• And the Empire Mourned…. Dissecting the Big Lie
  31 December 2006

  By Jason Miller
  “If we ever pass out as a great nation we ought to put on our tombstone ’America died from a delusion that she had moral leadership’.” Will Rogers
  "It is only in folk tales, children’s stories, and the journals of intellectual opinion that power is used wisely and well to destroy evil. The real world teaches very different lessons, and it takes willful and dedicated ignorance to fail to perceive them." Noam Chomsky

• Shouting Truth to Depraved Power (and Its Unwitting Accomplices): Stephen Lendman Sounds Off
  26 December 2006

  An Interview with Jason Miller
  I recently had the privilege of conducting a “cyber interview” with one of the preeminent domestic critics of the American Empire. Despite his relatively recent start, Stephen Lendman has rapidly become one of the most ubiquitous and well-respected chroniclers of truth in the alternative media community. Asserting unflinching support for social democracy, Hugo Chavez, and the countless victims of US foreign and domestic policy, Lendman has penned a growing (...)

• Call me Ebenezer, but Christmas as we know it needs to go.....
  19 December 2006

  By Jason Miller
  Bursting forth with renewed intensity, the “War on Christmas” is back in 2006.
  So just what does this alleged war against an impalpable enemy entail?
  Have “Islamofascists” captured and decapitated Santa Claus?
  Did a US-made IDF “smart bomb” strike Bethlehem and obliterate baby Jesus as he lay in the manger?
  Did the Grinch go global with his nefarious thievery?
  Actually, the answer can be found amongst the corporate media’s nearly countless obfuscations and deceits.
  Divisive, (...)

• Piercing the Simulacrum: Of Faux Democracy, Petty Tyrants, and Painful Realities
  22 October 2006

  by Jason Miller “The ideal tyranny is that which is ignorantly self-administered by its victims. The most perfect slaves are, therefore, those which blissfully and unawaredly enslave themselves.” attributed to Dresden James
  A caricature of a man who has wrought havoc in virtually every endeavor throughout his miserable existence has found his calling. Exuding false bravado and contrived machismo, he has swaggered his way into the deepest recesses of America’s collective psyche, fulfilling (...)

• To the Victors Belongs Impunity
  17 November 2006

  Of Incorrigible Transgressors, Tacit Complicity, and Lady Justice’s Conspicuous Absence
  By Jason Miller
  “The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.”
  Henry Kissinger, New York Times, October 28, 1973
  Baghdad’s kangaroo court has issued a verdict that virtually guarantees that Saddam Hussein will launch his journey into the hereafter from the platform of a gallows. Convicted of “revenge killings of 148 people, deportation of 400, and razing of orchards,” (1), (...)

• Herbert Spencer’s Evolved Capitalists: “Proclaiming Death to the Weakling, Wealth to the Strong”
  5 October 2006

  by Jason Miller
  Assaulting humanity and the Earth with shocking impunity, the White House’s Machiavellian acolytes of Strauss shamelessly lead the charge for soulless corporations, obscenely wealthy individuals, perverse hypocrites of the Religious Right, a diminishing number of allies, authoritarian regimes that bow to their will, and their state terrorist proxy in Tel Aviv.
  Psychologically and economically enslaving billions of human beings, facilitating the deaths of millions, and (...)

• Milton Lost: Can We Regain Paradise?
  21 November 2006

  by Jason Miller
  [I dedicate this essay to the untold millions who suffered as a result of Milton Friedman’s creation of an intellectual bulwark for economic brutality. On 11/16/06, Friedman died of heart failure, an ironic cause of death for a heartless individual.]
  We have reached the deplorable circumstance where in large measure a very powerful few are in possession of the earth’s resources, the land and its riches and all the franchises and other privileges that yield a return. These (...)

  Are we not the whores of big business, selling our product for their commercial lust? Arthur Erickson
  When George Bush spoke at a maritime training center in Piney Point, MD on Labor Day, 2006, ostensibly he was a respected leader paying tribute to the hard-working men and women forming the backbone of the nation’s economy.
  In reality, Bush is a pimp for the moneyed interests and corporations who wield most of the wealth and power in the United States. Bush, his (...)

• Let Them Eat Candy: Of War Criminals, Enablers, and the Decreasing Significance of We the People
  4 October 2006

  by Jason Miller
  Remember the archaic notion that freedom of speech and peaceable assembly are guaranteed by a document the Bush Regime is rendering as “quaint” as the Geneva Conventions?
  Here is a reminder:
  Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
  Since the (...)

• Inalienable Human Rights are not Privileges: ACLU Sets the Standard in Struggle for "Liberty and Justice for All"
  11 September 2006

  by Jason Miller
  Ecclesiastes tells us there is “no new thing under the sun.” Marsha West’s article entitled American Christian Loathers Union provides us with a pertinent and timely example of this aphorism.
  Throughout the religion’s history, various practitioners of Christianity have defied the compassionate teachings of Christ to perpetrate hateful, fear-mongering, and sometimes quite lethal campaigns against those who do not share their beliefs. The Inquisitions, the Salem Witch Trials, (...)
