The subject is a tete a tete between MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, one of the wiliest operators at MSNBC, and Glenn Greenwald on the question of NSA’s unwarranted surveillance powers. What makes this video different is that the exchange is analyzed, almost blow-by-blow, by a team of libertarians affiliated with the School Sucks Project, an initiative we are neither implicitly endorsing nor disavowing at this time, as we need more information to take an educated position.

This plutocrat typifies the shameless treachery of Obama’s party. Who needs enemies with “friends” like these? No sooner had they learned Edward Snowden’s name, than bipartisan supporters of the National Security State proceeded to vilify him. “The congressional double cross only serves to confirm that once again there is unanimity in Washington about how best to screw the people.” Continue reading » Did you like this?

But wait, it wasn’t OK when Bush did it. What utter hypocrisy. “I can assure you, this is not about spying on the American people.” Senator Al Franken (D-MN), June 11 by Aaron Landry What a total bullshit artist! When it was Bush spying on emails and secretly eavesdropping on citizens, Franken and others were outraged. Now that it’s a Democratic president, well, damn, it’s all good. Spy away NSA.

But where are they? What happened to trade unions, the green movement, human rights groups, campaigning newspapers, peace activists, strong-minded academics, progressive voices? We are awash in state and corporate propaganda, with the ‘liberal’ media a key cog in the apparatus. We are hemmed in by the powerful forces of greed, profit and control. We are struggling to get by, never mind flourish as human beings. We are subject to increasingly insecure, poorly-paid and unfulfilling employment, the slashing of the welfare system, the privatisation of the National Health Service, the erosion of civil rights, and even the criminalisation of protest and dissent.

Friday night on Bill Maher’s “Real Time,” Guardian columnist and former civil rights litigator Glenn Greenwald attacked the view that Islam is a “uniquely” threatening force in the world and that Muslims should be deprived of the benefits of the classical liberal values that many groups in the West have struggled to make into policy since the 18th-century Enlightenment.

That’s the kind of “center” that constitutes the worst obstacle to making progress on the left. Following release of the results of a recent Fairleigh Dickinson University poll showing 29% of registered voters in the U.S. believe armed revolution to ‘protect liberties’ may be necessary the self-appointed political ‘center’ went into full conniption in defense of the established order. Visions of shotgun wielding Tea Partiers were trotted out, racists no doubt, storming the Capitol to roll back the radical progress President Barack Obama and a blameless Congress have made to save ‘our fledgling democracy’ from the predations of empire, the corrupting influence of money in politics, the growing and conspicuous divide between haves and have-nots, the murderous militarism of the war industry and the oppressive machinations of a militarized police. Accurate descriptions of official policies to which the citizenry might legitimately object were prominent in their absence. Continue reading » Did you like this? Share it:

Lisa L. Williams is typical of this morally squalid lot. by Randy Shields One of the great things about America is that it’s easy to be psychic here. This is the land of psychic opportunity. Anyone can hang out a shingle and predict the future. Anyone can read a palm that’s greased. If you want to know what’s going to happen next in America, all you have to do is ask yourself: what’s the most outrageous, ironic, perverted and soul-crushing thing that can happen in any given situation? Whatever that thing is, that’s what will happen. And you won’t have to wait long to see your prediction come true. Continue reading » Did you like this? Share it:
