Antiwar Radio: Gareth Porter
Gareth Porter, historian and journalist for IPS News, explains the confluence of interests between Osama bin Laden and Dick Cheney, who both want a U.S. war against Iran, the false accusations against that country which would supposedly justify an aggressive war (such as the lie that they are buddies with Osama and that they are supplying the bombs killing Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan), the likelihood that Cheney would use nuclear weapons as 9 out of 10 Republican presidential candidates...

Walsh, Professor of physiology at UMass and regular contributor to Counterpunch, discusses the left and right, the Democrats and Republicans, realignment against the empire, the push for an invasion of the Sudan and that time Bill Clinton bombed their antibiotics factory - sentencing untold numbers of people to death from easily curable diseases.

Dear Iggy,
Here's the real deal about the accusations of Ron Paul being a racist: Some assholes wrote those things under his name long ago and he stupidly didn't immediately denounce the statements. Then they came up in the race in '96 and he says his aides said that it would make it worse if he tried to explain that someone else wrote it in his newsletter under his name. Again, a very stupid call. In 2001 he explained to Texas Monthly that others had written it and that he felt real bad - especially the...
The prisoner President
While running on the treadmill this morning, an endorphin-fueled thought paraded in front of me: The President is a prisoner. He is a prisoner behind his own security apparatus, who lock in the sycophants and lock out the "evil doers." The world is filtered to him in a very odd and distorted way, like a Tzar in his Potemkin Village. Okay, no, I don't feel terribly sorry for him, but it makes me wonder how this skewed reality colors his decision making. How would it affect anyone's? Could it be...

Where Are You Now, When We Need You Most, Rage Against The Machine?
From the Onion: Now, of all times, we look to you for clear-eyed articulation of the fucked-up world we live in. The people of the sun still labor in Mexico, but no one plays bass about their struggles! Mumia sits in prison, yet no one sings for his freedom. What do we hear? Silence. You've abandoned us in our hour of need. How could you? Everywhere: exploitation. Where's the rock? You summed it up so clearly in "Fistful Of Steel" when you sang, "If the vibe was suicide, then you would push da...

American Racism
In a recent comment in a Stress thread, Scott referred to me as a "round eye". That brought back a lot of memories of wars fought long ago so I looked up this article for a little perspective on the subject. The old bromide "some things never change" applies here. We could also apply this concept to the continual criticism of the debate candidates, depicting them as being morons and nitwits... This accomplishes nothing more than perhaps making the critics feel like they are clever. In case...
