Empty Drums
You won't find this in the corporate American media. The Asia Times provides and excellent commentary on the Republican party's latest dirty trick to con the electorate into believing that offshore drilling is a panacea for all that ails the economy. This is a Newt Gingrich operation and the 'Pelosi Premium' is a big con job. There will be no oil for a decade and once there is it's all going to be put on the export markets.

If McCain were a Democrat ...
The gloves need to come off before the 30 + year running revisionist history of Vietnam and the McCain as a war hero are rolled out like Arc Light by the Republican slime machine. This is a nice little article from the Asia Times (no U.S. media source would dare to print it) on how McCain, a self admitted war criminal would be treated if he were a Democrat. Truth is that he is NO hero and some may even call him a traitor.

Debt capitalism self-destructs
The always outstanding Asia Times has another beautiful analysis on the failure of looter capitalism. You won't ever read any of this here in the Homeland as the big lie that capitalism and democracy are one and the same is the greatest taboo of them all. I long ago stopped wasting my time on the domestic corporate propaganda system and articles like this one are a great example why.

President George W Bush backs Israeli plan for strike on Iran
(1 comments) The ultimate example of the complete systemic failure will be soon clear to all once the U.S. reaps the whirlwind of the coming Israeli attack on Iran. Whatever remains of our sad and deteriorating republic and its disintegrating economy will turn into a literal state of anarchy once gas hits 10-12 dollars a gallon, there are food riots and nobody can afford to go to work. A big assist goes to the 2006 Judas Democrat Congress.

The Horror: Vietnam Defines Another Election
This is a great piece that I found in the Asia Times (it could never be found in the U.S.) about the inevitable Republican exploitation of the Vietnam War for political gain yet again. With John McCain's mythical storyline as a 'war hero' making him somehow beyond reproach the GOP is going to once again rip off the scab from this tragic national wound and rub salt into it for political gain while the country wastes away.

Granddad, Tell How Capitalism Committed Suicide
(1 comments) Captitalism - at least in its current cancerous form - is destined for the same historical scrap heap of failed systems and ideologies where lie all of the other grandiose failures that were eventually undermined by the hubris and greed of amoral men. With the house of cards swaying and the storm rapidly approaching it is only a matter of time until it assumes its rightful place next to communism.

Surviving the Fourth of July
Chris Hedges is a personal hero of mine for his ability to courageously speak on the state of the rotting empire that we all in some way recognize. He has been there and has lived to tell the tale as a veteran war correspondent. I always recommend his columns but his speeches are even better - they are able to cleanse the soul - and I would recommend listening to him. In this darkest of times he is a rare beacon of morality.

Kobyashi Maru
This is a wonderful little piece that I ran across on the no-win situation faced by the Federal Reserve in dealing with the economic disaster that we all find ourselves trapped in courtesy of the perverted form of looter capitalism that has destroyed the dollar and is on the brink of beggaring the country while Wall Street stooges Paulson and Bernanke provide rearguard cover for their criminal friends.

IMF finally knocks on Uncle Sam's door
You won't read this in the corporate media. The International Monetary Fund is about to embark on a review of the U.S. house of cards financial system. Globalism comes home to roost as the chicanery of the Wall Street crooks has only succeeded in causing international investors to be bilked out of their money by the Bernanke-Paulson flim flam men and their cronies. Looter capitalism is about to be shorn of all but its figleaf.

The Coming Catastrophe?
(2 comments) A sobering look at one scenario that could take place if the Bush-Cheney-Neocon Axis Of Evil is able to get their wish and kick off WWIII by either attacking Iran as a response to a false flag event or otherwise capitalizing on an Israeli strike as a result of the extremists in the Knesset. They would risk all of this in order to jumpstart the PNAC agenda.
