American politics is so insular and narrow, that republicans frame democrats -- yes, democrats -- as Socialists, and nobody but actual Socialists seem to see the insanity of it.

Not to be outdone, democrats frame a careerist corporate Zionist child-sniffer as a Progressive, and the corporate media chirps merrily along.

I don't know about you, but leaving the planet is gaining a certain appeal.

The current “war against right-wing extremists" is in fact—and always has been—a war against the Left, initiated by right-wing extremist J. Edgar Hoover and his successors in the F.B.I. and the national security state against civil rights activists, anti-war protesters, unions, Occupy Wall Street, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, et al, characterizing them as a national security threat to the "law-abiding silent majority". This is why Noam Chomsky, Chris Hedges, Ralph Nader, Aaron Mate, Max Blumenthal, et al, are banned from the New York Times, Washington Post, and the corporate broadcast news media. The second most dangerous thing on earth to US “foreign policy” is US “domestic policy”.
