America's armed forces are in Iraq under false pretenses that have nothing to do with democracy or liberation. They are there for reasons that are as nefarious as they are treasonous; and, more than anyone, the men and women in the military need to know this.

Like genetically modified poultry with abnormally large breasts, the American consumer was bred to consume and to be consumed by predatory capitalists. They are taken in by seductive advertising campaigns that nourish the urge to consume, no matter how destructive to the self or to the planet. The majority of them will never get out of debt.

Some time ago the thought police, represented by the NSA, clandestinely moved into my computer. It did so without my permission and in violation of the law, not to mention the Constitution. I am astonished that so many manifestations of a police state have managed to crowd onto my hard drive. Disease thrives in dark places. My office, like much of the Middle East, is an occupied territory.

Whatever the origins of the grossly inflated America self image, it is, in part, the paradigm behind the ideology of Manifest Destiny--a force that continues rampaging and pillaging most of the world in its quest for markets and wealth.
SHARE Wednesday, November 22, 2006 The Cumulative Effect of Lesser Evils
What essential difference to imperialistic policy does the mid term elections make? Does anyone honestly expect the Democratic majority to energetically work to repeal the Patriot Act and Military Commissons Act? To defund the occupation of Iraq and Palestine?

Amidst the jubilant atmosphere in the aftermath of the mid term elections it is important to remember that the same special interest money controls both parties. It is still the corporations, the wealthy, who run the country, not we the people.

There are three primary pillars that are the underpinning of our society: government, religion, and media. Organized religion, like the mainstream media and the government, is controlled by the wealthy and powerful. It serves the high priests of capitalism and is little more than an enabler of corruption and conquest.

The American government derives its power from corporate bribes, rather than from the populist support of her people. Therefore, this cannot be a Democracy; and we should stop calling it by that name. The corporations are represented but the vast majority of the people are not. It is about time that we learn the difference between Plutocracy and Democracy.

It is no coincidence that those who make war never fight in them. It is the corporations that lobby for war because there are profits to be made; and profits to be kept. The purveyors of war are invariably cowards and pathological liars.

America is a land where sharp divisions of race and class play an important role in deciding one's fate. People with wealth and property matter in America; those without do not. Hurricane Katrina and the ethnic cleansing of New Orleans provide the evidence.

According to the government's twisted definitions, I qualify as a terrorist. If so, I wear the crown proudly and defiantly. Here is why.

The U.S. and Israeli governments are responsible for most of the conflict in the Middle East. According to Amnesty International, both nations are conducting terrorist campaigns in the Middle East. Corporate Globalization and capitalism are the economic underpinnings of The New World Order that we are foisting upon the world.

The Bush regime operates in unprecedented secrecy under the pretense of fighting a war on terror. They are, in fact, conducting an illegal war of terror against innocent people both at home and abroad.
SHARE Tuesday, July 11, 2006 Militarism and the Corporate Welfare State
American citizens must recognize the link between militarism, war and capital and build a better system--a form of government that serves the people rather than capital.
SHARE Wednesday, June 28, 2006 The Bourgeois Congress and Economic Violence
If the greatness of a nation is measured by how it treats the poor rather than its military expenditure, America must rank near the bottom of the heap. The disparity between rich and poor has never been greater and the gap is widening at an accelerating pace. It didn't just happen. It is the result of policy deliberately enacted against the poor.
SHARE Monday, June 26, 2006 War is Still a Racket
USMC General Smedley Butler was right when he said in 1933 that war is a racket. It sitll is and always will be. War is the ultimate contempt for life; the ultimate betrayal of human potential.
SHARE Tuesday, June 20, 2006 The Strange Language of Capitalism
When George Bush and other capitalists speak about freedom you must understand that they do not mean freedom in the sense that most of us understand it. They mean the freedom for corporations to gain access to markets and cheap labor through the use of coercive force.
SHARE Sunday, June 18, 2006 A Plea for Net Neutrality
The Internet remains one of the final refuges for free speech and political dissent. If Telecommunication giants such as AT&T, Verizon and Comcast have their way that will change. Fox News will provide the official version of history.

The premise of the Take Back America Conference held in the nation's capital this week should have been to wrest power from the hands of the capitalists and putting it in the hands of the people where it belongs.
My invitation to the event described Hillary Clinton and John Kerry as progressives, which made me laugh out loud. Then I realized that the conference organizers were serious. Needless to say, I did not attend.

Above all else America is a place of commerce. Capitalism is god here. Countless atrocities have been committed against earth and man under the American flag in the government's efforts to expand markets and increase corporate profits. The commercial media has not told us the truth about these acts.
