  Einstein Wars
  by H M Bascom

  Who was the real Einstein? After World War II, enmity between the former allies became a very serious issue for people with international résumés. To make things worse, during the first days of McCarthyism Einstein was writing about a single world government; it was at this time that he wrote, “I do not know how the third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth—rocks!” In a 1949 Monthly Review article entitled “Why Socialism?” Albert Einstein described a chaotic capitalist society, a source of evil to be overcome, as the “predatory phase of human development” (Einstein 1949). (footnotes omitted) “These,” he said gravely, “are unpleasant facts; I know it. But then most historical facts are unpleasant.” Aldous Huxley, Brave New World (1932) / MCN: C383D-EE8BA-914F9 FEATURED by C.O.R.E.

  GUILTY
  by H M Bascom

  FEATURED by C.O.R.E. Lynching in Kentucky Violent rhetoric leads to violent acts. FoKKKs News and the right wing talking heads are GUILTY of working up the nuts into a frothing mad frenzy against their government, President Obama, and liberals in general. A census worker was found hanged in Clay County, Kentucky. The body was found near a cemetery with the word “FED” written on his chest. According to the Associated Press the FBI is investigating the “apparent homicide” and will attempt to determine if the “apparent homicide” is related to anti-government sentiment. William Sparkman, the man who was hanged, was a Census field worker and a teacher. This story is deeply disturbing especially since certain conservative media outlets have encouraged their listeners not to cooperate with the census. They have also characterized the census as a government attempt to take away guns from the people.
