Propagandized

Crackpot Centrism

Posted on November 15, 2017 by camelotkidd

I’m smitten. Caitlin Johnstone is my new favorite blogger. She’s smart, funny and absolutely fearless. She also writes about the things I’m most interested in–political/economy, foreign policy, and media manipulation.

The Axis of Stupid

Posted on September 21, 2017 by camelotkidd

Between Trump’s UN speech and the new Committee to Investigate Russia, I don’t know who’s dumber–Trump, or the disparate faction that seems determined to take him down. The Committee to Investigate Russia is sponsored by Hollywood director Rob Reiner, who … Continue reading →

Race and Class

Posted on September 18, 2017 by camelotkidd

5 feet high and rising

Posted on August 30, 2017 by camelotkidd

Much of the Sturm und Drang over President Trump has got to do with the ongoing crisis in the legitimacy of the neoliberal dispensation. Let’s face it, our elite have made a hash of things and they can’t seem to cope … Continue reading →

I don’t miss W.

Posted on August 19, 2017 by camelotkidd

In the wake of the violence in Charlottesville, I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said: I Miss W. The car was festooned with other stickers that led me to believe that the owner was a liberal. Oh, great, … Continue reading →

All the fake news that’s fit to print

Posted on July 3, 2017 by camelotkidd

The corporate-media is still freaking-out over fake news. Their concern would have a lot more credibility and sympathy if these so-called respectable news outlets hadn’t been responsible for so much propaganda. Does anyone remember mushroom clouds, aluminum tubes, and weapons … Continue reading →
