The bleaker things seem,
the closer to liberation we come
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: The fascist regime that has controlled the US for many decades now has already ignited World War III, but like a fire started in oily rags, for a while it just smolders and smokes. The rest of the world would be fighting back with full force were it not for the specter of nuclear terror wielded by the US and Israel. |
Zimbabwe, a no-win situation?
by Marie K., Unknown News| |
Excerpt: When you go looking beyond the simplistic mainstream media headlines, you ALWAYS find complexity ... |

We know who did this to America
by Leon Fisher, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: This time the debacle cannot be blamed on a bearded man living in a cave in Afghanistan, but on the voracious greed of Capitalism, whose clean-shaven, smartly dressed devotees have systematically stolen everything not nailed down, and are trying to rent and lease everything else, including America's highways, bridges, ports, etc, — all built and paid for long ago with taxpayer dollars. Where this situation goes and when it ends no-one can say, but one thing is certain: We know who caused it and we should not let them get away with it. |

No news on the cable "news" shows
by Mahdi Abdul Finkelstein, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Half of America is either underwater or on fire or broke, living in their cars and under bridges. The U.S. is a disaster zone and still the cable TV "news" is spending hours and hours and hours giving us partisan opinions instead of actual news. |
A society of the destitute
by Chris D., Unknown News| |
Excerpt: What strength does a society of the destitute have? How does having a billion people with no money and ten with all the money in the country help society at large? Why are those who amass great amounts of wealth praised while those who scrape by are being admonished or blamed outright for their situation? What will become of us if we continue to stagnate like this? |

Manufacturing scarcity and famine
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Now we call it by fancy names like global capitalism, the Chicago school, privatization, "rationalizing the world economy" and structural readjustment, but all this verbiage is just massively financed propaganda to put a confusing face on the resurgence of criminally depraved greed. |
I thought we would all die when something like this happened
by Kathy Fisher, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: It's cold at first, they think it's ash, but as it touches their skin they can feel and see it's black snow. It begins to melt right away as it touches their skin. One person yells out ''Its snowing in August, what's going on?'' |

Who is the master?
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Cynics will say that self-interest will provide the handle to keep us enslaved. I think the cynics are wrong, especially the ones in the pay of the plutocrats to spread defeatism and resignation amongst the people. People CAN wake up from the self-destructive trance that has been induced by the mass media and lying politicians. When we do wake we are an irresistible force. |
How the ER works
by Zachariah Norman, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: If hospitals are the mob they're doing a crap job -- hospitals are closing all around the country for lack of money. There is a real healthcare crisis in this country and it comes down to the way we fund healthcare and the way our legal system treats health care. It isn't from a bunch of mean old doctors trying to nickel and dime old ladies to death. |
Predatory capitalism eats medicine alive
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: The really chilling thing to me is the successful indoctrination of the categories of "patient," "insured" and "case" as creating this sort of us/them barrier that allows denial of the fact of criminal mistreatment. Serial murders at a hospital become a quality of service issue rather than a legal one. Such concepts as "clinical judgement" and "scientific controversy" are marshaled to support treatment that the physician would not submit their mother to (hopefully). |

Hospitals' criminal conduct
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: The provision of medical care in the US has become both a matter of gave physical danger (health care is recognized as one of the top causes of death in the US) and financial disaster. Medicare, and insurance in general, create the conditions for this sort of phantasmagoric crime wave by being able to use their power to transfer costs away from those they cover to the weakest, the uninsured and underinsured, who now amount to almost half of the population. |

Medicine is the modern mob
by G.B., Unknown News| |
Excerpt: I had (and still have) no insurance, and I was naïvely expecting to pay hundreds, perhaps more than a thousand dollars for that ER visit. Instead the multiple bills added up to more than $7,500. |
Warnings for progressives/liberals
by Marie K., Unknown News| |
Excerpt: That is just the sort of country the US government will choose to "divide and conquer" -- if they don’t just directly invade the country. The article says that one or the other or both have been done in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, China (Tibet), Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Somalia, Sudan, Burma (Myanmar), and Palestine -- these are the ones just since 2000. |

The greatest screwjob ever
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Unlike your usual amoral corrupt corporate chieftains, these crooks have the FBI, the CIA, and all the rest of the alphabet of Federal enforcement organizations, taking orders from them to look the other way while they rob us and countless generations to come of every last thing of value in the country, including our self respect. |

A 'Manhattan Project' for energy alternatives
by Juan P., Unknown News| |
Excerpt: We need windmills, nuclear reactors, coal mining, drilling in ANWR and at the beach, yada yada. If we do not do these things then our economy is going to suffer horribly in ten years, if not before. At the very least individuals should begin the process of acquiring solar panels even if the panels are not connected to the grid and just charge batteries. The difference between a little bit of power and zero is monumental. You're gonna want at least lights and a computer when the grid goes dark. |
Yes, Capitalism has succeeded!
by Leon Fisher, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Yes, Capitalism has succeeded! It has succeeded in destroying organized labor and the American workplace. It has succeeded in destroying the American dream of home ownership. It has succeeded in destroying the living standards of millions of American families. It has succeeded in ruining the economic well being of the entire Nation for the profit of a very few. Yes, it has once again succeeded in giving us another Great Depression. |

Not more and better, rather less and sufficient
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: On the up side, this will all soon collapse and we will be thrown back on our own resources to survive with what is left in the debris left over from this latest psychotic episode of the powerful. If we can learn from our mistakes we will have the opportunity to build a much better world. |

Debunking the myth of America
by Pavel C., Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Americans are just people. We are not "special". We are not more courageous, more virtuous, more right, more honorable, or even better fighters than people in the rest of the world. And we sure aren't any smarter. We are just a gang of people who overran the last-discovered continent on Planet Earth and stripped it bare as quickly as we possibly could. Our mighty endowment of untapped natural resources convinced us of the truth of the myths we created about ourselves. |

Media's coverage of "dry drowning" death was irresponsible
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Part of what pediatricians call "anticipatory guidance" involves warning parents about the dangers of water, the need for very close supervision, and certainly avoiding sending children who have no experience with water swimming. I suspect that this warning was never delivered to this family, as competent, well-trained pediatric care is becoming nearly as rare as competent, ethical journalism. |
Things could get much better lickity-split
by JR Mooneyham, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Folks, once we get the crazy people out of the White House and Congress, and re-attach a leash to Israel moneywise, plus put an end to all the warmongering, lots of things could get much better lickity-split. |

Are those Hillary supporters for real?
by Aunt Clara, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: More and more I'm hearing really sheer stupidity from people who identify themselves as "Hillary supporters". They're so heartbroken or angry that Hillary didn't win the Democratic nomination, they're talking about voting for John McCain instead. Can you believe that? |
Scenes from a group Presidency
by JR Mooneyham, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: And lots of things simply cannot be done by a single person, anyway. No matter how expert or strong or fast they are. Or given all the time in the world. One is not just the loneliest number; it's the most helpless, too. |

Coping with people who are bummers
by J.P. Smokem, Stoners' Daily| |
Excerpt: Knowing the difference between assholery and sociopathic behavior is essential, and once you begin to recognize the patterns you will be able to steer clear of most bummers in your daily life. |
The adventures of
Don Bush and Sancho Bernanke
by Mahdi Abdul Finkelstein, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: A global consensus and coordinated action plan is needed, but that cannot happen with the Bush Regime in office, for the Bushies are global military aggressors and human rights violators on a massive scale.
The rest of the world seems perfectly OK with allowing them to self-destruct, even at the expense of a million Iraqis and slow-motion genocide of out of favor groups of brown people. A bit of global inflation seems like a small price to pay, and far cheaper than the military alternative, to force American regime change. |

Fakery
by Peter K. Sharpen, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: I am forced to lived with the fake because there is no place elsewhere to go, except my own way as far as possible without the fakery that surrounds me. Most of it I can ignore if I am not available to popular media. The unpopular media I can indulge in as far as I want, then I can just laugh it off. If the worst happens, I have the necessary survival skills, or I am decimated in an instant, amen. |
The big picture
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Scientific research has revealed that ours is a social species evolutionarily determined by a strategy of cooperation and mutual care, rather than by the ruthless competition that we are now witnessing. The social Darwinist view subscribed to by the dominant elite of the world is not scientific. It is merely self serving propaganda in pursuit of privilege. |

Soon I'll be dead
by Grandpa, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Everything I ever believed in has been completely trashed and the traitors who did this to America are laughing as they get away with it all. But on the bright side pretty soon I'll be dead, and make my way out of here. I'll get to escape the ugliness they've built where the United States of America used to be. You poor suckers are stuck here. |

by Hazel Burke, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Drugs sold in America that are "legal" have been known for years to have dangerous and deadly components, and the FDA has done jackshit about it. |
