We are a think-tank for the grass-roots progressive revolution, writing articles and highlighting events that are of great interest to Progressives. We provide our readers with information the major media gate-keepers don't want you to read, that focus strongly on the strategic and tactical battle plan for the New Progressive Movement.

 The Reign of Terror - Looking Back at Bush & Forward to Hope

By Wise 1 - 2/25/2008 ()

Orange Alert was a fraud

It’s been a long time since we had an Orange Alert huh? Remember those? Seemed like every time suspicions of the Bush Administration’s mishandling of 9-11 came up, or bad times in Iraq, or my absolute personal favorite, The Democratic Convention, we were all running to the store to buy duct tape and check our mail with anthrax proof gas masks.

An amazing coincidence?

Anyone with half a brain cell who actually paid attention to the Bush Administration’s complete and utter exploitation of the multi-colored Terror Alert Level System will not be shocked by accusations that Bush used it to his political advantage.

Evidence that Bush used Orange Alerts for political gain

Keith Olbermann’s recent Nexus of Terror Timeline however, will still disgust you beyond belief. He lays down 17 minutes of Bush abuse on the issue of terrorism for nothing more than political gain. He reads off an overwhelming array of evidence, laid out in chronological order that details just how low the Bush Administration sunk to maintain political power in Washington.

Fear, fear and more fear will be one of Bush’s …

 Kristol gets Shattered on the Daily Show

By Wise 1 - 2/13/2008 ()

William Kristol is a douchebag

Leading Conservative thinker and FOX News resident right-wing pundit, William Kristol made a daring appearance on the Daily Show last night. While I always love to watch Mr. Stewart grill hypocritical righties with intelligent humor and intensely backhanded compliments, I found it was both satisfying and disturbing at the same time.

For those of you who don’t know Kristol, he’s the son (or spawn) of what many consider to be the Godfather of the modern conservative movement. He rose to his own heights (as a member of the top-tier) becoming editor of The Weekly Standard (ultra conservative rag) and a player in many think-tanks, including the Project for a New American Century (you remember, the guys who said a Pearl Harbor like event could be manipulated to get America into a war with Iraq). He is a self-described Neo-Con who has actively called for a War in Iraq since Bush I called of the dogs in 1991. To me, he is everything that is wrong with America as he represents the war-hawks, the industrialists, the wealthy elite and he gives fuel to the religious whack-jobs as well. He is …

 Division – The Politics of Race & Gender

By Wise 1 - 2/8/2008 ()

race and gender in America are a distraction

Super Tuesday is over, now comes the rush of political punditry. Large panels of angry white men appear across the news echo chamber to discuss race and gender issues they know nothing about. Who got the Latino vote? The Black vote? The Female vote? They flap their lips about political power in this country with all the statistical data and enthusiasm of a Monday morning sportscast. As an American comprised of many races and nationalities, I find all this talk about race tiring and distracting. Although, perhaps that’s part of being a mutt. I’ve never seen a point in choosing between my Latino, Irish, Muskogee Creek Indian and various other ancestral facets and never fill in those annoying race bubbles on questionnaires. Perhaps that’s why I’ve seen racial compartmentalization for what it really is: a political tool of division.

You’ve gotta love our media. They sure know how to entertain. Unfortunately all this entertainment draws from their ability to inform, not to mention their efforts to create drama have been absolutely destructive to the electoral process. …
