The United States maintained massive, highly secretive chemical and biological weapons manufacturing programs for most of the 20th century. Originally created as a deterrent against foreign adversaries during World War I and World War II, these offensive programs stockpiled thousands of tons of lethal agents before they were permanently dismantled under international treaties.

Back in the olden days, when the Soviet Union was still around, the US government used to at least throw a few crumbs to working Americans to remind people of how ‘great’ capitalism is.

Americans need to get over the myth that we ever had a truly “free press” in the USA. The free press has been gone for a very long time. All US media – even most so-called ‘independent’ media sources – are owned by the same six corporations. Don’t forget that the wealthy corporate elite of […]
For the past 60-plus years, the USA has attached its currency to petroleum, and more recently, natural gas.

Excessive secrecy and over-classification has restricted our ability to understand the world around us, and our lack of knowledge is destroying our ability to make responsible decisions based on real facts. Unwarranted secrecy is without question highly detrimental […]
If somebody told you that way back in 1947, the OSS [precursor to the CIA] formed an alliance with former Nazi SS officers, the Vatican bank and the Sicilian Mafia to protect Western Europe from a potential Soviet invasion – you might think it sounds crazy.
