Deep Throat is dead. The man who brought down a President by leaking information which otherwise would never have seen the light of day is gone. His passing should be remembered because he was the Paul Revere of his generation. He held up the light of truth in the steeple as he risked his career, his family, and if caught he might have been sentenced to more hard time than all the Watergate conspirators combined.
Those inside the (…)

Scorched Earth By David Glenn Cox http://theservantsofpilate.com
There comes a point, as the car careens out of control down the icy highway, when we are no longer the driver but just the person holding onto the wheel. We try to do what’s right but the situation changes from instant to instant and it appears that our actions have little effect.
The undercurrents of history, however, may appear to move in unseen channels, but still we can’t escape cause and effect. The film “Charlie (…) -
What FDR Gave Us

Both of my parents lived through the Great Depression. My father was born in 1920, and my mother was born in 1926. My father was raised in a small industrial town, my mother in inner city Chicago. Those of you familiar with Chicago’s waterfront might be surprised to learn that children once played in the empty shell of what now is the Museum of Science and Industry. It was dilapidated, hollow, crime was rampant in the area, vegetable (…) -
Under the Hammer

Through serendipity I received a four-page, color brochure in the mail the other day. Online Auction Due To Plant Closure, 2 Day Auction of Over 700 Lots of Textile & Plant Support Equipment. I thought it odd that I should receive this in the mail, but maybe someone thought I might be in the market to open my own textile mill, or perhaps, like the outsourcing companies, they have to post the jobs locally first.
Anyone out there looking to open a textile mill? I (…) -

The Monster Factory By David Glenn Cox
“True they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no (…) -
In the Shadow of an Apocalypse

The media has coined a new term, “The great recession.” The media loves terms like that, terms they can use to encapsulate ideas. It allows them to rationalize and generalize, and in this case, minimize. To call this the great recession is as insulting as calling a train wreck a boo boo. It ignores the pain and suffering that millions of Americans are going through with a vulgar, sugar-coated euphemism.
Displaced worker is another such term; it explains the result (…) -
Dead Babies Can Take Care of Themselves

When is enough, enough? Sometimes reading news stories can be unsettling and then sometimes it can just make you damn angry. Here in America we live with a multi level media colossus that spews out garbage on every level, they too also lie who just ignore the truth. We are all familiar with Fox news 24 hour running propaganda network but they have to get these stories from some where, they can’t make them all up. They would if they could but they’re just not smart (…) -
Do You Know What You Are?

All of us, no matter who we are or what we are, have an inner belief that we have some redeeming value in our life. Or as John Kennedy once said, “We all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future and we are all mortal.” I use this quote as a touchstone, a milepost, to remind me of a time when our political leadership valued us for our intrinsic human value.
I was doing some research on outsourcing and after just a few (…) -
A Parallel Universe

The scientists toil in their laboratories and build billion-dollar super colliders under the Earth’s crust looking for the secrets of the universe. The heirs of Einstein tell us with confidence that other universes exist, other dimensions where our rules and means of existence simply do not apply. It’s fun to think about such things as a mental exercise, as cranial gymnastics, but if you had to do that type of work all day every day most of us would be dead within a (…) -
The Fox Effect
21 November 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
By David Glenn Cox
We have all sorts of mental conditions and psychoses that cause us to behave outside the norms of society. Post traumatic stress, ADHD, even Alzheimer’s disease can cause cognitive function to decline. So open your medical books and write this one into the margins to be codified into later additions: “The Fox effect.” The Fox effect is a syndrome that appears in all agencies and franchises owned by News Corps. Its symptoms include the inverting of facts and statistics to (…)
