  • Not One Dime for War on Libya!

    The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have cost over $3 trillion,
    with no end in sight.
    And every single penny was charged to our uncontrolled national
    debt, even as Republicans endlessly denounced the immorality of
    that debt.
    At a time when tyrants are murdering civilians in numerous
    countries, why are we bombing Libya?
    Is it just because John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Joe
    Lieberman went on TV to demand it? Why do three TV Senators get (…)

    In the opening paragraph of my most recent Pravda.Ru article WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE (03/03/11, hereinafter WORKERS), I warned that there was “a battle going on in the United States, and it is not hyperbole to suggest that it is a battle for the very soul of the nation.”
    That battle is over;
    And America is dead:
    As a land of the free;
    As a nation of justice for all;
    As a democracy;
    As a haven for free thought and expression;
    As a bastion of human rights;
    As a government (…)

    America is not broke.
    Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you’ll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It’s just that it’s not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich.
    Today just 400 Americans have the same (…)
