Iran: Progressive Media Lost the Plot

Wednesday, 24 June 2009 8:59 A GMT+01

How did the progressive media get it so wrong about Iran? Their stance was indistinguishable from mass-media pro-Mousavi propaganda. We analyze in detail the response of The Nation, the self-styled voice of progressive politics.

Mousavi & His Laughable "Liberation" Movement

Friday, 19 June 2009 9:11 A GMT+01

Mousavi, the so-called reformist [more like recycled] candidate has lodged a two-page complaint with the powerful Guardians Council, seeking an annulment of the result. On the basis of what he has presented, he is unlikely to get his way.

Obama: The US Should Not "Be Seen" As Meddling in Iran

Friday, 19 June 2009 9:05 A GMT+01

Obama made one unintentionally revealing statement on Iran. “It’s not productive, given the history of the US-Iranian relationship, to be seen as meddling.” In other words, it's all right to meddle, so long as one is not seen to meddle.

Like Hitler, Obama Is a Charismatic Leader

Thursday, 11 June 2009 9:01 A GMT+01

Hitler addressed a Germany still reeling with humiliation from being defeated in the First World War, with huge losses of its young men, still being punished by the world for its militarism. Hitler, like Obama, came across as a visionary leader.

Obama's "Preventive Detention" Means Buried Alive

Friday, 5 June 2009 8:21 A GMT+01

Obama reveals himself to be even more dangerous than his predecessor. In a few short months he has destroyed the great hope that he raised in so many people. The news of his "Preventive Detention" ... or "Indefinite Detention" underlines that.

Real Nationalization: Turn the Auto Industry into a Public Utility

Wednesday, 3 June 2009 8:51 A GMT+01

We oppose the government’s plans to exploit the crisis to create new conditions for the exploitation of the working class. There should be genuine nationalization of the auto industry and its conversion into a public utility.

Obama Has Neutered the Political Left

Tuesday, 2 June 2009 8:51 A GMT+01

There's no popular left movement that agitates for Obama to go well beyond where he would even ideally like to go. There's no movement that stirs up trouble. Instead, what exists of a popular left is either incapable of action or in Obama's pocket.

Democrats for Empire, Inequality & Corporate-Managed Democracy

Tuesday, 2 June 2009 8:47 A GMT+01

When they hold top offices and run the White House, Democrats find it easier to deceptively and co-optively pose as the "party of the people" and a progressive alternative to corporate-imperial rule (and the Republicans) when they are out of power.

United American Socialist Republic?

Tuesday, 2 June 2009 8:46 A GMT+01

As capitalism's high priests and policymakers have scrapped more than three decades of neoliberal orthodoxy to save the profits system, "socialism" has moved into the nation's mainstream political discourse for the first time in a generation.

"Star Trek" - To Boldy Go [American Imperialism]

Monday, 1 June 2009 8:49 A GMT+01

Metaphors for US imperialism, like "Star Trek", appeal only during a certain kind of rise in the power of American hegemony. I had hoped the film would make empire Obama-style happen. But that's an illusion. Hope turns aggression into 'good wars.'

The Fundamental Division in America Isn't Race or Gender...It's Class

Friday, 29 May 2009 8:49 A GMT+01

The Democratic Party became the principal vehicle for peddling the politics of race and gender, recruiting a layer of black, female and Hispanic politicians who engage in populist demagogy that uses race and gender to deny underlying class tensions.

John Pilger: The Culture of Corruption in UK Politics

Friday, 29 May 2009 8:45 A GMT+01

Something is changing in Britain that gives cause for optimism. The British people have probably never been more politically aware and prepared to clear out decrepit myths and other rubbish while stepping angrily over the babbling brook of bullshit.

American Racism: Locking Up "Terrorists" for Life

Thursday, 28 May 2009 9:07 A GMT+01

The US was founded on the principle that "lesser" or "dangerous" peoples should be "detained" for the good of the nation - on reservations or in slavery. today it's rampant race hatred directed against Arabs and spilling over to all Muslims.

Obama & North Korea: The Pot Calls the Kettle Black

Thursday, 28 May 2009 9:06 A GMT+01

Obama said, “North Korea’s nuclear ballistic missile programs pose a great threat to the peace and security of the world and I strongly condemn their reckless action.” Hang on a minute. What about the US’s nuclear ballistic missiles?

Obama's Domination Fetish

Wednesday, 27 May 2009 8:39 A GMT+01

Obama told graduates at the U.S. Naval Academy that of all of his roles as president, the one he loved most was that of commander-in-chief. “We will maintain America’s military dominance and keep you the fiercest warriors the world has ever seen.”

Let the Foreigners Torture Our Terrorists

Wednesday, 27 May 2009 8:38 A GMT+01

Our dear leader, the 'progressive' president. is re-embracing traditional American values in foreign policy: letting foreigners torture and terrorize our captives, rather than dirtying our own dainty hands. Well done! Sweep the shit under the mat.

Is Obama a Socialist? Is the Pope a Pederast?

Wednesday, 27 May 2009 8:36 A GMT+01

If you ask Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck, Americans put a socialist into the White House when they elected Barack Obama president last November. Obama denies his secret socialistic leanings, and there's good reason to believe him. He's hardly a radical.

Obama's Notre Dame 'Sermon' - Spineless & Reactionary

Sunday, 24 May 2009 9:10 A GMT+01

What was on display wasn't Obama’s religious convictions - which are as flexible as all his other convictions - but definite political calculations. His every move is intended to accommodate and cultivate the most reactionary social forces.

Noam Chomsky: America's Long History of Using Torture

Thursday, 21 May 2009 10:23 A GMT+01

Torture has been routinely practiced from the early days of the conquest of the national territory, and continued to be used as the imperial ventures of the "infant empire" - as George Washington called the new republic.
