NEARLY 15 MILLION PEOPLE ARE OFFICIALLY COUNTED AS UNEMPLOYED in the United States, and more than 6 million of these have been unemployed for more than 26 weeks. Another 11 million are the “hidden” unemployed: jobless workers who have given up looking for work and part-time workers who want full-time jobs. Unemployment has especially affected [...]
For most Americans, the defense of “Americanism” is indistinguishable from the defense of capitalism, aka “the free enterprise system”—its favorite euphemism.

By Case Wagenvoord [print_link] “Narrative” is one of those buzz words that bounces around the Progressive blogosphere. It is usually uttered wishfully as in, “Progressives need to develop a coherent narrative on (fill in the blank).” Tragically, the wish for a narrative rarely produces one, as Progressives continue to play fallback in the face of [...]
Eric Alterman just published a massive essay in The Nation, entitled “Kabuki Democracy: Why a Progressive Presidency Is Impossible, for Now” I don’t recommend it. __________________________________________ DAVID MICHAEL GREEN [print_link] __________________________________________ First, it’s damn hard to find a thesis in this extended disquisition.

“Now everyone needs to be an activist!” If you think the Hydrogen Bomb is bad, wait until you hear about the Methane Bomb UNFETTERED INDUSTRIALISM fueled by the sociopathic values of capitalism has managed to mortally wound the biosphere in less than 300 years, a mere instant in geologic time scales. Now, as laid out [...]
Short-term thinking, a global economy based on profit, and massive political corruption are preventing the world from adopting the urgent measures it needs to escape suicide. By Robert S. Becker | [print_link] To echo A.J. Toynbee, civilizations fall not by getting murdered by outsiders: they tend to commit suicide first. Judging by our example, so [...]
The US opposition to the ICC makes sense. Why should the world’s pre-eminent criminal favor a tribunal where its crimes can be judged? David M. Green | [print_link] God (if only there was one) only knows where the story of human development is leading next. We live in time unlike any other in history, in [...]

"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
