    CIA finally fed up with George W. Bush and the amateurs around him
    VHeadline.com commentarist Arthur Shaw writes: In the shabby, sham, and phony United States "democracy," a controversy over the rule of law rages although the US capitalist press falsely portrays the controversy as a mere case of criminal law that affirms the rule of law in the USA.
    Of late, the US capitalist press closely covers developments in Venezuela where the capitalist press portrays every alleged criminal act by a (…)

    In the long run, the existence of this intensely elitist society in the ancient Near East was of enormous importance to the history of Western civilization. As late as 1700, the prevailing European social system was still one in which vast power, the greater part of landed wealth, and the prime control of political life belonged to the hereditary landed aristocracy.

    The past is the present is the future
    With so much history in the making right now, you may feel as though now isn’t the time to review scandals of yore. But those who do not study history are condemned to relive it. Yes, that’s a cliche; it’s also true.
    Case in point: Gary Buell’s recent look back at the Secret Army Organization(), a militia-like provocateur group of the early ’70s — whose leaders were run by the FBI.
    The SAS represented the plausibly deniable "action arm" of an (…)

    "The enemy is anybody who’s going to get you killed, no matter which side he’s on."
    Joseph Heller, Catch 22
    Hate to break this to you, but you are brainwashed; or, at the very least, have been subjected to brainwashing all your life. It’s unfortunate, and you can deny it all you want, but you have. So have your parents, your grand-parents, and their parents, and their parents before that. So have your wife and your children. So will your children’s children and their children too. Your (…)

    Corruption-Lite and The Two Party System That Has Choked the Democracy out of this Country. by Anthony Wade

    I see all the time the questions of what is wrong with the Democratic Party. I sense the palpable frustration of well-minded people who fight day in and out against the corruption in the current administration only to be heartbroken at the apparent ineptitude of the opposition party. It hit me today why the Democratic Party seems too inept in dealing (…)

    The MP George Galloway angrily rejected fresh allegations last night from a US senate investigation that he lied under oath about Saddam Hussein’s multimillion-pound oil-for-food programme.
    The inquiry, headed by the Republican Norm Coleman, claimed he had "knowingly made false or misleading statements under oath" when he appeared before a committee hearing in Washington in May.
    The MP for Bethnal Green and Bow won widespread acclaim, especially from anti-Iraq war campaigners, when he (…)

    By LOUIS UCHITELLE
    THE Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. set forth the goal. Civil rights and union membership were to be intertwined. The labor movement, Dr. King wrote in 1958, "must concentrate its powerful forces on bringing economic emancipation to white and Negro by organizing them together in social equality."
    That happened in the 1960’s and 1970’s. But then unions lost bargaining power and members. And while labor leaders called attention to the overall decline, few took notice (…)

    Americans normally shrug off newspaper headlines overseas, unconcerned by what the rest of the world thinks of us. But the events of recent months have turned a not-so-flattering mirror back upon the US, forcing us to think seriously about what it is the rest of the world is seeing.
    The hurricanes that struck America’s Gulf coast this autumn were just the beginning of a series of storms - both physical and political - that have done significant damage to the already (…)
