All the perplexities confusion and distress in America arise not from defects of the Constitution, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.

-- -John Adams, in a letter to Thomas Jefferson in l787

International: Why I Gave Up My U.S. Citizenship
Posted by: IT
How I ‘Escaped America’ – Step-by-Step By Mark Nestmann \| Sovereign June 17, 2010 Have you ever been to Key West, Fla.? There’s a landmark at the corner of Whitehead and South Streets. It says in big letters: “Southernmost Point Continental USA.” Smaller letters above read: “90 miles to Cuba.” A recent trip to “Mile 0” inspired me to take a few moments to reflect on a major life decision I’d made a few years earlier: the choice to give up my U.S. citizenship.

Crude Oil: Republicans Have Big Oil in Their DNA
Posted by: IT
The two species have a natural affinity for each other. It's likely they sprang from the same genetic pool. By Jim Hightower \| Alternet Jun 30, 2010 If scientists were to compare the DNA of Republican congress-critters and of oil corporations, I'll bet they'd find that they match perfectly. After all, the two species have identical political instincts and seem to have a natural affinity for each other -- so I'm pretty sure they sprang from the same genetic pool.

Crimes Against Humanity: Israel's Deadly Attack on Peace Activists Provokes International Outrage, Diplomatic Crisis
Posted by: IT
	When Israeli commandos dropped from the sky, swarmed the vessels and massacred international activists, Israel lost a massive battle in its global public relations war. By Joshua Holland \| Alternet June 2010 Days of tension between Israel’s hawkish government and the organizers of the Freedom Flotilla carrying 700 peace activists and 10,000 tons of desperately needed supplies to Gaza culminated in grisly carnage after a deadly pre-dawn attack by Israeli commandos.

Thought Provoking: Utter Failure; It's Time to Rethink the Prison System
Posted by: IT
With 2.3 million people in America's prison system, we've literally become our own jailers. It's time to call for a compassionate -- and more effective -- judicial system. By Sylvia Clute \| Alternet, Jun 16, 2010 Our criminal justice system is based on a curious set of rules and a double moral standard. The state’s burden of proving guilt is pitted against the accused’s right to thwart such proof.

Posted by: IT

By codepink \| ALternet Jun 11, 2010 Americans who supported, organized, or were on the flotilla headed to Gaza with humanitarian aid stormed the office of U.S. Congressmen Brad Sherman and turned themselves in for their “crimes.” The stunt was in response to Sherman’s call for Americans on the flotilla be arrested for helping “terrorists.”

War: Sanctifying War
Posted by: IT
Serving the Empire, Killing for Lies. By SHELDON RICHMAN \| CP June 4 - 6, 2010 We made it through another Memorial Day. Thankfully, most people think of it as just the start of summer. They don’t seem to use it as America’s political leaders have long wanted: as a day of reverence for America’s world domination.

Politic: Who are the real "crazies" in our political culture?
Posted by: IT
	Is everyone outside of the two-party mainstream crazy, or sick lunatics? By Glenn Greenwald \| Salon May, 28 2010 One of the favorite self-affirming pastimes of establishment Democratic and Republican pundits is to mock anyone and everyone outside of the two-party mainstream as crazy, sick lunatics. That serves to bolster the two political parties as the sole arbiters of what is acceptable: anyone who meaningfully deviates from their orthodoxies are, by definition, fringe, crazy losers.

Economy: The second debt storm
Posted by: IT
	Who will bail out the countries that bailed out the world's corporations? By Alistair Barr, MarketWatch May 2010 The financial crisis never really went away. The debt mountain that brought down some of the world's biggest banks and dragged the international financial system to the brink of disaster has simply shifted to governments. Now it's threatening countries around the globe -- and, if left unchecked, could rip the very fabric of Europe's economic system and wreck economic recoveries in the U.S., China and Latin America.
