The
veil of hypocrisy is best seen when one looks in the mirror. It is opaque and empty until we accidentally
see it while we are putting on our makeup, or a tie to adorn our image. Our
hypocrisy is so consistent, especially here in America that it should be used
like a scientific constant similar to Planck’s or Avogadro’s number.
It
seems as that President Trump’s recent announcement of a temporary ban on
immigration from several specific...

I would love to be a fly on the wall at Davos. I can only
imagine the panic filled discussions being had over not just Brexit, but also the defeat of Hillary Clinton. All of
their plutocratic wealth accumulation schemes at the expense of the common person, and neoliberal plans of incessant domination as of now, look for them to be a giant
ice cream cone that is melting before their eyes and in their hands due to the
heat of populism. Even...

While many of us on this side of the pond have either been crying and complaining, or celebrating and enthusiastic due to the election of Donald
Trump, there's one thing we can all count on – the lack of mainstream media
coverage on what is happening in Libya, Yemen and Iraq. I would add Syria, but
the mere mention of Aleppo given the incessant repetition it is written and
orally stated daily, may make me want to throw-up.
It seems that...

As the Obama Administration prepares to leave the Whitehouse, a major contradiction in his policy approach when comparing Russia
with China exist. From hacking to perceived military threats it appears that
there are two standards involved in President Barack Obama’s decision making.
Although with respect to China and the sparing pertaining to
who will control the waterways of the South China Sea (a waterway through which
trillions of dollars...

After
the recent election, I started to wonder about how we actually got to where we
are. In this process I was reminded of
two individuals in particular, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. These came to
mind because there seems to be either a sentiment or Marxism or socialism arise
in the U.S. that in my life time I have never experiences or noticed. I say
both because I am not sure as to which one it is: social conflicts in
relationships between...

The hissy fits of the Democratic Party over the election victory of Donald Trump continue. If one
pays strict attention to their whining, it all seems to be a cloak for inherent
and clandestine fears based on emotion more so than pragmatism and reason. It reminds me of how one of my uncle friends
described being in Vietnam when I was between 11 and 12 years old (1973-74). He
told me about how what he would never forget outside of the sounds...

Just one day after
President Barack Obama moved to expel thirty-five Russian expatriates, Russian
President Vladimir Putin took the high road and turned the other cheek – an
action that the Obama Administration surely did not anticipate and likely
considered equally embarrassing. I
suspect as others have also noted, that this was an attempt on Obama’s behalf
to close down the warming of relations with Russia that the incoming President
Elect...
