The American Conservative

As details continue to emerge about the U.S. government’s interference with the press and manipulation of public opinion during the Iraq War, one inevitably hears the lament that such actions are out of keeping with the tradition of American democracy. Susan Brewer’s Why America Fights makes it clear that this is premised on a massive historical misunderstanding... (for publication 11/01/09)

Mr. Big Stuff himself, as he used to be called on CNBC during his heyday, has spoken once again. But this time, Alan Greenspan has uttered an inconvenient truth. So, will Washington and Wall Street listen? The former Federal Reserve chairman’s statement Thursday before the Council of Foreign Relations in New York about today’s megabanks (’if they’re too big to fail, they’re too big’) is so self-evident a fifth-grader would get it. But the adults who are formulating economic policy at the Treasury Department and on Capitol Hill have treated that simple statement as heresy. … Neither has there been much of a ripple in the financial press over Greenspan’s comments...

The Libertarian Enterprise
by L. Neil Smith

10/18/09

Half of America holds ‘values’ which already have begun sucking them back into a festering Dark Age that they will never recover from. They’re grimly intent on dragging the rest of us down with them. ‘Everybody in! Nobody out!’ the demonstrators chant menacingly in support of medicalized Marxism. It’s perfectly consistent that there is no genuinely forward-looking science fiction left in mainstream America — which seems to have abandoned any curiosity ever had about the ’shape of things to come’ — and an ominously chilling warning that the future, apparently, now belongs to the Chinese, who appear to still believe that humankind can shape its own destiny, and to whom the cramped, narrow world of Star Trek must feel like a libertarian utopia...

Begun as a loosely affiliated groundswell of Constitution-waving protesters in tri-cornered hats, the Tea Party movement is now starting to rock the political establishment in key arenas. The growing numbers of Americans coming out to the Tax Day Tea Party, the Fourth of July Tea Parties, and then the 9/12 Tea Party march on Washington are going back to their home districts and keeping up — even intensifying — the fight for smaller government and more transparency on spending and taxation. In places like New York, Florida, California, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, local, state, congressional and gubernatorial seats are suddenly being tugged to-and-fro by the new and unruly political force. The upshot? The street energy is welcome for an otherwise moribund Republican party looking for new moorings amid a tumultuous electorate...

Taking Tea with the Lizards

By Joe Bageant

The Tea Party is the latest neoconservative end run around the possibility of a real third party emerging to threaten the status quo. To be honest, it's a brilliant political move, absorbing any energies that might have propelled a real third party. And, in true neocon fashion, it capitalizes on the working class' inchoate anger at the ongoing screwjob they've been getting from both parties for thirty years.

'Irresponsible' to Commit More Troops to Afghanistan: Kerry

"It would be entirely irresponsible for the president of the United States to commit more troops to this country (Afghanistan), when we don't even have an election finished and know who the president is and what kind of government we're working in, with," Democratic Senator John Kerry told CNN in an interview.

Escalation unopposed

CounterPunch
by Ron Jacobs

If the news reports are true and at least 45,000 soldiers are preparing for their assignment to Afghanistan, these displays designed to inspire more such deaths will increase in frequency. All the while families tell themselves their children died for something like freedom when most of us know deep inside that no one but those who send them over there really know why the US military is even over there. When we the people are honest with ourselves we know it has to do with empire and conceit, but those reasons do not make us feel good. And there’s barely a peep. Liberals and rightwingers in Congress line up behind the Obama who lines up behind the Pentagon and the industry of war. With the exception of a very few, the consensus is that the death and destruction must continue. The comfort of the empire’s citizens must not be disturbed...
