Obama insults our intelligence on civil liberties
Independent Institute
by Anthony Gregory
01/29/14
In last night s state of the union, an uncharacteristically boring speech climaxing in a bipartisan tribute to sacrificial militarism, the president had very little to say about civil liberties, one of the main focuses of his campaign in 2008.

Military Metaphysics: How Militarism Mangles the Mind
Chris Hedges, Truthdig: The US military has won the ideological war. The nation sees human and social problems as military problems. To fight terrorists Americans have become terrorists. Peace is for the weak. War is for the strong. Hypermasculinity has triumphed over empathy.

They Can t Tell the Truth
Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers, Popular Resistance: In the last week there were two high profile events that highlighted the inability of those in power to reflect reality and put forward solutions to the urgent problems faced by the United States and the world: the State of the Union and the World Economic Forum at Davos.
