By Phil Rockstroh Picture from Serena Davi’s “Eternal Love.” On May 1, after a day of May Day activities on the streets and avenues of Manhattan, my wife and I and a troop of other OWS celebrants marched into Zuccotti Park to jubilant exhortations of “welcome home” from a throng of fellow occupiers. The next [...]
By Steven Jonas, MD, MPH (Crossposted with The Greanville Post) The sage Israeli commentator and activist Uri Avnery recently published an excellent analysis of the Israel/Iran situation on The Planetary Movement.

By Phil Rockstroh “When the poet stands at nadir the world must indeed be upside-down. If the poet can no longer speak for society, but only for himself, then we are at the last ditch.”– Excerpt from, The Time of the Assassins, a study of Rimbaud, by Henry Miller There is no reality-based argument denying [...]
By Phil Rockstroh Osama bin Laden is dead. And so is the U.S. republic. We had to destroy our freedoms in order to save them. What is left to save from the next rampaging dragon when the knights, sworn to kill the monster, destroy everything in their path in the pursuit of him? One killer [...]
