If "That One" Wins

All the contradictions of America's white supremacist history converge on
November 4, when a society drenched in racism tries to figure out which of
its "selves" will pull the lever. Lots of whites seem to be profoundly
confused. "A recent poll indicated that many white people, including some
who claim to support Obama, continue to hold very negative opinions about
black people, often viewing them as `violent,' and `complaining.'" But Obama
solves the problem, since his "refusal to directly address the needs of
black people is also appealing to white people." Other whites are more

Bush: "This sucker could go down." If only!

What strange times we are living in. George Bush is being called a 'socialist' and is forced to intensify a sense of panic concerning the state of the 'economy' in order to convince fellow republicans and the public of the virtues of state intervention in the financial system.

The Carbon Trust: State Sponsored Greenwashing (With Help From Greenpeace)

I have a confession to make: about 18 months ago, when I was still part of the economic machine, I spent some time calculating the carbon footprint of the company I worked for. To help me, I used the guides provided by the Carbon Trust a, what I thought then, fairly reliable and objective agency of the UK Government working for, I thought at the time, reducing the overall carbon emissions of the UK.

US Armada En Route to Persian Gulf:"Naval Blockade" or All Out War Against Iran?

US sponsored war games have foreseen the possible intervention of Russia and China in the Middle East. World War III has been on the lips of NeoCon architects of US foreign policy from the outset of the Bush regime.

There is a tacit public acceptance of a diabolical and criminal military agenda, which in a very sense threatens "the community of nations" and life on this planet. Read more >>
