"Free Trade" Puts Democracy in Peril |
by Arnie Alpert |
| | Under the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO), provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas, virtually any law that hinders international commerce can be considered a "barrier to trade." This new expansive view of trade puts democracy at risk, along with the rights of workers, the protection of the environment, and the health of communities. |

by Syed Atiq ul Hassan |
| | 9/11 is the day of remembrance, assessment and reassessment for Bush and his policy-makers to start a new epoch for peace, justice, fairness and equality. This is the time for US to create a threat-free environment for smaller countries.

A Coup Against the American Constitution |
by Dennis Bernstein |
| | Since September 11th, we have seen one blow against the Constitution after

Fourth Amendment ban on unreasonable searches and seizures without warrant
and the Sixth Amendment right to representation by counsel. |

A New Punk Manifesto |
by Joel |
| | Punk has done important things in its short history. (It's done some really stupid things, too, but that's for someone else to chronicle.) Out of the waste heap of middle class values and shopping mall esthetics, we've built a culture that has allowed us to survive the postindustrial world while at the same time salvaging some semblance of our independence, freedom, creativity, and human integrity. As important as this is, it is now time for punk to enter a new phase. Punk has allowed thousands of youths to survive in this rat heap of a world through its music, zines, and communities; now it's time to change the rat heap itself. |

Affirmative Action |
by SlutPrincess |
| | Affirmative action is based on the very fight for civil rights. It is based upon the fact that every human being, regardless of sex, race, creed, or other difference, should be given a fair and equal chance in all aspects of employment and education. By providing awareness of these other aspects of a person’s profile, affirmative action provides opportunities for equal employment, a diverse workplace and academic environment. It widens the market areas for the enrolment of the best talent. Affirmative action is still, by far, the most effective and meaningful process devised by the government for equal opportunity. Affirmative action has a strong and needy place in our cultural, political, and academic society today, and should be defended with the utmost respect.

America's Hit List |
by Shane Altmann |
| | After years of dealing WMD with Saddam Hussein in the 1980’s and bizarre encouragement of an Iran invasion anyone with valuable information must have been surprised when George Bush, Sr. started the first Gulf War, though the reasoning behind that conflict is now clear; the Iraqi military came too close to America’s oil rich friends in the dictatorship of Kuwait. |

Are We Being Destabilized? |
by Loise Neville |

The government has made no effort to pay its international debt by organizing tax rates so the rich will pay their share, and there has been no recession since 1987. The '90s have actually been a growth period, a high point in our economy. |

Are We Living Under the Communist Manifesto? |
| | "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known, and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor. He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in hearts of men. He rots the soul of a nation. He works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city. He infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A Murderer Is Less To Be Feared." Cicero, 42 B.C.

Background and Shockwaves of 9/11: An Orwellian Nightmare |
by Bi?rn Ivemark |

Jo Moore, special adviser to the British government, explained to her colleagues a few minutes after the first WTC tower collapsed that it was "a very good day to get out anything we want to bury". Her wisdom is understood in many circles. Everybody wants a share of the cake, while justifying it with all kinds of honorable and altruist aims. |

Bush's Speech on Iraq October 7, 2002 |
by George W. Bush |
| | Bush's speech on why we should go to war with Iraq. While the President makes some interesting points, each of his statements about Iraq can also be applied to the United States. He says Saddam is addicted to weapons of mass destruction, isnt the U.S. addicted to nuclear weapons? He has tons of chemical weapons, but the United States has the largest chemical stockpile in the world. Don't we in the U.S. live in a country where the man who received the most votes for President was denied the office by an unaccountable body? |

Dichotomy of Conservative and Neo-Conservative Philosophy |
by Matthew Luther |
| | In Europe and even in Canada, politicians are so loyal to a centralised party platform that you can vote for the party and not the candidate, being assured that the policies presented in the platform will be faithfully carried out by their appointed leader, not so in America, our parties are big tents and disagreements sometimes disrupt the ideological continuity that defines us as Democrats and Republicans. In this dissertation I examine the difference between conservatism and neo-conservatism as practised in the Republican Party. |

was printed on the face of the card. However, many people
ignored the message and the legend was eventually dropped. |

Live Free Or Die! |
by Christopher Mark |
| | At this point in time, if you have chosen to embrace apathy in the face of enormous evidence supporting a worldwide conspiracy of corruption, hegemony, genocide, and controlled chaos aimed at ushering in regional governments and eventually a single world government, then you, my friend, have made your choice. Sit back, crack open a beer, read some banal magazine, or watch the brainwashing, mind-deadening pap and propaganda device known as TV—and enjoy a front-seat view of the destruction of the American Republic as it unfolds in front of your uncaring, unpatriotic, and/or ignorant eyes. |

Must You Pay Income Tax? |
by Bob Huebner |
| | Before World War II, individuals' wages were not
considered to be subject to income taxes. During the war a
"Victory Tax" was imposed on wages as an emergency measure
to help pay for the war. The people did not realize that
government could not constitutionally impose any tax
directly on them, so they assumed that individuals and
their earnings could be taxed directly. |

No Excuse for Second-Class Justice |
by Joseph I. Lieberman |

No to Bush's War: The Military Face of Globalization |
| | George Bush wants to inflict an even greater horror upon the inhabitants of one of the poorest countries in the world. He has enlisted the support of a gaggle of the world's most unscrupulous career politicians, oppressive regimes, military dictators and absolute monarchs. In tow are thousands of professional sycophants, $150 a line journalists, TV commentators hoping for easy honours, and armchair generals, all urging us to relish a vengeance which will cost the blood of people who had nothing to do with 11 September. |

Non- Discrimination and Affirmative Action |
by Professor Jan Narveson |
| | We must begin by asking a question about discrimination that is not
asked often enough: what is it? There is, by now, a satisfactory
short definition: Discrimination is treating some people less
favourably than others for morally irrelevant reasons. (The word
arbitrary can be used equivalently to irrelevant.) The notion thus
defined calls for considerable comment.

by S. Leon Felkins |

In fact, it is obvious that a major force in continuing and expanding the "Drug War" is the profit motive for government contractors. |

I got the distinct opinion in dealing with everyone in the Federal Court system from judge down to the Federal Marshall Security force that I was a lesser peasant in the presence of high nobility. |

Political Correctness and the Closed Society |
by Richard M. Ebeling |
| | Every community possesses a set of shared, core values. The members of the community are either born or drawn into it; they are taught that community's core values; and they cherish them as the basis of their sense of identity
and belief. And these core values also structure the way members of that community think about themselves and the world in which they live. To challenge seriously or threaten them is something that no community can reasonably accept or stand for. To undermine these core values is to undermine the foundation of that society. |

Political Repression in the United States |
| | Covert police methods have been used against progressive social movements since the founding of the country. Undercover operatives disrupted the historic efforts of rebellious slaves and Native American, Mexican, and Puerto Rican resistance.

Preferential Balloting - A More Democratic System? |
by Richard Hennick |
| | The present winner-take-all system for the election of candidates has
several drawbacks. It encourages the marketing of image and charisma,
and leads to polarisation on issues (if issues are dealt with at all),
to domination of elections by major parties with large amounts of
money, and to a lack of media and public attention to "minor"
candidates. It takes no account of either the widespread public
recognition of the need for compromise and the "middle way", or the
order of preference which voters may feel, especially for those
minor candidates. |

Propaganda |
by Aaron Delwiche |
| | Propaganda can be as blatant as a swastika or as subtle as a joke. Its persuasive techniques are regularly applied by politicians, advertisers, journalists, radio personalities, and others who are interested in influencing human behavior. Propagandistic messages can be used to accomplish positive social ends, as in campaigns to reduce drunk driving, but they are also used to win elections and to sell malt liquor.

he is or what he stood for. |

We must not, however, sacrifice our liberties at the hand of an irrational urgency. |

Agree or not with the assertions and statements made here, the policies behind them (and those arrayed against them), will affect not only the citizenry of America, but of the rest of the world for years to come. If it is wise to learn from history, it is even more wise to learn from the present. |

Because of it, he was prosecuted under the Sedition Act for interfering with the draft, leading to a 10-year prison sentence and the stripping of his US citizenship. (He ended up serving 2 years and 8 months in the slammer; President Warren G. Harding commuted his sentence.) |

The Bankruptcy of the New Socialists |
by Chris R. Tame |

libertarian terms, conceding certain criticisms or admitting a "role"
for the "market mechanism". |

The Last Word on Welfare |
by G.Fitch |
| | The original purpose of welfare was never to benefit the poor but to protect the middle and upper classes from what was seen as a public health problem with associated aesthetic elements.

The Questionable Doctrine of Preemption |
by Senator Robert Byrd |
| | I find the speech remarkable both for its content and elegance of expression - it strikes me as an oasis of cool reason and eloquence in a desert of relatively incoherent and ugly grunts that have been emanating from American political leaders and commentators recently. I find it also remarkable that, to date, this speech seems to have been almost completely unreported in the mainstream press. For example, it appears the New York Times has seen fit not to report the speech at all. At the very least, Byrd's speech demonstrates that it should be possible to question the motives and wisdom of the Bush administration's plans for war in Iraq without having to fend off accusations of crude anti-Americanism. It deserves to be much more widely published and read - I believe it has the potential to materially lift the level of the debate on the impending war in Iraq. |

was printed on the face of the card. However, many people
ignored the message and the legend was eventually dropped. |

The Spectacular Achievements of Media Control |
by Chuck Dodson |
| | Basically this is a serious magnification of Noam Chomsky's 1991 "Media Control, The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda" speech about the war against Iraq and the broader issues behind it and leading up to it. With this paper, I compare Chomsky's insights into the culture that promotes and allows a continual *parade* of foreign enemies, and show how the same phenomenon happens at home with a *parade* of domestic enemies, especially focusing on the continual hype against persons called "pedophiles". |

The Strange Origin of the Pledge of Allegiance |

| | Every class day over 60 million public and parochial school
teachers and students in the United States recite the Pledge of
Allegiance along with thousands of Americans at official meetings
of the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Elks, Masons, American Legion,
and others. During the televised bicentennial celebration of the
United States Constitution for the school children on September
17, 1987, the children as a group did not recite any part of the
Constitution. However, President Reagan did lead the nation's
school children in reciting the Pledge. Yet probably not one of
them knows the history or original meaning of the Pledge. |

Contraception, STD information, the practice of 'safe sex', premartial sex and abortion are just a few of the issues that I cover in my day to day life. This article may not be filled with anything but personal opinion but it is important for me to put my opinion out there so that the young girls that are subjected to the hate filled actions of religious and anti-abortion groups have something to think about from the other side. |

The Theory of Advanced Mechanization and Automation of Modern Society |

The Tyranny of Structurelessness |
by Jo "Joreen" Freeman |
| | Contrary to what we would like to believe, there is no such thing as a "structureless" group. Any group of people of whatever nature coming together for any length of time, for any purpose, will inevitably structure itself in some fashion. The structure may be flexible, it may vary over time, it may evenly or unevenly distribute tasks, power and resources over the members of the group. But it will be formed regardless of the abilities, personalities and intentions of the people involved. |

The Unibomber Manifesto |
by Ted Kaczynski |

Excerpts of his manifesto appeared in newspapers across the country. This is the complete text of his manifesto, unedited, as written by the bomber himself. |

The World Must Unitedly Denounce US Power Phobia |
by Syed Atiqul Hassan |
| | There is no more disparity among the European and Eastern capitals except the two knots of the US, the UK and Australia - who unfortunately failed to maintain yet their own vision of world politics but to follow Washington DC blindly - on the issue that going to war in Iraq is not just the only option. |

by Eben Moglen |
| | Where are the advocates of freedom in the new digital society who have not been decried as pirates, anarchists, communists? Have we not seen that many of those hurling the epithets were merely thieves in power, whose talk of ``intellectual property'' was nothing more than an attempt to retain unjustifiable privileges in a society irrevocably changing? |

Theory of Demonstrations, Demonstrations of Theory |
by Dr. Frederick M.D. |
| | When people are going to be in the streets trying to make things happen, the rest of us have two options: we can leave them to struggle on their own, imagining that our absence will speak for our qualms, or we can seize the opportunity to shape the event. We should view demonstrations as a chance to create the situations we want, not just to vote with our presence or absence for some particular method of organizing. |

Thinking Like A Wolf: A Thirty-Something Thought Criminal Speaks |
by Christopher Mark |
| | When I was 13, I happened upon a book entitled “None Dare Call It Conspiracy,” by the late Senator Gary Allen. As many readers may be aware, the book was a good primer regarding the incestuous relationship between international bankers and politicians throughout the world. Subsequently, I have learned to think like a wolf, when it comes to the world around me, carefully scanning the “media” horizon and scrutinizing the “information” meals to be found in the vast disinformation “forest.” |

Thomas Jefferson - Biography |
by Morton Borden |
| | Jefferson was born at Shadwell in what is now Albemarle County, Va., on Apr. 13,
1743. He treated his pedigree lightly, but his mother, Jane Randolph Jefferson,
came from one of the first families of Virginia; his father, Peter Jefferson,
was a well-to-do landowner, although not in the class of the wealthiest planters. |

Totalitarianism Nears |
by Glen T. Martin |
| | As long as they are free to shop in department stores and have traffic in the streets (with automobiles burning oil stolen from dying Iraqi children), they do not care. And to a greater degree every day, those few who do care about our liberties and rights are too terrified of our government to speak out.

Transcript: The Flowers/Clinton Tapes |
by Accuracy in Media |
| | The Star, a tabloid newspaper, published some 2,000 words of transcripts of telephone conversations between Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and Gennifer Flowers, a woman who asserts she had a 12-year sexual affair with the ex-President. Our media decided you didn't have the right to read these transcripts. The Washington Post published a meager 59 words. The Associated Press, the wire
service which supplies news to most American dailies, transmitted only 24 words. The New York Times, arguably the most influential paper in the country, ran two sentences, both pertaining to derogatory remarks Clinton was heard making about Gov. Mario Cuomo. |

United States vs. Wong Kim Ark |
| | I think it follows that the children of Chinese born in this country do not,
ipso facto, become citizens of the United States unless the Fourteenth
Amendment overrides both treaty and statute. Does it bear that construction;
or rather is it not the proper construction that all persons born in the
United States of parents permanently residing here and susceptible of becoming
citizens, are not prevented therefrom by treaty or statue, are citizens, and
not otherwise? |

say "I would like to be alone with that b*stard for two minutes",
and everyone else will nod and say "me too". My gut reacts the same
way, but that doesn't make the accusations true. |

What to do when they ask for your Social Security Number |
by Chris Hibbert |
| | Many people are concerned about the number of organizations asking for their
Social Security Numbers. They worry about invasions of privacy and the
oppressive feeling of being treated as just a number. Unfortunately, I
can't offer any hope about the dehumanizing effects of identifying you with
your numbers. I *can* try to help you keep your Social Security Number from
being used as a tool in the invasion of your privacy. |

What was politically correct 100 years ago? |
by Ronald Mahler |
| | One letter writer recently compared the Playboy ad that appeared in
the Daily to "racist and anti-Semitic propaganda," while another
insisted, "The subtext... is, of course, rape." I was
immediately reminded of a speech delivered in 1880 by feminist Susan
B. Anthony in which she denounced anti-woman attitudes in Minnesota.
Her speech illustrates how the "subtext" of political correctness
can change over time. In Anthony's time, it was what we now call
bourgeois cultural imperialism. |

So we find jobs, and work from 9am until 5pm and find out that school wasn't so bad after all. We work hard for that promotion or that pay-rise. We work overtime and weekends. We pay off mortgages and loans. Then we retire at 60. |

Why We Need A New Constitution |
by Barry Krusch |
| | as the Third Millenium approaches, more and more Americans are beginning to feel that in many critical respects, the form of our government is "out of joint" with modern times. We have had, in Hamilton's words, "an uneqivocal experience of the inefficacy of the subsisting federal government." Our problems have steadily mounted, and it is becoming increasingly clear that our
government will not, or cannot, deal with these problems. |
