    Perhaps the most ironic thing about modern day America is the realization that, even though the nation was created through revolution, talk of revolution is almost nonexistent. This is perplexing, particularly since many of the conditions that fueled revolutionary rhetoric during the Nixon era of the late 1960s and early 1970s have reappeared today.
    During Nixon’s presidency America was mired in Vietnam—fighting a war on foreign soil that was fabricated on nothing but (…)

    Recent disinformation by the western media about Russia starting a new Cold War not only masks the threat of a US Anti-Ballistic Missile shield deployment but, as always, projects the blame on the victim, Russia.
    The US missile shield must be understood in the context of its geo-strategic nuclear deployment. Far from being defensive, its ultimate purpose is to obtain such an unassailable advantage over any other nuclear power as to be able to threaten any would-be opponent with nuclear (…)

  • History’s Quiet Footsteps

    Al Gore commenting on the Supreme Court’s unprecedented decision and intrusion into Florida Election law in 2000 said, “I had to either accept the decision or continue to fight it which could have brought about a revolution.” He is right of course, and a revolution could have potentially cost thousands of lives and millions of dollars and thrown the nation into turmoil. Instead we had the peaceful if unlawful transference of power and what has that brought us since?
    But I’m not trying (…)

    Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience.—Admiral Hyman Rickover (1900 - 1986)
    Unfortunately, nuclear-powered submarines were his idea too...also known as the "Father of the Nuclear Navy"
    However, he said this in his old age:
    "I do not believe that nuclear power is worth it if it creates radiation. Then you might ask me why do I have nuclear powered ships. That is a necessary evil. I would sink them all. I am not proud of (…)

    The world knows that George W. Bush has always touted "compassionate conservatism". He’s out to prove it now with a brand new proposal for the future of Iraq.
    Bush and his gang of military advisors including thinktank professors, generals and "yes" men, have concluded that what’s best for Iraq is a task force of caring and concerned troops to stay in the Green Zone and on various large bases for the forseeable future and beyond...waaaay beyond!
    This has been our pattern in the past; we (…)

    I have two subjects of general interest to discuss today. The first concerns the flap over the Turkish threats to invade northern Iraq in the wake of Kurdish terrorists cross-border murderous activities inside Turkey and the second deals with a very serious problem with rising sea levels and genuine economic chaos for our east and gulf coasts. First, let’s look at what could very well become a major political disaster. To reduce the problem to basics, the Kurds (…)

    The Trap That Backfired The Secret US Plot to Kill Sadr
    By PATRICK COCKBURN
    Baghdad.
    The US Army tried to kill or capture Muqtada al-Sadr, the widely revered Shia cleric, after luring him to peace negotiations at a house in the holy city of Najaf, which it then attacked, according to a senior Iraqi government official.
    The revelation of this extraordinary plot, which would probably have provoked an uprising by outraged Shia if it had succeeded, has left a legacy of bitter distrust in (…)
