Obama’s Proliferating Wars: Empire on Full Throttle Offensive
Black Agenda Radio Commentaries Today at 15:21
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
President Obama is leading a general imperial offensive around the globe, and ‘were it not for the Russian and Chinese vetoes at the United Nations Security Council, the U.S. and its allies would by now have declared the city of Homs or some other parts of Syria as areas to be ‘protected’ by U.S.-led air forces.’ History will record Obama as ‘a man of war – many wars.’

An Exchange on “Humanitarian” Intervention with Rocky Anderson
Dissident Voice Yesterday at 16:00
A few days back I received an announcement from Rocky Anderson, announcing his presidential bid as the candidate of the newly formed Justice Party. Although social justice was mentioned prominently along with the desperate economic plight of many in the U.S., I was struck by the fact that the struggle against war was not prominently mentioned and the question of the U.S. Empire and overseas bases seemed to get no mention.

Pakistan: CIA Drone Attacks Deliberately Target Innocent People
Stop NATO Yesterday at 14:17

Just as the European settler economies in North America grew to eclipse the economic power of ‘Old’ Europe during the twentieth century, at least some of the BRICS – Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa – were already on a trajectory to rise relative to both North America and Europe in economic power during the twenty-first century. However, a natural process that would have taken five decades or more may now be shortened to only a decade or two as the elites in charge of economic policy in the North Atlantic region seem hell bent on committing economic suicide.
