Carl,
I just went back to this email of yours again. I gather that, aside from Chris
Hedges, you're not reading most of the other articles that I've been posting.
That's fine. But if you're not, I'll stop going to the trouble of posting them
because I doubt that anyone else is. If there are articles that you want to
read, let me know and I'll resume. Otherwise, I'll just send the Hedges stuff.
Miriam

Miriam,
She's just another source that, even if leaning toward the Establishment,
provides a thoughtful position on the day's events. I don't read her every
day, just as I don't listen to 3 hours of Thom Hartmann every day, nor the full
hour of Democracy Now. I do read everything you post from Chris Hedges, and
much of Glenn Greenwald and Naomi Klein. So many more Progressive commentators
than when I was first a frustraited young factory worker with a wife and a two
year old daughter.

I subscribed to her newsletter for a brief period of time afterMiriam,
reading the first one that you forwarded. But I unsubscribed. I can't
remember the specific thing in her writing that turned me off, but I
came to the conclusion that she is a voice of and for the
establishment and that I wouldn't learn anything new from reading her
newsletter. That's happened lately with a lot of people. I feel like
what they say is OK, but they are careful not to rock the boat. Paul
Jay did a piece yesterday about how Google is banning advertisement of
his reporting on You Tube. He read all of the correspondenc between
Google and him and it's clearly censorship without reasonable cause.
There's so much of this going on these days that few people are
willing to risk their livelihoods by telling unpopular truths. I keep
wondering where Max Blumenthal gets the money to fund The Grayzone
because is reporting on international relations is clearly very
controvercial. I know that his father, Sidney Blumenthal, is very
wealthy and part of the Democratic Party establishment, but it's
difficult for me to believe that he's financing the kind of reporting
done by his son's website.
