Economist Richard Wolff: Eurozone Woes Created By Mating Dysfunctional Political & Economic Systems |
| Uploaded by democracynow on Dec 2, 2011 DemocracyNow.org - European leaders are preparing to unveil their plans for addressing the sovereign debt crisis that's threatened to tear apart the Eurozone. Both France and Germany are expected to push for changes to the Eurozone treaty, including centralized oversight of national budgets and tighter reins on debt. In a speech on Thursday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said radical changes are needed in order to save the Euro. Sarkozy's address came after central banks -- including the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank -- took coordinated action to prevent a credit crunch among European banks. For more on the developing crisis in Europe and its implications worldwide, Democracy Now! speaks with economist and professor Richard Wolff. He is the author of several books including "Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown and What to Do About It." "The Fed is recognizing that another bailout is needed," Wolff says. "All the steps taken over the last two years to try to cope with this crisis of our capitalist system haven't worked, and so we're now we are again on the brink of a crisis, and again, public money and public institutions are bailing out a private banking system and a private enterprise system that is not working and is not solving its own problems." Wolff continues, "The fundamental question is you've gotta deal with an economic system that is not working. ... You've gotta take big steps to change the way this economic system works, or find a new system. ... It's as though we have a dysfunctional economic system coupled to a now dysfunctional political system and instead of fixing each other, these two systems are making each other in a kind of spiral downturn..." |

Hartmann: The Good, The Bad, and The Very Very Sibylinely Ugly: Including Newt Gingrich (by mistake) |
| Uploaded by TheBigPictureRT on Dec 1, 2011 The Good! Newt Gingrich! He probably didn't MEAN to make this list - but he ended up on it because he let this little bit of truth slip out while at a town hall even in South Carolina last night. The Bad! Glenn Beck. Ever heard of the guy? Glenn Beck continues his descent into irrelevance after leaving GOP TV's Fox so-called News - but he did return to his old employer and spew some nonsense on the O'Reilly Factor. And the Very, Very Ugly...Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church. The Pike County, Kentucky charge jumped in a time machine and traveled backward forty years to issue a resolution that bans interracial couples from becoming members of the church or participating in worship activities. Unclear if they'll also be taking the word Freewill out of the name of their church |

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Reports Syria's Death Toll Tops 4,000 |
| Uploaded by NTDTV on Dec 2, 2011 U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay warns that the increasing number of army defectors taking up arms against Assad's regime is pushing Syria into a civil war. The death toll during the past eight months has gone over 4,000. Syria is on the cusp of civil war as rebel soldiers and others take up arms against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, the top U.N. human rights official said on Thursday. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay told a news conference that 4,000 people are already known to have died in the unrest in Syria this year. [Navi Pillay, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights]: "We are placing the figure at 4,000 but really the reliable information coming to us is that it is much more than that." The U.N. Human Rights Council is holding an emergency session on Syria on Friday following a report by an independent U.N. commission of inquiry that said Syrian forces have committed crimes against humanity including executions, torture and rape. [Navi Pillay, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights]: "In my recommendation to the Security Council, I urged that they take action and refer Syria to the international Criminal Court because there was enough evidence pointing to the Commission of Crimes against Humanity. And I see now, from the very factual and comprehensive report delivered by the commission of Enquiry into Syria which will be discussed tomorrow before the Human Rights Council, that that is also a finding of the Commission." The United States, European Union and Arab League blacklisted Syrian VIPs and companies on Thursday, hoping to force an end to the eight-month military crackdown on pro-democracy protesters challenging Assad's rule. |
