Follow the Money

The Washington Post published yesterday the first of three large reports by Dana Priest and William M. Arkin on the dimensions of the gigantic U.S. apparatus of “intelligence” activities being undertaken to combat terrorist acts against the United States, such as the 9/11 attacks. To say that this activity amounts to mobilizing…

Charlottesville, Virginia
Last November, my wife Karen and I toured the Mediterranean with a group of friends, landing one day at the Great Pyramids at Giza.
It’s not those marvels of the ancient world that I remember most vividly, however, or the majesty of the Sphinx, or the sweep of the desert beyond. It’s the camel abduction.
On the way to the pyramids, our guide told us to keep a wary eye on the local peddlers. “Having someone take a…

A Cynical Distortion of Reality by a Deceitful President
I sat down at my Mac to type another of my typical tirades against
another sample of Obama's outrageous, deceitful, misleading, barely
disguised right-wingism. I got well into it when I happened to take
break and visit the World Socialist Web Site. Voila. The lead piece
for today, written by the always able Patrick Martin, had tackled
exactly what was thematic in…

article. I read both versions and preferred the longer, more scholarly
version.

In her lifetime, approximately one in three women around the world will suffer violence simply because she is a woman. Sex trafficking, rape during times of war and domestic violence are destructive forces not just for women, but for entire communities. This cannot continue.
Your legislators have the power to speak out against this systemic violence against women and rally support for innovative programs that decrease acts of violence. Their leadership could play a vital role in…

One Year vs. 18 Years for the Same Crime!
Today's newspapers are reporting an act by Obama that I see as
unconstitutional, racist, and a gross act of politicking as opposed to
fulfilling the proper role of a president. He has just signed a bill
that decrees a punishment for blacks using or selling cocaine is to be
18 times as severe as the punishment of whites for using or selling
the exact same amount of…

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in…
