Despite Obama's promises, rival views are scrubbed from White House SHARE
America was told that finally, after years of yes-men running the government, we were getting a president who fill his administration with varying viewpoints, and glean empirically sound policy from the clash of ideas. Little did we know that "team of rivals" was an empty slogan.

Unrest Surfaces in Fallujah Again SHARE
Despite all the political ballyhoo about the so-called recent surge success, the fact is more American troops died in 2007, than in any other year of the war. Dahr Jamail, independent journalist on the ground in Iraq, reports the truth.

Petraeus Testimony This Week Will Signal Iran Attack SHARE
The neocon lie that Iran is the cause of the Iraqi insurgency is just another Bush regime lie like the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and connections to al-Qaida. Fighting in Basra was started by the US and Maliki to remove a potential threat to the U.S. supply line in the event of a U.S. attack on Iran.

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man SHARE
McCain is doing everything short of putting a For Sale sign on his forehead. He has more lobbyists as fundraisers than any other candidate, and allows them to represent their business clients while working in his campaign.
The real McCain is the longtime corporate crony.

NORAD Stand-Down SHARE
The air defense network had predictable and effective procedures for dealing with 9-11 type of attacks. Dick Cheney did not follow these routine interception procedures when he was in charge of NORAD that morning. He scrambled fighters to Alaska instead of New York. His impeachment is imperative to stop his current course of starting a third illegal war in Iran and touching off WWIII.

How swing state Ohio got nuked SHARE
Once a great industrial heartland, Ohio's rustbelt status has been solidified by billions in excess electric rates driven by four nuclear reactors, and by the state government's inability to make way for a green-powered future.

Six Economic Questions The Presidential Candidates Must Answer SHARE
If these issues are not resolved, the next President will preside over an economically defeated nation and will have to accede to the wishes of these foreign countries who will then own, control and manage our means of production, economy, and country.

In Tatters Beneath a Surge of Claims SHARE
Media reports of great success for the Bush/McCain surge were meant to displace the Iraq War as an election issue. But, even before the Feb. 23rd attacks on the Green Zone, Dahr Jamail was reporting that when U.S. forces speak of a reduction in violence, many Iraqis simply do not know what they are talking about.

A Trade Transformation SHARE
This week, Hillary Clinton claimed, "I've long been a critic of the shortcomings of NAFTA." But, campaign rhetoric over a few months does not make one a longtime critic.

Smart Move: Barack Obama Goes Populist In the Home Stretch SHARE
Obama hammered NAFTA. "Trade deals like NAFTA and China have been signed with plenty of protections for corporations and their profits, but none for our environment or our workers who've seen factories shut their doors and millions of jobs disappear; workers whose right to organize and unionize has been under assault for the last eight years."

John McCain funded by Soros since 2001 SHARE
Crazy, conservative Republican zealots have branded 71-year old Bush clone, Sen. John McCain, with the liberal label. As ridiculous as this is, big-time liberals in fact have financed McCain.

Does McCain's GOP have aces up its sleeve? SHARE
The Brownshirt Party has chosen John "hundred year war" McCain as their presidential candidate. How can they win with the majority of voters sick of war, lies and fraud from the Federal Reserve and Wall Street as well as stagnant and falling incomes? The Brownshirts can steal the election with the Diebold electronic voting machines or an orchestrated "terrorist attack" to drive fearful Americans to the war candidate.

The Rise of the Imperial Class SHARE
McCain is part of the "imperial class," since his father was an admiral. The 71-year old candidate would probably be one of our most war-waging presidents.

American Liberty Teetering on Edge of Abyss SHARE
The executive branch has realized it doesn't need Congress as Bush appends his own "signing statements" to the authorizations from Congress. And, the Department of Justice has ruled that the president doesn't have to abide by laws already on the books.

The Democrats' Class War SHARE
The New York senator who appeared on the cover of Fortune magazine as Big Business's candidate is winning economically insecure, lower-income communities over the Illinois senator who grew up as an organizer helping those communities combat unemployment.

Rocky Mountain Realities SHARE
Rocky Mountain states will play a big role in the February 5th nominating contests. The candidates winning there will be those who ignore the fictions and appreciate the truths about the people living in the region. Common myths include reflexive support of right-wing national security policies and rampant libertarianism. The truth is these folks are like all other Americans: complex and not easily stereotyped.

Nukes are back and so are we SHARE
The nuclear power industry is back to the taxpayer trough with a new cover story: nuke power will "solve global warming." In truth, Nuke power is the most expensive technological failure in US history. It can't get investors, liability insurance or a solution to its waste problem. And today, it can't compete with the renewable energy industry, which is soaring to new heights of power and profitability.

Giuliani is Mideast's worst nightmare SHARE
A President Giuliani would be like Bush on steroids. His benign campaign persona masks his saber-rattling, neocon persuasion. Mid-east hawks help develop his foreign policy. He's for American troops staying in Iraq for the foreseeable future and believes only war will work in Iran. War-nut Giuliani once returned a $10 million disaster aid check to a Saudi prince who suggested the US reexamine its Middle East policies.

Bush's World War Three SHARE
Under the mad "Dr. Strangelove Bush", World War III is no longer hypothetical. Bush hints that if Iran does not give up its nonexistent nuclear weapons program, we might be reluctantly forced into in a World War III. Actually, World War III has been on the lips of NeoCon architects of US foreign policy from the outset of the Bush regime.

The Royal Treatment: Saudi Involvement in Iraq Overlooked SHARE
In his rush to war, Bush uses thin evidence to cite Iran's support of resistance groups in Iraq. At the same time, he ignores the fact that 45% of all foreign militants targeting U.S. troops are from Saudi Arabia. Could the reasons be that the Saudi royal family has long standing connections to the Bush family and the U.S. has access to their vast oil reserves?
