    March 24, 2006 By Mike Whitney
    A lot of rubbish has been written about “religious faith” lately. The fact is, there’s a force more powerful than faith: the power of denial. America has completely surrendered to denial; abandoning any claim to reason or clear-sighted analysis. The vast majority of people are perfectly content to ignore the telltale signs of looming disaster choosing instead to keep their heads firmly tucked in the sand.
    Is it really that hard to see what’s happening?

    Everyone seems to think they have the solution, yet no alternative plans have been announced and no details emerge as to what this agenda they have is, however there is a plan known as PNAC that most of these neoconservatives (in want for a better definition, I will use my own, unethical stance that they are only right, with their trust us, have we ever let you down easy yet; cavalier, elitist, arrogant unmanly ballistic mayhem of _delusional doublespeak., (yet I regress.)) subscribe to, and (…)

    The head of the House Democratic Campaign Committee , Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois ( well sort of ) has stacked the deck with savage pro- war neoconservative Democratic candidates. In so doing he renders the mid-term elections a total farce. The Democrats are hoping to ride a huge tidal wave of anti-Bush/anti War sentiment to regain control of the US House of Representatives.... "Change is in the air ? Right ? No ! ... Several savage pro-war neoconservative Republicans might (…)

    by Daniel Patrick Welch
    Given the state of politics in the US and the moribund resistance from popular forces, it is often surprising to many that some of the great struggles of our time had their start in the Belly of the Beast. The tradition of May 1 as International Labor Day, for example, is marginalized in the country of its birth: it was the capstone of American Labor’s fight for the eight hour day in which women and anarchists played a prominent role. International Women’s Day was (…)
