I just watched a video and cried because I’m a sucker for that stuff. Drums beating, banners waving, people happy doing the one thing they know will light a fire under the wimpy butts of congressmen and presidents and make them fear the fear they’ve made.
No fool like an old fool, sentimental claptrap, laughable, a geezer watching lovers on a park bench remembering what passion was back in the ancient sixties when they thought they could just kill us by chopping off our heads and serving (…)

How to Quash a March: Chris Hedges is wrong
20 March 2010As I have been saying (see here), the demonstration in Washington today seems to have been systematically undermined by "progressive" websites (by non-promotion) and has lost all focus. Today I read on OpEdNews that "hundreds of civic organizations and activists are heading to the nation’s capital to demand (from) the White House and Congress the passage of an immigration reform that would allow millions to regularize their legal status."
Huh?
On the ANSWER homepage we find nary a (…) -
7th Anniversary: West ignores US Iraqi Holocaust, Iraqi Genocide & 4.4 million Iraqi deaths, 1990-2010
20 March 2010As detailed below the US Alliance (comprising most notably the US, UK and Australia) has been conducting a merciless Iraqi Holocaust and Iraqi Genocide that has taken the lives of an estimated 4.4 million Iraqis over the last 20 years and created 5-6 million Iraqi refugees.
However Western media holocaust ignoring permits this atrocity to continue.
Holocaust ignoring is far more serious than holocaust denial because the latter at least admits the possibility of argument whereas the (…) -
On Nicos Poulantzas . (In Radical history Review).
18 March 2010Nicos 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 (…) -
Pro-Zionist, Islamophobic Apartheid Australia signs $349 million "defence" deal with Apartheid Israel
17 March 2010Pro-Zionist Australia (aka Apartheid Australia because it has race-based laws excluding many Indigenous Australians from the protection of the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act: ) has been politically dominated by pro-Zionist and indeed racist Zionist-beholden America since the 1975 CIA-backed coup that removed the reformist Whitlam Labor Party from power (see William Blum’s “Rogue State”).
The racist Zionists have cemented their grip on Australia and on the Australian Labor Party in (…)
