  • There’s a Beggar at the Door, It’s Your Banker

    There’s a Beggar at the Door, It’s Your Banker By David Glenn Cox
    My parents used to tell me about the last great depression, I vividly remember my father explaining to me how the landlady would come to beg his parents for the rent. Not to ask for the rent or demand the rent but beg. My grandparents would give her whatever they had at the time, fifty, seventy-five cents. She would leave, joyous for a small percentage of the five-dollar rent.
    She was happy because it was her grocery (…)

    By David Glenn Cox
    There is something strange going on in the political landscape of America. Something both parties see as a threat to national security, well to their national security at least. The candidates of both major political parties strike terror into the hearts of both political parties’ leadership for the same reason, and for opposite reasons. Last year it was a foregone conclusion that the Democratic nominee would be Hillary Clinton, no one doubted it for one minute, she (…)

  • Noam Chomsky : Why Isn’t Iraq in the 2008 Election?

    The following speech, transcribed by Democracy Now!, was delivered by Chomsky in Massachussetts at an event sponsored by Bikes Not Bombs.
    Not very long ago, as you all recall, it was taken for granted that the Iraq war would be the central issue in the 2008 election, as it was in the midterm election two years ago. However, it’s virtually disappeared off the radar screen, which has solicited some puzzlement among the punditry.
    Actually, the reason is not very obscure. It was cogently (…)

  • Operation Canned Goods
    3 March 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    Operation Canned Goods By David Glenn Cox History is written by the victors, that much is true. Not only are the valiant deeds of the victors made public but the crimes of the vanquished as well. The Spanish American War was predicated on the premise that Spanish radicals had planted explosives on the American battleship, USS Maine. The American ambassador described the negotiations, in his diary of that day, as going well and exceptional progress being made. But with the death of the (…)

    I Know! Let’s Rape Grandma! By David Glenn Cox
    With the current subprime crisis, most lenders don’t sleep well at night. For years they lived an idyllic life style, lending out a dollar and getting back a buck and a quarter. Come in late and leave early; only a pimp had it better. But bankers never had to contend with the cops or wayward hookers. Like a drug dealer they just stood on the corner and waited for the suckers to come to them.
    Not that bankers don’t do good things for a (…)

    A Ship’s Smoke on the Horizon By David Glenn Cox
    The lost and stranded are always grasping for survival, it is human nature. Ernest Shackleton, lost in the Antarctic in 1914, gave his men a speech promising them only survival. And to emphasize the point he tore a single page from the Bible, a page that promised salvation, and threw down the rest of the book into the snow. Banished were any other ideas, only certain salvation was to be contemplated. It was a masterstroke of leadership, (…)

    Firm Wants to Build Military Training Facility in Louisa
    By Christina Mora, NBC 29
    A private military training firm has its eyes on 1,000 acres of Louisa County land. The group wants to build a training center equipped with firing ranges, driving courses, and shooting houses.
    It could boost the county’s economy, but there are still a lot of hurdles to jump. The Cincinnati-based O’Gara Group currently has a training facility in Danville, but they want to expand it. That’s where Louisa (…)
