Terror in Central Asia: NATO’s Great Game
by James Corbett GRTV.ca March 13, 2013 Ever since the staged false flag attacks of 9/11, the US government and its complicit corporate media have focused their attention on fighting the shadowy, all-pervasive, all-powerful, ill-defined and undefeatable “Al Qaeda” enemy that is supposedly menacing the US and its allies at home and abroad. The term “Al Qaeda” of course is merely a cipher for “excus

‘Dirty War’ Questions for the New Pope
If one wonders if the U.S. press corps has learned anything in the decade since the Iraq War—i.e. the need to ask tough question and show honest skepticism—it would appear from the early coverage of the election of Pope Francis I that U.S. journalists haven’t changed at all, even at “liberal” outlets like MSNBC. The first question that a real reporter should ask about an Argentine cleric who l
Too Big to Jail
The U.S. Attorney last week confirmed Americans’ fears about Wall Street. The banks, Eric Holder said, were not just too big to fail; they were also too big to jail. That means bankers operate beyond the pale, outside the historical fence line encircling civil society. Past the pale is where barbarians resided, returning regularly to rampage. These days, bankers operate from beyond the pale, r
House of Cards and the Liberal Imagination
The agonizing death of American liberalism hasn’t been fun to live through, but it’s starting to make for good art. Take Netflix’s new series House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey as Francis Underwood, a South Carolina politician scheming his way to the heights of power. It’s not only entertaining, but informative. Not for its accuracy—the series’ vision of American politics is skewed beyond rec
The U.N.‘s Hypocritical War on Pot
The notion of alcohol consumers piously demanding that others stop using pot probably makes you think of the beer-swilling World War II generation berating weed-smoking hippies during the 1960s. Now, thanks to the United Nations, that caricature gets an update—and the hypocrisy is at once amusing and depressing.   You may have read the headline-grabbing news that in advance of its conference

Further Notice
I used to read the news headlines for fodder, though not anymore. Politics and commerce—mostly the same thing—are easy subjects in that I have plenty to say about what’s going on. When I write about easy targets, though, I end up thinking about them as targets, and I no longer think constant attack is helpful to me or the things I care about. Janice was never comfortable with my political writing,

Thoughts On Democrats Trying To Cut Social Security (And Other Stuff).
