Class Warfare, the Final Chapter

Michael Pirsch, Truthout: 'There is overwhelming evidence that we are entering the final chapter of class warfare in the US. Today, in the 'public arena,' it is forbidden to say class warfare, and many citizens do not regard themselves as working class. The assault on language comes compliments of the propaganda apparatus, which includes: public relations, marketing, corporate media and the entertainment industry, universities, think tanks and so on. Its purpose is to distract our attention from serious matters so we can focus on trivial matters - usually involving consuming.'

Unequal Protection, Part I: Corporations Take Over

Thom Hartmann, Berrett-Kohler Publishers: 'In 2003, when the first edition of this book came out, I was invited to address about two hundred students and faculty at a New England law school. I asked for a show of hands 'among those of you who know that in 1886 in the Santa Clara County versus Southern Pacific Railroad case, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that corporations were entitled to constitutional rights?' Every hand in the room went up. (And then they got an earful.)'

Antiwar.com Antiwar.com
by Kelley B. Vlahos

03/15/11

Over a century apart, both Manning and Davis were imprisoned in Virginia in the month May. If Manning were in Davis? shoes, he would have been taken off 'maximum security' status ? which keeps him in 23-hour solitary confinement - back in October. Instead, Manning continues to inhabit a tiny, windowless 9 ft x 8 ft cell at the Marine Corps Brig at Quantico...

'Anonymous' Whistleblower Charges BofA With Large Scale Force Placed Insurance Scheme

Ooh, this is ugly. - The charge made in this Anonymous release (via BankofAmericaSuck) is that Bank of America, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Balboa Insurance and the help of cooperating servicers, engaged in a mortgage borrower abuse called 'force placed insurance'. This is absolutely 100% not kosher.

What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom?

Our Time of Universal Deceit Needs An Orwell

By Paul Craig Roberts

'Support the troops' originated in the public relations department of the military/security complex. What 'support the troops' really means is to support the profits of the armaments industry and the neoconservative ideology of US world hegemony.

Power Concedes Nothing Without a Demand

By Chris Hedges

The liberal class has busied itself with the toothless pursuits of inclusiveness, multiculturalism, identity politics and tolerance-a word Martin Luther King never used-and forgotten about justice.

What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom? We Will Force You to be Free

Video By Adam Curtis - BBC 2

The programme suggested that following the path of negative liberty to its logical conclusions, as governments have done in the West for the past 50 years, resulted in a society without meaning populated only by selfish automatons, and that there was some value in positive liberty in that it allowed people to strive to better themselves.

10 Reasons To Say NO To Western Intervention In Libya

By Andrew Murray

A 'no-fly zone' has now been urged by the Arab League - for the most part a collection of frightened despots desperate to get the US military still more deeply involved in the region.

America?s antimilitarist tradition

Campaign For Liberty Campaign For Liberty
by Anthony Gregory

03/11/11

We should be encouraged by the Rasmussen poll finding that 2/3 of Americans oppose intervention in the Arab nations. However imperfect a reading, it reflects in the national culture a lingering strain of America First sentiment -- that disposition against U.S. intervention in foreign squabbles that are not Americans' business, or at least not our government's business...
