by Tom Burghardt Antifascist Calling… As the Obama administration expands Bush-era surveillance programs over the nation’s electronic communications’ infrastructure, recent media reports provide tantalizing hints of Pentagon plans for waging cyberwar against imperialism’s geopolitical rivals.

By Stephen Lendman Wikipedia says US presidential doctrines state “key goals, attitudes, or stances for United States foreign affairs.” Except for James Monroe in 1823 asserting a declaration of regional dominance, later ones reflected Cold War and imperial politics since Harry Truman. On March 29, eight New York Times contributors asked “Is There an Obama [...]
By Ramzy Baroud – Gaza A “Hamas commander” drove a beat-up gray van in northern Gaza and theatrically spoke on his walkie-talkie as I sat in the passenger seat. The van was almost barren, save for the most basic equipment propelling it to move forward over the bumpy roads of an overcrowded refugee camp.
By Stephen Lendman In the 1960s, economist Arthur Okum began calculated America’s Misery Index by adding the unemployment and inflation rates for a sense of public pain or lack of it in good times.

By Peter Schwarz. Republished from WSWS. Following the collapse of the Stalinist regimes in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union two decades ago, the media relentlessly proclaimed the “failure of socialism.” The economic difficulties that these societies faced prior to their collapse were cited as evidence that a rationally planned economy is impossible on the [...]

"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
