George Soros — a profile (Neil Clark)
"The Soros strategy for extending Pax Americana differs from the Bush model, particularly in its subtlety. But it is just as ambitious and just as deadly. Left-liberals, admiring his support for some of their favourite issues such as gay rights and the legalisation of soft drugs, let him off lightly."

do we need a "progressive revival"? Check the history first... here's a start:

TENC puts Ramsey Clark and IAC under scrutiny:

Pacifica's Larry Bensky gives airtime to RAND Corporation shill

Another inexcusably weak showing on the 9/11 coverup from "Project Censored", with NOTHING, for example, on the Bush administration shenanigans to delay and manipulate the 9/11 Commission (good thing that Kissinger flap just came and went, huh??). Note that Project Censored has many close ties with the top personalities among the Left Gatekeepers. See also a critique of Project Censored's Peter Phillips.

Attn. Noam Chomsky: why aren't you speaking out more about what's going on in your own backyard?
MIT was the 10th-largest recipient of U.S. Air Force contracts during the 1999 fiscal year and the 12th-largest recipient of U.S. Air Force contracts in the 2000 fiscal year. And, coincidentally, between 1993 and 1997, MIT Professor Sheila Widnall was the Clinton Administration's Secretary of the Air Force. In addition, an MIT Corporation Chairman of the Board, Paul Gray, has sat on the board of directors of Boeing in recent years.

With $345 million worth of U.S. Air Force contracts, MIT received a larger amount of Air Force contracts than did IBM or General Dynamics in 1999. And in 2000, MIT's $339 million worth of U.S. Air Force contracts was a larger amount of Air Force contracts than either Rockwell, Littleton, Carlyle or Textron received in 2000.
