With the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) announcement that they are teaming up with Wal-Mart in their "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign, it is obvious that the DHS has no plans of slowing down their assault on our rights and privacy. The United States is becoming more and more Orwellian at an continually increasing rate. If we learned anything from 20th century, this is

My friend Jimmy successfully navigated a TSA security checkpoint in a speedo at the Salt Lake City International Airport on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 with the words, 'SCREW BIG SIS' written on his back. The goal was to carry out an act of protest that was both effective and gutsy but at the same time immune to any punitive reaction from the TSA. This way we hope to inspire other normal citizens

On the sad anniversary of one of the most tragic events in US history, I’d like to pay my respects to those who lost their lives with a post about 9/11. We often hear a remark similar to, “I’ll always remember where I was when I heard that a plane hit the first tower,” or, “I’ll never forget where I was on 9/11.” This is certainly the case for me, and I think for most people in America. It was

Iraq War: Justification or Rationalization?On March 19, 2003, US and British forces invaded Iraq. This was a “preemptive” strike, the first in US history. There must have been a really good reason for this unprecedented military action. But, can you remember what the US preempted or prevented from happening? Most people who are supportive of the war believe the war was necessary to remove Saddam

As stated below in the "Economic Update" post, "Our politicians are right on track with their economic plans to destroy the dollar, present a world currency as the solution, and create a socialistic, world-wide economic system." This is the first time that I've seen this so openly acknowedged in the corporate media.In other words, we didn't learn about this by watching the mainstream media, it

By Walter PincusWashington Post Staff WriterSunday, August 9, 2009As the Obama administration expands U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, military experts are warning that the United States is taking on security and political commitments that will last at least a decade and a cost that will probably eclipse that of the Iraq war.Since the invasion of Afghanistan eight years ago, the United States has

Although never very credible, Obama's claim that his plan is not a "trojan horse" for single payer - or universal - healthcare is even harder to believe after seeing this clip from a speech he gave in 2003:For those who are not familiar with Obama's healthcare plan, it is purportedly an attempt to set up a public health insurance option only for the uninsured that somehow won't interfere with

The following document published by the Center for New American Security (CNAS) seems an all-too-appropriate postscript to our previous discussions on Iraq: Rumors of Wars and Vital Interests. If the previously presented facts left any room for uncertainty, this document confirms the aforementioned conclusions and leaves no doubt as to the motives for the past, current, and future actions of the

This film, set in Afghanistan, Iraq and Washington, looks at President Bush's 'war on terror' and the 'liberation' of countries where bloodshed and repression continue. In Afghanistan, Pilger investigates the claim that life has improved for the women of Iraq now that the Taliban have gone. In Washington, he interviews leading American officials, 'neo-cons' in the Bush regime. John Bolton, of the

This 2006 documentary by John Pilger examines the reality of American foreign policy towards South and Central America."The film tells a universal story, analysing and revealing, through vivid testimony, the story of great power behind its venerable myths.

When a situation is as serious as that of the current Israeli assault on Gaza, it is only proper to demand an accurate explanation as to why it is occurring. Western media is skewed and Western governments defend Israel's actions perhaps merely issuing a hollow plea for care to be taken for civilian life.I just finished reading an article discussing the Palestinian casualties that have taken

This lecture by John Perkins is very effective at putting the Iraq War into the context of a much bigger issue: American Imperialism.

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."~George OrwellIntroduction: Asking the Hard QuestionsAfter realizing that our government purposefully misconstrued evidence and lied about intelligence in order to invade Iraq, one is inclined to ask the honest question, "What is the real motive behind this War?
