The mainstream media [MSM] has many subtle, effective techniques at its disposal to promote specific agendas through stories they choose to report on. The methods they use are nothing short of tactical rhetorical weapons unleashed upon an unsuspecting public. There are several tactics employed in this rhetorical war. According to authors Dietram Scheufele and David […]
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. But not anymore. That went out the window with disintegration of the USSR and the ‘Peace divided.’ The warmongers and their […]
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 […]
It’s time we come to terms with the fact that ‘America’ as we know it is dead and buried, and it has been for decades. We live in UMERKA now. The country has reverted to what it has always been throughout its history: a white supremacist, oligarchic, theocratic, authoritarian imperial power. Trump and his ilk […]
The Devil’s Chessboard by David Talbot connects a few more dots in the JFK assassination story. It’s ostensibly a biography of Allen Dulles, former head of the CIA under Eisenhower and Kennedy, but Talbot’s book examines how Dulles’ criminal acts helped to create the Orwellian national security state we currently inhabit. “Mind control experimentation, torture, […]

America currently garrisons the planet with more than 850 military bases around the world in more than 40 countries and U.S. territories. We deploy more than 200,000 troops across the globe. In Japan alone, we still have around 100,000 people connected to […]
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 […]
“Conspiracy theory” has always been used as a pejorative one-stop label as a means to dismiss any alternative explanation of an event which doesn’t conform to the ‘official’ explanation. The term ‘conspiracy theory’ was concocted by the CIA to discredit anyone daring to point out the many glaring discrepancies, oversights, and outright lies in the […]
I would love to have a reason to be proud of this country. But there is so much about it that is so profoundly wrong I can only feel shame for calling myself an American. I have some ideas about how to improve everyday life for ALL Americans: Let’s get rid of the oligarchy, the […]
