Empire Wreckers

Posted on February 8, 2019 by camelotkidd

The Trump administration has segued from tragedy to comedy while unintentionally wrecking the US empire. Didn’t know we were an empire? You’re not alone. Most Americans believe the myth of American exceptionalism, where the USA is depicted as the … Continue reading →

Pity the Billionaire

Posted on January 31, 2019 by camelotkidd

If the billionaires that are presently building hidey-holes in New Zealand want to help their cause they should bring back Noblesse oblige. Seriously, they could save a lot of money, which seems to be the raison d’être for billionaires. Notice how … Continue reading →

Dark Horse

Posted on January 25, 2019 by camelotkidd

Of all the Democratic presidential hopefuls, I’m most exited about Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Democrat of Hawaii, because she has the potential to blow open the debate on US foreign policy and empire. “There’s one main issue that is central … Continue reading →

PayGo

Posted on January 17, 2019 by camelotkidd

PayGo is bad economics and bad politics, but naturally it was the first order of business for the newly elected Democratic Speaker of the House–Nancy Pelosi. Despite resistance from progressive Democrats, the House rules package for the 116th Congress will … Continue reading →

A crisis of ideologies

Posted on January 10, 2019 by camelotkidd

I find it darkly amusing that neoliberalism and neoconservatism are losing legitimacy by the day, while political leaders and the corporate media warn of the disintegration of the “western-liberal-order.” That these two ruling ideologies are imploding says a lot … Continue reading →

Hard men with guns

Posted on January 3, 2019 by camelotkidd

President Trump announced recently that US troops would be leaving Syria, setting off a firestorm of criticism across the political spectrum and echoed by the corporate media. In the middle of this barrage of negative publicity it’s useful to examine … Continue reading →

Lost their minds

Posted on December 22, 2018 by camelotkidd

Liberals have lost their minds over something Trump did. I know, big surprise. This time, what’s got them in a tizzy is Trump’s announcement that he’s pulling US troops out of Syria, where they’ve been stationed illegally as part of … Continue reading →

The Triumph of Conservatism

Posted on December 20, 2018 by camelotkidd

Classic liberalism is a formulation of ideas about human freedom, markets, and representative democracy. But in modern day America it has largely become a conservative cover for a corrupt status quo represented by neoliberal economic and neoconservative foreign policies. … Continue reading →

The target audience

Posted on December 6, 2018 by camelotkidd

Lately I’ve come to the conclusion that the really good propaganda is aimed at a liberal audience, because conservatives already (generally) agree with the message being promulgated by the corporate-media, that of favoring the interests of capital over labor, a … Continue reading →

Better villains, please

Posted on November 30, 2018 by camelotkidd

If we’re going to be an evil empire, can’t we at least have more competent villains? Take former Secretary of State, and recent unsuccessful presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. In an interview she bemoaned how the surge of immigrants to Europe … Continue reading →
