A Madness to the Method

Posted on July 6, 2018 by camelotkidd

A wise man said that the purpose of a nation is to build unity and deconstruct division. That doesn’t describe our country, does it? No, we’ve become a nation of the haves and have nots, riven by false partisan … Continue reading →

The limits of identity politics

Posted on June 7, 2018 by camelotkidd

I’m pretty sure this will not be a popular post, but I have to ask some uncomfortable questions. Is US society better now that we have woman torturer as head of the CIA who also happens to be a … Continue reading →

Special kind of stupid

Posted on May 9, 2018 by camelotkidd

Heck of a job Brownie

Posted on March 23, 2018 by camelotkidd

If you wonder why America is in terminal decline, look no further than the lack of accountability. Not for us, silly. Under the regime of neoliberal-flavored-austerity there’s extreme accountability. Fuck-up and you’ll be living in a van down-by-the-river. No, … Continue reading →

War is a Product

Posted on March 20, 2018 by camelotkidd

Fifteen years ago our neocon-foreign-policy elite sold us a war based on fraudulent intelligence. They acquired much of this intelligence through torture. Saddam Hussein was accused of having weapons of mass destruction. He had none. Iraq was illegally attacked and … Continue reading →

Game Changer

Posted on March 14, 2018 by camelotkidd

The corporate media barely covered it but Russian President Putin’s recent speech was a wakeup call to our neocon-foreign-policy elite. To understand the geo-political ramifications of this speech, I would recommend the excellent article entitled “The Implications of Russia’s New … Continue reading →

The Rehabilitation of George W. Bush

Posted on November 29, 2017 by camelotkidd

Nothing says United States of Amnesia quite like the rehabilitation of George W. Bush. Articles in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and even the Guardian eagerly reported Bush’s recent speech with its implicit criticisms of Trump as a hopeful … Continue reading →

Propagandized

Posted on November 22, 2017 by camelotkidd

I’m so sick of reading letters-to-the-editor in our local paper blaming Russia for besmirching our precious democracy and electing Donald Trump. Why, you’d almost think that there was a propaganda effort afoot to get gullible Americans to believe such … Continue reading →

Posted on August 19, 2017 by camelotkidd
