Audio: “Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic”

CIA analyst, distinguished scholar, and best-selling author Chalmers Johnson argues that US military and economic overreach may actually lead to the nation’s collapse as a constitutional republic. It’s the last volume in his Blowback trilogy, following the best-selling “Blowback” and “The Sorrows of Empire.” In those two, Johnson argued American clandestine and military activity has led to un-intended, but direct... Read article

American Plutocracy and the war on Workers

During the height of chattel slavery in America, the plantation owners did not allow their slaves to be educated. An educated slave, they knew, was a dangerous slave who posed a threat to the status quo. Knowledge is power in the hands of an oppressed people. The ruling clique has always found mass ignorance to their benefit. An ignorant public, they know, is an easily deceived and easily controlled citizenry created to do the bidding of Plutocratic rulers. Thus we have the commercial media, the church, and the public education... Read article

The Peril of Doing Nothing

After November’s election, the people were feeling optimistic, having elected a Democratic majority in the House and more than an even balance in the Senate. Speaker Pelosi announced her “first 100 hours” strategy and we were ready to watch the reform take place. However, the euphoria was short-lived as the House passed first one “non-binding resolution” only to have it squelched by the Republican bloc in the Senate. The Democrats, unlike the Dixie Chicks, are still convinced that they need... Read article

Hazard pay: Comparing a stateside CEO’s job description with a Marine’s in Iraq

Let’s review the obvious once again. George Bush’s spectacular boondoggle — artfully known as The War on Iraq — has gone on longer than World War II, has cost MORE than World War II and is totally disorganized, unplanned, and unfair. And, even more important, Bush is losing this war. Eisenhower never did that. Of course there are Bush’s glaringly obvious mistakes such as losing 363 tons of $100 bills, killing 665,000 Iraqi citizens in cold blood, getting caught red-handed with forged... Read article

The Terrorist Threat Is Grossly Overblown

In response to a recent piece I wrote regarding the decline and fall of the American Empire, CL writes: “Commentators keep complaining about our ‘empire’. I don’t pay too much attention to the word empire, but rather watch what is actually happening. I think it’s very appropriate we fight vigorously against Islam today just as we did the evil that came from Germany and Japan in the past. There is really no difference in these expressions of evil — different names I guess, but that’s about all.” I... Read article

Why I Can’t Vote For Hillary

As a life-long feminist, it would be the fulfillment of all my dreams to have a woman as President of the United States in my lifetime. However, I find that the position is too important to waste my precious vote in such an endeavor if it were not the right person for the job. I am not convinced that Hillary Rodham Clinton is that person and, for the good of my beloved country, I cannot vote for her, and I will be happy to tell you why. In 1992, I had become disillusioned with what the Republican Party had become under the... Read article

Show down in Crawford, Texas: When the Truth Triumphed

W. Leon Smith was a believer. When he started his newspaper The Lone Star Iconoclast in Crawford in 2000 he believed that George Bush would be an asset to the community and the country. Time and events have changed that. When Bush was inaugurated in 2001, America had a budget surplus. But by September of 2004, Americans faced the worst budget deficit in history, were mired in war, seeing its sons and daughters returned home maimed or in coffins, and facing a rapidly deteriorating economy. With his co-editors, Smith sat down... Read article

Courting the Supremes

Justice Roberts’ big chance to go down in history one way or the other… I attended a big fancy dinner last night — one of those lavish affairs at the local country club where everyone is wearing a suit — except for me. And they served salmon! And baby potatoes with wine sauce. And raspberries with crème brûlée! But I digress. What was the occasion? One of our most prominent and respected judges was retiring and all the best legal minds in the area were there to send him off. And me too. ... Read article

The US Propaganda Campaign Against Iran

The US government has stepped up its rhetoric against Iran this week with a presentation held in Baghdad designed to support the claim that, as worded by President Bush last month, “Iran is providing material support for attacks on American troops.”[1] US officials said that weapons were being smuggled into Iraq by an elite unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard known as the Quds Force on orders “coming from the highest levels of the Iranian government.”[2] But, as the Washington Post observed, “The officials... Read article

Desperation in Pine Ridge
