State Crimes Against Democracy

The term “conspiracy theory” was invented and inserted into the public domain by the CIA in 1964 to discredit the many skeptics who challenged the Warren Commission’s ridiculous and illogical conclusion that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald. UT Political Science professor Lance deHaven-Smith coined the term ‘State Crimes […]

A Dangerous World

I support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, but I don’t see it having any real impact on US-Israeli relations. Passing laws which boycott companies doing business with Israel is an important short-term objective, but history shows that these measures are of little consequence. American firms have routinely subverted trade sanctions from the days of […]

Behemoth

Most westernized countries treat their citizens to a far higher standard of living than the US. In addition, and they have much more freedom of choice, despite what most Americans believe. In the EU they have free healthcare, free college, paid sick leave and mandatory vacations, faster, free internet, better newspapers, better magazines, better cars, […]

BLACK LIVES MATTER

America’s reaction to the Black Lives Matter(BLM) movement has been baffling. If millions of black people are saying they feel threatened by the police – shouldn’t that be a cause for concern? Instead of reaching out and trying to understand and then work on alleviating those fears the police have behaved like thugs, not BLM. They […]

Take a knee for what you believe in

Colin Kaepernick is taking a knee for his beliefs. I respect him for that. The whole pseudo-controversy surrounding Kaepernick’s mild protest is simply another meaningless side-show meant to divert America’s attention from matters of real importance. These incidents merely serve to further indoctrinate the country’s already docile masses and inculcate them with even more nationalistic […]

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND IS A PROVEN FAILURE

That headline should have been plastered across America’s newspapers last week. If we still had newspapers. Earlier this month, the National Conference of State Legislators – a bipartisan government watchdog organization – declared that the reform efforts of individual states in the wake of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) had been a miserable failure. According […]

Useful Idiots

Sandernistas, Clintonites and Trumpanzees: these are all useful idiots for the American empire. Let’s be clear about America’s so-called “democracy” and “freedom of choice”: we have neither. I can’t understand how anyone thinks they have any kind of choice in a country of 260 million people that can only muster two parties with two slightly […]

THE SOCIOPATH

What glib and superficial charm you have Such a grandiose estimation of yourself; a need for constant stimulation And oh, the pathological lying! So cunning and manipulative You lack remorse or guilt a superficial emotional response; callousness and lack of empathy. You are a parasite without behavioral controls. Your sexual promiscuity and underlying misogyny mean […]

A Dirty Poem

Steamy stories to the fore shattering close ups galore A flourishing of rich, juicy color. State your fancy: breasts, bottoms, schoolgirls; stockings or suspenders? Rubber hoses, squatting spanking, domination a giant strap-on dildo candid crotch shots and more A bargain in store for the solitary man.
