Why I’m Hopeful
Why I’m Hopeful A more humane, sustainable world lies just beyond the edge of the Status Quo. Readers often ask me to post something hopeful, and I understand why: doom-and-gloom gets tiresome. Human beings need hope just as they need oxygen, and the destruction of the Status Quo via over-reach and internal contradictions doesn’t leave […]
Then They Came for the Globalists
Then They Came for the Globalists Photo by Francisco Osorio | CC BY 2.0 Thank God for the corporate media. If it wasn’t for them, and the ADL, I’d have probably never discovered that I’m a Nazi. Apparently, I’ve been one for quite some time … which is weird, as I had no idea. Here […]
The Corporatocracy
The Corporatocracy The interests of Washington and large corporations have merged so completely they are now inseparable. America’s large corporations and its government have merged. Or was it an acquisition? If the latter, who acquired whom? Unfortunately, the labels affixed to purely corporate combinations lose their analytical usefulness here.

Governments Change, the Corporatocracy Endures
Governments Change, the Corporatocracy Endures Ultimately, the dominance of global capital (the Corporatocracy) is not financial– it’s political. One little-remarked consequence of the central banks’ policies of near-zero interest rates and quantitative easing is the unrivaled dominance of mobile global capital, i.e. the Corporatocracy.

Where Candidates Fear to Tread
Where Candidates Fear to Tread That the snarkier circles of political commentary thrill to the elephantine bellowings of Donald J. Trump only shows the pathetic limitations of the snarkists. They enjoy Trump’s filterless mouth, his harsh goadings of the other presidential wannabes, and his supposed telepathic empathy for the suffering public outside the magic kingdom […]
Potemkin Party
Potemkin Party How many of you brooding on the dreadful prospect of Hillary have chanced to survey what remains of Democratic Party (cough cough) leadership in the background of Her Royal Inevitableness? Nothing is the answer. Zip. Nobody. A vacuum. There is no Democratic Party anymore. There are no figures of gravitas anywhere to be […]
The Politics of Timber Theft
The Politics of Timber Theft Steal a Tree, Go to Jail; Steal a Forest, Meet the President Republished here with permission is a chapter from Jeffrey St. Clair’s 2008 book, Born Under A Bad Sky. St. Clair has provided an outstanding report of corrupt government at work. Even environmentalists in the Forest Service who are appointed […]
The Global Trade Corporatocracy Slams into Local Resistance
The Global Trade Corporatocracy Slams into Local Resistance Not everything seems to be going according to script for the self-anointed architects of the new global order. For years lobbyists and representatives of the world’s largest corporations and banks have been meeting with government trade negotiators from Europe, North America and Asia to patch together what […]
Crunch Time for the Global Corporatocracy
Crunch Time for the Global Corporatocracy As Sir Winston Churchill is alleged to have said, democracy is the worst form of government, except all the others that have been tried. However, in this age of increasingly globalized governance the future of democracy is very much in question. Already many key economic decisions affecting our lives […]
