Crusade of Surge and Siege
Homeland Born and Bred
By Manuel Valenzuela
What patriots used to call the United States of
America, now named, simply, and appropriately,
Amerika, a place where corporations enjoy more
rights and protections than the People, where
corporations – through their products and
policies – help kill hundreds of thousands of
human beings every year in the name of profit
over people. Continue

Paying Insurgents Not to Fight

It is impossible to keep up with all the Bush regime’s

Slouching Towards Petroeurostan
By Pepe Escobar
It was a discreet, almost hush hush affair, but after
almost three years of stalling and endless delays, it

a potentially shattering blow to US dollar hegemony.

The Dumbing Of America
Call Me a Snob, but Really, We're a Nation of Dunces
By Susan Jacoby
This is the last subject that any candidate would
dare raise on the long and winding road to the
White House. It is almost impossible to talk about
the manner in which public ignorance contributes
to grave national problems without being labeled
an "elitist," one of the most powerful pejoratives
that can be applied to anyone aspiring to high office.

"WAR MADE EASY": OR IS THAT SIMPLE; LIKE IN, "MAKING WAR FOR DUMBBELLS." TAKE A LOOK INSIDE, YOU JUST MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING: THE TRUTH, UNFORTUNATELY.
QUOTE:
War Made Easy
Video
War Made Easy exposes a 50-year pattern of government
deception and media spin that has dragged the United
States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq.
Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes
remarkable archival footage of official distortion and
exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing
in stunning detail how the American news media have
uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of
successive presidential administrations. Click to view

Bernanke's State of the Economy Speech:
"You are all Dead Ducks"
By Mike Whitney
Even veteran Fed-watchers were caught off-guard
by Chairman Bernanke's performance before the
Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. Bernanke
was expected to make routine comments on the
state of the economy but, instead, delivered a 45
minute sermon detailing the afflictions of the
foundering financial system. The Senate chamber
was stone-silent throughout. The gravity of the
situation is finally beginning to sink in. Continue

The Terrorists Still at Ground Zero
By Alexander Cockburn
On January 10 Moody's, in concert with the other
main bond rating firm, Standard and Poor's,
gave the United States its top AAA credit rating.
The terrorist blackmail threat came in the form
of a demand by Moody's that the U.S. government
"reform" Social Security and Medicare: "In the
very long term, the rating could come under
pressure if reform of Medicare and Social Security
is not carried out as these two programs are the
largest threats to the long-term financial health

effectively and responsibly carry out its duty to
investigate how and why our nation went to war
with Iraq is not only incomprehensible, but
reprehensible. Continue
