The Black Death of Financial Collapse
By James Cumes
The financial and economic crisis now upon us is by
far the most menacing of the past century - even
more so than the Great Depression of the 1930s.
It is not just a "subprime" crisis; it is systemic -
affecting the entire financial system. Continue

Petraeus Points To War With Iran
By Patrick J. Buchanan
The neocons may yet get their war on Iran. Ever
since President Nouri al-Maliki ordered the attacks
in Basra on the Mahdi Army, Gen. David Petraeus
has been laying the predicate for U.S. air strikes on
Iran and a wider war in the Middle East. Continue

Why Americans Are Bitter
By Mary Pitt
We lose our jobs, we lose our homes, we lose our sons
in the war without end, and now many of us are losing
our tempers! Some are old enough to remember the
miseries of the Great Depression and we feel another
one coming on as history is repeating itself. Continue

What's Fear Got To Do With It?
By Carolyn Baker
The world we wanted to have is not within our reach;
the world we deeply dread is upon us. Meanwhile, the
world we have known, ugly as it may be but nevertheless
familiar, is vanishing before our eyes. Continue

Financial Collapse Will End The Occupation
And it won't be "A time of our choosing"
By Mike Whitney
The Iraq War signals the end of US interventionism for
at least a generation; maybe longer. The ideological
foundation for the war (preemption/regime change)
has been exposed as a baseless justification for unprovoked
aggression. Someone will have to be held accountable.

The Coming War with Iran: It's About the Oil, Stupid
By Joe Lauria
World civilization is based on oil. The world is running out
of oil. The oil companies and governments are not telling
the truth about how close we are to the end. Dick Cheney
knew about peak oil back in 1999 when he spoke to the
London Petroleum Institute as Halliburton CEO. Continue

The Martial Law Act of 2006
By James Bovard
Martial law is perhaps the ultimate stomping of freedom.
And yet, on September 30, 2006, Congress passed a
provision in a 591-page bill that will make it easy for
President Bush to impose martial law in response to a
terrorist “incident.” It also empowers him to effectively
declare martial law in response to what he or other federal
officials label a shortfall of “public order” – whatever
that means. Continue

Our Debt to Jimmy Carter
By Haaretz Editorial
Ehud Olmert, who has not managed to achieve any

is a signatory to the peace agreement with Egypt.

The Venezuelan president’s meeting with members of the

some told me that I shouldn’t leave, that I shouldn’t accept

Their idea was that I had become mythological, and I said

Obama, Bitterness, Meet the Press, and the Old Politics
By Robert Reich
We’re heading into the worst economic crisis in a half

Large numbers of people in Pennsylvania and across

and the situation is likely to grow worse. Continue

The Man Who Would Be Bush
By Robert Scheer
Are Americans unusually stupid or is it something our
President put in the water? As millions surrender their
homes and sacrifice other standards of our nation's
economic and political reputation to the caprice of the
Bush-Cheney imperium, a majority of voters tell pollsters
that they might vote for a candidate who promises
more of the same. Continue

Bailout Bonanza
By Ralph Nader
Is there a larger, more exploited, defenseless group of

subsidize organized corporate interests, giveaway taxpayer
assets like minerals under the public lands, and bail out
speculative, self-enriching corporations and their crooked
bosses. Continue

Color of LawWhy Clinton's Jeremiah Wright Strategy Failed:
By David A. Love
The race card has been an accepted part of politics for years,
primarily because that’s the way people liked it. The politics
of division worked because of the willingness of bitter and
frustrated working-class Whites to act against their own self
interests, placing racial solidarity with White elites above
economic solidarity with struggling Americans of all backgrounds.
