The fallback position of fascists and Nazis is always to create an imaginary enemy. In this case let’s call them the “Alt-left” and then let’s blame them for protesting against the Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Let’s blame them for having the shit beaten out of them and for getting in the way of that […]
Americans need to get over the myth that we have a “free press” in the USA. The free press has been gone for a very long time. All US media – even many ‘indie’ media sources – are owned by the same six corporations. Americans also need to understand that main-stream media (MSM) is controlled […]
For the past 40-plus years, the USA has attached its currency to petroleum, and more recently, natural gas. Since President Nixon took America off the gold standard in 1972, we’ve been on the oil standard (“petro dollars”). The key to the dollar being the reserve currency of the world is OIL, plain and simple. When […]
Betsy DEVOs fits perfectly into the Trump cabinet. She even has the perfect regressive name to go with her regressive opinions: D-E-V-O-s. Are we not men? WE ARE DEVOs. She knows absolutely nothing about public education. She doesn’t have a degree in education, never went to a public school – but she helped to ruin […]
Donald Trump represents white male mediocrity and unearned privilege at its very worst. Rich white males are the ones destroying the planet: they have all of the power, and they control the money supply. They create all the laws and the international treaties. They created the IMF, World Bank, Federal Reserve and the rest of […]
“The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It’s a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of […]
The Military-Industrial-Complex has been politically gaslighting Americans for 50 years now. Bryant Welch, author of State of Confusion: Assault on the American Mind writes: “We are dealing with an evil, insidious methodology. Gaslighting is an insidious set of psychological manipulations that undermine the mental stability of its victims and undercuts trust in our sense of […]
Sensible, affordable health care in America? It can’t happen here, because in this country we consider greed a virtue above all else. What the vast majority of Americans want – access to affordable healthcare – simply can’t be realized without ‘the government’ putting rational, perfectly reasonable profit caps on insurance companies, big pharma and mega-health […]
Republicans opposed Obamacare for two primary reasons: 1) They wanted to make President Obama’s signature legislation a failure or appear to be a failure – the first victory was referring to it as OBAMACARE, not by its correct name: the Affordable Care Act – and, 2) Republicans hate poor people and simply don’t think they […]
The most important thing to remember about the Grammys is that it’s a popularity contest and nothing more. The Grammys present themselves as the pinnacle of artistic achievement in the recording industry, but it is just another pathetic effort to stay relevant and get people to watch another crappy TV awards show. It’s all about […]
