Silence is a word pregnant with multiple meanings: for many a threat; for others a nostalgic evocation of a time rendered obsolete by technology; for others a sentence to boredom; and for some, devotees of the ancient arts of contemplation, reading, and writing, a word of profound, even sacred importance. But silence, like so much else in the present world, …

Austerity is officially dead, at least at the presidential candidate level. Congress? We’ll have to wait and see.

Distinguishing the real from the artificial economic recovery bolstered at the Democratic Convention – and consequences of Sanders capitulating and endorsing Clinton
Andrew J. Bacevich – The Decay of American Politics
My earliest recollection of national politics dates back exactly 60 years to the moment, in the summer of 1956, when I watched the political conventions in the company of that wondrous new addition to our family, television. My parents were supporting President Dwight D. Eisenhower for a second term and that was good enough for me. Even as a youngster, …
Robert Parry – The Danger of Excessive Trump Bashing
The widespread disdain for Donald Trump and the fear of what his presidency might mean have led to an abandonment of any sense of objectivity by many Trump opponents and, most notably, the mainstream U.S. news media.

Eric Zuesse – America’s Oligarchs Support Clinton Almost Unanimously
The results are already in, even before the official campaign-finance final figures will become available after the election. Though a large percentage of the people funding the campaign advertising will never be made public — due to recent Supreme Court decisions allowing “dark money” — data already exist on the final product of the campaigns (including both the above-board and the dark …
Kristina Wong – Fears grow as military pulled into presidential politics
The military is getting pulled into the presidential election fight between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, which some fear is harming its reputation and ability to serve the future president.

Dr. Binoy Kampmark – Washington’s Zika Vaccination Ploy
Should you fear receiving the needle from a stranger? Yes. Should you fear receiving it from a person you know all too well as a historical abuser? Even more so. Empires do it, states do it, and even local agencies do it. Let’s all, as it were, vaccinate for all in this perverted paraphrasing of the Cole Porter song, the …
