Then All At Once
James Howard Kunstler: "Whatever else one thinks of how we live these days, it's hard to not see it as temporary, historically anomalous, a peculiar blip in human experience...now hardly a moment goes by when I don't feel tremors of massive change in these things, as though all life's comforts and structural certainties rested on a groaning fault line...

Barry C. Lynn's "Cornered: The New Monopoly Capitalism and Economics of Destruction"

Funding Israeli Militarism, Belligerence and Occupation
Stephen Lendman: "From birth, Israel was a regional menace until America became its benefactor in the late 1960s. Now it's a global one, powerful with a large standing army and the latest weapons and technology, nuclear armed and ready to use them.

Winter Mind Games
James Howard Kunstler: "We are left, finally, with a so-called health care system so cruel and unjust that the Devil himself in consultation with the most demonic lobbyists, and perhaps a little input from historical politicians such as Caligula, Ivan the Terrible, Heinrich Himmler, and Pol Pot could not construct a worse way of deploying the fruits of modern science...

America's Supremes: Court Over Constitution
Stephen Lendman: "The notion of "government of the people, by the people and for the people" is bogus on its face. People don't govern directly or through representatives. They are governed by the rich and well-born...It's how America always worked, including the High Court...

Global Sweatshop Wage Slavery
Stephen Lendman: "Because Transnational corporations (TNCs) are unaccountable, a dehumanized global workforce is ruthlessly exploited, denied their civil liberties, a living wage, and the right to work in dignity in healthy safe environments...In America...half or more of the nation's 22,000 garment factories are sweatshops

Rehearsals for a Civil War

American Genocides: Is Haiti Next?
Stephen Lendman: "We waged war against Native Americans, African-Americans, ordinary Americans, the poor, disadvantaged and women. Since inception, we committed "genocide," according to Howard Zinn: "brutally and purposefully....by our rulers in the name of progress, (who then buried ugly truths) in a mass of other facts, as radioactive wastes are buried in containers in the earth."

Selling Out America to Wall Street

We're Weimar
James Howard Kunstler: "As the contest heats up this year between Tea Partydom and the Weimar-like remnant of the party in power expect to see a political vortex form that will suck the little remaining coherence out of American life.
