Science, Surveillance, and the Culture of Control
By Derrick Jensen and George Draffan

Of course our culture today is not secular, but just as religious (in
the pejorative sense of superstitious, unconscious, assumed) as ever.
Only today, science is the religion, experts are the priests,
bureaucrats are the gatekeepers, and research and development
institutions are the cathedrals.

UNPOPULAR STORY
By SchNews

Oil Wars - Transforming the American Military into a Global
Oil-Protection Service
By Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch

In the first U.S. combat operation of the war in Iraq, Navy commandos
stormed an offshore oil-loading platform. "Swooping silently out of the
Persian Gulf night," an overexcited reporter for the New York Times
wrote on March 22, "Navy Seals seized two Iraqi oil terminals in bold
raids that ended early this morning, overwhelming lightly-armed Iraqi
guards and claiming a bloodless victory in the battle for Iraq's vast
oil empire." A year and a half later, American soldiers are still
struggling to maintain control over these vital petroleum facilities --
and the fighting is no longer bloodless.

No Palestinian State, No Peace for America
by Charley Reese, Antiwar.com

Osama bin Laden has said time and again, as have others, that as long as
the Palestinians bleed, so will we. And he's right. Despite the heifer
dust spread by the Bush administration, the plight of the Palestinians
is the fuel that motivates virtually all the terrorism. The terrorists
don't hate us because we are rich or free. They hate us because, in
cahoots with the Israelis, we have brutalized and deprived of their
human rights the innocent Palestinian people.

Bush the Lesser Evil? For Some Issues, It Is Worth Considering
By the Glorious Revolutionary Federation of Fortune 500 Killers

No progressive in his or her right (or left) mind would defend Dubya's
doings. He lacks any redeeming qualities. But has Bush really been the
greater evil during the past four years? Has he done a worse job than
Bill Clinton did? Sure, we have eight years by which to judge Clinton,
compared to Bush's four, but let's give it a quick whirl.
