Obama and Romney – Gangsters for Fascism

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: September 2, 2012

I honestly don’t think it matters who wins the election. Like all elections in the modern era, real choices are never provided. The politicians and the media concentrate on “faux issues” designed to create the appearance of an intense debate, meanwhile the pressing issues of our times are decided by connected elites behind closed doors. […]

The King of Ruffle Bar and the Insanity of Bureaucracy

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: August 17, 2012

In anthropologist Edward Hall’s 1976 book Beyond Culture,  he describes a story of a wild dog that lived on the small, otherwise uninhabited island of Ruffle Bar, which is just off the coast of Brooklyn and Long Island. The dog, nicknamed “The King of Ruffle Bar,” seemed to be in good health and had sustained […]

A Few Thoughts on Ryan & the Catholic Church

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: August 13, 2012

Normally, I prefer not to comment on the traditional political discourse, mostly because these days, politicians are all the same. The two parties ultimately serve the same “Washington Consensus,” that is, corporate interests who in turn control the money power. Political personalities like Obama and Romney only look radically different because they argue very intensely […]

Strip Searching Innocent Victims in the ‘Land of the Free’

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: August 9, 2012

Last July, Leila Tarantino, a citizen of Citrus County, Florida, was driving with her two children. According to a lawsuit she filed with the district court last week, Tarantino says she made a full stop at a stop sign, but was pulled over by police anyway. She was held in the back of a police […]

There’s No Conflict of Interest Here You Idiots

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: July 27, 2012

In an article titled “GOP Senate Nominee Would Profit From Government Default“ Talking Points Memo reports that Ohio Senate nominee Josh Mandel has a short position on US Treasury bills. The candidate’s stated position is to “stop raising the debt ceiling.” The site argues that if the debt ceiling is not raised, the US would […]

Prepare for Stark and Total Privatization at Penn State and Beyond

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: July 25, 2012

This is a repost from Greg Plefka, reprinted with permission from the blog VulgarTrader.com where he is a contributor and editor. Here, he discusses the link between the pedophilia scandal at Penn State, school privatization and the destruction of the college system as we know it.

David Stockman: We Will Suffer One Crisis After Another

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: July 16, 2012

We hear a lot these days that due to high levels of sovereign and private debt, we will be unable to avoid a massive financial collapse, reshaping the world as we know it. Usually, proponents argue the collapse will happen quickly, bringing about a short term political vacuum and by necessity, a new economic model. Odd as […]

Christopher Nolan’s Batman as Social Criticism (Part 2)

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: July 10, 2012

This is part 2 of 2. For part 1, click here. If the primary theme of the new Batman movies could be boiled down to one word, it would be fascism. Clearly, all superhero movies have fascist elements in them. They feature superhuman beings who through force of will and personal strength are capable of beating back otherwise […]

The Truth is There Is No President Obama

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: June 28, 2012

During the summer of 2008, before the financial crisis forced a light on Wall Street’s corruption (and influence), I was promised by no fewer than three news commentators that by the November election, they would investigate and expose exactly who Barack Obama was.  By that, they meant his ideology, his priorities, his views on geo-political […]

Justice In America is a Farce

By S.J. Kerrigan | Published: June 18, 2012

Finally, our long national nightmare is over. The government brought charges, submitted its case to the people, and the people decided. Baseball player Roger Clemens has been acquitted of perjury for allegedly lying to congress when asked about using performance enhancing drugs. Of course, no amount of press fanfare should be spared for such a […]
