From Haymarket to Ludlow from Harlen to Matewan from Mother Jones to You By David Glenn Cox
So it has come to this, why must I wake the sleeping? It wasn’t so long ago I was asleep myself. Why must I be the one to tell you what you don’t want to hear? Why must I tell you about how quickly hot red human blood congeals and turns black when mixed with cold pavement or frozen mud? Murderous armies training automatic weapons on women and children, then firing off a few rounds, just for fun. (…)

Barack Hussein Obama (BHO) has just passed the 100 day mark of his presidency. Decent anti-racist humanitarians can ask the question: how many people have died avoidably in the Occupied Territories of the American Empire under President Obama? The answer: 180,000 including 113,000 under-5 year old infants; for details read on.
1. Annual under-5 infant deaths in Overseas American Empire.

On Thursday, April 30, 2009, in a massive act of non-violent “Civil Resistance” over 50 activists were arrested at a protest action in front of the White House. The protesters refused to move from the sidewalk when ordered to so by the police. The activists were demanding that the administration of President Barack Obama uphold the supremacy of the Law and investigate and prosecute wrongdoers in the Bush-Cheney Gang responsible for “acts of torture.” The demonstration was sponsored by the (…)

A Death in the Family By David Glenn Cox
Like a junkie or a crack head, American industry has become addicted to third world labor. The driving force in the economic equation has become finding the lowest cost labor source. Like stealing the family TV, or money from mother’s purse, they think only of the buzz or the high, the dividend or quarterly profit.
The image is put before our eyes that everyone is doing it, just as the junkie tries to rationalize their addiction. That it couldn’t (…)

Is the US responsible for the 9-11 atrocity? Scientists have published evidence for unignited nano-thermite high explosive in all WTC dust samples tested. The only people who could have placed requisite quantities of this super-thermite high explosive in a civilian office worker zone would have been American officers (and/or their Israeli surrogates) with appropriate security clearance.
Thanks to the recently published research of Professor Niels Harrit (Department of Chemistry, (…)

In the latest development in Nepal’s experiment with allowing former rebels to take the helm of the nation’s democratically elected government, the Maoist leadership formally retracted its threat last week to sack the chief of the formerly royalist Nepal army. The move, some say, may have saved the less-than-a- year-old government from being overthrown. The intractable dispute over assimilating the former Maoist guerrillas into the army, as per the terms of the peace accord (…)

Poor Oprah By David Glenn Cox
Oprah Winfrey has traversed America; she is the epitome of the American dream. But for everything that we gain in life, we must give up an equal amount. If we are ambitious we work long hours and forget how to relax and how to allot time for family and friends, because our goals entrap us.
Winfrey, early in her broadcasting career, fought the battles of a being an African American woman struggling for employment in an industry controlled entirely by white (…)

In April 2009, the Campus Activities Council (CAC) of the University of Oklahoma had a Facebook site announcing that on May 2 CIA agent Michael Scheuer was scheduled to give a speech on campus. Scheuer was described as "the long-time chief of the Bin Laden tracking center."
This is interesting because OU president David Boren, a former U.S. Senator, has many ties to the CIA and is widely known as the mentor and sponsor of George Tenet, who was CIA director when the (…)
