Although the circumstances that occasioned it were troubling, it was an honor to finally get to speak with Henry A, Giroux, who currently holds the Global TV Network Chair Professorship at McMaster University in the English and Cultural Studies Department. A prolific author on the intersections of capitalism and education, ...

The Prussian military analyst Carl von Clausewitz wrote of action in war that it must “be planned in a mere twilight, which - like the effect of a fog or moonlight - gives to things exaggerated dimensions and unnatural appearance.” As I attempted to research and write an article that ...

  Mr. Brasch’s recent piece on Memorial Day read like an apologia to the Obama administration’s Afghanistan policy, and unfortunately did not seize the opportunity to engage in critical inquiry on an important issue. How might we celebrate Memorial Day in such a way as to improve our critical understanding of ...

Medical studies funded by drug companies have only lately "discovered" the onset of cancer, diabetes and autism is "not caused" by agents outside the body, but brought on by your own susceptible, read "defective' DNA. They're a passive creation with no visible perpetration rather like saying 93,000 women were raped in 2005 in the USA.

And a well-established lust for flesh plus professional perception management will make cannibalism as acceptable as neoconservativism, especially when the product is processed. The objection it's actually humans will be subject to a ...

The indocrination of children into the culture of corporate capitalism begins even before they enter school, when their own parents, in effect, bind the feet of their morality by having them join in the guilty and tasty pleasures of murder. The ABCs of Atrocity sow the seeds of future perversity. Animals are the means we ...

Feb 1, 2012: SumOfUs posts a popular image used by media outlets today to reflect the worker conditions at Chinese "sweatshops." "Ethical capitalism" is a fantasy embraced and fetishized by the liberal/professional left.     New Delusion for 2012: SumOfUs ...Like all good Imperialists, the Philanthropoids set themselves the task of creating and training an international ...

We have yet to have an open discussion in America about the preferential tax treatment given to the ownership class.
