Infuriating Report Shows How Govt And Big Pharma Intentionally Break Laws To Reap Massive Profit

With the “Affordable Care Act” now fully in place, the middle class is feeling the squeeze yet again through higher insurance costs, making quality health care unaffordable for many. On top of that, pharmaceutical drug prices continue to increase, especially cancer drugs which have skyrocketed. Since 2000, the average monthly cost of oral cancer drugs went from $1,869 per month to $11,325 per month. …

Prof. Francis A. Boyle – “We Came! We Saw! He Died!”: Reflections On Libya

I have unique experience in Libya. To the best of my knowledge, during the 1980s I was perhaps the only American professor to spend a significant amount of time in Libya because of the serial armed hostilities and the imposition of draconian travel prohibitions and economic sanctions inflicted by the Reagan administration. I spent a sum total of four weeks in …

Any man(or nation) who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle. –– Alexander Solzhenitsyn So it seems that all the Republicans running for president (and their supporters) are ignorant about the root causes of “radicalization” and …

Chris Hedges – Local Resistance Can Overthrow Our Political Masters

SANTA ANA, Calif.—All resistance will be local. We will have to dismantle the corporate state, piece by piece, from the ground up. No leader or politician is going to do it for us.

Christian Christensen – Trump is Global Journalism’s American Junk Food

He’s everywhere. Spray-tanned face and white teeth exploding through the front pages of newspapers and magazines. Implausible hair mesmerizing on Twitter and Facebook. Comments on female journalists and illegal Mexican immigrants echoing across the ether. It is likely that Donald Trump will be nothing more than an ephemeral political phenomenon, but he is still a phenomenon. Politically divisive at home, …
