Chris Hedges: What Is Happening to Assange Will Happen to the Rest of Us

Neoliberalism’s Dark Path to Fascism, by Chris Hedges

Crucifying Julian Assange, by Chris Hedges
Assange is on his own. Each day is more difficult for him. This is by design. It is up to us to protest. We are his last hope, and the last hope, I fear, for a free press.
Your Bedside Glossary About People and Other Essentials You Need to Know
I compiled the information in the “Bedside Glossary.” Although I wrote most of it, I also cobbled together phrases here and there that came from other writers. Therefore, I am reluctant to be considered the “author” of this document. That is why my name does not appear on the glossary itself. Contact me at billmcgrath52@gmail.com. I […]

Daniel Lazare | The Scandal Hidden Behind Russia-gate
The oil monarchies have thus used their petro-wealth to create a pro-war consensus in Washington that is nearly 100-percent complete. Needless to say, this will not benefit the mass of ordinary Americans, the people who will have to fight and die in such conflicts and whose taxes will pay for them.

Giroux: At a policy level, violence drives an arms industry, a militaristic foreign policy, and is increasingly the punishing state’s major tool to enforce its hyped-up brand of domestic terrorism, especially against black youth.
David Swanson: Bern the Feel
