Partnered with NATO, America’s military/industrial/media collaborators misportray US wars as humanitarian, hiding their imperial purpose – state terrorism against millions, showing an utter disregard for the law, truth, humanity or justice.
CALLING ITSELF “THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY …
Discussing the lies and methods that have made Americans the most politically dumb people on earth, prisoners of an elaborate propaganda “Bubble” from which there is no escape except through a patient reexamination of some of their dearest myths.
Factory farms, fur farms, sport hunting, ecodestruction…the list is long. Trillions of animals suffer each year at the hands of man.
We try to shed light on the truth about these systems, esp. capitalism, which is accepted without question in the USA.
The CIA role in the world is not so much to protect the American people, as to protect the US plutocracy and its world associates.
Centrist liberals have given the true Left a bad name via their betrayals and namby-pamby “solutions” to the nation’s ills. Truth is, the center can’t cure radical crises.
I WAS BORN IN 1934 IN BOSTON, MA, raised in a modest middle income family, attended public schools, received a Harvard BA in 1956 and a Wharton MBA in 1960. After six years as a marketing research analyst, became part of a new small family business in 1967, remaining there until retiring in 1999. Have since devoted my time to progressive causes, extensive reading, and since summer 2005 writing on vital world and national topics, including war and peace, American imperialism, corporate dominance, political persecutions, and a range of other social, economic and political issues. In early 2007, began regular radio hosting, now The Progressive Radio News Hour on The Progressive Radio Network.

BY CHRIS HEDGES The Democrats and their liberal apologists are so oblivious to the profound personal and economic despair sweeping through this country that they think offering unemployed people the right to keep their unemployed children on their nonexistent health care policies is a step forward. They think that passing a jobs bill that will give tax credits to corporations is a rational response to an unemployment rate that is, in real terms, close to 20 percent. They think that making ordinary Americans, one in eight of whom depends on food stamps to eat, fork over trillions in taxpayer dollars to pay for the crimes of Wall Street and war is acceptable. IMAGE: Facile speechifying rightwing bimbos like Sarah Palin are the tip of the propaganda spear in the establishment’s arsenal to derail real change.

BY DAVID M. GREEN YOU GOTTA HAND IT to the agents of the regressive right for playing the weakest imaginable hand so well. I’m talking about the Lee Atwaters and Frank Luntzs of the world, who both understand human psychology (read fear) and are absolutely pitiless about employing it for purposes of assisting the rich and powerful in raping the rest of us. If you can get past the absolute amoral viciousness of these sociopaths, you have to admire their handiwork at some level. (Oh, wait a minute: correction. Lee Atwater actually did apologize for some of his crimes against humanity. Of course, it was on his death bed.) PHOTO: TIME magazine euphemistically called him “a warrior with words,” to be expected from a notorious corporate propaganda organ.
By Paul Craig Roberts MUSLIMS ARE NUMEROUS BUT POWERLESS. Divisions among Muslims, especially between Sunni and Shi’ites, have consigned the Muslim Middle East to almost a century of Western control. Muslims cannot even play together. The Islamic Solidarity Games, a regional version of the Olympics, which were to be held in April in Iran, have been cancelled because the Iranians and the Arabs cannot agree on whether to call the body of water that separates Iran from the Arabian Peninsula the Persian Gulf or the Arabian Gulf.
