Americans Have Lost Their Country

By Paul Craig Roberts

The Bush-Cheney regime is America’s first neoconservative
regime. In a few short years, the regime has destroyed the
Bill of Rights, the separation of powers, the Geneva Conventions,
and the remains of America’s moral reputation along with the
infrastructures of two Muslim countries and countless
thousands of Islamic civilians. Plans have been prepared,
and forces moved into place, for an attack on a third Islamic
country, Iran, and perhaps Syria and Hezbollah in Lebanon
as well. Continue

"No Greater Enemy": An interview with Paul Craig Roberts:

"I am an honest and forthright critic of the Bush-Cheney
regime. Like many Americans, I welcomed the election of
Bush as an antidote to Clinton's gratuitous bombing of Serbia
and lying to the American people. Bush criticized the idea of
America as world policeman and vowed to abandon that role."

“Nemesis: The Last Days of the American Republic"

An interview with Chalmers Johnson

In his new book, 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

Analyzing the pandemic of global American Hatred

By Jessica Long

While Americans have no problem in attempting to run
the world, we have little experience in how it works. It is
on this ignorance that we justify our wars, trade relations
and political action in a rapidly globalizing world. Aside from
being fat and loud, the dangers of the American stereotype
lie in the fact we are viewed as being simultaneously globally
ignorant and culturally egocentric. This is our downfall. .
