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.

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.

Sacred Ecology and Capitalism As a result of over population and unbridled greed, virtually all of the world's great ecosystems are in decline. The global ecology is the underpinning of the world economy. Impairment of the ecology guarantees the collapse of the global economy. Capitalism is the primary culprit.

Whatever Happened to Courage? One of the most valuable lessons taught by history is that from time to time people rise up and fight back against horrible tyranny and impossible odds. American labor history provides many instructive and inspiring examples.

Uncommon Grace: Biology and Economic Theory Like all economic systems that are not based upon real science, or an appropriate land ethic, the concept of property rights and private ownership are misguided and ultimately self-destructive constructs. The public welfare and the ecological integrity of the earth exceed all economic self interests in importance. Economics are based upon self-serving, false premises, whereas ecology is real.

Standing at the brink Let it be understood that we are witnessing history repeating itself, as it so often does. Our ignorance of unwritten history is what dooms us to repeat it. So much of written history has been fictionilized to make martyrs of the worst kind of human beings.

Of Hamster Wheels and Men By putting our faith in those who serve the almighty dollar, rather than upholding the principles of democracy ourselves, we diminish our own power--we cede it to the corrupt and diabolical whose primary purpose is to rape and exploit us. Let us leave the safe haven of our hamster wheels and occupy the streets until justice reigns for everyone. There is no other way.

The Absence of Reason The death of innocent civilians means nothing to a government that routinely murders civilians around the world, and sends its own to kill and be killed for imperialistic reasons. Pax Americana is an old phenomenon, not one that began with George Bush and Dick Cheney.

Gods Among Ordinary Men 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.

What if they gave a War? 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.

The War President The perception of strength, courage, and decisivness in George Bush as a war time president are the creation of his handlers and PR firms. The truth is that Bush is a moral coward. His record speaks for itself.

When Ignorance Rules In the parlance of computer technology there is a saying--GIGO. Garbage in, garbage out. The computer spews out a result that is consistent with what was programmed in. That is the kind of citizenry we have produced; a citizenry whose minds are filled with garbage; a citizenry that cannot think for itself, and act in its own defense.

Ethnic Cleansing in New Orleans 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.

Externalizing the Cost of War There are 192 recognized nations on earth; the U.S. has troops in 135 of them. We are bringing democracy to the world through the sites of an AK-47 and carpet bombs. If this is democracy the world has had enough of it!

Soldiers and Imperial Presidents 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.

The Making of a Zombie Culture It can be exasperating to those of us still in full possessin of our mental faculties to witness the zombie-like state of indifference that afflicts our fellow citizens, even while the sky is falling upon them. Their minds truly are not their own.

Big Brother Is Watching This is not the first time that law abiding citizens have been under surveillance by the government. Whenever ordinary citizens organize and demand justice they pose a threat to Washington's corrupt power brokers.

Ghosts in the Machine: Encounters with the NSA 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.

Solidarity An aberration of nature, the blood of the punks and thugs is not red like ours; it is green, the color of money. They have an insatiable thirst for blood-our blood; the blood of all innocents. Blood money is their currency. Through some kind of strange alchemy, they are able to convert blood into money to own the world.
