Business as Usual

The United States government has always provided numerous enemies to engender fear in the masses. It is the usual assortment of minor to major patsies and scapegoats: communism, Osama, Islamic Fascists, terrorism. Enemies may be defined as individuals or groups that deprive others of life and liberty by military force, stealth manipulation or by the usurpation of power. Given this definition, the most formidable of all our adversaries is none other than our own government. For decades government officials have usurped power... Read article

Leaving Earth

Like flies on a window, man is driven to escape: seeing a sea, he needs to sail it; a sky, he’s got to fly. His greatest drive is neither sex nor sustenance but curiosity — this insatiable need to know. The heavens taught him time, the stars navigation, the rest was divvied between science and religion, and in terribly short order man burst into outer space and began searching other planets, almost within a single tic mark on the scrolling timeline of species. Consider now the convergence of two unlikely events:... Read article

America the Pitiful

Calling our form of government a democratic republic does not make it so. We are what we do. By now it should be abundantly clear that most Americans are incapable of recognizing real democracy — because they have never been subjected to one. Perhaps no culture on earth is more materialistic or delusional than ours’. Compared to much of the world, America’s behavior is tragically pathological. We react to planetary warming by driving metal gas guzzling monstrosities, rather than enacting conservation measures.... Read article

Sinning By Silence

How Churches Aid and Abet Tyranny I did not go to church last Sunday. It is not that I have stopped going to church. It is not that my church has suddenly become a “synagogue of Satan.” Nor have I turned my back on God. I am just so frustrated with what goes on in churches that I decided to take last Sunday off. My decision not to attend church was prompted by an e-mail a friend sent me a few days before. The subject line read “How to handle the DaVinci Code movie.” The body of the e-mail urged Christians... Read article

Video: How the US Learned to Love the Bomb

How do you feel about a nuclear weapon that could be launched from the back of a jeep? The slightly bizarre idea of ‘user-friendly’ nuclear weapons. On the whole score of proliferation we’re always hearing plenty about the dangers posed by the Irans and North Koreas of this world but, as we’re about to see, while all that has been going on the US itself has been quietly beavering away on a program aimed at completely upgrading its nuclear arsenal, including the development of tactical weapons –... Read article

Video: Shows Bush warned before Katrina

President George W Bush was warned a day before Hurricane Katrina struck that the storm could swamp New Orleans, it was claimed last night. Leaked video footage and transcripts of top-level briefings in the six days before the storm showed federal officials telling Mr Bush the storm could breach levees and overwhelm rescuers. He did not ask a single question in the final briefing on Aug 29 last year, the day before Katrina made landfall. But he told officials in Louisiana: “We are fully prepared”. The footage,... Read article

Shining Light into the Abyss

If one is to understand the apparently incongruent actions of the U.S. government it is imperative to view events in the proper context. Too many of us are muddled in trying to explain U.S. policy from the perspective that we are a democratic republic undivided by socioeconomic class. This is not surprising. After all, this is what we were taught from earliest childhood; and the belief has been reinforced all the way to the grave. However, the absurdity of this assertion should be obvious to any student of history. The hypocrisy... Read article

Drug Smuggling Made Easy

Why GWB wants to sell America’s ports to his friends? Profits from the heroin trade are astronomical. Those of us who work for a living just to keep on top of paying the rent can’t even grasp the amount of money involved. It’s a lot. In 2004, Prof. Michel Chossudovsky of the University of Ottawa stated that, “The Afghan trade in opiates constitutes a large share of the worldwide annual turnover of narcotics, which was estimated by the United Nations to be of the order of $400-500 billion.”... Read article
