Dallas Darling, Truthout: "AFRICOM, or US African Command, established in 2008, is a unified Pentagon command center in Africa and is presented as a humanitarian guard in the global war on terror. However, its real, hidden objective, backed by US corporations and the Pentagon's military-industrial complex, is to penetrate Africa and to militarily control Africa's vital oil and mineral resources. More than 1,500 military officers from Africa have completed programs at US military schools and military bases. Still, Washington is selling and supplying millions of dollars worth of advanced weapons systems to several African nations. Some warn AFRICOM is actually identifying and developing African governments to function as US surrogates."

By Glenn Greenwald

Does anyone doubt that once a society ceases to be able to afford schools, public transit, paved roads, libraries and street lights -- or once it chooses not to be able to afford those things in pursuit of imperial priorities and the maintenance of a vast Surveillance and National Security State -- that a very serious problem has arisen.

Militarization and the Authoritarian Right

Barry Eisler, Truthout: "Yes, former Bush administration speechwriter and current Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen's demand that 'WikiLeaks Must Be Stopped' is, as his colleague Eva Rodriguez notes, 'more than a little whacky.' But it's useful, too, because an infatuation with the notion of using the military in nonmilitary operations, particularly domestic ones, is a key aspect of the modern American right and of the right-wing authoritarian personality. Examining Thiessen is a good way to understand both."

American statists and imperialists are coming up with all sorts of explanations to explain the epidemic of suicides among U.S. military personnel. The most popular explanations are war stress and stress at home. I’ve got another possible cause: guilt, arising from the wrongful killing of other human beings...
