World-News

By Paul Craig Roberts

There was a time when the pen was mightier than the sword. That was a time when people believed in truth and regarded truth as an independent power and not as an auxiliary for government, class, race, ideological, personal, or financial interest.

Social Inequality in America: Widening Income Disparities

By Vi Ransel

Reforms, regulatory agencies and elections themselves are America's Circus Maximus, mere flourishes on the veneer of democracy painted over the naked concentration of power accrued to the few who hold the reins of the corporate mechanism, the most stunningly efficient means ever invented for accumulating and concentrating wealth, which is then translated into political power.

The US is at a Precipice

By Tim Gatto

This recent fiasco concerning health insurance really made me understand that most Americans have no idea what is really important. The minuscule amount of money compared to the defense budget and the bail-outs is not the important issue here. The selling out of our nation by Congress and the Executive Branch is the real problem.

Interview with Bruce E. Levine. Levine: “There are times when human beings can become so broken that truths of how they are being victimized do not set them free. This is certainly the case for many victims of parental and spousal abuse. They are not helped by people explaining to them that they are being battered, exploited, uncared about and disrespected. They know it already and somebody pointing it out is not helpful. So, it seems to me that it is also possible that human beings can become so broken by the abuse of the corporate elite that they also are no longer set free by truth...

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

03/23/10

Among the most extraordinary powers claimed by both President Bush and President Obama as part of the post-9/11 ‘war on terrorism’ is the power to nullify — or ignore — jury verdicts of acquittal in federal criminal cases involving terrorism. Ever since the founding of the United States, it has been a fundamental principle of American criminal jurisprudence that the executive branch has the power to charge and prosecute people for criminal offenses while the judicial branch has the power to determine whether they’re guilty or not...

States’ fights

The American Conservative
by Jeff Taylor

John C. Calhoun is back with a vengeance, warming the hearts of Old South romantics while chilling the blood of modern liberals. He conjures up images both appealing and appalling: old-fashioned patriotism, partisan demagoguery, genuine fears, love of liberty. The modern Tea Party movement owes much of its inspiration to the Ron Paul campaign, the only national effort in recent years to mention the Tenth Amendment. Yet inevitably talk of nullification evokes memories of Calhoun and the Lost Cause — even though the roots of the idea run much deeper. The re-emergence of nullification — the repudiation or ignoring of a federal law by a state government — poses an interesting challenge to the power of the federal government and its monopoly on constitutional interpretation...

Carl Boggs, The Crime of Empire.

Rogue Superpower and World Domination

By Ludwig Watzal

The U. S. power elites believe in national exceptionalism, they view the country as a benevolent or benign hegemon working for democracy, human rights, and peace. The elite - politicians, media, academia, and think tanks - presents U. S. policy as pragmatic, non-ideological, furthering liberal democracy, freedom, equality, and citizen partizipation.
