  • USA - We’ve Had The Debtbacle, And Everything Nasty Before it, So Now What Do We
    4 August 2011 par Dan Stafford (Open-Publishing)

    The first thing that we need to do as a people is stop abdicating the most basic office of our government - the Precinct Representative - and take back control of the local party organizations.
    People think "I just can’t do any more, I’m too tired and stressed-out." Or they think that all politics is a dirty game full of slimy people. That’s because good people have abdicated their responsibility in our democracy by letting the most basic party office go mostly unfilled.
    Simply-put, if (…)

  • Who Are the Tea Party Patriots
    6 March 2011 par (Open-Publishing)

    Most people only see the public faces of the Tea Party Patriots: those doing televison interviews, appearing on the covers of magazines, waving from the steps of private jets at political rallies, and who spend the millions of dollars in tax-free donations they have raised; but who are the 15 million “patriots” who actually attend the thousands of local tea parties across the heartland of America? Answers were sought at the TPP’s American Policy Summit held during the last week of February (…)

  • Rebooting Resistance
    16 December 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    Come, then, those of us who care about ending oppression. Reject the inhumanity of the right wing; the ignorance of the Tea-Party; the ineffectiveness of the left wing; the lies of liberals and libertarians; the greed of imperialists and royalists; and the abuses of religions. Now leave them all behind. A possible better world is long overdue.
    Let us not attempt to recreate or reform systems of empire and globalization. This tired planet cannot survive the games that the greedy play. (…)

  • Voter Empowerment - Not a New Party
    24 November 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    If nothing else, the election of 2010 has taught us that a “third” political party is not the answer. Like the two existing major parties, it too would simply become another political commodity to be purchased by the corporations and wealthy elite for their own purposes, rather than serving the interests of ordinary voters. Political salvation will come when the voters of every party decide to exercise, rather than dissipate, their power.
    Political parties have been around ever since the (…)

  • Australia’s hung Parliament forshadows Afghan War Debate - yet "The Age" already censors the Awful Truth
    5 September 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    With the hung Parliament result in the recent Australian Federal Election a major crack has appeared in the US Alliance edifice of lies, propaganda and deception over 9-11, the War on Terror and the horrendously deadly, 8 million-victim wars of occupation still being waged in Occupied Iraq, Occupied Afghanistan (and elsewhere).
    With 72 seats for Labor (the Labs) , 73 seats for the Liberal-National Party Coalition (the Libs), 1 Green seat, 1 Greenish independent (Andrew Wilkie) and 3 right (…)

  • LIBERTARIAN-SOCIALISM: AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME
    24 April 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
    4 comments

    Ever since the passage of the health care reform bill in America, many so-called “tea-partiers” and their supporters have been stoking the fear that this new law has somehow created a “slippery slope” that will culminate in the destruction of the Constitution, and the ascendancy of a “socialist” government.
    For those unfamiliar with the terminology, the “slippery slope” argument is analogous to a snowball rolling down a mountainside: the more it rolls the more snow it collects and the (…)

  • Video: Ralph Nader: “Why Aren’t Corporate Crimes Prosecuted?”
    22 April 2010 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    On April 20, 2010, author and political gadfly Ralph Nader gave a lecture at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), in Baltimore, MD. He spoke before a near capacity audience for over an hour. Mr. Nader said corporate crimes, as opposed to “street crimes,” go mostly under-reported by the establishment media in the U.S. and are “rarely prosecuted.” He detailed how corporate “misbehavior, negligence and crimes” cost thousands of deaths every year in the country from “preventable” (…)

  • Video: Ralph Nader: Corporation Loyalty is to the Dollar Sign!
    21 April 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    On April 20, 2010, author and political gadfly Ralph Nader gave a lecture at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), in Baltimore, MD. He spoke before a near capacity audience for over an hour. Mr. Nader spotlighted corporate power and abuses in the U.S., and how AIG, the insurance titan, is the biggest recipient of “welfare—$182 Billion!” He showed how the workers in Western Europe have long had splendid social programs, like: “universal health insurance,” that are regularly denied (…)

  • A Mad Tea Party
    20 April 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    There are good reasons why the tea partyers are mad; however, their solutions are equally mad.
    The movement is being joined by independents, republicans, and democrats who have come to believe their government has failed them and that neither political party is doing anything to fix it. This is true; however, all of us are being manipulated by the big corporations and the wealthy elite, who use their corporate-owned, mainstream media to mislead the people into acting against their own (…)
