Despite our passion for what’s new, there are themes that we keep reporting on year after year, as they reflect a bigger picture which remains fairly constant, or the root causes of our problems which have still not been addressed, or potentially powerful solutions which have still never been tried.

Why Did CIA Director Petraeus Suddenly Resign...And Why Was the U.S. Ambassador to Libya Murdered? Many sources confirm that the US consulate in Benghazi was mainly being used for a secret CIA operation. They say the State Department presence in Benghazi "provided diplomatic cover" for the previously hidden CIA mission. The timing of Petraeus' resignation becomes more interesting since he was scheduled to testify under oath next week before power House and Senate committees regarding the Benghazi consulate.

Guess Where These Beautiful Pictures Were Taken " Iran obviously has problems and is far from perfect. But given the tidal wave of propaganda in the news which is doing everything possible to "demonize the enemy" to justify war, we think it is valuable to provide some balance and perspective. Maybe we should learn a little bit more before deciding whether or not to bomb Iran?

America -- and Western Civilization As a Whole -- Was Founded On a Conspiracy Theory The entire idea of democracy -- going back to ancient Greece -- is based on a conspiracy theory: that leaders who make decisions without input from the public will not treat the people as well as if they have a chance to vote. This is another form of "separation of powers," as it creates checks and balances between the decision-making power of the government and that of the people.

Politicians Swear to "Never Forget" 9/11 Victims " Then Slash Healthcare for Heroic First Responders Politicians constantly urge us to never forget the victims of 9/11. Yet the EPA lied to the heroic first responders and told them that the dust at Ground Zero was safe, when it was actually laced with a witches brew of cancer-causing chemicals which are now crippling or killing them off. And now Congress is slashing medical care to the first responders.

NYT: White House Didn't Stop 9/11 Because It Thought "Bin Laden Was Merely Pretending To Be Planning An Attack" Right after 9/11, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld accused Iraq of having a hand in the attacks. People may not remember now, but -- at the time -- the supposed Saddam-9/11 link was at least as important a justification for the Iraq war as the alleged weapons of mass destruction.

Top Economists: Iceland Did It Right ... And Everyone Else Is Doing It Wrong The U.S. and Europe have thwarted white collar fraud investigations ... let alone prosecutions. Iceland told the banks to pound sand. And Iceland's economy is doing much better than virtually all of the countries which have let the banks push them around.

Are People Being Thrown Into Psychiatric Wards For Their Political Views? Are we going to slide into Soviet levels of psychiatric detention of political dissidents? Unless the spread of psychiatric detention without due process of law is checked, the mere belief that the government is interfering with your liberty may become grounds for locking you away.

Ter-ror-ism (Noun): When OTHER People Do What We Do We have a long history of using bombs and violence as a way to scare the civilian populations into seeing things our way. But that is never labeled terrorism by the U.S. Instead, anyone who simply disagrees with U.S. policy (including those with the nerve to criticize the wars on brown-skinned people throughout North Africa and the Middle East planned 20 years ago) may be targeted with the terrorist label.

Will the Peasants Go Medieval On Bankers? We have argued for years that the best way to avoid violence is to reinstate the rule of law. Will public outrage at the Libor scandal and other financial misdeeds lead to fundamental reforms of the financial sector, or will we have to wait for a 21st century peasants' revolt before seeing any real change?
