Iran’s unapologetic self-determination, including its ballistic missile and nuclear energy program as well its resistance to economic imperialism, make it a constant thorn in Washington’s side by Randi Nord Part 3 - Syria as a breaking point and the curious case of Yemen Syria has manifested as a breaking point for relations between Tehran and Washington. The United States launched its proxy war against Syria for a variety of reasons, one of which included replacing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with an Israeli-friendly regime. As part of warming relations with Israel, Washington’s ideal Syrian government would cease relations with Iran and cut off cooperation with Hezbollah. An email published by WikiLeaks reveals an exchange between Hillary Clinton and her aides which includes the subject line “ an interesting proposal from Bruce Riedel re: how Israel could help get Assad out of office. ”: “ Ephraim Halevy, the former head of Israel’s secret intelligenc

Foreshadowed by his roots and bottle-rocket-like rise, Barack Obama’s legacy is one of betrayal and what might have been,… From the outset, he courted and was courted by the pillars of counter-revolution, his very blackness a cloak for his Manchurian mission. by Jon Jeter Part 5 - The Mel Reynolds mold The year after Washington keeled over dead from a heart attack while working at his desk on Thanksgiving Eve of 1987, a Harvard-educated black Rhodes scholar named Mel Reynolds challenged a Washington ally, Gus Savage, for Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District, which included a swath of Chicago’s South Side lakefront. It would take Reynolds three tries to finally unseat Savage but — as Frederick Harris wrote in his 2014 book, The Price of the Ticket: Barack Obama and the Rise and Decline of Black Politics — the city’s two major daily newspapers, the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times endorsed Reynolds, as did conservative Washington Post columnist George Will.

Τι κάνεις όταν ο πατέρας των ιδιωτικοποιήσεων, Μίλτον Φρίντμαν, σου λέει ότι οι αυτοκινητόδρομοι πρέπει να μένουν πάντα υπό δημόσιο έλεγχο; Στις παραδοσιακές μητροπόλεις του καπιταλισμού, τις ΗΠΑ, τη Βρετανία και τη Γερμανία, τον υπάκουσαν. Σε κάποιες οικονομικές αποικίες τον αποκάλεσαν «σοσιαλιστή των δρόμων». του Άρη Χατζηστεφάνου Πλησιάζει μισός αιώνας από την εποχή που το γερμανικό συγκρότημα Kraftwerk παρουσίασε το θρυλικό άλμπουμ Autobahn, εμπνευσμένο σύμφωνα με αρκετούς μουσικοκριτικούς από τον περίφημο αυτοκινητόδρομο Α555. Σήμερα αρκετοί Γερμανοί θυμούνται τον Α555, που κατασκευάστηκε το 1929 όταν ήταν δήμαρχος της Κολονίας ο Κόνραντ Αντενάουερ, γιατί καταρρίπτει έναν μεταπολεμικό μύθο: ότι το περίφημο δίκτυο γερμανικών αυτοκινητόδρομων Autobahn κατασκευάστηκε από τους ναζί («ναι, αλλά έφτιαξαν δρόμους»). Στην πραγματικότητα, το μετέπειτα καμάρι της Γερμανίας οφείλει την ύπαρξή του στον δημόσιο τομέα της Δημοκρατίας της Βαϊμάρης. Ο Χίτλερ μά

Iran’s unapologetic self-determination, including its ballistic missile and nuclear energy program as well its resistance to economic imperialism, make it a constant thorn in Washington’s side by Randi Nord Part 2 - A clash of ideologies: imperialism vs. self-determination Even independent news outlets often fail to grasp the reasons behind Washington’s constant targeting of Iran — pointing simplistically to oil and gas. While resource theft has been a significant factor behind Washington’s foreign policy, it alone is not sufficient motivation to promote “regime change” for 40 years. The true conflict stems from Tehran and Washington’s differences in ideology (and no, it’s not Christianity versus Islam). It’s a conflict between imperialism and self-determination. The U.S. status as world superpower relies on its ability to exploit and manipulate competition while propping up what essentially amounts to an empire through military quests. The United States us

Foreshadowed by his roots and bottle-rocket-like rise, Barack Obama’s legacy is one of betrayal and what might have been,… From the outset, he courted and was courted by the pillars of counter-revolution, his very blackness a cloak for his Manchurian mission. by Jon Jeter Part 4 - The Empire fights back The assassination of Martin Luther King, coupled with the twilight of American industry’s global dominance, ratcheted up both working class militancy, and the elites’ crackdown on it. Mineworkers in Appalachia and autoworkers in Detroit were fighting to reclaim their trade unions from a reactionary leadership that was in bed with management; communists were on the march in North Carolina, Black Panthers in Oakland; militant white college students protested the war in Berkeley, and black parents and teachers fought for community control of their school curriculums in Brooklyn.
