Mark Karlin, Truthout: ''The US has done little to stop what appears to be 'social cleansing' (limpieza social) carried out by the Mexican military, police and government-sanctioned death squads at times.... Given that the CIA and countless US intelligence agencies, not to mention the Drug Enforcement Agency, are entrenched in Mexico, it might be appropriate to reflect that our real government/corporate interest in the nation is as a marketplace and a non-populist pro-US government.''

How the Militarized War on Drugs in Latin America Benefits Transnational Corporations and Undermines Democracy

Mark Karlin, Truthout: ''Are US taxpayers funding a losing war on drugs ... as a means of expanding military influence and increasing political dominance over as many governments south of the border as possible with the deliverable result of creating increased business opportunities for global companies based in the US?''

What s the US empire good for?

Future of Freedom Foundation

In other words, should the U.S. government have an overseas military empire and a foreign policy of interventionism? Or to put it another way, should it be the role of the U.S. government to be an international policeman, judge, jury, executioner, intervener, meddler, fixer, helper, and interloper?

The Constitution versus the executive branch departments

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Laurence M. Vance

06/12/12

The U.S. federal government contains a myriad of agencies, bureaus, corporations, commissions, administrations, authorities, and boards organized under 15 cabinet-level, executive-branch departments headed by a secretary (or, in the case of the Justice Department, an attorney general). Although Republicans created the latest, most bloated, and most hated department (Homeland Security), they sometimes talk about eliminating or consolidating various other departments...

Gar Alperovitz, Truthout: ''The recent Public Banking conference held in Philadelphia offered a message that is at once so simple, but also so bold, it is hard for most Americans to pause long enough to understand how profoundly their thinking had been corralled by the masters of finance ... To understand what has happened, however, you first have to take a minute to shake a few cobwebs out of your brain about 'money' and how it is created and by whom and for whose benefit.''

Not just poverty, which is destroying the lives of billions of people around the planet, but inequality, the accelerating gap between the 99 percent and the 1 percent. According to research in dozens of disciplines, the extreme disparities of wealth and power corrode our democratic system and public trust.... Inequalities were a major contributing factor to the 1929 and 2008 economic downturns. What follows is the case against inequality.''
