The Dress Rehearsal and the Rolling Coup Many people are entirely missing the extremity of the government lockdown, thinking that the GOP is committing political suicide. How political power isn't exercised through votes or popularity and why this situation should be viewed as a dress rehearsal and rolling coup.

Syria: Jubiliation is Unwarranted Some in the anti-war movement have been celebrating "our" victory in "preventing a war." They are mistaking U.S. maneuvering prior to more escalation with peace moves. The war in Syria continues.

Eugene Robinson on Syria, Obama and American Exceptionalism WaPo's Eugene Robinson claims that Obama has the right to bomb Syria because America's "exceptional" and that Obama's proved his mettle by killing people with drones. What's that again?!

The Trial of George Zimmerman and the Tribulations of Black People They're letting him walk! The verdict: if you're young and black, you can be killed with impunity. While this verdict is not surprising, since this was the way it was looking from the way the trial was proceeding, this is an outrage. This system had to be forced to even charge Zimmerman by people's protests and this obscene decision must not go down without mass protest.

The NSA Spying Scandal and Improbable Cause The NSA and Obama justify their ubiquitous, warrantless surveillance as necessary to fighting their "War on Terror." But overthrowing the 4th Amendment's standard of "probable cause" and using "improbable cause" by treating everyone everywhere as a suspect is as sensible as trying to solve a murder by having as your suspects the entire world's population.

Those Who Cry Treason Whistleblowers Manning and Snowden are accused of treason. What is it that they have revealed to al-Qaeda that al-Qaeda didn't already know and couldn't have found out in the 1990s in 5 minutes of Google searching, including from the NSA's own website?

Why the US government is Spying on Everyone Not only is Obama spying on all Americans, he's spying on foreigners abroad - in other words, on the world. Why is this going on and why has it increased since Bush?

Obama Needs Congress to Close GTMO, but Not to Use Drones? When the Senate finally held a hearing on drones, Obama refused to send a rep. He says he can't close GTMO because of Congress, yet he's killed thousands with drones without Congressional approval.

The Red Queen's in Charge: First the Sentence, Then the Verdict. If Iran were using drones to kill Americans, what would US pundits and public officials be saying?

Two Confounding Items in the News Regarding the Murdering of Children A U.S. military official recently announced that the U.S. military sometimes deliberately targets children for killing. This is, of course, entirely different from a lone, crazed, gunman such as Adam Lanza deliberately executing twenty children in their elementary school.
