By BLACK AGENDA REPORT (BAR) editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley (NOTE: THIS IS AN ORIGINAL POST with BAR comments) Why did Barack Obama save Joe Lieberman from being stripped of his top committee chairmanship? The short answer is, the two men “are equally cynical.” The most rightwing Democrat in the Senate actively campaigned for [...]
BY SIMON CRITCHLEY | [print_link] Originally at ADBUSTERS.ORG What’s Left After Obama?

It will have hugely beneficial consequences for how the United States is seen throughout the world. His victory was [...]

–Making the best of a the slow apocalypse By Joe Bageant | [print_link] Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber”, like Sarah Palin herself, was chosen cynically by the Republican Party to exploit the huge political confusion afflicting the social conservatives in the back country and white working class. We just concluded an election [...]
In the public imagination George W. Bush (and his malignant sidekick, Dick Cheney) represent the height of political criminality and “abuse of power.” His regime is therefore excoriated as an aberration to an otherwise healthy if not exemplary system of governance and economic organization. Bush’s crimes, however, are not an aberration but a natural and [...]
Dateline: November 17, 2008 | [print_link] This Week | ExtremeInequality.org Over a million people picked up a New York Times last Wednesday and discovered, to their surprise, that Congress had just enacted a “maximum wage” that will “limit top salaries to fifteen times the minimum wage.” The front page also amazingly proclaimed the end of hostilities [...]
By David Irving | [print_link] 11/15/08 In areas like the Southern Tier and Catskill region of New York, hunting publications, editorials in local papers, and hunting advocates herald the arrival of each hunting season with fanfares, whistles, and bells. They effectively bulldoze any would-be opposition, and it is widely assumed that almost everyone either hunts [...]

"Most spy thrillers are written from the assumption that we're the good guys who are under attack by bad guys so evil that we're justified in bending the rules to save ourselves from them. Lies, deceit, sabotage, even murder are sometimes necessary to defend peace, justice, and the American Way against (pick one, depending on when the book was written) Nazis, communists, or terrorists...Gaither Stewart offers no such patriotic platitudes in The Trojan Spy. The bad guys turn out to be us -- the US and its Western allies. Our intelligence agencies are revealed to be working in a symbiotic relationship with the terrorists, using the attacks to provide justification for wars of geopolitical and economic conquest." —William Hathaway, former Special Forces, author, A Radical Peace
