Greg Grandin, Islamophobia and 9/11, and Pentagon PR
September 9, 2010September 11 is not only an infamous date in the U.S.--in Chile, it marks the anniversary of the coup that overthrew Salvador Allende. This year, 33 miners will spend that anniversary trapped underground, and Greg Grandin notes that Chile is seeing what amounts to the "Shock doctrine with a human face" under its current regime--deregulation leading to safety issues like that in the mine. Meanwhile, Mexico continues to see ever-escalating violence from drug cartels, and the U.S. State Department is now calling it an "insurgency."The F Word: New York's Real Culture War
September 9, 2010The clash of civilizations continues, 9 years after the attacks of 9-11, the threat to our freedoms remains real. Shadowy individuals aim to control our way of life, and women's lives and liberties, especially, are at risk. Forcing women into strange clothes and shoes, violating equality-based cultural norms -- it's not just the Taliban. This sect starves one half of the population in the name of culture.
