The Stubborn Truth About Employment and the Defense Industry by Nia Harris
A Marilyn has once again seduced a president. This time, though, it’s not a movie star; it’s Marillyn Hewson, the head of Lockheed Martin, the nation’s top defense contractor and the largest weapons producer in the world.

The F-35 multirole combat aircraft, produced by US-based arms manufacturer Lockheed Martin, is part of a massive weapons program exceeding $1 trillion.

U.S. Maintains Aid for Contractors in Egypt, Despite Massacre By Pratap Chatterjee
Six weeks ago, the Egyptian army toppled the elected government of Mohammed Morsi in a coup, which automatically disqualifies the country for aid under U.S. law.

Media Lens: Captive Nation – Egypt And The West
What an extraordinary spectacle it is – a dictatorship behaving as though an entire people were its personal property.

Mind Your Tweets: The CIA Social Networking Surveillance System By Tom Burghardt
That social networking sites and applications such as Facebook, Twitter and their competitors can facilitate communication and information sharing amongst diverse groups and individuals is by now a cliché.
