The Saker Interviews Paul Craig Roberts about Russia, the Deep State and the Global Economy In a wide ranging interview Paul Craig Roberts, American economist and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration, says: "The US is ruled by private interest groups and by the neoconservative ideology that History has chosen the US as the “exceptional and indispensable” country with the right and responsibility to impose its will on the world." Noam Chomsky on the Roots of American Racism We also cannot allow ourselves to forget that the hideous slave labor camps of the new “empire of liberty” were a primary source for the wealth and privilege of American society, as well as England and the continent. The industrial revolution was based on cotton, produced primarily in the slave labor camps of the United States. Slavery’s Enduring Resonance By Edward Ball In place of the rural incarceration of four million black people, we have the mass incarceration of one million black men. In place of laws that prohibited black literacy throughout the South, we have campaigns by Tea Party and anti-tax fanatics to defund public schools within certain ZIP codes. And we have stop-and-search policing, and frequently much worse, in place of the slave patrols. Iran squashes IS, US scrambles for cover by M K Bhadrakumar Tehran alleges, on the other hand, that the US is actually dissimulating when it claims it is fighting the IS, and that in reality Washington has a nuanced approach that anticipates a future role for the IS as an instrument in its regional strategies. The Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian literally ridiculed the US claims of fighting the IS, when he alleged in a speech in Tehran on Monday, “The US has created the anti-ISIL coalition with the participation of 60 countries, but the coalition’s main practical measure is confined to controlling and administering the ISIL.” Malcolm X Was Right About America by Chris Hedges “We’re anti-evil, anti-oppression, anti-lynching,” Malcolm said. “You can’t be anti- those things unless you’re also anti- the oppressor and the lyncher. You can’t be anti-slavery and pro-slavemaster; you can’t be anti-crime and pro-criminal. In fact, Mr. Muhammad teaches that if the present generation of whites would study their own race in the light of true history, they would be anti-white themselves.” “If you are an American citizen,” Baldwin remembered Malcolm asking the young man, “why have you got to fight for your rights as a citizen? To be a citizen means that you have the rights of a citizen. If you haven’t got the rights of a citizen, then you’re not a citizen.” “The price of freedom,” Malcolm said shortly before he was killed, “is death.” Haiti: Time for Bill Clinton and Co to Pack and Go by Dady Chery Clinton saw in the earthquake of 2010 his opportunity to become the new US High Commissioner of Haiti....Within four months of the earthquake, he formed the Interim Commission for the Reconstruction of Haiti (CIRH): a strictly pay-to-play group of officials/rich businessmen from the MINUSTAH countries and others who agreed to contribute armed personnel from their countries or money (at least $100 million in a two-year period, or erasure of over $200 million in debt) in return for a piece of the action in Haiti. Bilderberg vs. Putin by Joyce Nelson Contrary to... recent assertion that the escalating crisis between the U.S. and Russia “all began…in Yalta in September 2013,”... we actually need to go back a bit further to the May 2012 Bilderberg meeting in Chantilly, Virginia. Libya: Be careful what you wish for by Brian Cloughley "...in February, immediately after Gaddafi's hint of nationalization of Libya's oil resources, there was an uprising by rebels who wanted to overthrow him and on March 17 the UN Security Council established a "no-fly zone" in Libya "to take all necessary measures to protect civilians under threat of attack in the country." |
