Don’t get me wrong, I love the peace movement. I especially like the upcoming End US Wars rally in Washington, DC December 12th: http://www.enduswars.org/ . But a lot of the white, middle-class people in the peace movement have a great big blind spot. Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man describes a black man who is socially invisible in the white world. Splitting-the-Sky, the native American peace-and-justice warrior who is putting George Bush on trial in an act of civil resistance, seems to be equally invisible to much of the white, middle-class peace movement. This guy should be getting the kind of publicity…

Since when did warmonger presidents start getting Nobel Peace Prizes? Since 9/11. Since when did America start staging Stalinist show trials? Since 9/11. Since when did American public universities blacklist people like Steven Jones and myself for pursuing “subversive” research? Since 9/11. Since when did the USA wage multiple simultaneous wars of naked aggression, in defiance of international law? Since 9/11. Since when did the international banksters think they could openly steal $26 trillion from the taxpayers and get away with it? Since 9/11. Since when did extremist Israeli Likudniks gain a complete lock over all three branches of the…

May his truth-telling outweigh his sins on judgment day. A Thanksgiving Prayer by William S. Burroughs I once asked Burroughs about the eerie resemblance between the mind-control spooks in his books and CIA programs like MK Ultra and Operation Artichoke. Did he know about those programs back in the early 60’s, when they were still secret? He replied in that slow, enigmatic, slightly scornful monotone drawl: “Most of these ‘secrets’ are not really so secret.” If he were alive today, he’d say the same thing about Operation 9/11.

Many people whose time really IS valuable are happy to join me on my radio shows.  These folks include regular guest Lynn Margulis, one of the most important scientists of the century (next appearance December 5th); John Cobb, one of the world’s leading theologians; Richard Falk, a top international law expert who is very busy these days as the U.N.’s Special Rapporteur for Palestine; William Pepper and Francis Boyle, two other first-rank international law experts; critical 9/11 scholars David Ray Griffin, Richard Gage, Webster Tarpley, and many more; bestselling authors including John Perkins, Steve Alten, Jesse Ventura; a very long…

Webster Tarpley will return to my radio show  Tuesday, December 15th, to discuss his important article Major Hasan of Ft. Hood: Patsy in a Drill Gone Live?, his diagnosis of expanding US false-flag bombings in Pakistan, and the question of whether all of this portends the long-awaited 911-2B. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Y9Hl2TyC4 Historian Webster Tarpley talks with Dina Gusovsky of Russia Today in Washington DC about very plausible Taliban charges that the CIA and Blackwater are behind the recent bombing atrocity in Peshawar, Pakistan. This attack is coherent with the US policy of provoking all-out civil war in Pakistan to break up that…

From Asia Times: “The other regional players [read China] are busily setting the stage for exploitation of Afghanistan’s natural resources, while the US remains bogged down with the war. This should change,” (former CIA Pakistan Station Chief Milton) Bearden said (to the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee). Two weeks ago, when the Associated Press broke the story, it quoted leading American think-tanker and author, Robert Kaplan, “The world isn’t fair. A worse outcome to staying and helping the Chinese would be withdrawing and losing a great battle in the war against radical Islam.” Here we have two clashing views: the…
