Last Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed something called “the USA Freedom Act.” The bill was intended by its authors to end the National Security Agency’s broad and privacy-shredding bulk data collection program, but the final version that passed is so weak that bulk data collection will still be permitted.

En el 2010, Newt Gingrich dijo que el presidente de EE.UU., Barack Obama, nos resulta “incomprensible”, al menos que usemos su orientación ideológica “keniana y anti-colonialista” como punto de referencia para entender sus bizarras acciones. Pues Obama ha sido increíblemente exitoso en ocultar su profundo desprecio por el colonialismo, hasta el punto de alabar a…

Desde que li 1984 na adolescência, estive fascinado pela presciência de George Orwell. O caso de Edward Snowden e Gleen Greenwald destacou um aspecto dessa sagacidade preditiva, mas o slogan “nós sempre estivemos em guerra com a Lestásia” jamais esteve em mais evidência do que na questão da Ucrânia, Crimeia e Rússia. O desenvolvimento mais…
Desde que leí 1984 en la adolescencia, he sentido una perpetua fascinación por la presciencia de George Orwell. La saga Edward Snowden/Glenn Greenwald llamó nuestra atención sobre un aspecto de lo que Orwell predijo tan agudamente, pero el “siempre hemos estado en guerra con Estasia” está volviendo a la palestra debido a la… “situación”… con…
Nel 2010 Newt Gingrich spiegò che il presidente americano Barack Obama “non si capisce” se non si tiene conto del suo orientamento “anticoloniale keniano” come punto di riferimento interpretativo del suo comportamento bizzarro. Certo che Obama è riuscito a nascondere benissimo il suo odio profondo verso il colonialismo; tanto che ha elogiato l’Europa, in un…
Mais de dez anos atrás, blogueiros neoconservadores cunharam o termo “fisking” para nomear a atividade polêmica (originalmente demonstrada contra o jornalista de esquerda Robert Fisk) de desmontar um comentário, frase a frase, analisando e refutando cada trecho dele. Embora as ideias neoconservadoras sejam tanto incorretas quanto repugnantes, a técnica é válida. E as observações recentes…
C4SS Media presents Jonathan Carp‘s “Eleven Years of War” read by James Tuttle and edited by Nick Ford. “The Iraq War was, as wars go, not an especially harsh or brutal one, and was largely conducted according to all the latest precepts of “humanitarian intervention.” The free-fire zones of Vietnam were largely absent, as were the brutalities of massed, prolonged…
Back in 2010 Newt Gingrich explained that US president Barack Obama lies “outside our comprehension” unless we use his “Kenyan, anti-colonial” ideological orientation as a reference point for understanding his bizarre actions. Obama has been amazingly successful at concealing his deep-seated hatred of colonialism — to the point of praising Europe, in a speech last…
Prometi a mim mesmo que não ia mais comentar o que diz Barack Obama, porque simplesmente não vale a pena. O que Obama fala só faz sentido se você tiver uma coisa em mente: ele, como os outros políticos, pensa que a maioria das pessoas são idiotas. Porém, eu estou tão chocado com o que…
I promised myself that I would no longer comment on what Barack Obama has to say, because it’s just not worth the time and effort. Obama’s public remarks are comprehensible only if you keep one thing in mind: he, like other politicians, thinks most people are morons. I am so appalled by what Obama said in…
Since reading 1984 as an adolescent, I’ve remained perpetually amazed at George Orwell’s prescience. The Edward Snowden/Glenn Greenwald surveillance state strip-tease has recently focused attention on one aspect of that predictive acumen, but “we have always been at war with Eastasia” is returning to the fore due to the … “situation” … with Ukraine, Crimea and…

Today, the Iraq War turns eleven. If you’re an American, you’d be forgiven for thinking the war in Iraq was over.

But the war never ended….
