    Washington, DC 20500
    2nd of January, 2010
    President Obama,
    Two events occurred at the end of 2009 that called me attention:
    First: New sentences given to Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Ramon Labañino by the Miami Federal Court.
    Second: Your Nobel Prize award in Oslo.
    Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez and Ramon Labañino are three of the five Cubans who are inhumanely detained in your (…)

    On New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 2010, a vigil was held at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD.

    “Fascism is a political ideology that seeks to combine radical and authoritarian nationalism with a corporatist economic system, and which is usually considered to be on the far right of the traditional left – right political spectrum.

    Global Research, December 25, 2009
    "I am as intolerant of imperialistic designs on the part of other nations as I was of such designs on the part of Germany. The choice is between two ideals; on the one hand, the ideal of democracy, which represents the rights of free peoples everywhere to govern themselves, and, the ideal of imperialism which seeks to dominate by force and unjust power, an ideal which is by (…)

    Regular readers of my Pravda.Ru articles may have observed that I frequently promote the following three hypotheses: 1). That evil is the primary motivating force in human nature; 2). That even though human beings praise goodness with their words, they consistently produce, promote and reward evil with their deeds; 3). That human mortality ensures that the profits derived from doing evil shall not endure, and that those who turn away from evil will eventually be rewarded.
    However, I also (…)

  • Why I Didn’t Go to Vietnam
    20 December 2009 par (Open-Publishing)

    It was a bright, blue-topped Saturday in the spring of 1963. Dave Walker met me at the front door of his house in Glen Burnie. He was a big guy, with red hair, and I knew he had played football, unlike me, but like me had been a favorite of our English teacher, Mr. Forsythe. That’s why we were getting together. Dave was just finishing his freshman year at Johns Hopkins, and I had just been accepted, so Forsythe gave me his phone number and suggested we get together.
    His parents weren’t (…)

    By David Glenn Cox
    These are dark days to be a Democrat and dark days to be a Republican and even darker days still to believe in democracy. When you state publicly that we live in a corporate oligarchy you are dismissed as naive, denigrated as cynical, or dissed and told, “Well, welcome to the real world.”
    As I’ve watched the health care debate roll through Congress I‘ve carried a secret fear of a corporate bait and switch. One good thing added, one bad thing added, one good thing (…)
