“Bobby” Jindal, the Indian American Governor of Louisiana, and certifiable reactionary by any standard, is now, along with Eric Cantor, making the right noises to emerge as one of the GOP’s future leaders. The American South and its backward constituencies continues to be the albatross around the neck of American democracy, a democracy substantially eviscerated [...]
Dateline: Global Research, February 23, 2009 By Tom Burghardt | [print_link] Antifascist Calling On February 18, President Barack Obama ordered 17,000 additional U.S. troops deployed to Afghanistan.

Currently, some 36,000 U.S. troops are in Afghanistan, including some 6,000 sent [...]
The language of deception By Prof. Michael Hudson \\ Global Research, February 23, 2009 || [print_link] \\ GlobalResearch.ca Banking shares began to plunge Friday morning after Senator Dodd, the Connecticut Democrat who is chairman of the banking committee, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television that he was concerned the government might end [...]
Timothy Geithner: Can the leopard change its spots? \\ [print_link] P.T. Barnum may have coined the phrase “There’s a sucker born every minute,” but Wall Street titans have leveraged that principle and banked it in the Caymans. And don’t think that the recent stimulus package provision aimed at reining in CEO compensation is going to [...]
Iraqi dead in one of Baghdad’s local morgues. The US invasion has caused the death of over one million people, a Nuremberg-class crime by any standard. Yet the new Obama administration shows no taste for enforcing US formal commitments to international law proscribing such criminal conduct, nor a determination to stop imperial wars. Dateline: 18 [...]
[print_link] On the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange scumbag CNBC reporter Rick Santelli shouts at the top of his lungs the true ethos of America: “Let the winners take all, and to hell with the “losers”! It’s a fair bet that, given his credentials, and in classic upsidedown think, Santelli would loudly protest his Christian [...]
“Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.” –Thomas Jefferson Richard Cook’s new book, We Hold These Truth: The Hope of Monetary Reform is a book for people who want to understand the current crisis without getting bogged down in hand-wringing and negativity.

"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
