by Tom Burghardt Antifascist Calling… The partisan furor surrounding the collapse of solar equipment manufacturer Solyndra, a Fremont, Calif. firm which secured a $535 million government loan from the Energy Department, underscores congressional hypocrisy when it comes to widespread cronyism and corruption.
By Kristen Gwynne, AlterNet Tar Sands Criminal Imbecility to Sweep Scross the US. Obama already gave his approval. Are these protests too little too late? And why does the Obama betrayal fail to surprise us? What tactics do we need to deploy?—Eds Actress Daryl Hannah (Bladerunner, Kill Bill, Splash) and other environmental activists were arrested [...]
by Tom Burghardt Antifascist Calling… We live in an age where insider deals, conflicts of interest, revolving doors between “regulators” and the “regulated” (lubricated with oceans of cash) accompanies the generalized looting of social wealth by deviant capitalist elites.
by Tom Burghardt Antifascist Calling… Forget your rights. As corporate overlords position themselves to seize what little remains of a tattered social net (adieu Medicare and Medicaid!

by Tom Burghardt Antifascist Calling… While the Justice Department is criminally inept, or worse, when it comes to prosecuting corporate thieves who looted, and continue to loot, trillions of dollars as capitalism’s economic crisis accelerates, they are extremely adept at waging war on dissent.

"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.
