Media critic and former economist P. Greanville is The Greanville Post's founding editor (http://www.greanvillepost.com/).
He also serves as publisher for Cyrano's Journal Today. He has a lifelong interest in the triumph of justice and compassion, which makes him an enemy of all forms of animal abuse and exploitation, and a passionate defender of authentic democracy, which puts him outside the sphere of "corporate life." He considers such exile an acceptable price.

Republicans and millions of wingnuts across the nation paint Obama as a dangerous radical extremist, a Lenin in black face.

These are the lies that "keep the social peace" and lead us to war, all in the service of the business class which has practically eviscerated our democracy.
A true primer on propaganda, US style.

In a world that is now truly Orwellian, his work is more pertinent today than ever before.

A review of Joel Magnuson's MINDFUL ECONOMICS allows P. Greanville the necessary topical platform to discuss the nature of contemporary capitalism and its main prop, false consciousness.
