Edward Snowden and the corruption of morals and values

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

07/16/13

The vilification of Edward Snowden by U.S. officials and their spokesmen in the mainstream press reflects perfectly the extent to which the national-security state apparatus, which was foisted on America s governmental system after World War II and without even the semblance of a constitutional amendment, has warped and perverted fundamental morals and values...

Travesty in ''Post-Racial'' America: the Zimmerman Verdict

Dr. Ron Daniels, Truthout: There is no doubt in the minds of many African-Americans that if a black man had killed an unarmed white teenager, that black man would have been found guilty. Such is the state of race relations and racial justice in ''post-racial'' America.

Why Were Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman Held to Two Different Standards of Justice?

Unjust Justice

Lewis R. Gordon, LRG Blog: In the murder of Trayvon Martin, race was not just a single factor, it was the most important. While media pundits and the prosecution tried again and again to divorce the case from its racial implications, it is precisely Martin s race that secured George Zimmerman his freedom and posthumously convicted an unarmed teenager of his own murder.
