A Defining Issue for the 2016 Elections Will Be the Trans Pacific Pact (TPP)

A Defining Issue for the 2016 Elections Will Be the Trans Pacific Pact (TPP) Posted: 05 Oct 2015 10:57 AM PDT By Doug Porter  The United States and 11 other Pacific Rim nations have agreed to the largest regional trade accord in history, one promising to set international commerce standards affecting 40% percent of the world’s economy. The deal culminates years of negotiations setting up mechanics for a global economy as the basis for future prosperity. These negotiations never involved questioning the premise of neo-liberal policies as the foundation for economic development in the years ahead. In a nutshell, this means “marketplace” will be the final arbiter in the global economy. The rules of the economic game, as laid out in previous trade-pacts, are seen by the left as driving forces in the widening of economic inequality. This, along with parochial and nationalist concerns on the right, sets up the Trans Pacific Pact (TPP) as a defining political battle as the US heads into an election year.   [Read more...]

shared from San Diego Free Press Do All “Black Lives Matter?” Posted: 05 Oct 2015 05:46 AM PDT By Ernie McCray Damn. One day I'm writing a piece concerning discrimination against lesbians and gays, making a pitch for us to let the now proverbial Adam and Steve or Alanna and Eve feel at ease in just being themselves. And the very next day, to my dismay, I hear of a little 5-year-old black girl who is kicked out of a school, the Mt. Erie Christian Academy, because she has two moms. Whoa, right back where I started from. Another story about "beliefs." Christian beliefs. But I just have to say I can't see Christ turning some child away from a school with some lame excuse like "The Bible says homosexuality is a sin," making that little girl, in essence, a victim of her mothers' sins.   [Read more...]

US Bombing of Afghan Hospital Called a War Crime by Doctors Without Borders Posted: 05 Oct 2015 05:43 AM PDT By Nadia Prupis / Common Dreams Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) on Sunday called the U.S. military's Saturday airstrike on its charity hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan a war crime and announced it was withdrawing all staff from the beleaguered area. MSF said 22 people, including medical workers and patients, were killed in the bombing, which occurred around 2:10 am local time and reportedly lasted for at least half an hour. "Under the clear presumption that a war crime has been committed, MSF demands that a full and transparent investigation into the event be conducted by an independent international body," said MSF general director Christopher Stokes in a statement on Sunday.   [Read more...]

San Diego Democrats to Progressive Base: We’re Just Not That Into You Posted: 05 Oct 2015 05:41 AM PDT By Jim Miller Last week over at the San Diego Union-Tribune, Logan Jenkins had some fun pondering what might happen if the “Dems go dark” this upcoming mayoral election.   His conclusion?  It would push Faulconer to the top-tier of Republican candidates for Governor in 2018: And, it should be deduced, a cakewalk sweetens Faulconer’s prospects in Sacramento. In 18 months or so, Republicans will be looking for a governor candidate who can appeal to Latinos and independents as well as the conservative base. The Democrats have a long electable bench. Republicans? Not so much. If Faulconer is re-elected by a landslide in a major Democratic city, he’s going to rise to the top tier of the GOP’s A+ list.   [Read more...]
