Evolution of Consciousness

David Michael Green gets delightfully apoplectic in: “The Sole Remaining Stupidpower In The World.”

Good energy being generated from events in Egypt. The predator’s mask continues to slip…

• “Recognizing the Language of Tyranny” by Chris Hedges
• “Kleptocrats at Work” by Paul Craig Roberts
• “Walk Like An Egyptian” by David Michael Green
• “The Crying Shame of John Boehner” by Matt Taibbi

2011 is a time for open eyes and clear thinking. Here’s a few people pointing in the right direction…

1. Paul Krugman tracks the cross-eyed hypocrisy that actually passes for serious thinking in economics and public policy these days in “The New Voodoo.”
2. Ralph Nader and Chris Hedges take a look at the shape of things to come in “The Left Has Nowhere to Go.”
3. David Michael Green sends greetings from an Orwellian future: “Happy New Year, 2030.”

Great post from Glenn Greenwald on the incredible level of political insanity in Washington these days: “Eric Cantor’s Pledge of Allegiance.”

Well, it was good to see a general rejection of the ever-disappointing Corp-ocrats, but frustrating to see the gains go to the reliably-regressive Corp-icans.

Until Americans find the faith and courage to start voting for the third party candidates that better represent their real views and interests, we will all continue to suffer under the oppressive polarity of this corporate duopoly. Right now, it’s basically the coin flip from Hell: elephants they win, donkeys we lose.

One other thing to remember about yesterday’s results: this is what “democracy” looks like after the Supreme Court removes all spending restraints on political campaigns (Citizens United). I read somewhere that all the new money pouring in went toward Republicans seven to one. Voters are going to have to learn how to ignore political advertising and think for themselves.

Here’s a few good articles to help sort through yesterday’s rubble…

1. “Pundit Sloth: Blaming the Left” by Glenn Greenwald
2. “America the Clueless” by Alexander Cockburn
3. “Y’all Got Spanked” by Trish Kahle
