By Rowan Wolf Mic Check! There is a seemingly constant mantra from the corporate media propaganda machine, and now from some avowed “progressives” (such as Maddow, Harris-Perry, and Rhodes), that the Occupy Movement needs to focus its demands; make clear political policy statements; and form a “recognizable” organizational structure. Rachel Maddow had a conversation with [...]
By Rowan Wolf Two years ago I penned this piece and it is as pertinent now as it was then. Particularly in the context of what appears to be a global uprising against the concentration of power that is sinking the planet. So here is a republication of this piece that was originally published October [...]
By Stephen Lendman Oakland – closed encampment. Photo courtesy of Politicology On November 14, the Northern California ACLU and National Lawyers Guild (NLG) sued the Oakland Police Department (OPD) in federal court for “egregious constitutional violations” against Occupy Oakland protesters.
By Ramzy Baroud Syrians continue to be victimized, not only in violent clashes with the Syrian military, but also by regional and international players with various agendas. Protests in Syria began on January 26, and a more inclusive uprising was set in motion on March 15. The initial demand was for serious political reforms, but [...]
By Rowan Wolf If you watch DemocracyNow! or read ThinkProgress then you have likely seen the story of Makana speaking out at the APEC meeting. Makana, a Hawaiian musician (and activist) who had been tapped to do a background music dinner gig for the heads of state present at the APEC meeting (President Obama included). [...]
By Phil Rockstroh For days now, we have endured demonstrably false propaganda that the fallen soldiers of U.S. wars sacrificed their lives for “our freedoms.” Yet, as that noxious nonsense still lingers in the air, militarized police have invaded OWS sites in numerous cities, including Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, and, in the boilerplate description [...]
By Rowan Wolf I want to say that this morning I am proud to be a Portlander. Yesterday, Occupy Portland was supposed to be moved out of the encampments in Chapman Park and Lownsdale Square. Many people left (I imagine that many of those were the homeless and street kids who had moved into 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
