Interview with Bruce E. Levine. Levine: “There are times when human beings can become so broken that truths of how they are being victimized do not set them free. This is certainly the case for many victims of parental and spousal abuse. They are not helped by people explaining to them that they are being battered, exploited, uncared about and disrespected. They know it already and somebody pointing it out is not helpful. So, it seems to me that it is also possible that human beings can become so broken by the abuse of the corporate elite that they also are no longer set free by truth...

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

03/23/10

Among the most extraordinary powers claimed by both President Bush and President Obama as part of the post-9/11 ‘war on terrorism’ is the power to nullify — or ignore — jury verdicts of acquittal in federal criminal cases involving terrorism. Ever since the founding of the United States, it has been a fundamental principle of American criminal jurisprudence that the executive branch has the power to charge and prosecute people for criminal offenses while the judicial branch has the power to determine whether they’re guilty or not...

States’ fights

The American Conservative
by Jeff Taylor

John C. Calhoun is back with a vengeance, warming the hearts of Old South romantics while chilling the blood of modern liberals. He conjures up images both appealing and appalling: old-fashioned patriotism, partisan demagoguery, genuine fears, love of liberty. The modern Tea Party movement owes much of its inspiration to the Ron Paul campaign, the only national effort in recent years to mention the Tenth Amendment. Yet inevitably talk of nullification evokes memories of Calhoun and the Lost Cause — even though the roots of the idea run much deeper. The re-emergence of nullification — the repudiation or ignoring of a federal law by a state government — poses an interesting challenge to the power of the federal government and its monopoly on constitutional interpretation...

Carl Boggs, The Crime of Empire.

Rogue Superpower and World Domination

By Ludwig Watzal

The U. S. power elites believe in national exceptionalism, they view the country as a benevolent or benign hegemon working for democracy, human rights, and peace. The elite - politicians, media, academia, and think tanks - presents U. S. policy as pragmatic, non-ideological, furthering liberal democracy, freedom, equality, and citizen partizipation.

The Ultimate Revolution

By Case Wagenvoord

Our houses are filled with screens that divert our attention from the real world even as they paint a distorted view of that world. The problem with this ubiquity of screens is not mind control ala 1984; it is mind apathy.

Is America 'Yearning For Fascism?'

By Chris Hedges

The Democrats and their liberal apologists are so oblivious to the profound personal and economic despair sweeping through this country that they think offering unemployed people the right to keep their unemployed children on their nonexistent health care policies is a step forward.

The Health Bill Is a Bonanza for the Insurance Industry

By Bill Moyers and Michael Winship

It seems like most efforts to reform a system that's gone awry -- to clean house and make a fresh start -- end up benefiting the very people who wrecked it in the first place.

Big Government, Budget Deficits, Entitlements and the "Centrist" Ploy

By Edward S. Herman

The current prize entitlements demanding attention are Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Of course, the Social Security "entitlements" were paid for by those who are currently, or will be later, getting payments, but those surpluses were used by the political elites to fund ordinary expenses.

End the mandate

Campaign For Liberty

04/20/10

Last week I introduced a very important piece of legislation that I hope will gain as much or more support as my Audit the Fed bill. HR 4995, the End the Mandate Act will repeal provisions of the newly passed health insurance reform bill that give the government the power to force Americans to purchase government-approved health insurance...

Soldiers on Sale... Who's In Charge of These Hired Killers?

By Eric S. Margolis

Private mercenary firms like Xe (formerly Blackwater) and DynCorp have raked in fortunes running private armies for the US. They are major donors to the far right of the Republican Party. Deeply worried civil libertarians call these private armies potential Brownshirts, after the Nazi Party's private army in the late 1920's.
