USA - We’ve Had The Debtbacle, And Everything Nasty Before it, So Now What Do We
By : Dan Stafford - Thursday August 4, 2011 The first thing that we need to do as a people is stop abdicating the most basic office of our government - the Precinct Representative - and take back control of the local party organizations. People think "I just can’t do any more, I’m too tired and stressed-out." Or they think that all politics is a dirty game full of slimy people. That’s because good people have abdicated their responsibility in our democracy by letting the most basic party office go mostly unfilled. (...)

By : William John Cox - Sunday March 6, 2011 Most people only see the public faces of the Tea Party Patriots: those doing televison interviews, appearing on the covers of magazines, waving from the steps of private jets at political rallies, and who spend the millions of dollars in tax-free donations they have raised; but who are the 15 million “patriots” who actually attend the thousands of local tea parties across the heartland of America? Answers were sought at the TPP’s American Policy Summit held during the (...)

By : June Terpstra, PhD - Thursday December 16, 2010 Come, then, those of us who care about ending oppression. Reject the inhumanity of the right wing; the ignorance of the Tea-Party; the ineffectiveness of the left wing; the lies of liberals and libertarians; the greed of imperialists and royalists; and the abuses of religions. Now leave them all behind. A possible better world is long overdue. Let us not attempt to recreate or reform systems of empire and globalization. This tired planet cannot survive the games that the greedy play. (...)

By : William John Cox - Wednesday November 24, 2010 If nothing else, the election of 2010 has taught us that a “third” political party is not the answer. Like the two existing major parties, it too would simply become another political commodity to be purchased by the corporations and wealthy elite for their own purposes, rather than serving the interests of ordinary voters. Political salvation will come when the voters of every party decide to exercise, rather than dissipate, their power. Political parties have been around (...)

By : Dr Gideon Polya - Sunday September 5, 2010 With the hung Parliament result in the recent Australian Federal Election a major crack has appeared in the US Alliance edifice of lies, propaganda and deception over 9-11, the War on Terror and the horrendously deadly, 8 million-victim wars of occupation still being waged in Occupied Iraq, Occupied Afghanistan (and elsewhere).

By : David R. Hoffman, Pravda.Ru Legal Editor - Saturday April 24, 2010 Ever since the passage of the health care reform bill in America, many so-called “tea-partiers” and their supporters have been stoking the fear that this new law has somehow created a “slippery slope” that will culminate in the destruction of the Constitution, and the ascendancy of a “socialist” government. For those unfamiliar with the terminology, the “slippery slope” argument is analogous to a snowball rolling down a mountainside: the (...)

By : William John Cox - Tuesday April 20, 2010 There are good reasons why the tea partyers are mad; however, their solutions are equally mad. The movement is being joined by independents, republicans, and democrats who have come to believe their government has failed them and that neither political party is doing anything to fix it. This is true; however, all of us are being manipulated by the big corporations and the wealthy elite, who use their corporate-owned, mainstream media to mislead the people into acting against their own (...)

By : Anders STEPHANSON - Thursday March 18, 2010 Nicos Poulantzas The suicide of Nicos Poulantzas has received scant, if any, attention in the United States. This is not so much because Poulantzas committed an unthinkable act by jumping out a window, an act which is not easily confronted by anyone. The reason for the silence is instead more forthright than that: though his work was emblematically known here, it never had the enormous theoretical and political impact it did in Europe. It is indeed hard to make clear for an American (...)

By : Daveparts - Sunday February 21, 2010 By David Glenn Cox It has long been offered that politics is the art of telling your constituents to go to hell and then convincing them that they really want to go. It’s the art of convincing them that what they think is good for them really isn’t. Sometimes it’s a promise to make the sunshine brighter or the rain fall on command. When you ran for office as a Democrat in the good old days you could promise new and better schools, highways and more jobs. It was a pretty (...)

The problem is that Sarah Palin has absolutely nothing to say, with or without notes. Almost every word that comes from her mouth is completely predictable. And all of it is (...)

By : David R. Hoffman, Pravda.Ru Legal Editor - Friday January 22, 2010 “In every American community you have varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects, ten degrees to the left of center in good times [and] ten degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally.” These were the words the late folk singer Phil Ochs used in 1966 to introduce his sardonic song, Love Me, I’m A Liberal, a humorous and politically astute critique of individuals who profess to (...)

By : Daveparts - Saturday September 19, 2009 By David Glenn Cox It is human nature that impels the majority of us to be followers. Normal people, after five or six years of wandering in the desert, will begin to ask questions of their leadership. But a faith-based leadership leans heavily on the desire not to be wrong. No one likes being wrong, and many, if not most of us, will jump through hoops to prove that we are not wrong. This defines our political landscape today. The Republican party is aimless and wandering; they have lost (...)

Early this week, it was announced that President Obama intends to reappoint Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to a second term in January, signaling a vote of confidence in him. Bernanke seems to be popular with the administration and with Wall Street, and with good reason. His lending policies have left big banks flush with newly created cash that covers up old mistakes (...)
