"I would like to see people refusing to work in any job they felt was wrong. I would like to see work-dodgers: honourable and brave people who refuse to continue to feed this monstrous culture." - Chris Busby 

The Abolition of Work
By Bob Black, Inspiracy Press
Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost any evil you'd care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working. 

Taking on Dangerous Lies: A Response to Zell Miller's Speech
By M. Junaid Alam
What strikes the conscious American as most disgraceful about the senator is not his betrayal of the party to which he belongs, but his allegiance to the most dishonest set of positions to which justice and reason have never belonged. The promulgation of poisonous myths about the war abroad, like the eagerness of a nervous public to eat up those myths, is the greatest danger confronting America today.

Gott mit uns: On Bush and Hitler's rhetoric
Bob Fitrakis, The Free Press

Have Someone Else Say It
By John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton, AlterNet
Bush & Co. used the old "third party technique" with their Swift Boat attacks on Kerry. The technique is simple: "Put your message in someone else's mouth that the public will listen to." 

Manufacturing bugbears
M Shahid Alam, Al-Ahram Weekly
The war on terror might be bogus, but modern great powers are adept at creating the conditions under which the patently false becomes horribly real.
