Who’s afraid of the middle class? As housing values reach new lows the stock market is up 100 percent from the 2009 trough. Too bad over 30 percent of Americans have $0 in savings.

The methodical shrinking of the American middle class is difficult to witness.  What is even more troubling is this outcome was set in motion over a decade ago and little attention has been shed on what used to be a cornerstone of America’s success.  Systematic robbery is now part of the financial fabric of our country.  The fact that trillions of dollars in bailout money have flowed into the banking system yet little net effect has been reflected for the middle class is a testament to this deep capture.  If you would only watch the mainstream press you would think everything is okay.  Then again, we are talking about the megaphone of the financial system that failed to alert the country to the biggest credit bubble in our history. Why would they call any attention to a system they developed and exploited and ultimately exited with a taxpayer golden parachute?  The really unsettling aspect of this financial crisis is that the trajectory is only accelerating in terms of stripping the middle class bare.

U.S. Veteran Faces Legal Action for Flying American Flag

A retired U.S. Army chaplain is being threatened with legal action for flying the American flag in his front yard, the Daily Mail reports.

Fred Quigley, 77, of Macedonia, Ohio, a minister who served active duty during the Vietnam War, has been told by the homeowners’ association that his flag violates the property rules.

The association has offered to fly the flag at the entrance of the building development, but Quigley refused the offer.

“If they can dictate to me that I cannot fly an American flag in America, then, to me, the country is lost,” Mr. Quigley told the paper.

 Quigley's lawyer Gerald Patronite said the association has no right to stop his client.

According to the Mail, Joseph Migliorini, the representative for the homeowners’ association and former mayor of Macedonia, which is between Cleveland and Akron, said he plans to take Quigley to court if the flagpole is not removed.

Migliorini said: “We just want the rules and regulations followed. “

Members of the local American Legion post joined Quigley last week in a flag-raising ceremony in protest at the association's policy.

Quigley said that he's been given until Monday to remove the flag, or legal action will be taken by the association.

"As a minister and a chaplain, I have fought for people," Quigley said. "Now I fight for myself."

Why is there a Media Blackout on Nuclear Incident at Fort Calhoun in Nebraska?

Global Research
June 23, 2011
Since flooding began on June 6th, there has been a disturbingly low level of media attention given to the crisis at the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Facility near Omaha, Nebraska. But evidence strongly suggests that something very serious has in fact happened there.

On June 7th, there was a fire reported at Fort Calhoun.  The official story is that the fire was in an electrical switchgear room at the plant.  The apparently facility lost power to a pump that cools the spent fuel rod pool, allegedly for a duration of approximately 90 minutes.

House Rejects Resolution Authorizing U.S. Mission in Libya

June 24, 2011

The House on Friday resoundingly rejected a measure that would have authorized the United States’ mission in Libya, with 70 Democrats deserting President Obama on an issue that has divided their party and became a major Constitutional flash point between Congress and the White House.

The resolution — one of two the House took up Friday — failed 295 to 123, with an overwhelming majority of Republicans voting no. Only eight Republicans supported the measure, which was based on a Senate measure introduced Tuesday by Senators John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, and John McCain, Republican of Arizona, that has yet to be voted on.

As debt talks break down, clock ticks toward crisis

By John W. Schoen

Senior producer

June 24, 2011

The breakdown of talks between the White House and congressional Republicans has intensified worries about the financial bomb known as the national debt. Without serious budget reforms, that bomb will almost certainly explode — with widespread collateral damage to the U.S. economy and the global financial system.

But no one can say for certain just when the bomb will go off. The fuse may be longer than many people assume.

Debt-reduction talks came grinding to a halt Thursday when Republicans pulled out, blaming Democrats for demanding tax increases rather than accepting cuts in federal services.

The clock is ticking. The Congressional Budget Office said this week that the national debt is on pace to equal the gross domestic product within a decade, and warned of a European-style crisis unless Congress moves to realign the budget.

“There comes a point when you have a reckoning,” said former New York Gov. George Pataki, a Republican who chairs No American Debt. “You see that in Greece. If we don't get our house together we'll be the next country to deal with that.”
