The Future of Freedom Foundation just posted online my article from the July issue of Freedom Daily on Bush’s sovereignty shenanigans on Iraq. It continues to amaze me how easily Bush and team got away with the Empire-State-Building-sized farces regarding Iraq. Unfortunately, “Bush re-subjugated Americans by claiming to have liberated Iraqis.” ***** The Forgotten Iraqi-Sovereignty […]

McCain’s Great Betrayal of Fellow POWs
In last night’s debate, McCain again strutted out the fact of his POW status during the Vietnam war. A servile media has long allowed this to be the primary part of McCain’s halo. But instead, it should raise questions that go to the heart of McCain’s willingness to betray his fellow soldiers and countrymen in […]
Intro chapter from Feeling Your Pain (2000)
Here is the introduction chapter of Feeling Your Pain: The Explosion and Abuse of Government Power in the Clinton-Gore Years (St. Martin’s/Palgrave, 2000). This was my parting bouquet to the Clinton White House. The book went to three printings within the first month of its release but slowed down afterwards. (It did not contain any […]
Intro chapter to ATTENTION DEFICIT DEMOCRACY (2006)
Here’s the introduction from Attention Deficit Democracy (2006). This book may have struck more of a nerve with reviewers et al. if it had come out a year later. It was considered too cynical by many folks back in ’06. Rather ironic, given subsequent American history…. For instance, Bush’s television address last night epitomized how […]

(from Freedom in Chains, 1999) If you voted in the congressional elections two years ago, were you ceding the right to the winners to give @ a […]
Bush Teams Seeks Financial Dictatorial Powers
In order to save the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Bush administration seeks boundless power that cannot be reviewed by federal courts. Didn’t we try this already at Gitmo, and it didn’t work out so well? from Bloomberg: Treasury Seeks Asset-Buying Power Unchecked by Courts (Update2) By Alison Fitzgerald and John Brinsley Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) […]
Introduction to Bush Betrayal (2004)
Continuing with the parade of Introductions, here’s the lead chapter from Bush Betrayal (2004). This book generated a lot of vituperative fan mail. Here is a collection of the highlights: “Bush Supporters Vindicate the President.” I began to wonder if supporting George W. Bush automatically depraved people’s ability to spell. It is unfortunate that more Americans did not catch […]
