The Unbearable Costs of Empire
"The bottom line is that the American empire just isn't affordable. Within a decade or so, the U.S. will be forced to be much less preemptive and outward-looking and to engage in scaled-back foreign policy -- even if the foreign-policy Establishment never changes its views or ambitions."

disinformation | the first native americans are still here
'Covert War Against the Native Americans' by Ward Churchill, "60 percent of all known US uranium reserves lie under Native American Reservation lands, and another 10 to 15 percent lie under contested treaty areas."
"The attitude of treating Native Americans as sub-human, even having genocide preached and practiced upon them, has been exhibited by the least likely people, including even L. Frank Baum, author of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. Baum twice demanded the complete extermination of the Sioux Nations in editorials he wrote in his newspaper in Aberdeen, South Dakota, between 1888, and 1891."

Lies and Medicare
"If you watched the news in Baton Rouge on January 23, 2004, you might have seen a report on WBRZ-TV about the new Medicare law. It was a sunny story, featuring reassuring comments from Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson and Medicare chief Leslie Norwalk. And it was a fake."
