Destroying Indigenous Populations

by Dahr Jamail

The Fort Laramie Treaty once guaranteed the Sioux Nation the right to a large area of their original land, which spanned several states and included their sacred Black Hills, where they were to have "the absolute and undisturbed use and occupation" of the land.

However, when gold was discovered in the Black Hills, President Ulysses S. Grant told the army to look the other way in order to allow gold miners to enter the territory. After repeated violations of… Continue

Will the real Wikileaks please stand up.

From the infamous “Collateral Murder” video leak, through to the Afghanistan and then Iraq cache of files released, US authorities have been whacking on about the terrible peril this puts US service people in.

The Great Haitian Genocide of 2010, or, Why & How To Kill A Nation !

As the death toll raises beyond 1000 and the cholera has now spread to Dominica, reports from CNN yesterday were still using the term "Allegation" when discussing the source of the outbreak. This to try and implant the idea that it is all merly conjectured rumours with nothing proven or substantiated, just some poor haitians going insane due to all the "bad luck" this year. There is no such thing as luck...or chance....or accidents. Especially for… Continue

The Missing Link in the Evolution of Barack Obama

One of the problems with the idea of "American exceptionalism" is that it exacerbates a kind of complacency common to man. This is the phenomenon whereby people often view themselves as exceptions -- saying, after some tragedy, for instance, something such as "I never thought it could happen to me."

On a national level -- and… Continue

North American Integration Back on the Front Burner‏‏

In the last year, the bilateral process has been the primary means used to advance North American integration, which has drawn little attention. With the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) seemingly stalled after being exposed and discredited, the U.S. channelled trilateral negotiations to parallel bilateral discussions with both Canada and Mexico.

How to Cultivate a Food Crisis

Buried beneath the avalanche of press coverage about the lame-duck Congress, I found a story about President Obama’s mid-December meeting with twenty corporate CEOs. The purpose of this Blair House get-together was to discuss how to jump-start our still-ailing economy. Among other aims, Mr. Obama reiterated his goals to increase employment, end the recession, and double U.S. exports over the next five years.

These are lofty and laudable ambitions. But it seems that…
