+ TruthDig offers "The High Price of Patriotism" by Robert Scheer. Excerpt: "Our military investments recruit rather than combat terrorists, but that is not a bad outcome if the goal is greater instability as an excuse to keep defense spending absurdly high despite the end of the Cold War two decades ago. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Our military budget, bigger than that of the rest of the world combined and higher in real dollars that at any time since World War II, is nothing more than a profit and jobs center for the defense industry, which has its tentacles in every congressional district. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan were never about combating terrorism, which is a supranational phenomena anchored in neither country."
+ Shuck and Jive offers "Crude, Rude and Socially Unacceptable." Excerpt: "That is what you will be when you talk about Peak Oil. That doesn't matter. Because the word needs to get out. Doing so will save lives."
