One of the central tenets of the neo-revolutionist point of view is the assertion that the American people suffer under one of the most powerful and pernicious propaganda machines in the history of the world. This is because the same billionaires, bankers and corporations who own now own and control our government – also own and control […]
It’s common during election seasons to hear politicians ask us whether we are better off than we were under the previous administration… but you never hear anyone ask if we are more free? This is a bit odd, considering that freedom is supposed to be our nation’s most revered, preeminent principle. Liberty, along with life […]
Greece will forever be known as the place where democracy was born… and now, sadly, where it has died. After a national referendum in which 62% of the population voted against adopting the austerity measures being forced upon them by the European Commission (EC), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the European Central Bank (ECB), the […]
I suppose it was inevitable… I’m talking of course about the passage of the bill allowing the Trans Pacific Partnership trade bill to be Fast Tracked through congress. When they talk about it, the main stream media only call this “Obama’s Legacy Legislation”, as though this were something he, a Democrat President, desperately wanted to impose upon […]
Democrats. They are the ones who are supposed to support normal, working class people. But here are 13 Democratic Senators who all voted to fast track the Trans Pacific Partnership – essentially paving the way for this job killing, multi-national corporate power grab to be approved by congress, without giving the American people the chance […]
I’d like to take a moment to look at Hillary Clinton – the presumptive next President of the United States. Now calm down conservatives, I know you all have a million reasons why this woman will not – and should not – win the next election. But that’s not the point here. I’m not as concerned […]
“The price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilence.” – Thomas Jefferson – Many people become uncomfortable when anyone criticizes their country. Patriotism, to them, means accepting whatever your country does… period. “My country, right or wrong” is the best expression of this blinkered kind of patriotism. But such simple-minded, blind faith has had a down side, […]
This is a very tricky subject. It risks running afoul of the “Love it or Leave it” types. But it’s time we dispensed with that simple – and simple-minded – kind of patriotism and take a hard look at what the people running the show have done to this once magnificent country. I want to […]
A bit of disclosure here… I believe that certain powerful entities planned the 9/11 attacks as a “new Pearl Harbor”. That it was a “false flag” attack designed create the specter of a new existential threat to this country which would serve to justify their desired wars for global domination. Our government at it’s highest […]
As we face the beginning of the prolonged charade that is the presidential election season, it’s time once again to prepare ourselves for the tidal wave of bullshit otherwise known as campaign promises. Personally, I can’t believe we still participate in this farce we call elections. It’s bad enough that we have to choose our […]
