Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Koehler Publishers: 'Fascism is rising in America, this time calling itself 'compassionate conservatism,' and 'the free market' in a 'flat' world. The point of its spear is 'corporate personhood' and 'corporate free-speech rights.' The behavior of the Roberts Court in Citizens United eerily parallels the day in 1936 when Roosevelt said: 'In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for.' Even before the Citizens United case blew open the doors to a corporate takeover of American politics, the corrosive influence of corporations' having 'rights' was already evident. Now these 'unequal consequences' have been put on steroids.'

Socialism for the Rich

Capitalism for Everyone Else

By Mark Braund

If more people understood the means by which banks create money, the way it swells the coffers of the already wealthy, and the destabilising effect it has on the real economy, then surely there would be a outcry of Murdochian proportions.

What is liberty?

Authority!
by Timothy J Taylor

08/25/11

The Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States of America promise individual freedom and liberty, but those who have sworn an oath to uphold these principles have systematically dismantled them to the point where there is almost nothing left. Where is the freedom? Where is the liberty?
