This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the many things that occurred in America’s most horrible year in the most tumultuous decade of the twentieth century. In some ways it’s an anniversary for me, too, because it marks when I became aware of and interested in American politics and history. I remember 1968 as a bubbling cauldron of assassinations, demonstrations, and confrontations near and far. By the time my sixth grade school year was over, there had been Tet – a former neighbor and two of my older sister’s classmates died in Vietnam – President Lyndon Johnson’s declaration that he would not seek reelection; the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy; the televised execution of a Vietcong officer by the South Vietnam chief of police; and numerous urban rebellions in cities across America. My mother had subscriptions to the weekly magazines Life, Look, and Newsweek, and I looked at them again and again. Nineteen sixty-eight was indeed, as the Temptations sang several years later, a ball of confusion.

 This powerful essay by Bruce Morgan (which only contains a very small portion of the large amount of easily available evidence) proves, without any doubt, that the official Bush/Cheney/Pentagon/NIST/PNAC/Mainstream Media (MSM) “explanations” for the events of 9/11/01 were totally false and were therefore part of a conspiracy to disinform the American public about the catastrophe. If the evidence is followed in a court of law, the collapse of the three WTC towers will be conclusively proven to have been caused by a self-inflicted, controlled demolition rather than a fire. This column is being published and distributed around the world well in advance of the upcoming 17th anniversary of 9/11 so that the official anniversary story-lies that will surely be repeatedly and nauseatingly told by the MSM on 9/11/18 can be immediately refuted and laughed at and at the same time interest will be generated in the Lawyers Committee for 9-11 Inquiry described below. The truth is out there, and there will have to be a lot of explaining to do by the authorities and the MSM. See the links at the end of the column for much more.

War, poverty, exploitation and oppression are all products of the capitalist system, a system in which a minority ruling class profits from the labor of the majority. How do we fight capitalism, and what's our alternative? This week, we'll be discussing Where We Stand, a pamphlet that outlines the ISO's politics of revolutionary socialism and a positive vision for a socialist future.

We will also be voting on our schedule for the month of September. 

Two time Medal of Honor recipient Marine Major General Smedley Butler once said “war is a racket.” He might have added that while enriching the few it victimizes and degrades everyone else who is caught up in the meat grinder, soldiers as well as civilians.
