When the Supreme Court decided the Citizens United case, there was a great hue and cry from both Democratic politicians and the public. The Court had ruled that corporations are persons within the meaning of the First Amendment, and that they have the right to political free speech. Political free speech, in America, means the…
America is Empire. Our foreign policy is to promote and protect multinational corporations, put down obstructionist democracies, sell arms, and engage in perpetual war. We protect the interests of our arms customers and US corporations by patrolling the planet with war ships and stationing American troops on almost 1,000 US military bases in 150 countries…
