Corporate Media & U.S. Empire
Renowned Indian writer Arundhati Roy once assured an American audience that the United States might enjoy a collective sigh of relief when it finally gives up on being an empire. But empires die hard. In response to eroding economic predominance, military spending in the U.S. has skyrocketed. Simultaneously, as if in response to legal matters that encircle the U.S. president, we see a more and more bellicose foreign policy. The “winds of war” is a terrible term. As if war were as natural as the wind. In fact, wars are trumped up, sold, hook-line-and-sinker.

Steven –
extremely well argued points, totally level headed and speaking from personal experience and research. It’s interesting that critics present no evidence or facts to refute her. Interesting but not surprising.
Madison Maron –
What a brave women. When you speak truth to power you always take a huge risk to your life. I am glad someone is still around brave enough to question America’s skewed priorities and inverted values. Delusions of superiority are the last remnants of pre-internet ignorance.

Vicious, murderous American Empire. Collusive, obsequious coprorate media. The whole world hates, fears and loathes both. Haven’t heard such addle-pated ranting since Ross Perot or Andrea Dworkin. Two thumbs down.
