Nader Was Right: Liberals Are Going Nowhere With Obama - (USA)
(” We must opt out of the mainstream. We must articulate and stand behind a viable and uncompromising socialism, one that is firmly and unequivocally on the side of working men and women. We must give up the self-delusion that we can influence the power elite from the inside. We must become as militant as those who are seeking our enslavement. If we remain passive as we undergo the largest transference of wealth upward in American history, our open society will die. The working class is bein

He Should Know- Westminsters’ Cultural Marxists’ Cameron Brown and Co…. - (USA)
Dr Simon Newman: Are We All Cultural Marxists Now? Dr Simon Newman is Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Westminster. I am now about to commit the cardinal sin for a Conservative, and discuss philosophy. Cultural Marxism: a philosophy which Conservatism has frequently opposed, but rarely understood. Cultural Marxism as a term was apparently coined by the American military theoretician William S Lind. Its roots lie in the First World War, and it must be recognised as the most su

The New Left - (USA)
Today if you were to take an honest look at the ideas and philosophies of progressives your study of their narrative could lead back as far as Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his involvement in sparking the French Revolution. As some consider Edmund Burke the Father of modern day Anglo-American conservatism, Rousseau can be thought of in the same respect to modern day liberals and progressives.Still this does not answer the more pertinent question of “When the modern day liberal/progressive ideology,

One State, Two States – Book Review - (USA)
By Jim Miles One State, Two States – Resolving the Israel/Palestine Conflict. Benny Morris. Yale University Press, New Haven, NJ. 2009 This is a rather oily work to deal with, operating under the pretence of academic objectivity that “does not flatter anyone’s prejudices.” And while Benny Morris obviously knows his historical facts, “One State, Two States” reveals more of a prejudice than the original reviewers seemed capable of understanding. The main theme – resolving the Israeli/Palesti

Raising a Modern Day Knight – A Fathers Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood - (USA)
Raising a Modern Day Knight A Fathers Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood What does it mean to be a man? Moreover, how does a father instill these qualities in his son? Using as an example the process by which a boy moved through the medieval stages of knighthood, author Robert Lewis identifies parallel stages for today’s fathers to create ceremonies to commemorate significant milestones in a young man’s journey toward becoming a modern-day knight.

Routinely blackballed by the corporate media he remains far less well known and influential at home than abroad.

JAVAKHQ: Historical Outline (Part II) - (USA)
By Ashot Melkonian Translated by T. Sonentz-Papazian Part II: The Tragic Page of Javakhq’s History (1918-21) As early as before World War I, the administrative division of Trans-Caucasia became a subject of serious discussion among many national and political circles—a matter of great importance to Armenian, Georgian, and Tatar (Azerbaijani) activists who explained the Czarist-implemented divisions by the failure of the latter’s consideration of national territorial factors. These studies

Tom Ricketts two bites at the cherry - (USA)
MORAL FIBRE to Tom Ricketts and his retired New Zealand teacher wife Jane is some kind of laxative, to keep them regular and in the company of Fiji’s illegal wannabe politicians, the scum of the earth. MORAL FIBRE it seems has never been about personal integrity for Ricketts and his wife and that is doing the right thing while setting their own ethical standards. Shock horror, Jane was a school teacher and now I hate to think the sort of principled ethics that was taught to the children.

Affirmative Action Policy vs. Anti-Affirmative Action - (USA)
This is a great and intricate policy to explore. It allows one to look at the history of how affirmative action was formed and why. It is also crucial to understand the effects it has in a direct relationship on the criminal justice system. The other side will also be delved into as one looks at the other perspective on how others view affirmative action as preferential treatment. Others feel that this is not equal rights but giving others preferential treatment. There are both sides wi
