textSocialist Party Candidate Alexander Calls Obamacare Another Corporate Giveaway by Billy Wharton

textRepublicrats Campaign About Jobs and Do Nothing About High Unemployment by John Leslie

textUsing the TPP to Renegotiate and Expand NAFTA by Dana Gabriel
"Trade deals such as NAFTA and now the TPP are being used to smuggle through a new set of transnational corporate rights, trapping nations in a web of treaties that further trump their own laws.

fred_hampton_s_bed.jpg
by Steven Argue
While the movie J. Edgar ignores J. Edgar Hoover’s many successes in silencing American Blacks, leftists, and persecution of homosexuals, it starts out by “justifying” the 1919 Palmer Raids. J. Edgar Hoover’s involvement in the Palmer Raids was at the beginning of his long sordid history of carrying out political repression in the United States. The Palmer Raids, led by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer with J. Edgar Hoover on his staff, rounded up leftists including Anarchists, Communist...
