Why Americans Must End America’s Self-Generating Wars
Peter Dale Scott
The most urgent political challenge to the world today is how to prevent the so-called “pax Americana” from progressively degenerating, like the 19th-century so-called “pax Britannica” before it, into major global warfare. I say “so-called,” because each “pax,” in its final stages, became less and less peaceful, less and less orderly, more and more a naked imposition of belligerent competitive power based on (…)

At first glance, the results of America’s 2012 election appear to be a triumph for social, racial, and economic justice and progress in the United States: California voters passed a proposition requiring the rich to shoulder their fair share of the tax burden; Two states, Colorado and Washington, legalized the recreational use of marijuana, while Massachusetts approved the use of marijuana for medical purposes; Washington and two other states, Maine and Maryland, legalized same-sex (…)

Is it possible to be extradited and tried in a foreign country for something that is legal in a person’s native land? Can a person be sent to Spain to atone for events that took place in France?
The answers to both questions, at the heart of the Aurore Martin case, may be found by looking at political relations rather than legal texts.
Aurore Martin is a 33 year-old French woman from Mauléon, in the French Basque Country. She is currently in prison in Madrid. Targeted by a European (…)

No one would be wrong now for thinking that David Petraeus and his mistress Paula Broadwell may well have selected the double entendre title for her recently published biography Petras: All In, a detailed account of the military leader’s honour and commitment, with another more personally suggestive meaning in mind.
Thinking about his long-suffering wife at home while the powerful CIA Director bedded the much younger woman, the expression "All In" must have given the cheating couple hours (…)

The US is Screwed
… by Bob Nichols
(San Francisco) – Yea,… it’s true. China stopped going to the US Treasury Bond Sales auction. As a result, the US changed their tune in a hurry in the South China Sea. Looks like there is a new Sheriff in Town and the US was thrown under the bus by China. As far as we know publicly, the Chinese did not even say a word....

The results of the US presidential election, at first considered clear and decisive, were thrown into utter chaos late Wednesday morning as a new electoral college map appeared at an independent primary school on the outskirts of Boston. "We were just coloring in the maps," said the young boy’s teacher, "and he goofed."
The mistake, innocent though it was, is already having wide ranging implications. Ohio and Wisconsin, once considered solid "blue" victories, were instead colored in red. (…)
