Political capitalism uses money, military power, and disinformation to determine the results of elections.

Burning Down Danish Embassies: More Straussian Psychological Warfare? - ...there was no shortage of Danish flags to burn. "I raise the question because, as soon as the row about the cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in Jyllands-Posten broke, angry Muslims popped up in Gaza City, and many other places, well supplied with Danish flags ready to burn…. Why were those Danish flags to hand? Who built up the stockpile so that they could be quickly dragged out right across the Muslim world and burnt where television cameras would come and look?

Tax Shelters Disguised as Health Care Reform - At least 46 million Americas are now without health insurance.

Jack Abramoff and the Republican Black Hand - by Daniel Hopsicker - Millions of words have been written decrying Abramoff’s ruthless greed and utter corruption.
