By Matt Taibbi In an interview with “Useful Idiots,” Daniel Ellsberg talks about official deceptions, and how he was upheld as the “good” whistleblower to disparage the likes of Ed Snowden and Julian Assange. “On Tuesday morning, August 4th, 1964,” writes Daniel Ellsberg in Secrets: A Memoir of […]
The ‘Culture War’ Done Right – Alexander the Great

Russia Erupts in Fury Over Biden’s Calling Putin a Killer

Non-Existent American Socialism
Genuine Marxist-Leninists, Maoists, and other forms of historic authoritarian leftism have practically zero representation in US politics, even on the far fringes.

On a more intermediate or micro-level, we have prototypes […]

Secession! The Only Thing The Right & Left Agree On?
