So we’re finally almost there. Decision Time 2016. The lines have been clearly drawn. On the right we have Trump – the unhinged, egomaniacal, sexist, racist, pumped-up contractor-cum-reality-TV-host. Also on the other right… we have Hillary Clinton – heir apparent to the Establishment’s 30+ year reign, protector of the American Empire and faithful servant to the its corporate, […]
The corrupt political machine which controls our elections has done an amazing job this season. It has masterfully executed its pre-election plan to have Hillary Clinton become President of the United States – this in spite of the unprecedented and unanticipated challenges posed by the Sanders and Trump campaigns. But in spite of all of the Bernie and Trump drama… it was […]
So it’s official… the 2016 Presidential Election will be a choice between Hillary Clinton & Donald Trump… or, as I like to call it, the lesser of two weevils. One’s an ethically challenged apparatchik of the neofascist regime that has destroyed our country, while the other is narcissistic political neophyte with a god complex. As Trevor Noah, […]
I grew up in the sixties. In the beginning of that decade, the “future” was a fantastically hopeful concept. It contained the promise of amazing technological advances; a push-button world of flying cars and robot servants, where automation would save us from the drudgery of work, where science would overcome the scourge of disease and […]
Most of us raised in this country have been subjected to a significant amount of behavioral conditioning… especially when it comes to what is out Patriotic Duty as Americans. It begins in kindergarten, when we are taught to Pledge Allegiance to the flag – well before we have any idea what the flag represents, or […]
Quick Survey: What do you think are the most serious problems facing out country today? Well, if you’re a Republican politician, your answer will be Terrorism, Immigration, and Taxes (too high). Of course, if you’re a Democrat politician your answer will be Inequality, Unemployment, Education and Taxes (too low, for the rich). But amidst all […]
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 […]
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 […]
