According to a recent report published in the Washington Post, hundreds of confidential interviews with key figures involved in prosecuting the US war in Afghanistan have revealed that the American public has been consistently misled about this unwinnable war. The papers depict a conflict with vague and unachievable aims, pursued under George W Bush, Barack […]
This whole 737 Max fiasco is simply the most recent illustrations of Boeing’s criminality. It boggles the mind to ponder how and why these safety issues escaped regulatory review or how the aircraft were ever deemed airworthy to begin with. This could only happen in an industry afflicted by the wholesale collapse of regulation and […]
A lot of America’s current problems began with our nation’s inevitable slide into a total capitalist society, where consumption and wealth is a means unto itself. Everything else in our society, from family to culture to geopolitical affairs – must take a back seat to overwhelming greed. In the USA, people are glorified for their […]
Something which certainly won’t be discussed during the ‘Ukraine-whistleblower’ scandal is the fact that The US helped fund and coordinate the February 2014 overthrow of the legally elected government of Ukraine because it was leaning toward closer relations with its neighbor, Russia. The U.S. instigated and supported the Ukrainian coup – which was composed of […]
Woodstock 50 has been canceled…to the surprise of no one! The festival, spearheaded by original Woodstock promoter Michael Lang, had promised to revisit the “three days of peace, love and music” spectacle with a bill that was supposed to include Jay-Z, Miley Cyrus, the Black Keys, Dead & Company and a bevy of other musicians, […]
Clearly, the words irony and hypocrisy don’t exist in president* tRump’s (admittedly) extremely limited vocabulary. Projection also seems to be a big thing with the president* and his fawning minions – like that national disgrace Lindsay Graham. Or maybe we should just call this phenom “Pot-calling-the-kettle-blackism”? Whatever sort of reality-based assessment we can make of […]
It’s very interesting and quite significant that Labor Secretary Alex Acosta resigned so quickly when his role in protecting billionaire Jeffrey Epstein from Federal prosecution a decade ago recently came to light. Normally these guys will fight tooth and nail and deny, deny, deny until the very end. In the past, president* Trump’s strategy would […]
What is happening today in America is exactly what happened in Germany in the 1930s. No one had the guts or the wherewithal to stand up to the Nazis back then, and the rest is history. President* tRump’s ‘celebration of America’ this past 4th of July weekend pretty much sealed the deal. I couldn’t stand […]
The main reason so many EU countries have strong economies and a better quality of life than the USA is due to the compatibility between labor unions and corporate management. In America we have an adversarial relationship between the corporate State and blue collar workers – and what’s left of the unions. CEOs can make […]
WE WANT THEIR OIL. That’s the real story. Venezuelan President Maduro has accused the USA of responsibility for the nationwide blackout which has affected the country for five days now. This is an incredible, virtually unprecedented cyber-attack. It is also safe to say it is the work of the CIA. In any case, one would […]
