TomDispatch.com: A Regular Antidote to the Mainstream Media
June 18, 2013
Tomgram: Nick Turse, Blowback Central
The other day, Hamid Karzai, the U.S.-supported Afghan president who was once sardonically nicknamed “the mayor of Kabul,” had a few curious things to say about American policy in the Muslim world. Karzai, of course, is a man whose opinions -- whether on U.S. special operations forces and their (out of control) militias, U.S. night raids on Afghan homes, or U.S. air strikes on Afghan villages -- Washington loves to ignore. He is considered “volatile.” Sometimes, however, it’s worth listening to what our subordinate allies, uncomfortable nationalists-cum-puppets, think and say about us.

As Josh Rogin reported at the Daily Beast, Karzai recently suggested that, starting in the early 1980s when the Reagan administration and the CIA buddied up with the Saudis and Pakistani intelligence and backed a set of extreme fundamentalist Afghan rebels against the Soviets, the U.S. has been, advertently or not, promoting Islamic radicalism in the Greater Middle East. As Karzai said of that long-forgotten moment, “The more radical we looked and talked, the more we were called mujahedin. The consequence of that was a massive effort toward uprooting traditional Afghan values and culture and tolerance.” In his speech at the 2013 U.S.-Islamic World Forum, he made a case for the ways in which Washington’s destabilization of the region has never ended, provoking ever more extreme blowback as it goes.

Without a doubt, the central event in the multi-decade fiasco that for a few years was known as the Global War on Terror was the invasion of Iraq, Washington’s preeminent act of folly so far in the twenty-first century. Its disastrous effects have yet to be fully absorbed or assessed. Yet without that invasion, it is hard to imagine a whole series of developments, including the present killing fields in Syria, the potential disintegration of Iraq itself, the Arab Spring, or the spread of extreme Islamic factions ever more widely in a vast region. The irony, of course, is that the Bush administration and the neocon types who set so much of this in motion used to refer to the Greater Middle East from North Africa to the Chinese border disparagingly as “the arc of instability.” Today, it increasingly looks like an arc of chaos and, as Nick Turse indicates, the process, far from ending, seems to be spreading -- in this case, deep into Africa.

Turse, author of the recent bestseller Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam, has been following the latest U.S. global command, AFRICOM, as it embeds American military power ever more fully on the African continent. (In the process, he has engaged in full-scale public debate with that command over the nature of what it is doing.) Today, he offers a magisterial overview of what can be known about the increasing American military presence in Africa and how it is continuing a now more than three-decade-old process of spurring destabilization, the growth of radical Islamic movements, and blowback in a new region of the planet. Tom
The Terror Diaspora
The U.S. Military and the Unraveling of Africa
By Nick Turse
The Gulf of Guinea. He said it without a hint of irony or embarrassment. This was one of U.S. Africa Command’s big success stories. The Gulf... of Guinea.
Never mind that most Americans couldn’t find it on a map and haven’t heard of the nations on its shores like Gabon, Benin, and Togo. Never mind that just five days before I talked with AFRICOM’s chief spokesman, the Economist had asked if the Gulf of Guinea was on the verge of becoming “another Somalia,” because piracy there had jumped 41% from 2011 to 2012 and was on track to be even worse in 2013.
The Gulf of Guinea was one of the primary areas in Africa where “stability,” the command spokesman assured me, had “improved significantly,” and the U.S. military had played a major role in bringing it about. But what did that say about so many other areas of the continent that, since AFRICOM was set up, had been wracked by coups, insurgencies, violence, and volatility?
A careful examination of the security situation in Africa suggests that it is in the process of becoming Ground Zero for a veritable terror diaspora set in motion in the wake of 9/11 that has only accelerated in the Obama years. Recent history indicates that as U.S. “stability” operations in Africa have increased, militancy has spread, insurgent groups have proliferated, allies have faltered or committed abuses, terrorism has increased, the number of failed states has risen, and the continent has become more unsettled.

NATO Maneuvers and Countries of Clay
"What we're seeing is a new attempt to divide up the MENA region."

Featured Guest: Rick Rozoff

Description:

The New Sykes-Picot

The carving-up of the old Ottoman Empire continues 100 years later. Iraq exists as an entity on a map, but it is already de-facto at least two. We know why. NATO is moving its regional headquarters from Greece to Turkey, consolidating two military commands.

In Jordan, NATO is leaving behind a bevy of troops and missiles for later unspecified use. Ideas of sovereignty and states are becoming almost mythical in that region. Whole countries are treated like clay.

While NATO gobbles up Eastern Europe, it is moving into the Middle East, and recruiting "aspiring"; countries from the former USSR to South America. Any obscure conflict involving the Dniester area could bring NATO into a European war.

The finger is on the button to launch strikes on Syria. It can happen at any time. The largest conflict since the second world war is looming into view.

Bold and Daring: The Way Progressive News Should Be
If you have a problem reading this email, please click here to see the web page version
You received this email because you signed up for it at OpEdNews. Unsubscribe instructions are at the bottom of this email.

Nicco Mele's new book, The End of Big, includes a chapter on the end of big journalism and how we're losing a lot of the investigative journalists as news operations size down or go bust. I've made a decision to build some tools to facilitate investigative journalism. 
My hope is to take the great community of citizen journalists we have at Opednews and to provide tools to help assemble and coordinate teams focusing on specific investigative targets.  Read the rest here.
It is an extraordinary miracle-- enabled by YOU-- that Opednews does what it does on so little funding. But we do need donations from-- not much, about $160 a day. That's tiny compared to what most progressive and liberal media sites look to raise. Your $5, $25, $50 or $100 donation makes a huge difference, let alone the extremely rare $200 or higher donations. So, please, make a donation to help us do our work, today. Click here to donate now.

Given open FBI acknowledgment that it monitors American phone calls on a massive scale, and that it almost certainly relies on the NSA to do so, it is hard to understand the denials by the White House and its allies. Perhaps, like Groucho Marx, they hope we will believe them instead of our own two lying eyes.

Washington Is Insane
As the Russian government made clear, Washington's accusation is not believable. No informed person could possibly believe it. No doubt, many Americans wearing patriotism on their sleeves will fall for Washington's latest lie, but no one else in the world will. Even Washington's NATO puppets calling for attacking Syria know that the justification for the attack is a lie.
Talk Radio giants are claiming their propaganda is legally the same as 'bonafide news.' It will be, if the FCC says so. We must not allow that to happen.

While fixated on sports, singing contests and network news, we're being lowered into our degradation. NSA, FBI, Homeland Security and CIA spooks shadow us for evidence of rebellion and espy nada. After inconsequential Occupy and Tea Party twitches, all is quiet. Those sign waving assemblies merely served a carthatic function, and even wore us out, without threatening the status quo at all.

The Permanence of Permanent War, Part 1: Setting the Stage
So what is the "War on Terror" (described some time ago by a retired Army general as the equivalent in terminology to a "War on Flanking Maneuvers") really about? Well it and the response to it are really about creating a state of Permanent War for the United States. This column is part 1 of my consideration of this subject.
British authorities are scrambling to justify how they --- while hosting a global economic summit in 2009 --- spied on their guests with help from America's National Security Agency. Some UK media outlets seem a little spooked themselves in getting commentary on the incident.

Clinton, whose wife is almost certain to run for president in 2016, shoved Obama out of his previous cautious stance on military action in Syria. In a rare act of disloyalty as a member of the club of former presidents, Clinton joined the chorus of war drum-beaters to persuade Obama to supply small arms to the rebel side of the Syrian civil war.
We are losing the foundation of innocence until proven guilty. The assumption of innocence no longer exists in a surveillance state. Neither does a Constitution with a Fourth Amendment. Neither does habeas corpus or due process. All of those are things of value in the world of democratic men and women.
The best Israel can hope for is that Assad holds on but only just. That would keep the regime in place, or boxed into its heartland, but sapped of the energy to concern itself with anything other than immediate matters of survival. It would be unable to offer help to Hizbullah, isolating the militia in Lebanon and cutting off its supply line to Iran.

Schooling Ourselves in an Unequal America - REBECCA STRAUSSNYTimes.com
"Averages can be misleading. The familiar, one-dimensional story told about American education is that it was once the best system in the world but that now it's headed down the drain, with piles of money thrown down after it. The truth is that there are two very different education stories in America. The children of the wealthiest 10 percent or so do receive some of the best education in the world, and the quality keeps getting better. For most everyone else, this is not the case. America's average standing in global education rankings has tumbled not because everyone is falling, but because of the country's deep, still-widening achievement gap between socioeconomic groups. And while America does spend plenty on education, it funnels a disproportionate share into educating wealthier students, worsening that gap. The majority of other advanced countries do things differently, at least"
The position of the Republican leaders does not bode well for a broad shift in the approach of Congress to questions about military adventures abroad. That's especially unfortunate at a time when the Obama administration is ramping up US support for Syrian rebels -- a move that should be checked and balanced by Congress.

When President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law in 1963, women earned 59 cents for every dollar earned by a man. While the wage gap has narrowed somewhat since then, women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man earns.
National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden answered questions from ordinary folks Monday on a Guardian newspaper online chat. It was a technical first of sorts -- a virtual public news conference by someone who's in a lot of trouble and does not wish to make public their precise location. So did he reveal anything new? Yes -- among other things, he charged that US lawmakers are themselves shielded against NSA snooping. He also was harshly critical of former VP Dick Cheney, who has called Snowden a "traitor" for his disclosure of NSA secrets. He said Cheney had supported the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping as well as the Iraq War. "Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American," said Snowden.
Washington's decision to arm Syria's Sunni Muslim rebels has plunged America into the great Sunni-Shia conflict of the Islamic Middle East, entering a struggle that now dwarfs the Arab revolutions which overthrew dictatorships across the region. A military decision has been taken in Iran -- even before last week's presidential election -- to send a first contingent of 4,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Syria to support President Bashar al-Assad's forces against the largely Sunni rebellion that has cost almost 100,000 lives in just over two years. Iran is now fully committed to preserving Assad's regime
My traditional end-of-June article. Thia is the summer of Edward Snowden.

The other day, Hamid Karzai, the U.S.-supported Afghan president who was once sardonically nicknamed "the mayor of Kabul," had a few curious things to say about American policy in the Muslim world. Karzai, of course, is a man whose opinions -- whether on U.S. special operations forces and their (out of control) militias, U.S. night raids on Afghan homes, or U.S. air strikes on Afghan villages -- Washington loves to ignore.

Equality Under the Law
Exactly so. Regardless of your personal opinion about gay marriage and whether or not a person is "born this way," it is impossible to maintain that this group is less deserving of equal treatment under the law than their heterosexual counterparts. Yet, the vocal minority in the Rapture Right will argue just that, and will add that the Bible supports their bigotry. God loves everybody ... except homosexuals.

The latest treasure trove of NSA surveillance activities passed on to The Guardian by Ed Snowden has British Intelligence working directly w/ the NSA to eavesdrop on world leaders @ 2009 London conferences. They secretly tapped diplomat communications before Group of 8 industrial conferences and intercepted the communications of then Russian President Dmitri Medvedev; all approved by the FISA Court & shared w/ Congress.

For our purposes, the precise nature of the self is not the main concern. What really matters is our experience of being that self. Is the experience pleasant or unpleasant? To what degree does that experience help us in regulating our emotions and behaviors? As we connect more with this self, we feel more pleasure in the simple fact of our existence.

As happens with so much news these days, the Edward Snowden revelations about National Security Agency (NSA) spying and just how far we've come in the building of a surveillance state have swept over us 24/7 -- waves of leaks, videos, charges, claims, counterclaims, skullduggery, and government threats. When a flood sweeps you away, it's always hard to find a little dry land to survey the extent and nature of the damage.

Pendant les préparatifs de la Coupe du Monde au Brésil, des manifestations pacifiques sont violemment réprimées par la police

Mondialisation.ca, 17 juin 2013

“Je me fiche de la coupe, je veux santé et éducation”
Manifestation, le 16 juin à Rio de Janeiro
Le gouvernement de Dilma Rousseff fait face à une grande vague de manifestations au Brésil qui ont été réprimées violemment par la Police militaire (PM) du Brésil.  Vendredi dernier, le 14 juin, madame Rousseff faisait la promotion de la Coupe du Monde de 2014 dans la plus grande favela de Rio de Janeiro, Rocinha, pendant que des manifestants affrontaient la violence policière. La présidente tente de construire l’image d’un miracle brésilien amené par la Coupe du Monde :
“Quand ils vous demandent ce que nous gagnons avec la Coupe du monde, outre la joie de voir le Brésil jouer, outre la Coupe des confédérations où nous tous espérons voir le Brésil gagner, nous gagnons en améliorations dans la sécurité publique, nous gagnons avec tous ces travaux d’infrastructure qui sont essentiels comme le métro, les routes.”
Le mouvement de protestation contre les mesures d’austérité du gouvernement s’est fait entendre partout au pays. Le coeur de l’éclosion sociale se trouve à Porto Alegre dans l’état du Rio Grande do Sul. Le 13 juin dernier des milliers de personnes étaient rassemblées devant l’hôtel de ville pour s’opposer à l’augmentation du tarif du transport public. En mars dernier, des milliers de citoyens avaient déjà protesté contre la hausse du prix du billet d’autobus passant de R$ 2,85 à R$ 3.85.


Manifestion du 25 mars 2013 à Porto Alegre contre l’augmentation du billet d’autobus
La Justice avait alors donné raison aux citadins en imposant une injonction permettant de geler le prix du transport public. Cependant cette injonction pourrait être révoquée à tout moment, la décision étant contestée par les compagnies d’autobus,  ce qui entraîna una une nouvelle vague de manifestations la semaine dernière.  En octobre 2012, des centaines d’étudiants et activistes avaient également manifesté contre la privatisation de l’espace public alors que la ville octroyait le droit de Coca-Cola de squatter le square  Largo Glênio Peres par sa mascotte géante de la Coupe du Monde de 2014.

Dans la mégapole de Sao Paulo, le mouvement Passe Livre revendique la gratuité du transport public (des manifestations les 11 et 13 juin 2013 ont fait la une des journaux au Brésil). L’augmentation abusive du tarif a provoqué un premier appel sur Facebook à manifester au centre-ville de Sao Paulo. Le mouvement de protestation s’est vite étendu à l’ensemble du pays en dénonçant également le prix du transport à l’échelle nationale, la mauvaise gestion des ressources publiques et la corruption.  Ces manifestations ont été marquées par la violence des forces de l’ordre. Des manifestations similaires ont eu lieu dans le reste du pays, par exemple à Rio de Janeiro et Goiânia.

Le Brésil est fier de remporter la victoire face au Japon alors que persiste le mécontement populaire et la violence policière dans le pays


Des milliers de Brésiliens ont manifesté à Rio de Janeiro devant le stade Mané-Garrincha en dénonçant le coût astronomique des dépenses pour le Mondial, officiellement 15 milliards de dollars pour le Mondial aux dépends des programmes sociaux et de l’accessibilité à un logement. Le prix des aliments est en forte hausse. Depuis 2012, le prix des fruits et des légumes a augmenté de 33% .
La présidente a tenté de convaincre la population en déclarant le 16 juin à Rocinha :
“Ce sont des travaux pour améliorer la ville. Cela peut (servir) momentanément pour les touristes mais pour le reste de la vie, ce sera pour améliorer la vie de la population brésilienne.”
Samedi le 15 juin, à Brasillia, une manifestation a été réprimée dans la violence à l’ouverture de la Coupe des Confédérations (match Brésil-Japon). Les milliers de manifestants ont été dispersés à coups de matraques, de tirs de balle en caoutchouc et de gaz lacrymogène.  Une manifestation avait également lieu à Rio de Janeiro juste avant le premier match de la Confédération entre l’Italie et le Mexique (le dimanche 16 juin).


La violence policière a fait des centaines de blessés et des arrestations massives ont eu lieu, dont de nombreux journalistes.
Le président de la Fifa a dit : “le soccer est plus fort que les personnes mécontentes” (en parlant des manifestant). Il disait également :
“Temos visto issu também na Turquia e tenho toda a confiança nas autoridades” (Nous avons également vu ceci en Turquie et nous faisons confiance aux autorités.)
Plus de la moitié de la population appuie les manifestations. (55 % selon un sondage du quotidien la Folha de Sao Paulo). Des manifestations d’une telle ampleur ne s’étaient pas vues depuis 1992 alors que la population exigeait l’impeachment de Collor de Mello dénonçant alors la corruption du gouvernement.
Manifestations en musique
Les artistes se sont également mobilisés en manifestant en paroles et musique. Le chanteur Leoni a fait une chanson ”As coisas não caen do céu” en appui aux manifestants :

Des manifestations massives avaient également lieu aujourd’hui (17 juin 2013) dans tout le pays.
Le gouvernement brésilien a averti lundi 17 juin qu’il ne permettrait pas que des manifestations perturbent la Coupe des Confédérations de football, juste avant de nouveaux rassemblements pour protester contre l’augmentation du prix destransports publics et le coût du Mondial-2014. “Celui qui croit pouvoir empêcher la réalisation de ces événements fera face à la détermination du gouvernement de l’en empêcher. Les manifestations seront tolérées dans ces limites”, a prévenu le ministre des sports, Aldo Rebelo, lors d’un forum sur l’économie du football à Rio de Janeiro, en se référant à la Coupe des Confédérations et au Mondial.

Berlusconi statista fa impazzire i trinariciuti. Niente crisi sui processi

Daniela Santanché fa del governo Letta la leva politica per salvare l’economia nonostante l’ingiustizia
“Guai a chi mette in relazione quello che succede nelle aule di giustizia con le sorti di questo governo. Basta guerre. Berlusconi lo possono anche crocifiggere in un tribunale, ma lui non anteporrà mai i suoi problemi all’interesse dell’Italia. Se il governo farà quello che deve, se saprà davvero difendere il nostro paese in Europa, allora possa durare cent’anni Enrico Letta!”. Ogni tanto Daniela Santanchè sorprende i suoi intervistatori, la donna tostissima si rivela tostamente moderata, volutamente fattiva, lievemente iperbolica (“noi e il Pd abbiamo messo la casacca della nazionale, e insieme diciamo Forza Italia”).

Il puffo greco e la morale della favola

Non solo da noi vige uno strano “populismo costituzionale”
Otto giorni fa il premier greco, Antonis Samaras, ha chiuso per decreto, senza consultare gli alleati di governo, la tv greca. L’ha chiusa per riaprirla solo dopo una severa risrutturazione che tagli sprechi e abnormità di bilancio (10 per cento di share, 600 miliardi di vecchie lire di costo, 2.500 impiegati sottoutilizzati, proliferazione di sinecure territoriali). Il paese è impazzito, ma non è una battaglia di libertà come quella che da noi portò a salvare i puffi della tv commerciale dall’assalto dei pretori di Avellino e del partito Rai del grande Biagione Agnes (per non parlare del referendum sulla pubblicità nei film vinto da Berlusconi a mani basse).

Fake WMD “Intelligence” and Orwellian Double-speak : Washington Is Insane

Global Research, June 17, 2013

In the 21st century the two hundred year-old propaganda that the American people control their government has been completely shattered. Both the Bush and Obama regimes have made it unmistakenly clear that the American people don’t even influence, much less control, the government. As far as Washington is concerned, the people are nothing but chaff in the wind.
Polls demonstrate that 65% of the US population opposes US intervention in Syria. Despite this clear indication of the people’s will, the Obama regime is ramping up a propaganda case for more arming of Washington’s mercenaries sent to overthrow the secular Syrian government and for a “no-fly zone” over Syria, which, if Libya is the example, means US or NATO aircraft attacking the Syrian army on the ground, thus serving as the air force of Washington’s imported mercenaries, euphemistically called “the Syrian rebels.”
Washington declared some time ago that the “red line” that would bring Syria under Washington’s military attack was the Assad government’s use of chemical weapons of mass destruction against Washington’s mercenaries. Once this announcement was made, everyone with a brain immediately knew that Washington would fabricate false intelligence that Assad had used chemical weapons, just as Washington presented to the United Nations the intentional lie via Secretary of State Colin Powell that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had dangerous weapons of mass destruction.
Remember National Security Advisor Condi Rice’s image of a “mushroom cloud over American cities?” Propagandistic lies were Washington’s orders of the day.
And they still are. Now Washington has fabricated the false intelligence, and president obama has announced it with a straight face, that Syria’s Assad has used sarin gas on several occasions and that between 100 and 150 “of his own people,” a euphemism for the US supplied foreign mercenaries, have been killed by the weapon of mass destruction.
Think about that for a minute. As unfortunate as is any death from war, is 100-150 deaths “mass destruction?” According to low-ball estimates, the US-sponsored foreign mercenary invasion of Syria has cost 93,000 lives, of which 150 deaths amounts to0.0016%. If we round up, Washington’s 150 deaths comes to two-thousands of one percent.
In other words, 99.998% of the deaths did not cross the “red line.” But the 0.002 (rounded up) percent did.
Yes, I know. Washington’s position makes no sense. But when has it ever made any sense?
Let’s stretch our minds just a tiny bit farther. Assad knows about Washington’s “red line.” It has been repeated over and over in order to create in the minds of the distracted American public that there is a real, valid reason for attacking Syria. Why would Assad use the proscribed weapons of mass destruction in order to kill a measly 100-150 mercenaries when his army is mopping up the US mercenaries without the use of gas and when Assad knows that the use of gas brings in the US military against him?
As the Russian government made clear, Washington’s accusation is not believable. No informed person could possibly believe it. No doubt, many Americans wearing patriotism on their sleeves will fall for Washington’s latest lie, but no one else in the world will. Even Washington’s NATO puppets calling for attacking Syria know that the justification for the attack is a lie. For the NATO puppets, Washington’s money overwhelms integrity, for which the rewards are low.
The Russians certainly know that Washington is lying. The Russian Foreign Minister Larov said:
“The [Assad] government, as the opposition is saying openly, is enjoying military success on the ground. The [Assad] regime isn’t driven to the wall. What sense is there for the regime to use chemical arms–especially in such small amounts.”
Larov is a relatively civilized person in the role of Russia’s main diplomat. However, other Russian officials can be more pointed in their dismissal of Washington’s latest blatant lies. Yury Ushakov, an aide to Russian President Putin said: “The Americans tried to present us with information on the use of chemical weapons by the [Assad] regime, but frankly we thought that it was not convincing. We wouldn’t like to invoke references to [the infamous lies o] Secretary of State Powell [at the UN alleging Iraqi WMD], but the facts don’t look convincing in our eyes.” Aleksey Pushkov, the chairman of the Russian Duma’s Foreign Affairs Committee, cut to the chase.
“The data about Assad’s use of chemical weapons is fabricated by the same facility that made up the lies about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. Obama is walking George W. Bush’s path.”
Here in America no one will ever hear straight talk like this from the US presstitutes.
Orwellian double-speak is now the language of the United States government. Secretary of State john kerry condemned Assad for harming “peace talks” while the US arms its Syrian mercenaries.
Washington’s double-speak is now obvious to the world. Not only Assad, but also the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and every US puppet state which includes all of NATO and Japan, are fully aware that Washington is again lying through its teeth. The Russians, Chinese, and Iranians are trying to avoid confrontation with Washington, as war with the modern nuclear weapons would destroy all life on planet earth. What is striking is that despite 24/7 brainwashing by the presstitutes, a large majority of the American population opposes obama’s war on Syria.
This is good news. It means more Americans are developing the ability to think independently of the lies Washington feeds to them.
What the neocon nazis, the bush/obama regime, and the presstitute media have made clear is that Washington is going to push its agenda of world hegemony to the point of starting World War III, which, of course, means the end of life on earth.
Russia and China, either one of which can destroy the United States, have learned that the US government is a liar and cannot be trusted. The Libyan “no-fly” policy to which Russia and China agreed turned out to be a NATO air attack on the Libyan army so that the CIA-sponsored mercenaries could prevail.
Russia and China, having learned their lesson, are protesting Washington’s assault on Syria that Washington pretends is a “civil war.” If Syria falls, Russia and China know that Iran is next.
Iran is Russia’s underbelly, and for China Iran is 20% of its energy imports. Both Russian and Chinese governments know that after Iran falls, they are next. There is no other explanation for Washington surrounding Russia with missile bases and surrounding China with naval and air bases.
Both Russia and China are now preparing for the war that they see as inevitable. Washington’s crazed, demented drive for world hegemony is bringing unsuspecting Americans up against two countries with hydrogen bombs whose combined population is five times the US population. In such a conflict everyone dies.
Considering the utterly insane government ruling in Washington, if human life exists in 2020, it will be a miracle. All the worry about future Medicare and Social Security deficits is meaningless. There will be no one here to collect the benefits.
