    Hillary Clinton bucks the trend and rakes in cash from the US weapons industry
    By Leonard Doyle in Washington Published: 19 October 2007
    The US arms industry is backing Hillary Clinton for President and has all but abandoned its traditional allies in the Republican party. Mrs Clinton has also emerged as Wall Street’s favourite. Investment bankers have opened their wallets in unprecedented numbers for the New York senator over the past three months and, in the process, dumped their (…)

    There are No Republicans in Science Fiction By David Glenn Cox

    Why Are Americans So Fearful?
    Warning: this essay is chock full of politically incorrect musings.
    Observing our relentless march toward war abroad against Iran and looming dictatorship at home, it’s obvious to me that our “leaders” are getting away with this agenda because Americans are so fearful. But why? What are they afraid of? Answering this question is important because I think this irrational fear is finding an outlet in anger, which is evident in
