Is the Fourth Estate a Fifth Column?

Bill Moyers, from an adaptation of his keynote address at the National Conference for Media Reform, writes for In These Times: "Democracy without honest information creates the illusion of popular consent at the same time that it enhances the power of the state and the privileged interests that the state protects. And nothing characterizes corporate media today more than its disdain toward the fragile nature of modern life and its indifference toward the complex social debate required of a free and self-governing people."

US Environmental Agency Lowers Value of a Human Life

The Guardian UK reports: "It sounds like a spot of gallows humour, but the numbers are no joke: the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has lowered the value of a human life by nearly $1 million under George Bush's administration. The EPA's estimate of the 'value of a statistical life' was $6.9 million as of this May - down from $7.8 million five years ago - according to an Associated Press study released today."

Is There an Oil Shortage?

By Ismael Hossein-zadeh

Why would our Energy Secretary say there's a supply and demand problem when none exists? Why would he say that speculators have little or nothing to do with the incredibly high price of oil and gasoline, when it's clear they do? President Bush-a former oilman-gives the ever-growing demand for gasoline as the primary reason prices are so high, yet that notion can be dispelled with one minute of research.

Like shoot’n fish in a barrel

The Libertarian Enterprise
by Robert Jackman

07/14/08

Last article, I broached the concept that there is no shortage of fuel or protein, save for a lack of distillation capacity in America Norte. Even if Oil were running out, which I suspect it is not, but, we will never get Big Oil to provide more since they haven’t enough competition to ‘move’ them to provide the service we should expect. For literal Mills on the Dollar, they have managed that MSM news which they own and promoted the false notion that we are screwed and must sacrifice more and more troops to go forth and steal other’s resources. It didn’t work for Spain or Rome and it won’t bloody work for us either...

The jig is up, the game is over, no more rebates, gimmicks, tax cuts or hollow promises

The Seething

By David Glenn Cox

The bulk of the American people are struggling to make it now and what happens when they reach the tipping point and no longer can? The jig is up, the game is over, no more rebates, gimmicks, tax cuts or hollow promises. The seething is just the beginning. It is the job of the government to insure domestic tranquility.

The Problem Of Patriotism

By James Rothenberg

Race, sex, and religion do not demand your loyalty but your country does. Your village or town doesn't. Your city doesn't. The state you live in doesn't. New York and California don't care if you are loyal to them. What's the difference? Armed force. Uncle Sam needs you. To fight.
