Noam Chomsky, TomDispatch: ''In the years of conscious, self-inflicted decline at home, 'losses' continued to mount elsewhere.... A look at the studies of public opinion undertaken by U.S. polling agencies in the MENA countries easily explains the western fear of authentic democracy, in which public opinion will significantly influence policy.''

The Pentagon s lie machine

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

02/15/12

In Col. Leap s opinion, the goal of the Public Affairs officer in the service of the US military is not to defend the country, it s to safeguard the National Will. The will to do what? Why, whatever the Pentagon and the political leadership desires. These are the movers and shapers of the National Will: the rest of us, including the media, are mere instruments in their capable hands...

Who Benefits From the Organized Violence of War?

Ed Kinane, Truthout: ''Can t we see our complicity in our own oppression? Don t we contribute to militarism through the federal taxes we pay, about half of which goes to the Pentagon? The Pentagon, of course, then funnels much of this swag to its corporate cronies. Are we so caught up in personal debt, are our lifestyles too snared in addiction, distraction and co-optation, that we can t think straight? Are we so snared that our hearts have gone AWOL? Don t we give a damn that our children are inheriting an increasingly depleted and dangerous world?''

US support of dictatorship leads to anti-American anger in Bahrain

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

06/22/12

The people of Bahrain are figuring out what libertarians have long been saying about U.S. foreign policy, that the U.S. government is sometimes partly responsible for the tyranny under which people are suffering and have suffered for a very long time, which then produces anger and hatred toward the United States, which then sometimes manifests itself in acts of anti-American terrorism...
