Palestine
in the American Imagination
By Ramzy
Baroud
Welcome to
America's parallel reality on Israel and
Palestine, barefaced in its defying of the
notions of commonsense, equality and justice,
ever-insistent on peeking at the Arab-Israeli
conflict from a looking glass manufactured
jointly in the church, in the Congress and in
the news room.

Can You
Pass The Israel-Palestine Quiz?
By
Jeffrey Rudolph
In the spirit of
Senator Daniel Moynihan of New York, who used
to remind people that "Everyone is
entitled to his own opinion, but not his own
facts," I have designed the quiz which
may lead some to reexamine their misconceived
opinions. (Indeed, I will deem the quiz a
success if it merely reduces the number of
times I hear the common refrains of: "the
land was empty before the Jews came" and
"Barak made a generous offer at Camp
David.")

A Totally
Lawless Regime
By Paul
Craig Roberts
The total
collapse of the Democratic Party and the House
of Representatives signals the end of liberty
and democracy in America. Henceforth, led by
the Republican Federalist Society, we will
gravitate toward the beautiful regime of
"energy in the executive" that has
been achieved in Zimbabwe by Robert Mugabe.

4th
Amendment: Rest in Peace
By Cindy
Sheehan
4th
Amendment
Born. December 15, 1791
Died. June 20, 2008
The 4th Amendment
to the US constitution is just one more thing
that has been murdered since bloody Emperor
George took office in 2001: Over 4000 US
soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan; over one
million Iraqis and Afghanis and many of our
brothers and sisters in this country who have
been either killed or devastated by
catastrophic climate change and other violence
that has become rampant.

Asset-price
Inflation is Giving Way to Debt Deflation
The Game
is Over. There Won't Be a Rebound
By Mike
Whitney
Bernanke is
merely being polite in not rubbing the faces
of European and Asian governments in the fact
that unless they are willing to make a
structural break and change the world monetary
system radically, they will remain powerless
to avoid giving the United States a free ride
- including a free ride for its military
spending and war in the Near East.
