and if they go the wrong place you send out a shock or you know drug you know chemicals or something or other and that way you could have very efficient monitoring of and control of large parts of the

answer to that one again read the Wall Street Journal you know yesterday a couple days within the last couple days there was an article in which the manufacture parts manufacturers in the United States pointed out that if they get greater access to Japanese markets they'll be delighted because their profits will go up but they're going to supply them from overseas production which makes perfect sense if you think about it you know like if you're a

business press like The Wall Street Journal pointed out that's the right way to do it because the United States from their point of view point of view of their constituency doesn't mean the geographical borders it means the rich guys in the United States and for them there's a to create balance for the for the country there's a negative trade balance and in fact what's called trade isn't

Clinton's election of the Wall Street Journal had a lead article kind of reviewing his performance I was very upbeat it concluded that it pointed out that Clinton had come down on the same side as corporate America on every major issue I quoted top CEOs corporate executives of major corporations we're very happy about his performance described it as bed an improvement over Reagan and Bush

that's they The Wall Street Journal did find a few things that actually one thing in this article that they thought wasn't perfect there had been a government regulation about recycling of using of recycled paper or something like that and they thought that was kind of overdoing it radical but apart from that he was just about perfect and an improvement over Reagan and Bush well a year later the business community

weeks ago The Wall Street Journal had a headline which said that Brown had worked tirelessly for US industry but got little support from business in return which is true they could do even better so even though he was a tireless advocate of the industrial of the business community that wasn't enough by 1995 then the political system had improved over 1993 and in 1996 business now doesn't has to choose between two

was noticed by The Wall Street Journal which pointed out that Graham's well-funded campaign was the first one to collapse and it also pointed out that he this is kind of striking because he was the one presidential standard bearer for the congressional Republicans but he was wiped out instantly despite the fact that he was well funded and was making all the right noises The Wall Street Journal called this the cruelest irony

quickly Wall Street Journal had a headline saying that the voters apparently have abandoned their obsession with the budget with budget balancing their obsession with budget balancing was strong opposition to it under any realistic conditions as had continually been pointed out right through this whole period well again though cruel irony the but simple realism to be honest it should be

Wall Street Journal had a lead article a couple of weeks ago in which it compared the business it talked about various states and the different strategies they're taking to become more business friendly and to attract entrepreneurs and it picked as its example to States as lead story pick Virginia and Maryland and it talked about you know the slightly different strategies and described them and so on and compared to

The Wall Street Journal pointed out and the choices facing entrepreneurs turn out to be which public funds to loot and Maryland made a bad decision because more public funds were being poured into this other sector of the economy so Virginia is the winner and this in creating a business friendly environment in this way the that's gone too far Affairs leading International Affairs journal current issue has an article by

He "was the top House recipient in the 2008 election cycle of contributions from hedge funds, private equity firms and the larger securities/investment industry."

These extremists believe that NAFTA is designed "for the benefit of multinational corporations. Their rhetoric is pure down-with-the-rich populism," laced with "conspiratorial,

businesses in Mexico," while "Banks and Wall Street securities firms, which would probably draw more benefit from the pact than any other businesses, say that they are itching to buy Mexican businesses or invest in them." There will be some gainers among manufacturers too, primarily in high technology industry and pharmaceuticals, which will benefit from one of the many protectionist features that made NAFTA so attractive to corporate leaders:

"11th-Hour Bid for NAFTA," the Wall Street Journal reported, Clinton stressed that if the US did not succeed in locking Mexico into its protectionist sphere, the Japanese would do so; hardly a likely contingency, though the rhetoric is enlightening. Clinton's key point, the Journal observed, is "that Japan and Europe will capture the Mexican market if the U.S. doesn't"; we'd better establish protectionist barriers quickly, or someone

far that line reaches. A lead Wall Street Journal article on November 19 was headed: "Unlikely Allies: President Is Wooing, And Mostly Pleasing, Big-Business Leaders." The article does not explain why it is so "unlikely" that a conservative and outspokenly pro-business "New Democrat" should have kept to his consistent course; his "affinity for the business establishment continues a pattern begun when he was governor of Arkansas,"

Accordingly, it is natural for Clinton to tout the marvels of the free market at the Boeing Company, telling "a cheering throng" that Boeing "is a model for companies across America" and the prime example of the "new vision of American relations with Asia," where "China alone now buys one of every six of [Boeing's] planes"; the other prime

Of course, the big Wall Street players always hated being regulated and fought persistently, first to evade the regulations and then to dismantle them. They were largely successful through the 1980s and 1990s. But the full, official demise of the 1930s regulatory system came only in 1999, under the Democratic President Bill Clinton. At the time, virtually all leading mainstream economists -- including liberals, such

A large part of the problem is that Dodd-Frank included many opportunities for Wall Street players to delay enactment of laws they didn't like and for clever lawyers to figure out ways to evade the ones on the books.

The Financial Times reports projections that the Fed's asset holdings could reach $12 trillion by June -- i.e. 60 percent of U.S. GDP -- with further increases to follow. By comparison, just prior to the 2007 -2009 financial crisis, the

We could start by replacing the private health insurance industry with Medicare for All. The federal government could also take a controlling interest in the fossil fuel industry that must be put out of business, in any case, over the

Now, only 11 years later, we are about to rerun the same movie, only this time on a jumbotron screen.

At this moment especially, if businesses want to insist that they exist only to maximize profits for their owners, then the federal government needs to sever their lifelines.

The Magazine of Wall Street saw military spending as a way to "inject new strength into the entire economy," and a few years later, found it "obvious that foreign economies as well as our own are now mainly dependent on the scope of continued arms spending in this country," referring to the international military Keynesianism that finally succeeded in reconstructing state capitalist industrial societies abroad and

The Wall Street Journal reports a study by Battelle Memorial Institute showing that research spending will remain sluggish because of "a slowdown in weapons development." "Government spending over the past five years has swung toward space and energy programs, and away from weapons development" the principal author of the report said. That is government spending (the public subsidy) shifted from one component

Reagan's party for the rich as the Wall Street Journal are concerned by the consequences of the policies they advocated, such as the deterioration of the state college systems that supplied the needs of the corporate sector. "Public higher education -- one the few areas where America still ranks supreme -- is being pounded by state spending cuts," the Journal worriedly reports, echoing the concerns of businesses that "rely heavily on

veto-over U.S. economic policy," the Wall Street Journal reported immediately after the election. This consequence of the huge Reagan-Bush deficit will serve as brake on any odd ideas that Clinton advisers might have about spending, the Journal noted reassuringly; spending of the wrong kind, that is, not directed to the needs of "the country," in the technical sense.

enough, however, to frighten the Wall Street Journal, which ran a fevered front-page story warning of the "diverse coalition of grass-roots foes" that is "fighting `Nafta'," including the labor movement, populist farm groups, and environmental and religious organizations. These dangerous elements "hit pay dirt," the Journal reports ominously, receiving funds (a magnificent $50,000) from a branch of the Unitarian Church.

this is noticed the Wall Street Journal had a big article about it in 1992 they pointed out that from 1985 in 1985 the United States had the highest labor costs in the world which she'd expect in the richest Society in the world should have much higher ones in fact but in 1985 as you expect it would have the highest labor cost per unit output in the world and in 1992 it was second lowest in the

the 10th anniversary of occupy wall street so i wanted to know from your perspective what was the importance of occupy wall street then what is its relevance today and especially in light of uh say the new ipcc report which is telling us that we have roughly eight years to go carbon neutral or carbon negative well i should start by saying that the success of the

Not the kind of thing the one expects from a left-wing minister of finance, but I wanted to make things work at that point, not so much to go and clash with him. Do you know what he said?

But I think that the most important discussion I had was with somebody really high up in the IMF. The name will not be mentioned. Higher up than Poul Thomsen, you can imagine.

Shortly after the collapse of Wall Street, the great financial crisis, and just before the slide into a postmodern abyss of xenophobia, misanthropy, failed economic policies, austerity, debt deflation that will become a major source of uncertainty, of misanthropy, of pain and unnecessary not just for Europe but for the rest of the world. Allow me at this point, I have a pin that I've brought with me for DiEM to give to you which

remarkable level. I mean, even the Wall Street Journal, hardly a critical rag, (laughter) pointed out that no matter who gets elected in a European country, whether it's communist, fascist, anybody else, the policies remain the same. And the reason is they're all set in Brussels, by the bureaucracy, and the citizens of the national states have no role in this, and when they try to have a role, as in the Greek referendum, they get smashed

frenzy of indebtedness like here in Wall Street and so on and so forth. The moment the credit crunch begun after Lehman Brothers, the developers went bust, the developers' loans to the Anglo-Irish Bank and the various other shady banks in Ireland went bad, they became nonperforming, those banks immediately became insolvent, and then the president of the Central Bank, a certain Mr. Jean-Claude Trichet, called the Irish prime minister,

the Wall Street Journal you know hardly a critical rag pointed out that no matter who gets elected in a European country whether it's communists fascists anybody else the policies remain the same and the reason is they're all set in Brussels by the bureaucracy and the citizens of the National states have no role in this and when they try to have a role was in the Greek referendum they get smashed down that's a rare step

detail in a very important study by Wall Street Journal bureau chief Douglas Blackmon. During the post-World War II "golden age," African Americans were able for the first time to enjoy some level of social and economic advancement, but the disgraceful post-Reconstruction history has been partially reconstituted during the neoliberal years with the rapid growth of what some criminologists call "the prison-industrial complex," a uniquely

the few who matter. The mood on Wall Street was captured by two Bank of New York Mellon employees, who, as reported in The New York Times, "predicted their lives -- and pay -- would improve, even if the broader economy did not."

the equally apt prediction that "Wall Street, after getting billions of taxpayer dollars, will emerge from the financial crisis looking much the same as before markets collapsed." The reasons were pointed out, by, among others, Simon Johnson, former chief economist of the IMF: "Throughout the crisis, the government has taken extreme care not to upset the interests of the financial institutions, or to question the basic outlines of

opportunities for profit. Even The Wall Street Journal, one of the most stalwart deniers, recently published a supplement with dire warnings about "climate disaster," urging that none of the options being considered may be sufficient, and it may be necessary to undertake more radical measures of geoengineering, "cooling the planet" in some manner.

sometimes surreal. In May The Wall Street Journal reported:

appointments? (they are) straight out of Wall Street and Goldman Sachs. Take a look at the stock market, that tells you how people with power are evaluating his Presidency. (it) Shot up as soon as he was elected. The financial institutions zoomed. The world's biggest Coal Company 'Peabody' which was in bankruptcy had its stock go up by about 50% within days of his election. The military industry, energy industries, pharmaceuticals..they are

Dershowitz, which had 'Occupy Wall Street' and Wall Street together. Isn't this coalesce...

which had 'Occupy Wall Street' and Wall Street together. Isn't this coalesce...

with the rest, 'Occupy' versus Wall Street, what's the comparison? Actually, there is a comparison, but not what's being described. 'Occupy' is very small, it doesn't begin to compare with Wall Street. But the population does. And a lot of the population supports them (Occupy). In fact take the US election, in terms of numbers, Clinton won pretty easily. But more interestingly, if you look at younger voters, first of all Clinton

doesn't begin to compare with Wall Street. But the population does. And a lot of the population supports them (Occupy). In fact take the US election, in terms of numbers, Clinton won pretty easily. But more interestingly, if you look at younger voters, first of all Clinton won overwhelmingly, but Sanders won even more overwhelmingly. Here is somebody who came out of nowhere, no economic support, no rich supporters, no corporate

Wall Street looking for mathematics and physics PhDs about Wall Street but configure at all sorts of complicated scammed that you can use for minuscule shifting around of this trillion-dollar today to make a little money and on the side that's happening in England well if you go back and not only did the amount of exploded scale but it also changed radically character

agreement that even the Wall Street Journal is critical of but the and that's a way of beating down the wages so that pampered German workers who American workers now have some of the lowest kind of always oscillating I'm back with England I'm not sure who's the first place now as to where the lowest labor costs are us used to have the high ask about ten years ago as you'd expect in the richest country in the world but

Wall Street Journal was a little surprised that this level but they won and through the strike they'd explained why they were going to win first of all they're making huge profits secondly they had used those profits for a certain business strategy namely they didn't have invested in overseas facilities not for reasons of profit it's counter to profit but to give them access capacity so in case workers in

The Wall Street Journal had a story on how high tech firms are beginning will recognize if there's another ripoff at there alongside the Pentagon to get the public to pay your costs you can invent you know crazy surveillance systems with supercomputers implanting electrodes and people and so so forth and that's a way of getting the public to pay the costs of research and development it's not fast that people

know like the Wall Street Journal had a front page lead story couple of weeks ago in which they were comparing two states and their business strategies Virginia and Maryland we're talking about how they had slightly of course both trying to be very business friendly and that's what I think they did in slightly different ways and it was comparing these ways well you look closely it turns out it's

Wall Street Journal so a few days after the September 11th The Wall Street Journal - it began running serious stories in which they investigated opinions of people in the Islamic world who they are interested in what they called money Muslims the ones with rich ones the important ones so bankers international lawyers directors of multinational corporations people who are right inside the US system who

is the same as what the Wall Street Journal found and in nineteen in 2001 you know and for the same reasons because the policies haven't fundamentally change so that's so we understand I mean the Wall Street Journal only was concerned with a lead opinion if they'd gone down to the slums of Cairo they would have gotten stronger opinions but the same kind and more different ones also because in the slums

region the ones who The Wall Street Journal was talking about are quite happy about that because they are part of the ruling elite and they enrich themselves while the resources go to the west so they are part of the imperial system so you get different opinions if you bother to ask people in those so-called streets but fundamentally it's the same so there's a campaign so there's a bin Laden's messages certainly

even the Wall Street Journal is astonished though they pointed out recently in an article that which is correct but in Europe no matter what government is elected you know far left or right anything else they follow exactly the same policies because they have no role in setting policy the policies are set in the and by the bureaucrats and Brussels under the shadow of the Bundys funk so it doesn't

Wall Street Journal they say you know the problem is if these things come up opponents of these agreements have what they call an ultimate weapon namely the general population so therefore we have to keep them from coming up and they don't come up in elections and they're not discussed and the population more or less knows that even if they don't know all the details about you know GATS and so on yeah except you know anyone who

uh meanwhile this is noticed the Wall Street Journal had a big article about it in 1992 uh they pointed out that from 1985 in 1985 the United States had the highest labor costs in the world which she'd expect in the richest Society in the world should have much higher ones in fact but in 1985 as you expect it would have the highest labor cost per unit output in the world and in 1992 it was second lowest in the

of stuff that you do when you're in Wall Street speculating against currencies to drive down growth rates and and wages that's real work and you can tell from the fact that in our meritocracy you get very high pay for it on the other hand raising children let's say that's not even work at all you don't get paid a cent for that I got to be driven into the workforce which has the extra side benefit that as everybody knows when these people who aren't doing any work

starving The Wall Street Journal's went an article that year remember this is the richest country in the world with absolutely unparalleled Vantage's I mean the idea that anybody is starving is a scandal but the levels are way beyond anything else in the developed world in the in 1990-1991 that's before the bush recession which made things even worse and the clinton recovery which was historically unique in that its first

I heard here The Wall Street Journal had an article on that describing it as a welcome development of transcendent importance which indeed it is for the minority of the opulent the International Business Press has pointed out that international conditions make it offer new ways to do to achieve this not only can say General Motors either sinned or threatened to send production down to Mexico and Brazil and

The Wall Street Journal my favorite reading in fact a lot of good news incidentally I like the business press generally they had an article with the headline congressional Republicans call for defunding the left a couple of weeks ago so they're tired of all this public funds going into the pockets of radicals well the story went on to say Republicans take aim at left-leaning groups that get federal grants for

jobs remember that there's another Wall Street Journal story which said one out of six of those elderly Americans is suffering from malnutrition and many of them are in there literally starving but if somebody wants to try to help them get jobs we've got to fund these dangerous radicals and it goes on like that in fact you get a pretty clear sense of who the left is the left anybody who has any interest in helping human beings belongs to the left

This is noticed, the Wall Street Journal had a big article about it in 1992, they pointed out that from 1985... the United States had the highest labor costs in the world which you'd expect in the richest society in the world should have much higher ones in fact but in 1985 as you'd expect, it would have the highest labor cost per unit up in the world

and this was described by the Wall Street journal as a "welcome development of transcendent importance" as it is for their constituency uh... the business press the rest of the business press describes other factors that are involved in this welcome development. They Financial Times of London which is the big international business daily they... had article about the same time

are from Wall Street they're going after 'Hotshot... ...PhD's' in Physics and Maths without knowing anything about business but they just have to... figure out clever techniques for robbing people with all sorts of complicated scams so you can shift money around, you know, every micro second couple of billions of dollars to undercut currencies here and there and so on, that's

The "Wall Street Journal" having held the welcome development of transcendent importance in nineteen ninety-two noticed another one just a few weeks ago they said that in 1993 the changing unit labor cost finally reach a zero that's always inflation remember finally reach a zero, and that stayed there since 1993 that's another welcome development of transcendent importance, in fact

is the kind of stuff that you do when you're in Wall Street speculating against currencies to drive down growth rates and wages that's 'real' work and you can tell from the fact that in 'Ameritocracy' you get very high pay for it On the other hand, raising children let's say that's not even work at all, you know, you don't get paid a cent for that, you've gotta be driven into the work force which has the extra side benefit that as everybody knows when these people aren't doing any work, just taking care of children when they're driven into the workforce, they're gonna have to have subsidized jobs

people like say the Wall Street Journal so a few days after the September 11th The Wall Street Journal to which it began running serious stories in which they investigated opinions of people in the Islamic world who they're interested in what they called moneyed Muslims the ones with you know the rich ones the important ones so Bankers International lawyers and directors of multinational

the Wall Street Journal found and uh in 19 2001. you know and for the same reasons because the policies haven't fundamentally changed so that's so we understand uh I mean the Wall Street Journal only was concerned with a lead opinion if they'd gone down to the slums of Cairo they would have gotten stronger opinions but of the same kind and more different

the ones who the Wall Street Journal was talking about are quite happy about that because they're part of the ruling Elite and they enrich themselves while the resources go to the West so they're part of the imperial system so you get different opinions if you bother to ask people in the so-called streets but fundamentally it's the same so there's a camp so there so Bin Laden's message is certainly resonate

as I say Wall Street Journal is okay you know our current history is okay uh the Yale University volume on age of Terror is okay it's critics who are not allowed to raise motivations because critics are not allowed to exist okay so therefore they're not allowed to do what other people do or if I do anything they have to join the parade we've passed the point where you throw them into jail in the west but you try

was a big article in The Wall Street Journal about it him that a year ago pointing out that the big investment firms are making lots of money floating bonds for new prisons Merrill Lynch and the rest of them and furthermore that high tech industry the military industry what's mislabeled defense industry has realized that they can get in the act here's another cash cow you know another form of public subsidy to high-tech

reasons that mired here The Wall Street Journal had an article on that describing it as a welcome development of transcendent importance which indeed it is for the minority the International Business press has pointed out that international conditions make it offer new ways to do to achieve this not only can say General Motors either sinned or threatened to send production down to Mexico and Brazil and so on but now

recent article in The Wall Street Journal like the business press generally they had an article with the headline congressional Republicans call for defunding the left public funds going into the pockets of radicals well the story went on to say Republicans take aim at left-leaning groups that get federal grants for assistance programs bad stuff well who

jobs remember that there's another Wall Street Journal story which said one out of six of those elderly Americans is suffering from malnutrition and many of them are in their words literally starving but if somebody wants to try to help them get jobs we've got to fund these dangerous radicals and it goes on like that in fact you get a pretty clear sense of who the left is the left anybody who has any interest in helping human beings belongs to the left and has

taken control of the government. Wall Street, Military Security Complex, Agribusiness, the extractive industries -- their campaign donations elect the House, the Senate, the President, and they then write most of the bills that Congress passes and the President signs, so it's a form of state capitalism in which the capitalists seem to have the upper hand.

profits rise, and you resist, then Wall Street simply says 'if you resist we're going to finance a takeover, and we'll have somebody there who will move them.'

And the elites were in power in Wall Street, the banks, and in the Republican party, and all that got discredited. And up came Roosevelt -- not that they were very clever or successful, but some of the things they did worked and persisted until the Clinton administration. For example, the Glass Steagall Act, which was probably the best thing that ever happened to give financial stability...it was Clinton, or it was his regime, that

same. It's the government lying, Wall Street lying, it's the Federal Reserve lying...investigative reporting has just about disappeared in the United States. The newspapers can't afford it. And then you have the problem when they all get close to bankruptcy, and then the CIA subsidies become ever more appealing. CIA has always had assets in the media, but now they can have practically any asset they want because of the pressure of

look at the cabinet it's Wall Street goldman sachs the most most conservative reactionary elements that republican party actually what's going on with the health bill is very instructive every proposal that's coming from the republicans services analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office turns out it's eliminating health care for 20 or 30 million people the US system is already the health system is a scandal

FRAPH members interviewed by Wall Street Journal correspondents Helene Cooper and Jose de Cordoba said they had no problems with the Americans troops. While the attacks on the demonstrators are underway, one said, "U.S. soldiers riding by on their `Humvee' armored vehicles wave cheerfully to FRAPH members, who wave back." At the September 30 anniversary march, the WSJ report continues, "those Humvees, along with tanks and other

Texaco's denials. The next day, the Wall Street Journal ran a brief item by an unidentified staff reporter at the bottom of an inside page, reporting Bentsen's order for an investigation and a few of the facts. Similar reports, mostly short and on inside pages, appeared in local papers, but not the national press. All of this will have to come out sooner or later -- perhaps, after the Haiti operation goes irremediably sour and the time

anti-American statements," the Wall Street Journal reports. "His stubbornness and independence continue to drive U.S. officials to distraction." They expect better behavior from the lower orders. Senator Phil Gramm condemns Aristide as an "anti-American Marxist demagogue." Particularly outrageous was his reticence about thanking his rescuers as they proceeded to restore the power of the army and the wealthy, perhaps allowing him

Jose de Cordoba reports in the Wall Street Journal. The Mevs had met with Aristide in Washington to induce him to "moderate his position and reach out to the tiny, mostly anti-Aristide, Haitian middle class" -- an intriguing notion of "middle," when we consider the proportion of those who own almost all the nation's wealth. Inexplicably, the Mevs have been able "to build a huge tank farm to store fuel" during the embargo, backed

have just as well picked out the Wall Street Journal which are saying the same things. In fact, I've been mostly quoting them. They've done some quite good coverage. Since September 11th, the Journal , to its credit, has done some serious and responsible coverage of attitudes in the Middle East, generally, towards U.S. policies. And they're restricting their coverage, as you'd expect, to what they call "moneyed Muslims" -- the wealthier

The bankers and lawyers who the Wall Street Journal is interviewing, like others, condemn the United States for its strong opposition to democracy, for what they call, I'm quoting now, "propping up oppressive regimes," blocking democratic initiatives in the region, supporting states which are corrupt, brutal, repressive, cut back economic development and are often, as in the case of Saudi Arabia particularly, fanatic Islamic states.

you mention do not attack the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post or the Boston Globe or other mainstream sources which are trying, to an extent -- I'd like to see them do it more, but to an extent -- they're doing the sensible thing, distinguishing between the terrorist groups themselves and the general population and asking why the general population has sympathy for a good deal of what the terrorist groups are saying.

of analysis in papers like the Wall Street Journal . You now find that the sort of issues you've been trying to raise for years are being debated. Apart from foreign policy, does it involve a deepening self-awareness in the American elites? Is America seeing itself more clearly?

was a story in the Wall Street Journal about Massachusetts which had a headline that read what Fidelity Investment wants it usually gets okay and then the story went on to say that Fidelity Investment the biggest investment firm in Massachusetts wanted even more subsidy and support from the state government that it already gets and it was threatening if it didn't it would move over the border to Rhode Island

secret so like the Wall Street Journal had a headline which pointed out that when the reforms were you know moving through Congress it said Rich gain poor lose trade-offs for the middle class okay which is right that's exactly what the reforms are intended to do you have to remember my middle class they mean the people right below the very rich so they don't mean the median you know they're

Wall Street Journal and said we've been doing great and have been for a long time he didn't even bother to add what the Brazilian General did it's only the people who aren't doing well what he means by we is the top five percent or maybe top ten percent and that's right we've been doing great we're doing fine the economy is fine by now we don't even worry about the fact that the people aren't doing so

say the Wall Street Journal which you think would be the last holdout where somebody remembers what capitalism is well they had a front lead article a couple of weeks ago on various strategies that states meaning like states of the Union we're using to try to be more business friendly and the they pick two examples Virginia and Maryland who are sort of competing and to see who can most sponsor

please joe manchin deregulate wall street work across the aisle with republicans to do that this is what they actually try to have you believe the fact of the matter is you should be if you're a west virginia democrat as joe manchin always says he is you should be more populist now i get it on social issues he could be more conservative right because west virginia is culturally conservative so you're

he has to be for deregulating wall street and he has to be for lower wages it's like no you're the fact of the matter is the way these politicians act it's mostly because or a large part of it is because they're taking money from corporate interest so they're representing those corporate interests over the american people and that's where joe manchin is joe manchin is representing the corporate

york times in the wall street journal for 30 years you can hardly get more respectable than that and he says exactly what you just said he said there are two reasons for the war one is george bush's the administration's domestic political problems which accounts for the timing that's why it has to be now not say next year

lead story in this morning's wall street journal if you like that they put it a bit obliquely but what they point out which is correct uh is that the current bush administration which is very s it's many of the same people in the reagan administration that did exactly what they did 20 years ago they quickly drove the country into a big deficit by two number of factors but the ones

wall street journal points out correctly that this was the biggest increase in federal government spendings in 20 years 20 years happens to be when they did it the first time and now they're doing it again and the purpose is quite clear you'd be pretty blind not to see it but you don't want people to be paying attention to that it's okay if readers of the wall street journal do they're trustworthy but not

was reported in the wall street journal i don't see anywhere else and the and that continues i mean as uh the uh as when the us was bombing afghanistan uh as its the northern alliance was moving into kabul and the taliban fled uh the last thing that the us did before they their own forces took over was to

saying you know Wall Street fears economic growth there's something or no economic growth fear you have to reduce it economic growth is now considering an evil which has to be beaten down and there's a huge amount of cash around it overwhelms governments even rich ones like Aaron and that that was already understood but by the economics profession in the late seventies James Tobin and a presidential address to the

to say that The Wall Street Journal had a front-page story just a couple days ago saying yeah people what US oil companies are worried about the fact that other that Europeans are getting into the Iraqi fields ahead of us you know and they might and it says oil companies fear loss of jobs in Iraq yeah that's just what they fear but the point if profits are invisible you know that you don't mention them even and

story in The Wall Street Journal about Massachusetts which had a headline that read what fidelity investment wants it usually gets okay and then the story went on to say that fidelity investment the biggest investment firm in Massachusetts wanted even more subsidy and support from the state government that it already gets and it was threatening if it didn't it would move over the border to Rhode Island where it

so like the Wall Street Journal had a headline which pointed out that when the reforms were you know moving through Congress it's a rich gain poor lose trade-offs for the middle class okay which is right that's exactly what the reforms are intended to do you have to remember my middle class they mean the people right below the very rich so they don't mean the median you know they're not talking about people with 30,000 a

interviewed by The Wall Street Journal and said we've been doing great and have been for a long time he didn't even bother had what the Brazilian general did it's only the people who aren't doing well what he means by we is the top 5% maybe top 10% and that's right we've been doing great we're doing fine the economy is fine by now we don't even worry about the fact that the people

example take say The Wall Street Journal which think the last holdout remembers what capitalism is well they had a front lead article a couple of weeks ago on various strategies that states meaning like states of the union we're using to try to be more business friendly and the they pick two examples Virginia and Maryland who are sort of competing and to see hookans most sponsor entrepreneurial

insurance industry Wall Street hmos you know that's political the pharmaceutical industry that's political support in fact if 98 of the population wanted it would still be not political support and you see this from these incredible polls what they basically show is you know the whole population is so far to the left of both parties that you can understand why the polls aren't published uh in fact on the major polls

there was a report in the Wall Street Journal which is usually a pretty honest journal and it's reporting but it's just completely falsified it you know it picked a couple of lines out that happened to fit their editorial line and skip the rest uh but for the most part it's just ignorance like the Lancer article except even worse because it wasn't even mentioned uh you know these are major studies of public opinion

into the right Pockets namely Wall Street firms and money managers that's the basic transfer but this might sound a much deeper involved I mean Social Security is based on a principle which is considered subversive and has to be driven out of people's heads namely the principle that you care about other people that's Social Security Social Security is based on the assumption that we care about each other we have a

stories in the Wall Street Journal going in considerable depth exposing corruption in a deep sense I don't mean robbery but the way the system undermines fundamental human needs you find that reported in the Wall Street Journal much more likely than than in the so-called liberal press because their constituency has to know these things they have to have a realistic conception of the world

Wall Street Journal while back I was lamenting the fact that it's hard to pass these procedures that keep that insulate trade agreements from popular pressure it's very hard to pass them because public doesn't like them and they said the problem is that opponents of these measures have what they called an ultimate weapon the ultimate weapon is that the population is opposed so therefore you have to somehow do it in

weapon Wall Street Journal terms against what they're carrying out which is exactly why it has to be done in secret so for example at the that they freed the the summit of the Americas last April was a good example all right this big Beck meetings it was discussing the free trade area of the Americas how much discussion had there been in the in public say in the press about what the free trade area of the Americas

think the Wall Street Journal is quite correct and other business press and recognizing and in fact polls show us this that the public is quite concerned and are strongly opposed to government decisions on many issues like for example the so-called trade agreements so people would I'm sure like very much to know what's going on at the FTA but what's being planned for them but they don't get that choice that choice is not

weapon and the Wall Street Journal's term you know they're going to be opposed you just don't raise those issues raise issues of you know this guy I look good at friendly or you know you like to meet him or something like that also the failure to vote is from this point of view which i think is an accurate one is not opposition to democracy its commitment to democracy

uh wall street lawyers and financiers well that kind of you know that's a little kind of on the vulgar marxist side and it wasn't quite that but you get the idea sort of had the general idea correct uh in the uh and that in those days there was no crisis democracy that's exactly the way things were supposed to be

couple of wall street lawyers and financiers doing it well that's the struggle right in the middle of uh the efforts to restore passivity have been a mixed success not completely by any means uh we're right in the middle of it now and the lines that are drawn are the usual ones uh quite currently in fact take say the

include in this case the wall street journal journal which the business press often quite accurate uh they had a good article yesterday i mean you know you gotta decode it you know but basically what it pointed out is what some of the really good korean specialists like bruce cummings have been trying to say for a long time the south koreans

yesterday's wall street journal and you read it with the pop proper translations that's essentially what it says uh canon uh containment uh you know i wouldn't take that too seriously canon there's a lot of propaganda about that i mean canon's own view was that the soviet union posed no threat to western europe at all no military threat that was his view

consensus or the Wall Street uh treasury complex jish Battis phrase ecist of Colombia or it's called NATO or the international economic bureaucracy or G7 or G3 or sometimes more realistically G1 uh and uh from a more fundamental point of view uh we could describe it as an array of uh Mega corporations um often linked to one another by strategic alliances which administer the global economy uh that

business week and Fortune and the Wall Street Journal they're just delighted I mean they're also delighted about the harm to everyone else uh so in 1992 about the early 90s uh by that time after you know the Reagan period uh us labor costs per unit output you know what it cost in labor to get something produced uh which had been the highest in the world as you would expect for the richest country in the world it should be the highest in the world uh by the

the Wall Street Journal described this with ecstasy as a was the phrase a welcome development of transcendent importance you know not a small thing uh Business Week chimed in by saying that now at last workers are going to have to give up their luxurious Lifestyles you know uh and uh kind of suffer properly uh the financial times you know the main the main International Business Journal in London uh around the same time had an

read about it in some detail in the Wall Street Journal however in the Asian edition of The Wall Street Journal they didn't print it in the American Edition by their top Asia hand Barry Wayne uh so those are things you know that that's all that's part of Kissinger's act but it's only the beginning a Chile was another case uh another case this a long story I don't want to go into it in detail but another case what's called here the Middle East peace process I

point where the wall street journal about it two years ago or so had an article discussing the opportunities for high-tech industry to get into the security business you know even plant electrodes and people and you have super computers having them under surveillance and so on it's not crazier than

like the wall street journal and the new york times and the washington post and that sector i don't think is really going to change much because they go to a very and they are the attendings agenda setting media uh on the other hand the rest of the media yeah they may very well go the way of uh say the table the mirror and it takes state britain

was in the wall street journal or somewhere where they were describing the fantastic potential of the internet because interact or all the interactive stuff and the idea sort of was like this this from memory i may have by now i may be remembering my retelling of the story but it was something like this

of them were from wall street corporate recruiters they were going after math and physics phds these guys don't know anything about wall street but they're smart guys who know how to work out complicated scams uh that'll enable you to get a tiny bit more profit by you know some intricate device in speculative markets uh that's having

think the Occupy Wall Street movement signals that were on the verge or perhaps already in a legitimation crisis in the hub irma see and sense of the word I think we've been in a legitimate crisis for a long time the Occupy Wall Street and the whole set of movements like it around the country in fact around the world is a reaction to a long-standing crisis of legitimacy of political and economic institutions

well Occupy Wall Street is a reaction to this different taking different forms than the reaction to similar policies in different parts of the world but the answer reaction where will it go you never know where we'll go depends on how much commitment and dedication there is how far it can it's very atomized Society so the question is can it help organize and mobilize people to struggle for their own rights the way it's been

go in the repression of the wall street occupiers um I was reading that supposedly there was a conference call with 18 heads of municipalities along with the FBI and Homeland Security there seemed to be a coordinated crack down on the occupiers using seemingly increasing levels of brutality what's your assessment of the situation and how far do you think that will go I think that depends on people like us the more

reading The Wall Street Journal the business press Yeah right wing journals left-wing journals and then you just have to use your own discernment there isn't any there's no algorithm there's no particular tricks it's kind of like in sciences you just have to figure out where you're getting something that makes sense to you and that you think you can build on thank you very much of you have mentioned us relations with the

businesses in Mexico banks and Wall Street securities firms which would probably draw more benefit from the pack than any other businesses say they're itching to buy mexican businesses or invest in them some manufacturers would gain namely high-tech industry and pharmaceuticals both of which would benefit they didn't mention this but I add would benefit from the increased protection this version map is highly protectionist

to be the gainers incidentally the Wall Street Journal noticed this and pointed out that Clinton is typical Democrats in that his real commitments are at the big business not to the entire business community and this respect the Democrats are somewhat different from the Republicans who are just the business party you know but the Democrats have a kind of more nuanced added to include the business community and this is one of the numerous respects

press so for example The Wall Street Journal had a very enthusiastic article about a month ago describing what they call a welcome development of transcendent importance namely wages in the United States had sunk to below any industrial country except for England which has done even better and beating down the working class in the poor we hadn't yet made it to South Korea and Taiwan and Papua New

luxurious lifestyles in The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times and elsewhere we read about how workers and unions are going to have to understand that the era of affluence and easy life and secure jobs and so on is over that's the thing of the past notice that bosses and investors don't have to understand anything of the kind what they understand is that the era of greater profits has come because that's

Wall Street Journal lamented that this will let China get ahead of us in producing fossil fuels and we have to be the first to fall off the precipice that's American exceptionalism without a comment uh another opponent to progress is the entire Republican Party for very interesting reasons worth looking at to see how politics Works particularly in the neoliberal age

Knight neoliberal Wall Street oriented they want to maintain the harsh new liberal programs the voting base is much more Progressive I mean they're called socialist what it means is mildly Social Democratic when you look at Sanders as programs in Europe you wouldn't even notice them it's cooling for Universal Health Care wow who could imagine that too radical for Americans but mild Social Democratic

uh Rush Limbaugh you know Wall Street Journal how are you going to vote well if the Democratic party were an actual political party not Wall Street Professional based they'd be down there organizing people telling them look fossil fuels are going to end period if they don't end it's all over James over so for your own benefit you're going to move to eliminating fossil fuels here's how you can do it there's a very

editorial I quoted from The Wall Street Journal the editors know as well as we do that we're going to fall that we're racing towards an abyss but the mentality is doesn't matter so our grandchildren will all die who cares we have to make money tomorrow in fact if I don't make money tomorrow somebody else will push me out I'll take the electric grid in Texas

the Wall Street Journal for thirty years he could hardly get more respectable than that and he says exactly what you just said he said the two reasons for the war one is George Bush's the administration's domestic political problems which accounts for the timing that's why it has to be now not say next year and the long one long term one is the fact that Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world the

and this morning's Wall Street Journal if you like though they put it a bit of bleakly but what they point out which is correct is that the current Bush administration which is very many of the same people who were in the Reagan administration I did exactly what they did 20 years ago they quickly drove the country into a big deficit by - number of factors but the ones under their control were a tax

fact the Wall Street Journal points out correctly that this was the biggest increase in federal government spendings in 20 years 20 years happens to be when they did it the first time and now they're doing it again and the purpose is quite clear pretty blind not to see it but you don't want people to be paying attention to that it's okay if readers of The Wall Street Journal do they're trustworthy but not the people

Wall Street Journal CNN world the and that continues I mean as the as when the US was bombing Afghanistan as it's the Northern Alliance was moving into Kabul and the Taliban fled the last thing that the US did before they their own forces took over was the bomb the Al Jazeera station in Kabul it was a missile attack on they claimed it is an accident you know they thought it was an arms

serious people like say the Wall Street Journal uh so a few days after the September 11 The Wall Street Journal to its credit began running serious stories uh in which they investigated opinions of people in the Islamic world who they are interested in what they called moneyed Muslims the ones with you know the rich ones the important ones uh so Bankers International lawyers directors of

1958 is the same as what the Wall Street Journal found in uh in 19 in 2001 one you know uh and for the same reasons because the policies haven't fundamentally changed so that's so we understand uh I mean the Wall Street Journal only was concerned with Elite opinion if they'd gone down to the slums of Cairo they would have gotten stronger opinions but of the same kind and more different ones also because in the slums

region uh the one through the Wall Street Journal was talking about are quite happy about that because they're part of the ruling Elite and they enrich themselves while the resources go to the West so they're part of the imperial system so you get different opinions if you bother to ask people in the so-called streets but fundamentally it's the same so there's a Campa so there so Bin Laden's messages certainly resonate and people agree with a lot of the

very very selective as I say Wall Street Journal is okay you know current history is okay uh the L University volume on age of Terror is okay it's critics who are not allowed to raise motivations because critics are not allowed to exist okay so therefore they're not allowed to do what other people do or in fact do anything they have to join the parade uh We've passed the point where you throw them into jail in the west but

interferences in the market, the Wall Street Journal explained.

economy" -- Harvard economist and Wall Street Journal contributing editor Robert Barro, pretending (it has to be a pretense) that he does not know that the Pentagon is, and has been explicitly designed to be, a massive form of government interference in the economy to ensure that high-tech industry feeds at the public trough. 11

touches, a front-page story in the Wall Street Journal reported "a welcome development of transcendent importance," no less: "the increasingly competitive cost of U.S. labor." Thanks to the harsh attack on labor through a combination of state power and improved opportunities to shift production abroad, US labor costs per unit output fell 1.5% in 1992, while costs increased in Japan and Europe, as well as Taiwan and South Korea. In 1985,

population "will pay dearly," the Wall Street Journal noted a few days after the Clinton economic strategy was announced. Germany's leading conglomerate paid a royal $100 for the plant site, and has been offered a package of tax breaks valued at over $300 million, along with other publicly-funded services. Alabama "has a Third World economy," the head of an economic development group observes: "They're losing money to invest in their

businesses in Mexico Banks and Wall Street Securities firms which would probably draw more benefit from The Pact than any other businesses say they're itching to buy Mexican businesses or in the invest in them some manufacturers would gain namely high-tech industry and pharmaceuticals both of which would benefit if they didn't mention this but I add would benefit from The increased protection and after this version of nafta's Highly protectionist which is

The Wall Street Journal noticed this and pointed out that Clinton is typical of Democrats in that his real commitments are to Big Business not to the entire business community in this respect the Democrats are somewhat different from the Republicans who are just the business party you know but the Democrats have a kind of more nuanced attitude toward the business community and this is one of the numerous respects

example The Wall Street Journal had a very enthusiastic article about a month ago describing what they called a welcome development of transcendent importance namely wages in the United States had sunk to below any industrial country except for England which had done even better in beating down the working class and the poor we hadn't yet made it to South Korea and Taiwan and Papua New

their luxurious lifestyles in the Wall Street Journal and the financial times and elsewhere we read about how workers and unions are going to have to understand that the era of affluence and easy life and secure jobs and so on is over that's the thing of the past notice that bosses and investors don't have to understand anything of the kind what they understand is that the era of Greater profits is coming because that's the consequence as International Society

The Wall Street Journal when it surveyed the attitudes of wealthy Muslims on September 14th right after a couple days after the World Trade Center bombing that means Banker they were interviewing in the Middle East bankers lawyers other professionals managers of multinationals some of whom describe Bin Laden as in their words the conscience of Islam even though they despise him and they fear Him they fear Him for good reasons they

The Wall Street Journal to its credit reported them accurately namely the U.S supports corrupt and repressive regimes that undermine democracy and development and then there are particular policies such as the support for the harsh and brutal Israeli military occupation now in its 35th year actions that devastate Iraqi civilian Society while strengthening Saddam Hussein and others nobody surveyed opinions in the slums

against us much as the Wall Street Journal and others found after September 11th when they surveyed the opinions of the wealthy and the privilege who are closely linked with Western power and support its basic objectives well it's easy to go on with this and it's not hard to understand but educated opinion here prefers a different story the one you've read over and over it prefers ruminations about how they resent us

so like in the Wall Street Journal they say you know the problem is if these things come up opponents of these agreements have what they call an Ultimate Weapon namely the general population so therefore we have to keep them from coming up and they don't come up in elections and they're not discussed and the population more or less knows that even if they don't know all the details about you know gats and

mentioned so the Wall Street Journal for example one of the more serious papers had a small story in page 12 I think in which they pointed out that there isn't much evidence and then they quoted some high U.S official was saying it doesn't even matter whether there's any evidence because we're going to do it anyway so why bother with the evidence the more ideological press like the New York Times and others they had big front page

Wall Street Journal which right away began to run within a couple of days serious report searching serious reports on the reasons why people of the region even if they hate Bin Laden and despise everything he's doing nevertheless support him in many ways and even regard him as the conscience of Islam as one said now the Wall Street Journal and others are they're not surveying public opinion they're surveying the opinion of

Wall Street Journal was running the survey on why they hate us so he says they hate us because we Champion A New World Order of capitalism individualism secularism and democracy that should be the norm everywhere that's why they hate us same day the Wall Street Journal is surveying the opinions of Bankers professionals International lawyers and saying look we hate you because you're blocking democracy you're preventing

uh the things I mentioned in the Wall Street Journal that's change and among the general public I think there's much more openness and willingness to think about things that were under the rug and so on these are opportunities and they should be used at least by people who accept the goal of trying to reduce the level of violence and Terror including potential threats that are extremely severe could make even September 11th uh pale into insignificance

and we're going to take the goldout of Wall Street and put it in the Treasury and we will in future determinethe value of the currency. We won't leave that to Wall Street. And his staff said: "You can't do it tonight or tomorrowbecause tomorrow is a holy day, Sunday. You'll have to wait to close the bankson Monday. And when he closed the banks, the story the economists tellis that he just closed the banks in order to save the banks. But he didn't!

Wall Street was slow to react. They did react ultimately, but, initially,they were just taken aback. So I'm trying what I'm trying to argue is that we have to take hopefrom the fact that we have in the pasttransformed the global economy. It is not impossible. We need political willand we need leadership. We need intellectual thought leadershipas well as political leadership. I want us to think about it. And, above all,and can I just end on this note?

Wall Street was nationalized. Wall street collapsed in March 2020and had to be bailed out by the Federal Reserve, right? And the same appliedto financial sectors everywhere. So, what the pandemic showed usis that the state - and this is the pointI really would like to make here - is that the state, what Noam's referred toas property rights, the power that we give toBill Gates to earn money effortlessly without any real innovationor technological advance, but simply because he has property rightsover something,

We were quite capable of nationalizingWall Street, but then we allowed them to take allof those gains from all of that quantitative easing and use it for - God knows what they're squanderingit on at the moment! - at the moment, what they're doing is trying to transformthose virtual assets wITH the finance they obtain via QEinto real assets, and so private equity firmsare going around the world grabbing up every assetthey can land their hands on. So, we learnt of the power of the State

to gain a public forum. In the Wall Street Journal, he wrote that "this administration has dealt in extremes," favoring "brute force" over other means. Bush "relentlessly maneuvered our nation into a war" that was unnecessary. He chose to turn the country into "the world's Hessians," a mercenary state paid by others while "our society reels from internal problems" that the administration refuses to address. 32

nationalized oil company," as the Wall Street Journal prefers to construe the matter. Our fondest wish for many years has been to help our little brown brothers, and at last the ignorant peons will allow us to cater to their needs. 47

Occupy movements which began in wall street off wall street have grown very fast spreading all over the country I think there's one coming up in London next week these are pretty important I mean you know the the goals are not very precisely formulated but things can emerge but it's a sign that the public are saying we're just not willing to continue to be victims of this and if you decide not to be victims you can do almost anything you can change the

formulated demands of the Occupy Wall Street you know the main one they have formulated their demands you can read them on the internet and they're quite interesting for example they begin by describing themselves as acting in the tradition of the uprisings in the 1930s us were ended the uprising the 1930s has led to the New Deal the civil rights movement and the Arab Spring it would be nice if that were true but it's not true in crucial ways which can be overcome in

the 1930s it wasn't Occupy Wall Street it was reconstitution of a labor movement that had been smashed in the 1920s beginnings of industrial were organizing and quite significant militant activities workers were beginning to sit down strikes sit-down strikes are terrifying to the owners a sit-down strike is just one step before recognizing ok we'll kick you out we don't need an owners and managers will

periodismo al del Financial Times o del Wall Street Journal?

como su ejemplo, o tal vez el Wall Street Journal informa sobre el hecho -- IBM no solo intenta desplazar sus operaciones productivas en donde pueda conseguir mano de obra barata, pero esta casi forzando a su personal domestico a ir a la India [Project Match]. Entonces ya no te queremos aqui, ve a vivir como una persona del Tercer Mundo en la India. Vamos a pagarte menos y vas a trabajar igual que antes. Asi que aqui hay una empresa

alrededor del 4 por ciento. El Wall Street Journal informo que "el senor Blanchard dice que el FMI deberia liderar el replanteamiento de ideas necesario despues de la peor recesion desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial." ?Que, si acaso, puede significar la aprobacion del FMI de una politica monetaria mas expansiva para los paises en vias desarrollo, que normalmente tienen que obedecer al FMI?, y ?puede ser esto una senal de un cambio

privileges of big corporations, Wall Street and the rich. Neoliberalism became dominant globally around 1980, beginning with the elections of Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom and Ronald Reagan in the U.S. The top priorities under neoliberalism, as practiced throughout the world, have included: cutting both taxes on the rich along with public spending on the non-rich; weakening protections for both working people and the environment

provided for big corporations and Wall Street.

However, over this same period, Wall Street stock prices rose by 46 percent, one of the sharpest one-year increases on record. The same pattern prevailed globally. The International Labour Organization reported that, "There were unprecedented global employment losses in 2020 of 114 million jobs relative to 2019." At the same time, global stock markets rose sharply -- by 45 percent throughout Europe, 56 percent in China, 58 percent

situation the parties of Wall Street both of them say nothing to the millions of disposable people who will never be able to find meaningful employment in this dispensation a society dominated by finance capital suffers from acute joblessness money is made through mathematical manipulation not through trade in goods and services between real living people all of whom have irritating things like desires and wants

and Wall Street base building organizations across the country are alive to the possibility of a more systematic assertion in the political domain what fails us consistently is a much shriveled historical imagination we fear the lunatics and run for shelter inconsistent with our own self-awareness that their roof is rickety the tasks of an expanded political imagination are already available there are the little

the Wall Street Journal ran a story where deep in the story they said none of the agencies that count that matter to them believe that Iran has a nuclear weapons policy and yet the political establishment has built this so-called case that Iran must be stopped and you saw the roadrunner standing there with his little sign at the UN saying that the redline cannot be crossed nonsense like that they are not serious people

Wall Street Journal the companies imposed strict rules that sharply limit speech and conduct workers are allowed back are not allowed to make references to the strike they're not allowed to use words like scab or make critical comments on management the gag rule the company says is designed to ensure a business-like environment in the workplace point is that workers are supposed to

Wall Street Journal in a recent article that's seeking good news namely slow economic growth low inflation and budget balancing that's good news slow economic growth meaning making sure that most people suffer and that's there's reasons for that if there's slow economic growth currencies are stable and you know you make more money if you're a Speculator and so on so you've got this enormous flow of capital by far the massive most

good news that Robert Lucas and the Wall Street Journal are talking about well that's possible anywhere but of course it requires questioning the absolute rule of the private tyrannies and we're taught from infancy that we're not allowed to question that tyranny is freedom is what we're caught so if all power is in the hands of unaccountable totalitarian institutions that's Pure Freedom they'll explain it to you at the Cato Institute if you don't get the

say, the Financial Times or the Wall Street Journal?

discuss the fact, or maybe the Wall Street Journal reports the fact, that IBM is not only offshoring where it can to cheaper labor, but is pretty much compelling its domestic workforce to move to India [Project Match]. So we don't want you here, go live like a third-world person in India. We'll pay you less and you do the same thing. So here's a company that was substantially built by the American taxpayer, became super-rich, and

inflation, of around 4 percent. The Wall Street Journal reported that, "Mr. Blanchard says the IMF should lead the rethinking necessary after the worst recession since World War II." What, if anything, can IMF approval of a more expansionary monetary policy mean for the developing world, which often has to obey the IMF, and can this signal a real shift within the IMF? Or is it just temporary maneuvering?

pro-American wealthy sectors. The Wall Street Journal has been doing a particularly good job in surveying those opinions beginning September 14. When they condemn the United States for its anti-democratic stands for supporting brutal regimes and corrupt regimes, they are saying what people in the streets think and there's a reason for it. The same is true when they condemn U.S. policies towards Iraq and Israel.

that was almost quoted from the Wall Street Journal, for example. So there's been a little bit of opening to this. It has a long way to go, but if we want to understand what is happening and undertake realistic programs that will protect ourselves as well as others, we just have to begin to pay attention to these things.

wealthy Muslims reported in the Wall Street Journal. They're also deeply angry about what the United States is doing to the civilian society of Iraq while strengthening Sadam Hussein. They are well aware, and constantly say, even if we prefer to forget it, that the United States supported Sadam Hussein, right through his worst atrocities, including the gassing of the Kurds. They know that and constantly say it. They are strongly

think of the pub Wall Street work plan into the American presidential election or with it over when it happen in some kind of split screens on alternative reality the reality is that it can't materially affecting presidential elections I mean to run for president in the United States as things now stand you have to have a couple of billion dollars in your pocket on the occupy movement it's not going to have that

Wall Street where do you see going whether you think it was gone it's not as prominent so me as it as it was what do you think's happen to it and where do you think it can gather only qualified by saying that they're my own record of prediction doesn't give me confidence in the answer litigator and that goes way back you just have to see that seems quieted down over the winter and you couldn't continue their occupies okati

in milk I Wall Street either but it's for some engagement with them and so it has a benefit of being real you know it's about actual people in the houses and so on but it also has the problem of being very small and whether we will rise to a sufficient level and time as is your domain it is difficult to do trick will be to get to the poor economic issues and everything circles around them but they're forging of

some of the press particularly the Wall Street Journal did do what they should have done they began investigating opinion in the in the region to find out why people they were trying to find out the answer to George Bush's plaintiff question why do they hate us when we're so good you know happen that so within actually before even before he asked the question the Wall Street Journal had provided some of the answers they did do what they should have done they did a

it essentially the same is what the Wall Street Journal discovered on September 14th and anybody new in between the only difference is that of course some of the specific policies like the sanctions against you new and so on but the general policies are the same and they are talking about the people not just money Muslims and among the people there's a much deeper resentment because they don't see any particular reason why the wealth of the

described honestly so like the Wall Street Journal describes what would have presented publicly as free trade agreements they call them free investment agreements and that's correct that kind of globalization you expect to reduce globalization and the technical sense but to increase it in the doctrinally preferred sense with much slower growth which has been a characteristic of the past 25 years anyway it's going to slow even more

programs were a giveaway to Wall Street executives and a blow in the solar plexus to their defenseless victims and very likely a stepping stone towards the next and probably worse financial crisis as business lobbying chips away systematically at the dodd-frank regulation bill well these crises have been a regular occurrence since the Reagan years though there weren't any before before that the New Deal

charge of monitoring Wall Street he captured the general mood among the a lead of the profession economics profession when he held Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan who at the time was revered as st. Alan on the eve of the worst crash since the Great Depression that Timothy Geithner so it is who went on to become was appointed Obama's chief economic manager he told Greenspan I'd like the record to show that I think

Wall Street but the foreign policy establishment okay how do we occupy the foreign policy establishment same way you bring about other changes it's very free country by comparative standards it remains a very free country but you got a lot of opportunity they range from demonstrations to electoral politics to resistance to organizing the organizing public pressure way to do it in fact you don't to go very far the educational

headline in the New York in the wall street journal on the new Clinton administration decision to extend a Reagan agreement to bar Japanese supercomputers from the US market the Reagan administration simply barred supercomputers from the US market because they were too good and were better than us made ones and the Reagan administration of the Clinton administration just extended that with a new bar against the Japanese

would Lisa the Wall Street Journal said straight out this is in order to protect prey research primarily which can't compete with the Japanese there are lots of other barriers the the virtually sold purchaser of supercomputers has been government institutions like the Pentagon and the BOE and so on and for them Japanese supercomputers are totally hard okay so there ain't allowed to compete for that that's America first

outfit in the Wall Street Journal he was around april nineteen ninety-one you know after the war was over I think that was the first break and the State Department was saying straight out when asked we will not have contact with Iraqi Democrats because that would be interfering in the internal affairs of Iraq you know we don't do things like that i mean seemed and so whatever is going on it's none of these things so

you take a look at the Wall Street Journal after that they were screaming powerful groups had it in for Richard Nixon and they were waiting for a chance to do an in to like this then when he made his one serious error namely he called powerful people bad names in private they had their opportunity and they went after him and he was kicked out in my view a bum rap I should say the one favorable mention

paper so in June the Wall Street Journal and the uh The Washington Post never the New York Times had critical comments on the white paper tearing at the shreds because F of why is the way the te always thought uh and uh but that was after the public reaction which had itself forced the administration to back down and had gotten the administration to tell the media to call off the campaign in fact publicly they started

Arthur linger in the Wall Street Journal for example arth linger was you know a political hack for the Kennedy administration his job was to ify Camelot he was one of the scholars and that's what he did so he gives a rather nuanced critique of the film he says well yeah I mean there's a case to be made that Kennedy was going to do all these magnificent things but he kind of goes overboard you know it wasn't that

mattered and the mood and on Wall Street was captured by to Bank of New York employees who predicted that their lives and pay would improve even if the broader economy did not that's paraphrasing Adam Smith's observation that the architects of policy protect their own interests how no matter how Grievous the effect on others and they are the architects of policy Obama made sure to staff is economic advisors from

pocket of Wall Street as he put it throughout the crisis the government has taken extreme care not to upset the interests of the financial institutions or to question the basic outlines of the system that got us here and the elite business interests who played a central role in creating the crisis with the implicit backing of the government they're still there and they're now using their influence

the wall street journal at an article reporting that the US Transportation chief is in Spain is meeting with high-speed rail suppliers the Europe's engineering and rail companies are lining up for some potentially lucrative us contracts for high-speed rail projects at stake is 13 billion dollars in stimulus funds that the Obama administration is allocating to upgrade existing rail lines and build new ones

the wall street journal when it surveyed the attitudes of wealthy Muslims on September 14th right after a couple days after the World Trade Center bombing that means banker they were interviewing in the Middle East bankers and lawyers other professionals managers of multinationals some of whom described bin Laden as in their words the conscience of Islam even though they despise him and they fear him they fear

state their reasons the Wall Street Journal to its credit reported them accurately namely the u.s. supports corrupt and repressive regimes that undermine democracy and development and then there are particular policies such as the support for the harsh and brutal Israeli military occupation now in its 35th year actions that devastate a rocky civilian society while strengthening Saddam Hussein others nobody surveyed

much as the Wall Street Journal and others found after September 11th when they surveyed the opinions of the wealthy and the privileged who are closely linked with Western power and support its basic objectives well it's easy to go on with this and it's not hard to understand but educated opinion here prefers a different story the one you've read over and over it prefers ruminations about how they

Muslims as they were called by the Wall Street Journal when it surveyed the attitudes of wealthy Muslims on September 14th right after a couple days after the World Trade Center bombing that means Banker they were interviewing in the Middle East bankers lawyers other professionals managers of multinationals some of whom described Bin Laden as in their words the conscience of Islam even though they despise him and they fear Him they fear Him for good reasons they

Wall Street Journal to its credit reported them accurately namely the U.S supports corrupt and repressive regimes that undermine democracy and development and then there are particular policies such as the support for the harsh and brutal Israeli military occupation now in its 35th year actions that devastate Iraqi civilian Society while strengthening Saddam Hussein and others nobody surveyed opinions in the slums

against us much as the Wall Street Journal and others found after September 11th when they surveyed the opinions of the wealthy and the privileged who are close linked with Western power and support its basic objectives well it's easy to go on with this and it's not hard to understand but educated opinion here prefers a different story the one you've read over and over it prefers ruminations about how they resent us

from The Wall Street Journal the companies imposed strict rules that sharply limit speech and conduct workers are allowed back are not allowed to make references to the strike they're not allowed to use words like scab or make critical comments on management the gag rule the company says is designed to ensure a businesslike environment in the workplace point is that workers are supposed to understand where they are

called good news in the Wall Street Journal and a recent article that's seeking good news namely slow economic growth low inflation and budget balancing that's good news slow economic growth meaning making sure that most people suffer and that's on there's reasons for that if there's slow economic growth currencies are stable and you know you make more money if you're a speculator

good news that Robert Lucas and the Wall Street Journal are talking about well that's possible anywhere but of course it requires questioning the absolute rule of the private tyrannies and we're taught from infancy that we're not allowed to question that tyranny is freedom is what we're caught so if all power is in the hands of unaccountable totalitarian institutions that's pure freedom they'll explain it to you at the Cato Institute if you

and The Wall Street Journal have no word on them there's no shortage of information Associated Press had stories - they weren't run and the BBC World Service has had extensive coverage and if you look around the peripheral press particularly in Florida there was coverage Florida I presume them because of the Latin American connection but the National Press blanked it out no these aren't sunny that these aren't minor

good article on it in a Wall Street Journal by their veteran Asia correspondent about a year and a half ago unfortunately it's the Asian edition of The Wall Street Journal they didn't have it in the US edition but it's quite a good article he gives an estimate of there's honey unknown numbers of unexploded bomblets just littering the Plain of Jars hundreds of millions of them were

the estimated according to The Wall Street Journal report the casualties may range up to thousand a year of which more than half our deaths other numbers or less but some since nobody's counting you know nobody really knows but numbers of that kind are considered not unreasonable by the Wall Street Journal in its Asia edition the there is a mine clearing group british-based mine advisory group civilian but you

magazine of wall street in this case and but it's typical and it's all across the board in the business press and so the story continues just about everywhere take say computers like sort of core element of a modern industrial society in the 1950s they were kind of big clunky things with the vacuum tubes always blowing up and too much paper

know you read the wall street journal on the back pages of the new york times you'll learn about it so for example last november japan announced a new government program of up to about a billion dollars to aid japanese companies to regain uh the ground that they lost when the reaganite programs of massive state intervention mostly disguised as military spending

say from the new york times and the wall street journal through the new yorker to the progressive if that's your picture of the world you're not going to plug into it because you're not going to understand what's happening so the first thing to do is to break out of the doctrinal controls which are very strong i mean i didn't quote a lot but it's a fair sample

The Wall Street Journal back pages which had the story by then there were a couple of stories appearing in places like Akron Ohio or you know Las Vegas just scattered around the country places where editors were not sophisticated enough to understand that although this is the lead story from AP this is when you suppress you know because it's too inconsistent with the main story that you're supposed to tell about

Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal and everybody else and started smashing the story and you know they found the comma missing here and somebody from the government denied something else and the this is the way it's done so and there was obvious about plenty of internal of pressure on the journal itself finally they pub the journal the editors publicly withdrew this kind of apologized for having

of a few Wall Street bankers and financiers and that was the good old days there was no crisis democracy then but you were getting this crisis of governability in the 60s with lots of people trying to go where they don't belong into the public arena and then the question is what do we do about this you know got to suppress it and one of a part of it had to dedicate so they said that the the educational institutions

relatively small number of Wall Street lawyers and bankers then there was no crisis of democracy that's the way things were supposed to be and sorry this kind of vulgar Marxist rhetoric is not untypical of internal documents in the government or in the business press and so on and this was intended to be an internal document they didn't really expect people to read it but it's worth reading

few Wall Street lawyers and bankers any longer you had all these other pressures coming from the general population and that's a problem and we got to overcome the problem and the way to overcome the problem they said all three the whole group is to introduce more moderation and democracy to mitigate the excess of democracy that means in short to return the general population to

about 1969 or 1970 after Wall Street had turned against the war then you got a preponderance of dubs saying probably aren't going to succeed in defending freedom and democracy in South Vietnam the country that we're attacking well that's this this this conception of the media which noticed challenges the factual assumptions of the entire debate that says that the media function in the way that Herman and I called the

relatively small number of Wall Street lawyers and bankers then there was no crisis democracy that's the way things were supposed to be and so this kind of vulgar Marxist rhetoric is not untypical of internal documents in the government or in the business press and so on and this was intended to be an internal document they didn't really expect people to read it but it's worth reading I'm sure the library has it they should

with a few Wall Street lawyers and bankers any longer you had all these other pressures coming from the general population and that's a problem and we got to overcome the problem and the way to overcome the problem they said all three the whole group is to introduce more moderation and democracy to mitigate the excess of democracy that means in short to return the general population

1970 after Wall Street had turned against the war then you got a preponderance of doves saying probably aren't going to succeed in defending freedom and democracy in South Vietnam the country that we're attacking well that's this this this conception of the media which noticed challenges the factual assumptions of the entire debate that says that the media function in the way that Herman and I called the

small number of Wall Street lawyers and bank but nevertheless the vulgar Marxist terminology which is rather typical in right-wing circles conceals a kernel of truth a Huntington incidentally made this point about how the government had been run with the cooperation of a relatively small number of Wall Street lawyers and bankers during period when he thought that this properly

Wall Street Journal describe how it's being done here's one of my favorites there's from the press a us there was a US and Air Force intelligence conference on Soviet affairs in Washington a few weeks ago and commenting on the conference in the Christian Science Monitor a strategic analyst William Kennedy who's a professor at the US Army War College he warned of a terrible discovery that was made at that

for example in the magazine of Wall Street but it is obvious that foreign economies as well as our own are now mainly dependent on the scope of continued armed spending in the country and military spending in fact is what got the world going again after the Second World War and the destruction of the Second World War well that was the domestic scene what about the international scene first part of post-war history was that it was

say the Wall Street Journal so a few days after the September 11th the Wall Street Journal to it began running serious stories in which they investigated opinions of the people in the Islamic world who they're interested in what they called money Muslims the ones with the rich ones important ones so bankers international lawyers directors of multinational corporations people who are right inside the US

the same as what the Wall Street Journal found and in nineteen in 2001 you know and for the same reasons because the policies haven't fundamentally changed so that's so we understand I mean the Wall Street Journal only was concerned with a lead opinion if they'd gone down to the slums of Cairo there was gotten stronger opinions but of the same kind and more different ones also because in the slums of Cairo they wouldn't like

Wall Street Journal was talking about are quite happy about that because they are part of the ruling elite and they enrich themselves while the resources go to the west so they're part of the Imperial system so you get different opinions if you bother to ask people in the so-called streets but fundamentally it's the same so there's a camp so there are so bin Laden's messages certainly resonate and people agree with a lot of

The Wall Street Journal Friday had a lead story which was about the congressional actions on on the medical system on Medicare here I'll discuss through the headlines of it a series of headlines and they could comment on each first headline says unequal treatment which is accurate second headline says Medicare bill passed by house would end a gala terian approach half accurate for reasons of logic you can't end something

human rights so the answer to the wall street journal' question is duel at the level of practice no health care is not a basic right and it's getting worse and worse at the level of rhetoric and indeed even oh sure it's a universal unit right and we are committed to it committed and in fact full of self praise for our commitment and our defense of the universality against all comers but putting all this together the basic

was the Wall Street Journal let's move over to the other major national newspaper The New York Times headline and its lead story was public hospitals facing deep cuts with which are going to affect primarily teaching programs and services to the poor which if they're targeted for elimination are very sharp reduction in the poorest and most underserved neighborhoods that navee talking about New York City the richest

magazine of Wall Street in this case and but it's typical and it's all across the board and business press and so the story continues just about everywhere takes a computers like set of core element of a modern industrial society in the 1950s they were kind of big clunky things with the vacuum tubes always blowing up and too much paper around and that sort of business you couldn't sell them in other words so the

read The Wall Street Journal in the back pages of the New York Times you'll learn about it so for example last November Japan announced a new government program of up to about a billion dollars to aid Japanese companies to regain the ground that they lost when the Reaganite programs of massive state intervention mostly disguised as military spending save us companies in semiconductors and gave them a big step ahead in chip

New York Times in the Wall Street Journal through the New Yorker to the progressive if that's your picture of the world you're not going to plug into it because you're not going to understand what's happening so the first thing to do is to break out of the doctrinal controls which are very strong I mean I didn't quote a lot but it's a fair sample lip self-liberation is the beginning that's very hard to do alone

flowing out and the Wall Street Journal pointed out you're getting a veto you know from the they can call it that but whoops amounts to the virtual Senate uh and they had to back off I mean maybe they could have withstood it maybe not but the point is even the rich countries are subordinated to this form of decision making in the hands of a very narrow group of uh uh lenders in this case uh same thing is

for Wall Street and so on that's what the idol chatter is discussing when they talk about independent economic planning they mean they want to be able to carry out social and economic planning independent of the constituency of investors and lenders and of course that's exactly what's taken away from them by what we call globalization uh the

congressional offices and stuff The Wall Street Journal had an interesting comment on this they said look Fast Track is what they call a no-brainer it's so obviously good you know just Ram it through but they said the trouble is upon it's a fast track have what they call an Ultimate Weapon the populations against it and unless we can keep it secret and around it through in secret you know the Ultimate Weapon will be on sheast well that's no reason for despair

few Wall Street lawyers and financiers sorry for the in those days few Wall Street lawyers and bankers or something like that could run the country but in the 60s this was all getting out of control I mean always rabble this is getting around this mass of people who aren't supposed to be doing anything they're just supposed to be following orders now we have to restore indoctrination and passivity and apathy

fascinates me The Wall Street Journal for example has a has a racist diatribe on the editorial page almost every day and it's amazing to me that nobody seems to notice this please comment on it well there are groups that are including in Boston that are targeted that are concerned is what they call the radical right but unfortunately what you're describing is the racist Center you know and that's you know to target that is to

you know like the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times and so on and so forth the radical right is you know the there are efforts to monitor them but I agree with you I think that's not the main problem it's not the radical right it's things like The Wall Street Journal which are not very far away you know it's most of the media that most of us live in which is imbued with racism and it's very deep hmm I mean

Mexico banks and Wall Street securities firms which would probably draw a more benefit from the pack than any other businesses say they're itching to buy mexican businesses or invest in them some manufacturers would gain namely high-tech industry and pharmaceuticals both of which would benefit they didn't mention this but I add would benefit from the increased protection and after this version of math is highly

to be the gainers incidentally The Wall Street Journal noticed this and pointed out that Clinton is typical of Democrats in that his real commitments are at the big business not to the entire business community in this respect the Democrats are somewhat different from the Republicans who are just the business party you know but the Democrats have a kind of more nuanced attitude toward the business community and this is one of

for example The Wall Street Journal had a very enthusiastic article about a month ago describing what they call a welcome development of transcendent importance namely wages in the United States had sunk to below any industrial country except for England which had done even better and beating down the working class in the poor we hadn't yet made it to South Korea and Taiwan and Papua New

press particularly The Wall Street Journal did do what they should have done they began investigating opinion in the in the region to find out why people they were trying to find out the answer to George bushes plaintiff question why do they hate us when we're so good you know alright so within actually before even before I asked the question the Wall Street Journal had provided some of the

essentially the same is what the Wall Street Journal discovered on September 14th and anybody knew in between the only difference is that of course some of the specific policies like the sanctions against Iraq or knew and so on but the general policies are the same and they're talking about the people not just what money Muslims and among the people there's a much deeper resentment because they don't see any particular reason why the

you can read the wall street journal editorial today for example saying exactly what you said we're rushing it we want to make sure that we maximize the use of fossil fuels we'll we'll have more tomorrow and our grandchildren will have nothing okay those are the choices there's no lefties it's virtually all scientists of any

affluent professionals wall street bankers the guys in the clinton management people who show up at obama's fancy parties and so on almost nothing for the working class in fact you could see it in the way the tarp legislation was implemented the working population had basically has no representative well now that's changed it changed with

just like the wall street journal editorial said today in order to make more profit tomorrow for the very rich that's their commitment now it's possible to compromise so back in the 50s and 60s there was plenty of compromise this was the period of regimented capitalism now i don't approve of that i think there's a deeper program when

of the popular opposition. The Wall Street Journal, for example, ruefully observed that opponents of the mislabeled free trade agreements have an "ultimate weapon": the general population, which must therefore be kept in the dark. For the same reasons, the issues do not arise in the political arena. But of the parts of the global public that have become informed through popular organizations, labor unions, peasant organizations,

near-unanimous elite support, but as the Wall Street Journal lamented, opponents have an "ultimate weapon": the public remains opposed. Therefore they have to be conducted largely in secret, and the issues do not arise in elections. Anyone who has examined declassified government documents carefully knows that a great deal of what is kept secret, the great majority of it in fact, has nothing to do with national security. The goal is not to

New York Times The Wall Street Journal the Washington Post op-ed pages they've been on television public television NPR and they have a record of false statements they have record of deception they have record of pursuing policies that are illegal under our Constitution under international law and under federal statutes such as the criminal invasion of Iraq and other adventures around the world now a society that

press Wall Street Journal of the falsehoods and the white papers that they produced and they backed off what happened again what happened and sent they were trying to launch a major war in Central America well what actually happened was awful enough but it wasn't as bad as what happened in Indochina in the 1960s and it could have been let's go on to the Iraq war a lot of people claim believe I think falsely that the

lawlessness whether it's Wall Street whether it's Wells Fargo more recently whether it's military and foreign practices you can make a list of measures that are illegal under federal law state law under our Constitution we don't declare war from Congress anymore the president decides who he wants to destroy as the saying goes as prosecutor judge jury and executioner abroad you've talked to Harvard Law School students

an extent. So, for example, The Wall Street Journal , to its credit, immediately after September 11th, began raising questions about what are actually the attitudes of people in the part of the world to which this terrorist act was traced. Everyone assumed it, rightly, to be somehow connected to networks like the al Qaeda and others who were organized by the CIA and the British for their own purposes. In fact, the people who are

would not just ask the way The Wall Street Journal did: what are the opinions [of] what they called "moneyed Muslims"? Rich, rich guys -- bankers, professionals, partners in US multinationals -- people who were right inside the US system. I mean, it's interesting to know what they think, too, but that's not everything. And it's to their credit that they even looked that far.

know, that's exactly what The Wall Street Journal is finding after September 11th. It wouldn't take much research to discover this. Do a little more research you'd find out quite a lot, that this is very consistent. But at least these questions are finally coming to the open. I mean, I haven't seen anyone point out the obvious like what I just said, which is indeed obvious. This ought to be, like, [in] headlines -- so far I haven't

choice but to agree, since, as the Wall Street Journal noted, without this "signal of U.S. confidence in the stability of the country" there would be no bank loans, which were desperately needed. Nicaragua's request for U.S. military aid and training was rejected, and efforts to obtain such aid from the West were blocked by U.S. pressure, compelling reliance on East bloc aid as the external threat mounted. 17

point was made obliquely by the Wall Street Journal, in its triumphal editorial on the elections. "In time," the editors wrote, "Daniel Ortega may discover the moderating influences of democratic elections, as did Jamaica's Michael Manley, himself formerly a committed Marxist." 49 Translating from Newspeak, the U.S. may have to try the Jamaica model, first working to undermine and destroy a popular movement, then lavishly supporting

one of the biggest recipients of Wall Street campaign contributions, the Center for Responsive Politics reports. He "was the top House recipient in the 2008 election cycle of contributions from hedge funds, private equity firms and the larger securities/investment industry." Since being elected to Congress in 2002, he "has received more money from individuals and PACs in the securities and investment business than any other industry";

interview with an editor of the Wall Street Journal, Emanuel was asked what the Obama administration would do about "the Democratic congressional leadership, which is brimming with left-wing barons who have their own agenda," such as slashing defense spending (in accord with the will of the majority of the population) and "angling for steep energy taxes to combat global warming," not to speak of the outright lunatics in Congress

The violations also contribute to undermining benefits guaranteed by the UD, including health and safety standards in the workplace, which the government chooses not to enforce, leading to a sharp rise in industrial accidents. Elimination of unions also helps to weaken democracy,

"Most Agree, Nigeria Sanctions Won't Fly," the headline reads: "Unlike in South Africa, Embargo Could Hurt West." In brief, the commitment to human rights is instrumental. Where some interest is served, they are important, even grand ideals; otherwise the pragmatic criterion prevails. That too should come as no surprise.

"Businesses Cash In," the Wall Street Journal reports, including the construction industry, law firms, the booming private prison complex, and "the loftiest names in finance" such as Goldman Sachs, Prudential, and others, "competing to underwrite prison construction with private, tax-exempt bonds." Also standing in line is the "defense establishment,... scenting a new line of business" in high-tech surveillance and control

Occupy Wall Street movement took root not only that years before and in fact most of that as quotes I don't say a quotation marks about it most of its quotes from the business literature and leading progressive intellectuals a number of those quotes are from walter Lippmann who didn't use exactly this sometimes exactly those work that spectators for example spectators not participants have to be kept in line we

Wall Street movement should be involved in electoral politics or or you know as acts from below without engaging in the system I as they stand they're not an electoral force they can I mean first of all they I don't think they can take a unified position they have no mechanism for making a unified decision which i think is a good thing it's better to have a variety of opinions and attitudes and

rights activists and Occupy Wall Street activists there was a demonstration in Washington which is kind of a first step if that goes on that brings together segments of the population it's got to work into the labor force somehow that's very significant I hard to think of a popular movement that got anywhere if it didn't have an active labor participant and maybe not the Labour leadership but at least rank-and-file participation

He was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal. They asked him how the Obama administration is going to deal with what they call the "left-wing barons," people like Barney Frank and John Dingell and others who have all kinds of crazy ideas like cutting down the military budget or higher taxes for alternative energy and so on. And Emmanuel said Obama will be able to stand up to them, so we're not going to have any of that extremism.

And the Wall Street Journal had an article about the same time in which they also -- surprise -- this wonderful grassroots army he mobilized and they said the army's now waiting for instructions as to what to do next. Like, should they go around ringing doorbells for this piece of legislation or for that piece. And if it's a democratic country, you'd laugh -- what would happen is that the policies would come

bother their heads with issues. The Wall Street Journal came close to the point in a major front-page article on super-Tuesday, under the heading "Issues Recede in '08 Contest As Voters Focus on Character." To put it more accurately, issues recede as candidates, party managers, and their PR agencies focus on character (qualities, etc.). As usual. And for sound reasons. Apart from the irrelevance of the population, they can be dangerous.

Gerald Seib's reflections in the Wall Street Journal on "Time to Look Ahead in Iraq." Seib is impressed that debate over Iraq is finally beginning to go beyond the "cartoon-like characteristics" of what has come before and is now beginning to confront "the right issue," the "more profound questions":

It's just nice talk." So the next thing you do is vote for your class enemy, Trump, who's doing everything he can to shaft them but manages to keep some kind of a base by, you know, bringing up the "rapists" and the "murderers" or whatever will be next.

the Wall Street Journal corpus let's say okay from the point of view of a scientist that tells you is zero you look at those five percent that it can't deal with they're mostly the critical experiments if you bring up other questions like how do you handle power sit at gaps the answer is well who cares they never occur anyway you know which is true they don't but but just as in physics those are the things that tell

help us out of this dilemma. The Wall Street Journal observes that Iraq's "clumsy attempt to hide nuclear-bomb-making equipment from the U.N. may be a blessing in disguise, U.S. officials say. It assures that the allies [read: U.S. and U.K.] can keep economic sanctions in place to squeeze Saddam Hussein without mounting calls to end the penalties for humanitarian reasons." 12 With luck, then, this huge exercise in state terrorism

after the hostilities ended, the Wall Street Journal, to its credit, broke ranks and offered space to a spokesman for the Iraqi democratic opposition, London-based banker Ahmad Chalabi. He described the outcome as "the worst of all possible worlds" for the Iraqi people, whose tragedy is "awesome." 15 From the perspective of Iraqi democrats, remote from that of Washington and New York, restoration of the "iron fist" would not be "the

When we engage as far as we can the limits of electoralism, we also reengage our capacities outside our electoral system, whether it's withholding labor or other sorts of grassroots actions, because there is also a point of collective action that

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal the CDC is redressing a self-confessed public relations excess geared towards keeping the heterosexual population anxious and therefore vigilant about HIV/AIDS. The cumulative total for "HIV positivity" in the US was revised downwards in 1995 from some 1,000,000 cases to between 500,000 and 700,000. Do you believe in consistent full open accountability of government agencies?

called "Slavery by another name" by Wall Street Journal editor Douglas Blackmon. His work fills out the bare bones with shocking detail, showing how after Reconstruction African-American life was effectively criminalized, so that black males virtually became a permanent slave labor force. Conditions, however, were far worse than under slavery, for good capitalist reasons. Slaves were property, a capital investment, and were therefore

Even the Wall Street Journal, one of the most stalwart deniers, has recently published a supplement with dire warnings about "climate disaster," urging that none of the options being considered may be sufficient and that it may be necessary to undertake more radical measures of geoengineering, "cooling the planet" in some manner.

democracy so extreme that even The Wall Street Journal commented, correctly, that no matter who's elected in a European country--Communists, right-wing, whatever it may be--policies are the same because policies are made by the Brussels bureaucrats and the Bundesbank. Doesn't matter what the public wants.

Take a look at this morning's Wall Street Journal; [the] lead article, the top article, is about how the energy corporations in the U.S. are--there's an oil glut at the moment--and they're preparing right now that if this [oil glut] declines, they'll immediately put into motion enterprises they've already established which will greatly increase the flow of oil. In other words, drive us farther toward the precipice. We're racing

comment, with one exception. The Wall Street Journal acknowledged its existence in an editorial entitled "Cambodia Good Guys" (November 22, 1976), which dismissed contemptuously the very idea that the Khmer Rouge could play a constructive role, as well as the notion that the United States had a major hand in the destruction, death and turmoil of wartime and postwar Cambodia. In another editorial on the "Cambodian Horror" (April 16,

Among other examples, it was responsible for the exclusive filming of the destruction of Buddhist statues that rightly infuriated the world.

These are translated and rebroadcast by BBC,

highly important news is in the Wall Street Journal (October 5), which also describes the reaction of intellectuals and scholars throughout the Arab world ("truly appalling," etc.). The report adds, as the Journal has done before, that "many Arab analysts argued that it is, after all, Washington's perceived disregard for human rights in officially pro-American countries such as Saudi Arabia that fuels the rampant anti-Americanism."

the wall street journal major business journal just had a major editorial in which they said the united states navy should break the blockade okay what happens when the u.s navy starts confronting russian ships did the russians say oh that was pleasant why don't you sink our fleet not very likely

and the business community the wall street journal apparently can't fortunately the pentagon can so it blocks these efforts they're the peacekeeping force in the united states at this point literally uh take another proposal is sin sophisticated advanced anti-ship weapons to sink the russian fleet they already managed to sink the

the wall street journal they tell the reporters what to do they have editors they control what gets published but they have to keep the lights on and they have to pay so they're subject to the market competition and as a result i don't think they can print stories that are essentially lukewarm a lot of organizations now news

described about the wall street journal has been true of journals from their inception before the internet you had to pay to subscribe to a journal now actually the subscriptions to a journal don't pay for it what pays for the journal is the advertising advertising and i want to get to that next that's in your book as well it goes back

occasion of Kosovo's independence the Wall Street Journal wrote that Serbian police and troops were "driven from the province by the U.S.-led aerial bombing campaign of [1999], designed to halt dictator Slobodan Milosevi?'s brutal attempt to drive out the province's ethnic Albanian majority" (February 25, 2008).

excitement. Take a look at the Wall Street Journal: its front page story on Super Tuesday, with a big headline, reads: "Issues recede in '08 Contest as Voters Focus on Character." Shortly after, a poll appeared, which I did not see reported, finding that three-fourths of the public want coverage of candidates' positions on issues. Exactly the opposite of the standard doctrine, expressed in the headline. That's not new. The same

change. In the campaign, as the Wall Street Journal correctly notes, issues have received little attention. Personal characteristics are the key element. It's character that's up front.

in 20 years quoting The Wall Street Journal but it's a fact biggest increase in federal spending in 20 years goes to the rich huge tax cut for the rich well that causes a problem just as it did in the Reagan years got a deficit you have to have what's called fiscal responsibility long Leumi faces from the economic czars about fiscal responsibility fiscal responsibility means you got to cut services for the

by the wall street journal which tells you exactly what was going on well it was highly unpopular as you can imagine there's a lot of Mythology about Reagan's popularity it's simply untrue in fact at the end when 1992 he was ranked as the most unpopular living ex-president right next to Richard Nixon well below Carter and Fort well you know how'd they stay in power pressing the panic button every year just what

interview, Mario Draghi informed The Wall Street Journal that "the Continent's traditional social contract" - perhaps its major contribution to contemporary civilization - "is obsolete" and must be dismantled. And he is one of the international bureaucrats who is doing most to protect its remnants. Business has always disliked the social contract. Recall the euphoria in the business press when the fall of "Communism" offered a new work

the plan became a "giveaway to Wall Street executives" - to the surprise of no one who understands "really existing capitalism."

this corporate state wall street merging with big government turning against the people and its impact on the world now we have the metaverse and we have just runaway corporate power strategically planning almost everything in our political economy including commercializing childhood how would you deal with the structure which starts with the chartering of corporations by states and the board of directors

professional elites on wall street that's the clinton obama democratic party the abandonment of the working class actually started in the late quarter years carter was quite anti-working class the last gasp of working-class commitments in the democratic party was the humphrey hawkins bill of 1978 calling for a full employment bill

right-wing congress uh so does the wall street journal they all think the populations are on our side and there's proof of it actually my latest an article and covered action quarterly where i ended up giving some evidence about this uh the evidence that i cited was the pro there's a program in congress called defunding the left okay and you know the wall street journal has

now in fact the wall street journal had another article saying that 16 of the elderly are severely malnutritioned than many are literally starving but aarp is trying to work out some kind of program for them to get some work so that's another left-wing organization that has to be defunded and so it goes on in fact if you have a look at it it turns out that the left is everybody who is not pathologically

the same is true for wall street of course as we all know all these big banks couldn't survive without being rescued all the time the same is true with the car industry today in germany for example most of the big car manufacturers would have collapsed already in the 2008 crisis they were saved the same is true for the aviation industry which has been saved in the

car industry and wall street which was the bailout plan that was actually imposed but if we had the social movements were on a higher level in a way we could turn the the situation in a way that the money is put in a different way but learning from one crisis means to be prepared for the next crisis to grow stronger and i think there are signs that this can happen with the

one is that it's a huge bonanza for wall street another is that it entails that working people are going to have to have are going to end up with a tremendous stake in the value of stocks the stocks on which their survival post-retirement survival depends on the survival of their families that means that working people will have

wall street journal had an article in which they called it a tragedy and they said the problem is that the opponents of fast track uh have what they called this nice phrase uh you know an uncontrollable weapon or something like that namely the population was opposed you know it's just a weapon that we've got to do something

dramatic they even made the Wall Street Journal there's an article in The Wall Street Journal last summer you may have seen about MIT my place Eh what had happened was that a student in a class computer science class had refused to answer in a question on an exam he said he knew that when he's asked why by the professor he said well he knew the answer but he was under a secrecy condition from a different

The Wall Street Journal was scandalized but that's the kind of thing that said that's the kind of thing you can expect you know as there's a move towards corporatization after all corporations you know they are not benevolent societies as Milton Friedman correctly says the board of directors of a corporation actually is a legal obligation to be a monster you know an ethical monster

each crisis is largely caused by Wall Street practices often crimes but the culprits are regularly rescued by the taxpayer as indeed is true right now the primary mechanism for rewarding the Agents of the crises is a government insurance policy the informal name for it is too big to fail the guarantee goes far beyond the regular bailouts that you read about it extends to cheap credit

at the Wall Street Journal not exactly a radical publication and pointed out that no matter what government is elected from right to left they follow the same policies because they're determined in Brussels a popular engagement in policy is essentially been abandoned a couple of years ago the Greek Prime Minister papandreu proposed a referendum

business press the wall street journal for example pointed out that opponents of these agreements have what they called an ultimate weapon namely the population Great Beast again therefore silences mandatory can't let that weapon be unsheath actually the journal made these comments when it was lamenting the failure of fast-track it was beaten back under popular pressure a couple years

one thing it's a huge bonanza for Wall Street that means trillions of dollars for Wall Street managers to play around with but I know that's discussed I think they're more important reason there is in the back of the scam pure scam about a social security crisis I mean I'm to bother talking about it's complete fabrication and if to the extent that was any problem there trivial ways of dealing with in there isn't a problem but the the the reasons for it are

country with the help of a few Wall Street lawyers and fin and Sears okay that's that alleged conspiracy you're talking about of course he's exaggerating you know it wasn't just Truman and a bunch of Wall Street lawyers infinite seers but that's the image that would be perfect we had that there'd be no crisis of democracy but when you have women and blacks and young people and old people and farmers and all these scum trying to get into the

a look at the Wall Street Journal editorial the first couple of years you know or reporting the first you know throughout the whole Clinton years and at first they were a little nervous because he had some of this populist rhetoric but pretty soon within a few months you start getting you know editorials in the Wall Street Journal and articles in fact not just editorials about how Clinton is the best president

a few Wall Street lawyers and thin and Sears okay that's that alleged conspiracy you're talking about of course is exaggerating you know it wasn't just Truman and a bunch of Wall Street lawyers infinite Sears but that's the image that would be perfect we had that there'd be no crisis of democracy but when you have women and blacks and young people and old people and farmers and all these scum trying to get into

wall street journal editorials the first couple of years tell you know or reporting first you know throughout the whole Clinton years and at first they were a little nervous because he had some of this populist rhetoric but pretty soon within a few months you start getting you know editorials in the Wall Street Journal and articles in fact not just editorials about how Clinton is the best president the business has ever

the Wall Street Journal now there was an article in The Wall Street Journal last summer you may have seen about MIT my place what it happened was that a student in a class computer science class had refused to answer in a question on an exam he said he knew that when he'd asked why by the professor he said well he knew the answer but he was under a secrecy condition from a different professor not to answer it and

I mean even the Wall Street Journal was scandalized but that's the kind of thing that said that's the kind of thing you can expect you know as there's a move towards corporatization after all corporations you know they are not benevolent societies as Milton Friedman correctly says the word of directors of a corporation actually is a legal obligation to be a monster you know an ethical monster their legal obligation

barely even mentioned so the wall street journal for example one of the more serious papers had a small story on page 12 I think in which they pointed out that there isn't much evidence and then they quoted some high US official as saying it doesn't even matter whether there's any evidence because we're going to do it anyway so why bother with the evidence the more ideological press like the New York Times and others they had

knowledge is the wall street journal which right away began to run within a couple of days serious report searching serious reports on the reasons why people of the region even if they hate bin Laden and despise everything he's doing nevertheless support them in many ways and even regard him as the conscience of Islam once it now the Wall Street Journal and others are there not surveying public opinion they're

Wall Street Journal where they're meeting political correspondent charged old side I commented a couple of days ago that there's a big problem in the Middle East we have not yet learned how to control the new forces that are emerging the assumption is well of course we have to control them that's our right to their duties that we have to learn how from the outset of the war Second World War in 1939 Washington

u.s. in the Wall Street Journal where their leading political correspondent George old side I commented a couple of days ago that there's a big problem in the Middle East we have not yet learned how to control the new forces that are emerging the assumption is well of course we have to control her of Egypt mahalo center of the couple of years ago and that was crushed by force but it was April 6 and that gives the name for the

the Wall Street Journal Maine Business Journal there was a an article that so that pondered seriously the strange fact that Afghans don't seem to care much about 9/11 in fact many of them know little about it and don't seem to care though of course the educated sectors are well aware especially those who were educated in the West they have the right story it the authors of the article their colleagues their readers this was

correspondent formerly The Wall Street Journal yoky Drazen and colleagues in the Atlantic magazine mainstream journal they conclude that the White House apparently did not consider the option of capturing Osama bin Laden alive they made that clear I'm virtually quoting - the clandestine special operations command that carried out the operation it's verified by senior US official with knowledge and discussions confirmed by

particularly The Wall Street Journal did do what they should have done they began investigating opinion in the in the region to find out why people they were trying to find out the answer to George Bush's plaintiff question why do they hate us when we're so good actually before even before I asked the question the Wall Street Journal had provided some of the answers they did do what they should have done they did a

essentially the same is what the Wall Street Journal discovered on September 14th and anybody knew in between so if you want to listen to some voices outside the cocoon it's not hard to hear them and they'll answer the questions about why there's a campaign of hatred against us whether it's now or in 1958 and in a good part of the rest of the world where people just don't enjoy being ground to dust under somebody's boot I don't like it leads to hatred you

idiots as culture hero gets the wall street is there good news for the ninety-nine percent and what kind of rules would you be looking for the good news is people like you before interested in overcoming the extreme narrowness of the spectrum of political discussion you talked about the enormous inequities and oppression that the society last night the people who are engaged in trying to end the extremely ominous threat of nuclear war

undemocratic in the wall street journal for example of red arrow pointed out there simply that it something that's correct they should take a look at your article countries no matter what government is in power they follow exactly the same policies it could be a communist run government that the government left governor the right they found a pretty much the same policies because the policies are dictated from

journals like The Wall Street Journal Forbes responded to the latest IPCC report with the article saying that the real problem is global cooling and there's some effect there are recent studies the choke appalling studies that show that concern about global warming in the United States is well below the global norm and it's stratified among Republicans it's far below the global norm among Democrats slightly below and

even the wall street journal is astonished they pointed out recently in an article that which is correct but in europe no matter what government is elected you know far left far right anything else they follow exactly the same policies because they have no role in setting policy the policies are set in the and by the bureaucrats and brussels under the shadow of the bund so it doesn't matter what people

Wall Street military security complex agribusiness the extractive industries they their campaign donations of elect the House and Senate and the president and they then right most of the bills that the Congress passes in the president's science so it's a form of state capitalism in which the capitalists seem to have the upper hand and I think the greed has run away with them to such an extent that

and you resist then Wall Street simply says well if you resist we're going to finance a takeover and we'll have somebody there who will move them so it's this sort of short run focus on profits it makes it hard or in fact I would say impossible like I think Chomsky believes for these kinds of issues to be responsibly dealt with and so if everyone is operating in on a short run basis focused only on return

treasury subsidies to wall street during the code of damage you know it's big but not out of reach and it would create a much better world much better a world in which people aren't suffering the effects of pollution traffic jams overcrowding everything that goes along with increasing global warming so we can create a better world

wall street donor-oriented you know elite professionals that kind of segment and there's a young mostly young progressive element the ones that got sanders virtually elected into a high position now we should recognize that sanders policies are in the united states they're called radical

sections not the front page of The Wall Street Journal you know business section of the New York Times there's been an announcement of another new Clinton policy in addition to the Clinton doctrine this is a new national export strategy the new national export strategy that Clinton announced with great fanfare says that now the export-import bank is going to subsidize exports of US product separate from that there's a side one that says a three

so The Wall Street Journal the other day had a week ago had a front-page story which was very enthusiastic it described an event of as they called it transcendent importance not small the event of transcendent importance was that wages in the United States were now lower than anywhere else in the industrial world except for England where Margaret Thatcher had done even better than Ronald Reagan and smashing

in the business press so The Wall Street Journal the other day had a had a front page story which was very enthusiastic it described an event of as they called it transcendent importance small the event of transcendent importance was that wages in the United States were now lower than anywhere else in the industrial world except for England where Margaret Thatcher had done even better than Ronald Reagan and

um the same is true for wall street of course as we all know all these big banks couldn't survive without being rescued all the time the same is true with the car industry today in germany for example is most of the big car manufacturers would have collapsed already in the 2008 crisis they were saved the same is true for the aviation industry which has been saved in the

the decision now not to prosecute Wall Street criminals for precipitating the 2008 crisis with systemic financial fraud all of these acts entail very aggressive and explicit arguments that the most powerful political and financial elites in our society should not be an are not subject to the rule of law because it's too disruptive it's too divisive it's more important that we look forward that we find ways to avoid repeating the problem and so you really

Wall Street who destroyed the economy and committed fraud on an incomprehensible scale so I think you're right that essentially these kind of petty transgressions that are punished so harshly is a way of obscuring the fact that the most significant criminals the most consequential crimes are are shielded and that the the biggest criminals are allowed to continue to run rampant with their criminality on the

take 30 billion of the money Wall Street banks have repaid and used it to help community banks you've created the small businesses and so on it it's true that we should export more of our goods but he didn't mention the way that has to be done to do that namely lowering the inflated dollar which is the financial industries are gonna like so I don't think it'll happen on freezing government spending it's it's not it's

bill on from saving Wall Street from saving the elites of this country from their own mass a bill worth trillions of dollars to regular people in need in this country I mean that's what a spending freeze really means and we have to look at it in the context of the the debt crisis that is occurring at the state level there's deficit huge deficits being run up in California is the most dramatic example but you're

Robin Hood Tax on speculative Wall Street trading.

interview with The Wall Street Journal after his appointed in which he was asked what are you going to do with the wait what they called the left wing Baron's in the Democratic Party like Barney Frank the people who were talking about cutting down the military budget or shifting taxes so as to you know encourage alternative energy and things like that he said there's no need to worry about them we're pragmatic will be

against the banks by now in Wall Street all together the public just wants to tear it down you know maybe they should that so Obama had to make some kind of a gesture and he did he said we'll put a limit on compensation if you get a bailout you can't get more than half a million dollars a year that's probably if that applies at all it will be too maybe half a dozen people there that's what

Wall Street Journal and New York Times in the Washington Post that sector Allen think's really going to change much because they go to a Larry and they are the endings to did this vetting media on the other hand the rest of the media yeah they may very well go the way of the tabloids a mirror and it takes Tate Britain where back in the 1960s the two big tabloids the mirror and the Sun they were Labor papers with a lot kind of a

was in The Wall Street Journal or somewhere where they were describing the fantastic potential of the internet because interact or all the interactive stuff and the idea sort of was like this is from memory I may have by now I may be remembering my retelling of the story but it was something like this the the population was broken up into two categories women and men and for women it would be a home shopping service so

example in the Wall Street Journal a Reagan insider former Reagan Knight Navy secretary James Webb had an interesting article in late January January 31st in which he described the Bush administration as one committed to brute force rather than other means which these are all quotes which had relentlessly maneuvered the country into an unnecessary war and it did it because they have a domestic very serious

equivalent of The Wall Street Journal the London Financial Times says that the United States must become what they call a mercenary state because somebody's got to keep order in the third world and we're the ones who can do it we no longer have the economic base so others will have to pay for it in the Chicago Tribune the main business conservative business daily in the United States their financial editor

of a few Wall Street lawyers and financiers that was good old days before the crisis erupted and we have to somehow go back to that in fact there's been a major ideological offensive for the past 20 years to try to overcome this crisis and to try to restore the proper state of things now it all makes perfect sense we can be an inspiration for democracy and we can be concerned about the crisis of

The Wall Street Journal they look at the lead story you see it described it says that Cuba has been dedicated to the cause of derailing the u.s. agenda in Latin America and therefore is a justified target for attack actually the author of the story probably didn't know it but he was virtually quoting from declassified CIA documents 40 years earlier which explained the reason for the attack at that time extensive

that can't be accepted and the wall street journal' more or less has it straight when they say that the crime is the dedication to the cause of the railing the u.s. is agenda in in latin america the same article of the Wall Street Journal goes on to say that Chavez in Venezuela is the heir apparent to Castro's cause of D railing the u.s. agenda and latin america which makes venezuela the successful existence of that government

wall street-oriented centrist party managers whose conception of the party is a party of wall street and the affluent professionals and so on they don't want this they and they're holding back you could see it right through the presidential campaign if you looked at the democratic party a website as i was doing regularly

that's not wall street's the uh and that battle's going on now one side doesn't stop those who own the place and run it they are in a relentless class war they never stop for a minute question is will the activists continue if they do they can make a difference as they have already you look at biden's program it it does

Wall Street Journal was able to exalt over what it called a welcome development of transcendent importance namely US labor costs had fallen below all other leading industrial powers apart from England wehaveto did fall below England for a while but then Margaret Thatcher succeeded in driving the working people and the poor down even more efficiently than us meanwhile profits were rising to new heights

the wall street journal is as good as any i know maybe better and it's supposed to be a conservative Journal but the the question is what is the media product and then if you want to understand it you don't look at liberal and conservative whatever they mean you look at the institutional roots what kind of institutions are the media well you know turns out their major corporations tied

the Wall Street Journal for example was so enthusiastic about him describing him as a continuing with what has been a pattern of Democratic presidents who link up very closely to interest of big business rather than a small business whereas the Republicans in contrast tend to be the party of the business community generally so somewhat different and I think that's pretty much what we're finding and we will continue

read say The Wall Street Journal the main business journal you'll find they're very enthusiastic about business and about Clinton and describe him as one of the best candidates big business could imagine despite the fact that on say social programs and other things he may not be entirely to their taste there were there was also a difference that you could detect on major economic policy the Clinton administration called

a top-down uh company the wall street journal they tell the reporters uh what to do they have editors they control what gets published but they have to keep the lights on and they have to pay so they're subject to the market uh competition and as a result i don't think they can print stories that are essentially

described about the wall street journal has been true of journals from their inception before the internet you had to pay to subscribe to a journal now actually the subscriptions to a journal don't pay for it what pays for the journal is the advertising advertising and i want to get to that next that's in your book as well it goes back

after wall street turned against it and more or less for the same reasons because it was too costly uh the the media were almost totally closed the critics of the war but among the general population this crisis of democracy did take place and it changed the society i think it led to a probably i hope a permanent cultural change outside the elite centers and the united states is just a different

everybody including wall street but because it was just not paying anymore but they were opposed on pragmatic grounds it wasn't working it was too costly it was maybe too bloody and so on but fundamentally wrong and immoral not a mistake that's that position is barely expressed in the ideological system but it's the position of about 70 percent of the population now here we have a striking case where

that's why the Wall Street Journal is the most strong pro-israel Journal that's why you get increasing high-tech investment in Israel that's why you have things that's why the military Lobby supports it now you can argue that this is against something old the national interest whatever that is but insofar as the national interest is determined by a powerful domestic forces in the United States I'm sorry we're at

to the Wall Street Journal for example so I did hear that part um sorry um I did hear your discussion about the Wall Street Journal and your suggestion that it was the business community that really promotes Israel and it's not the Israel Lobby that I guess you don't think it's a little ironic though because here you are clearly very very

The Wall Street Journal reported a couple of days after the September 11th attacks went to their credit they began to do some studies which long should have been done long before asking what's you know what are people's attitudes in that region of course they looked at a narrow sector the sector they're interested in what they called moneyed Muslims the rich guys so they were thinking of bankers and

probably didn't want it that's not wall street's the and that battle's going on now one side doesn't stop those who own the place and run it they are in a relentless class war they never stop for a minute the question is will the activists continue if they do they can make a difference as they have already you look at biden's program it

yesterday in the lead story of The Wall Street Journal they look at the lead story you see it described it says that Cuba has been dedicated to the cause of the railing the US agenda in Latin America and therefore is a justified target for attack actually the author of the story probably didn't know it but he was virtually quoting from declassified CIA documents 40 years earlier which explained the reason for the attack at that time extensive terrorist attack on

the Wall Street Journal more or less has it straight when they say that the crime is the dedication to the cause of the railing the US has agenda in in Latin America the same article of the Wall Street Journal goes on to say that Chavez in Venezuela is the heir apparent to Castro's cause of derailing the u.s. agenda in Latin America which makes Venezuela the successful existence of that government an unacceptable

wall street journal from Super Tuesday pivot table to the front page of the Internet there's a big story in covering half the front page where the headline is something like this it says issues received in 08 campaign voters prefer character it will sort of true not entirely but issues didn't receive because they're ever there on type this kind of a principle of American electoral campaigns where you keep

wall street journal is correct except they said they receded they didn't receive news over there and that's pretty characteristic for American relations candidates are sold they're marketed quite public relations firms protect the same firms that market commodities and just as advertising is designed to undermine markets it's also designed to undermine democracy know that and then take a course on economics

every day so take last Sunday's Wall Street Journal typical example there's a weakened review section it's it features an article entitled fossil fuels will save the world really the lead story in the news section is headlined US producers ready new oil wave the article glory is in the thought of what they call an ocean of oil from US shale as American energy companies are poised to unleash a further flood while they lead us exuberantly

from The Wall Street Journal is unfortunately pretty typical you read it in the business presses of the business pages of the press across the spectrum New York Times Financial Times others plenty of euphoria about how the United States can become the Saudi Arabia of the 21st century it can achieve energy independence we can flood the world with oil all great and one the price of oil is going down which is

about escalating violence. So the Wall Street Journal, a major business Journal, just had a major editorial in which they said the United States Navy should break the blockade. What happens when the US Navy starts confronting Russian ships? Do the Russians say, Oh, that was pleasant?! Why don't you sink our fleet? Not very likely. So you may not like it, but you have to recognise the real world and the business community. The Wall

and the business community. The Wall Street Journal apparently can't. Fortunately, the Pentagon can. So it blocks these efforts. They're the peacekeeping force in the United States at this point, literally. Another proposal is to send sophisticated advanced anti-ship weapons to sink the Russian fleet. They already managed to sink the flagship; so let's go on. Again what happens?! Does Russia react? Well, if it does, we're finished.

Congress so does the wall street journal' they all think the populations are saw on our side and there's proof of it actually my latest an article and covered action quarterly where I ended up giving some evidence about this the evidence that I cited was the probe there's a program in Congress called be funding the left and you know the Wall Street Journal has big articles about how we got to defund the left and

are hungry get work now in fact The Wall Street Journal had another article saying that 16 percent of the elderly are severely malnutrition than many are literally starving but AARP is trying to work out some kind of program for them to get some work so that's another left-wing organization that has to be defunded and so it goes on in fact if you have a look at it it turns out that the left is everybody who is not pathologically insane no

East here's one from The Wall Street Journal a couple days ago by a very good correspondent very knowledgeable correspondent carla and robins and it's about the mr. negroponte so just to counter what the amy was saying about the media they do report things about him if you go to the right journals like the wall street journal where they have a trustworthy audience and they can kind of tell people things that you might not

described in The Wall Street Journal to as an economic miracle or you can buy anything you want which is true their 24-hour you know malls open for people can afford it and you can buy computers and plenty of great great place for retired americans to go they can live very cheaply and wonderful mansions and so on but for children under 2 that prospects are permanent brain damage and that's what we call a victory for

Right after 9/11, the Wall Street Journal, to its credit, did a -- ran a poll in the Muslim world, not of the general population, of the kind of people they are interested in, I think what they called the moneyed Muslims or some phrase like that -- professionals, directors of multinational corporations, bankers, people deeply embedded in the whole U.S.-dominated neoliberal project there -- so not what's called anti-American.

the folks not far from you on Wall Street are just doing fine. They're the ones who created the current crisis. They're the ones who were called upon to deal with it. They're coming out stronger and richer than ever. But everything's fine, as long as the population is passive. If one-tenth of one percent of the population is gaining a preponderant amount of the wealth that's produced, while for the rest there 30 years of stagnation,

Halliburton executives in the Wall Street Journal explaining how their current lucrative contracts (thanks to the American tax payer) are placing them in the position where they're gaining the knowledge which will enable them to direct and manage the oil industry after the transfer of sovereignty. So economic sovereignty is to be excluded with all the obvious consequences, but political sovereignty will also be minimal. The US

insurance companies won't allow it. Wall Street investors won't allow it so it doesn't matter if ninety five per cent of the population would turn out to be in favour of it, it's politically impossible. Those are democratic deficits. We can run through a long series of them. Now the public is essentially out of the system. You can see it pretty clearly by looking at the elections. Who is running in the 2004 election? Two men, born to

Republican establishment, and Wall Street, and the bankers, and the corporate executives and so on, they don't want this. They don't want it at all. It's the part of the base that is mobilized that wants it. And they're finding it hard to control that base. There's a reason why they have a collection of near crazies as the base. Over the past 30 or 40 years, both political parties have drifted to the right. Same thing's happened

candidate, Romney, a kind of a Wall Street lawyer and investor, and they wanted him in. But the base didn't want him. And every time a candidate came up from the base, that is with popular support, the Republican establishment went into high gear to destroy them with massive propaganda attack ads and so on. It was one after another, each one crazier than the last. And the Republican establishment is afraid of them, they don't want

agree with radical rags like the Wall Street Journal on this. Right after the Sept. 11 bombing, to its credit, the Journal was the first and almost the only newspaper -- the Christian Science Monitor did it too -- to have a look at what opinion was really like in the Islamic world. The Journal turned to the people it's concerned with: wealthy Muslims. They had an article -- I think it was called "Moneyed Muslims" -- that evaluated

The Wall Street Journal, to its credit, has run a couple of articles on attitudes of wealthy Muslims, the people who most interest them: businessmen, bankers, professionals, and others throughout the Middle East region who are very frank about their grievances. They put it more politely than the poor people in the slums and the streets, but it's clear. Everybody knows what [their grievances] are.

prime concern stressed in the Wall Street Journal articles and by everybody who knows anything about the region-the prime concern of the "moneyed Muslims," [who are] basically pro-American, incidentally-is the dual U.S. policies, which contrast very sharply in their eyes, toward Iraq and Israel.

by the serious press like the Wall Street Journal, which pointed out in its report that this wasn't the end of the Iraq war; it was the opening of the election campaign. It's the preparation of the carefully crafted cowboy leader in his battle gear, who is going to protect you and who already saved you from Iraq, which was just about to destroy us. And he is now going to save you from the next dragon.

And the better press, like the Wall Street Journal, points it out. So, yes, all of these things are connected.

In fact, it is not simply that the last period has

A rare exception was the Wall Street Journal , which devoted its lead story on December 31 to an in-depth analysis of what had taken place. The headline reads: "War in Kosovo Was Cruel, Bitter, Savage; Genocide It Wasn't." The conclusion contrasts rather sharply with wartime propaganda. A database search of references to "genocide" in Kosovo for the first week of bombing alone was interrupted when it reached its limit of 1,000

talking about the editorials in the Wall Street Journal, that's the spectrum of opinion. Something is politically possible if it's support by major concentrations of capital.
