Repulsive heroes to the rescue…? Is it a coincidence that Batman and Iron Man have so much in common? Like Batman, aka “The Dark Knight“, and “The World’s Greatest Detective“, and whose true identity is that of Bruce Wayne, an American millionaire (later billionaire) playboy, industrialist, and philanthropist, Iron Man’s Tony Stark is also scion to an [...]
CURRENTLY WRITING a twice-weekly Washington Post column, Broder is called America’s “dean” of political journalists, having covered every presidential campaign since Kennedy-Nixon. At age 81 (ironically born September 11, 1929), his bio lists an array of awards as well as accolades like: – “Washington’s most highly regarded columnist; – Best Reporter; – Hardest Working; – [...]
The GOP’s gains represent a predictable rebalancing between presidential elections, rather than an ideological shift in the electorate. _______________________________________ November 3, 2010 | By Joshua Holland | [print_link] _______________________________________ Election 2010 was, by any measure, the “bloodbath” the forecasters predicted. It was a terrible loss for the Democratic Party, but what about the progressive movement? [...]
The American people have spoken. They “rightly” repudiated failed leaders, corporate cronies and arrogant centralized, top-down politics. _____________________________ By Rob Kall | November 3, 2010 [print_link] Let’s start with President Obama. He betrayed voters before his inauguration, appointing a team of Clintonites and banksters. That set the tone, sent a signal that made it clear he [...]
Perhaps the November elections will not be as harsh on the Democrats as the polls predict, but the Dems’ behavior in power has decreased their popularity dramatically. We know, of course, that the Democrats did not have a solid majority in Congress, given Rahm Emanuel’s 2006 decision to back the most conservative candidates in the Democratic [...]
Animal Liberation, Human Liberation and the Future of the Left By STEVEN BEST ________________ “Animal liberation may sound more like a parody of other liberation movements than a serious objective.” Peter Singer “Animal liberation is the ultimate freedom movement, the `final frontier.’” —Robin Webb, British ALF Press Officer __________________ IT SEEMS LOST on most of the [...]
SINCE THE 1980s, neoliberalism dominated US politics under Democrats and Republicans. Bush I continued Reagan policies. Clinton hardened them. Bush II much more, and Obama so far matched Star Trek, going where no administration went before. Count the ways. They’re manyfold, favoring business over popular interests, yet he’s accused of being socialist. __________________________ By Stephen [...]
THE AMERICAN LEFT IS A PHANTOM. It is conjured up by the right wing to tag Barack Obama as a socialist and used by the liberal class to justify its complacency and lethargy. It diverts attention from corporate power. It perpetuates the myth of a democratic system that is influenced by the votes of citizens, [...]

"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
