Syrian Army Casualties Rise as West Inflames Civil War Civil war in Syria is yet another event in the U.S. strategy to control the strategically critical resource rich Middle East. Sectarian issues make it an extraordinarily dangerous situation.

Obama's role in the selection of drone missile targets More important than what the state killing program says about Obama personally, however, is what it exposes about the ruling political establishment as a whole. It testifies to the wholesale repudiation of core constitutional principles at the highest levels and a real political and moral breakdown of the entire US government.

The Political Uses of the Latest "Terror Plot" The American people are opposed to war and have seen again and again how the "war on terror" has been used to justify military aggression abroad. Moreover, millions of working people in the United States and around the world are confronting far more immediate threats -- mass unemployment, declining living standards, the lack of a future for the youth and the destruction of public education and basic social services.

Washington's real concerns over the Afghanistan atrocity photos The Afghans do not need to see a picture on the front page of the LA Times to hate the foreign occupation of their country, which has lasted for over 10 years and inflicted hundreds of thousands of casualties together with daily humiliation and oppression. The Afghans are living it, not merely reading it in a newspaper.

Obama Justice Department indicts ex-CIA agent for exposing torture The prosecution of Kiriakou is part of a policy of state secrecy and repression that pervades the US government under Obama, who came into office promising "the most transparent administration in history." This marks the sixth government whistleblower to be charged by the Obama administration under the Espionage Act, twice as many such prosecutions as have been brought by all preceding administrations combined.

Afghanistan Massacre: The Product of a Criminal War The only ones who believe the Pentagon's version of the massacre by Staff Sargeant Bales is the Pentagon. But as far as whether there is any chance justice will ever be served in all this the verdict is out.

Hillary Clinton and Middle East war crimes Behind the crocodile tears shed by the war criminals in Washington, the demands for regime-change in Syria have no more to do with human rights than the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq had to do with protecting the American people from terrorism.

Drones Come to the U.S. An amendment typically slipped under the radar of most Americans to the 63 B$ Federal Aviation Authority appropriations bill has ominous implications for democratic rights in the United States. The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, clears the way for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or drones. All Americans of every political stripe should be freaking out right about now.

Obama, Congress Back Legalization of a Police State Despite the attempts of liberal and pseudo-left groups to promote illusions that Obama would veto the legislation because of concerns over its assault on democratic rights, the Democratic president's only worry was that it might call into question the sweeping powers that he and his predecessor, George W. Bush, have already seized.

Washington and Iran: The reckless policy of provocation The more that emerges about the purported Iranian "terrorist plot" to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States, the more it appears to be a crude concoction by elements of the American state apparatus to blackguard Iran and create the pretext for an escalation of US aggression.

Ex-SDS leader seeks to herd Wall Street protest behind Obama The Democrats are seeking to co-opt the anti-Wall Street movement, lining it up behind a president who was elected with the largest campaign war chest ever funded by Wall Street and who has spent his first term in office defending the interests of the banks, finance houses and the top 1 percent.

Occupy Wall Street and the Democratic Party If those who are protesting against Wall Street are to avoid becoming regulated and rendered harmless, they must begin by rejecting the "lesser evil" fraud and fight to develop an independent political movement of the working class in opposition to both parties of big business and the profit system they defend.
