If you watch CNBC and other such channels talking about the economy, they continually talk as if the stock market is the economy; this is phony as a $3.00 dollar bill.

The Enduring Power of Machiavellian Political Science!

By Zahir Ebrahim

From Huxley to Orwell to Russell to Strauss to his mistress Ayn Rand, all have not been merely prescient, but rather have explained the actual blueprint of the future reality of totalitarian scientific dictatorships where commonsense is replaced by zerosense, and moralsense by secular-humanism!

Ill Fares the Land

By Tony Judt

Something is profoundly wrong with the way we live today. For thirty years we have made a virtue out of the pursuit of material self-interest: indeed, this very pursuit now constitutes whatever remains of our sense of collective purpose. We know what things cost but have no idea what they are worth. We no longer ask of a judicial ruling or a legislative act: Is it good? Is it fair? Is it just? Is it right?

Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III, Truthout: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently released employment data for March.

Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 162,000 and the unemployment rate held steady at 9.7 percent. According to Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, 'The US economy has "turned the corner," but it will still take up to five years to regain all the jobs lost since the economic collapse.'"

Joe Conason, Truthout: "If there is any subject that enrages those who now call themselves conservatives, it is federal spending - and especially the stimulus program enacted by the Democratic administration and Congress last year. The government can do nothing right, they say. The stimulus was pure waste that created no jobs at all. The country would be better off without Washington taxing and spending at all."

Iraq: Seven Years of Occupation

Raed Jarrar, Truthout: "On April 9, 2003, exactly seven years ago, Baghdad fell under the US-led occupation. Baghdad did not fall in 21 days, though; it fell after 13 years of wars, bombings and economic sanctions. Millions of Iraqis, including myself, watched our country die slowly before our eyes in those 13 years. So, when the invasion started in March of 2003, everyone knew it was the straw that would break the camel's back."

The U.S. Military Faces Psychiatric Death Threat

by Shane Ellison, M. Sc

Chad was a Marine Scout Sniper who served two tours in Iraq. Upon being honorably discharged as a Sgt. in 2007, he “summoned the courage” to ask for therapy in dealing with the images and emotions that gnawed on him from being dropped into combat. Like so many of his peers, therapy was bypassed for “meds.” Similar to fighting in Fallujah and Ramadi, he never expected that his life would be threatened by psychiatric drugs......
