The ‘War on Terror’ Has Utterly Failed – Global Terrorism Has Dramatically Increased Since 9/11 In the 17 years since the events of Sept. 11, 2001 – after which the United States declared a “global war on terror,” there has not been a terrorist attack of similar size or magnitude on American soil. However, according […]
I have always had a problem with authority; especially what I consider to be ‘illegitimate’ authority. The Viet Nam War was waging throughout my childhood, and at that time the American flag was looked upon by many as a symbol of illegitimate authority. It still is to me. Let me explain. My family was politically […]
Musical tastes are fragmenting more every day and they are likely to continue on that course. Too many of today’s artists are simply not very talented. I have no familiarity with Beyoncé’s music, or Bruno Mars or Eminem or Lady Gaga or Kanye – nor Justins Beiber or Timberlake – or any other “popular” artists. […]
Oh, poor baby tRump. Why is everybody so mean to him? It’s not like he’s ever insulted anyone ever in his life. He’s just so nice to everyone…and for some reason celebrities and world leaders and former staff members want to make fun of him. The relentless victimhood that the “president” creates for himself is […]
In truth, Russian and Israeli state meddling in the 2016 US elections doesn’t hold a candle to all the actual coups and “regime changes” perpetrated by our own intelligence agencies all over the world since 1947.

The Copernican Principle – when applied to intelligent life on Earth – would confirm that we are not particularly “special” in terms of intelligence in our galaxy, and that our civilization is technologically very young. So it’s a bit of a stretch for a scientist from our “era of observation” (which one could liken to […]
America’s former global leadership role in the world had more to do with the impact of the G.I. bill than the fear caused by the Soviet Union’s launching of Sputniks I and II in 1957. Prior to the 1963 coup which overthrew the LEGAL US government, the nation’s elite actually felt a little ‘Noblesse Oblige’ […]
The PMRC was a group of influential “Washington wives” who sought to restrict sales of all music containing ‘explicit images or lyrics, including sexual or occult themes’ because they were offended by the content of some of the stuff they heard. Somehow they were convinced that violent or offensive lyrics adversely affected young people – […]
The GOP literally can’t take a joke. All the faux controversy over Michelle Wolf’s recent comments (“jokes”) at the White House Correspondents’ annual dinner roast appear to confirm the simple fact that Republicans have absolutely no sense of humor. Never mind irony… It looks like we’ve just found out who the ‘snowflakes’ really are. The […]
What capitalism has ultimately succeeded in doing is branding economic oppression as “Freedom.” The Left [what’s left of The Left…]really needs to appreciate the degree to which all the progressive ideals and emancipatory lifestyles which emerged in the 60s have been fully integrated into the ruling capitalist ideology. Meaningless slogans like “Make America Great Again” […]
