The Dollar's Full-System Meltdown

By Mike Whitney

Everyone in Washington already knew that doomsday
was approaching. That’s the way the system was designed
from the very beginning. It’s all part of the madcap scheme
to “starve the beast” and transfer the nation’s wealth to
a handful of western plutocrats. Continue

Introduction To U.S. History Uncensored :

I have been and will continue to be accused of hating America
and lacking gratitude for the benefits of being born in this
nation. To this accusation I can only call on the wisdom
of the great American writer Mark Twain who stated
that “We should be loyal to our country at all times
and to our government when it deserves it.”

QUOTE:

The real problem is that it is illegal for one country to invade another country:

As the Nuremberg Tribunal concluded after World War II:
"War is essentially an evil thing ... To initiate a war of
aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime, it
is the supreme international crime differing only from other
war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated
evil of the whole."

Noam Chomsky: US threats to Venezuela:

[T]he US has had two major weapons for controlling
Latin America for a long time. One of them is economic
controls, the other is military force. They have both
been used continually. Both of them are weakening
and it’s a very serious problem for US planners

Bush The Cheerleader

By Ray McGovern

When President George W. Bush was asked at his
news conference last Wednesday whether we are
winning in Iraq, he answered, "Absolutely; we're
winning." The disingenuousness was almost enough
to provoke sympathy for the beleaguered president
as he lived through another bad week with further
diminished credibility. Continue

QUOTE:

Robert Scheer: A truly scary Iraq scenario :

The astounding arrogance that underwrites Bush's
smug determination to keep killing and maiming
tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of people is
no different than that of Presidents Lyndon Johnson
and Richard Nixon. Both knew the war was a failure,
but determined to "stay the course" for a decade
out of a misguided belief in protecting an image
of American infallibility that was paired with
shameful political motives.

The Spoils of Corruption

By Charles Sullivan

The mainstream media, like organized religion, is
used to program public perceptions-to steer us
away from truth and to perpetuate fairy tales
that extol the virtues of bribery, violence, and
greed. It makes useful idiots of those who cannot
think for themselves and persuades them to act
like fools in the eyes of the world. Continue

The Enlightenment of Resistance

By Manuel Valenzuela

Resistance will begin when the many begin the healing
of civilization and the planet, when a massive movement
commences to purge warmongering leadership from
our midst, when a tidal wave of humanity floods the
concrete jungles and steel canyons we live in, marching
to the drumbeats of peace, non-violence and universal
harmony. That is Revolution at the dawn of the 21st
century. Continue
