Read MoreWhy no attacks since 9/11-anthrax?
The 9/11 truth movement says the official story of 9/11 makes no sense: skyscrapers imploding from relatively small office fires, 767s being flown by amateurs with pinpoint precision almost 600 mph at sea level (faster than the plane’s maximum physically possible speed at that altitude), alleged crash sites that look nothing like crash sites, alleged hijackers who got on the…
Read MoreIs the anti-war movement racist?
Don’t get me wrong, I love the peace movement. I especially like the upcoming End US Wars rally in Washington, DC December 12th: http://www.enduswars.org/ . But a lot of the white, middle-class people in the peace movement have a great big blind spot. Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man describes a black man who is socially invisible in the white world. Splitting-the-Sky,…

Read MoreHey Obama: Surge THIS!
Since when did warmonger presidents start getting Nobel Peace Prizes? Since 9/11. Since when did America start staging Stalinist show trials? Since 9/11. Since when did American public universities blacklist people like Steven Jones and myself for pursuing “subversive” research? Since 9/11.

Read MoreThank God for William S. Burroughs
May his truth-telling outweigh his sins on judgment day. A Thanksgiving Prayer by William S. Burroughs I once asked Burroughs about the eerie resemblance between the mind-control spooks in his books and CIA programs like MK Ultra and Operation Artichoke. Did he know about those programs back in the early 60’s, when they were still secret? He replied in that…
