MythAmerica (2 articles.) (# of views) (Created by keith brooks)
A look at the myths, hidden histories, dirty little secrets and outright lies of American history   
Navigating WikiLeaks: A Guide to the Podesta Emails (7 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Charlie Grapski)
A guide to understanding what is in and how to navigate through the WikiLeaks Podesta email archive.With a description of the how the emails are organized, how many there are and what has and what will be released over time. 
Needed: AWSC, A Big National Service Program (19 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Dwayne Hunn)
Poverty, climate change, militarized U.S. mentality and economy, growing numbers of stealth terrorists, job shortage, dumb-down public policies, involved service shortage, etc... the list of needs that a ROBUST American World Service Corps national service program could address is long.We need to start addressing these needs today in a BIG way so that movies like Zero Dark 30, Day After Tomorrow, and Hunger Games don't become reality tomorrow. 
Neither Idiots Nor Useful: Our Politically Underachieving Liberal Churches (1 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Patrick Walker)
With civilization itself at stake, this two-part series makes a compelling case that political Left and liberal churches desperately need each other. Specifically, the 'prophetic witness' of liberal churches could put a unique moral energy and organizing platform behind the Left's urgent political agenda. Importantly, this series offers a framework for sympathetic, constructive Leftist critique of the Poor People's Campaign.    
New Energy = New Tax Code (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by LeeMmbjack McCarty)
It includes a new tax code titled #PROGRESSIVETAXCODE2016 which is required to defeat the escalating problems of Climate Change and the exponentially accelerating concentration of virtually all wealth in the hands of Mega-Millionaires and the Billionaires. They have all ready bought a majority of the politicians needed to do their bidding. It requires the defeat of the #KochBrothers chosen GOP nominee Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, and also the prosecution of these Billionaires who suppress and undermine all efforts to solve the climate disaster being created by their denial and opposition to any and all solutions needed including taxing Billionaires. They have all ready essentially taken over the political process in the USA. We must have a Constitutional Amendment cancelling entirely the Citizens United SCOTUS decision of 2010.
Nicolai Petro: International Relations (8 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Nicolai Petro)
After the collapse of the USSR, American global pre-eminence rose to unprecedented heights. Although less dominant than during the 1950s, its impact was magnified by the suicide of its main competing ideology--communism. As a result, even skeptics of capitalism suddenly found themselves bereft on any plausible alternative. This idyll came to an end in 2008. Since then a global consensus on the need to 'democratize' international relations has emerged. Among its demands--developing alternative reserve currencies, diversifying economic resources, increasing reliance on domestic production, and strengthening the role of the United Nations in conflict resolution. All of these strike directly at the heart of American hegemony. In this section I discuss the new multilateralism and, in particular, the strategic alliance between China and Russia which, in my estimation, will prove decisive for the future. Comments prior to 2007 are available at my web site archive: www.npetro.net/4.html.
Nicolai Petro: Russian Foreign Policy (8 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Nicolai Petro)
After discarding the baggage of Soviet ideology, Russia slowly began to conceive, and even more slowly to assert, its sovereign national interest. Throughout the 1990s senior Russian officials looked almost exclusively to the West for guidance and partnership. The Western response--containment recast in the form of NATO expansion eastward--will be judged as one of history's great missed opportunities. Vladimir Putin came to office with similarly romantic notions of a deep partnership with Germany. In recent years, these too have yielded to a more cynical, but realistic, assessment of Western objectives. In this section I trace Russia's gradual, reluctant turn away from Europe toward a new and independent global coalition of states--the BRICS. Comments prior to 2007 are available at my web site archive: www.npetro.net/4.html.
Nicolai Petro: Russian Politics (11 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Nicolai Petro)
Russia is a normal European country, by which I mean it is an imperfect democracy. It shares this essential quality--imperfection--with every other democratic state. I disagree with those who say Russia is sui generis, and therefore set apart from other European countries. I find nothing in Russia's cultural and religious heritage that disadvantages its democratic development compared to other European countries. Indeed, I argue throughout these essays that European democracy would be greatly enriched by incorporating Russia. Comments prior to 2007 are available at my web site archive: www.npetro.net/4.html.
Nicolai Petro: Russian-American Relations (10 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Nicolai Petro)
The Russian-American relationship since the collapse of the USSR is a litany of lost opportunities and lack of vision. The latter is rooted in an ostensible 'values gap' that has effectively cast relations with post-communist Russia into another a long succession of 'strategies of containment,' to use historian John Lewis Gaddis' classic phrase. Change will not come until we stop thinking of Russia as the USSR, and treat Russian democracy with the respect it deserves, so that it can finally resume its rightful role as an integral part of the West. Sadly, it appears that the task of finally bringing Russia back into Europe will be left to future generations, less burdened by the memory of the Cold War.

Nicolai Petro: the Russian Orthodox Church (6 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Nicolai Petro)
A 2011 IPSOS survey of twenty three European countries, claims that Russia is the most religious country in Europe. At the same time that Western European and American societies are secularizing, Russia, along with much of the former Soviet Union, is undergoing a resurgence of traditional organized religion. Obviously, this affects all aspects of public life, including my particular interest in this section--politics. Comments prior to 2007 are available at my web site archive: www.npetro.net/4.html.
Nicolai Petro: Ukraine (22 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Nicolai Petro)
Ukraine's malaise is only exacerbated by the West's persistent attempts to pit it against Russia. Were Russia to be acknowledged as an essential part of Europe, Ukraine's identity crisis would all but disappear. The whole of Ukraine could simply be what it already is--part of both Eastern and Western Europe. Together, Ukraine and Russia could lay claim to their common European vocation, and play a much more influential role in European affairs. Comments prior to 2007 are available at my web site archive: www.npetro.net/4.html.
Nicolai Petro: Western Perceptions of Russia (9 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Nicolai Petro)
It is widely acknowledged that American media coverage of the world leaves much to be desired. This is especially true of Russia where, despite a few noted exceptions (Serge Schmemman comes to mind), unfamiliarity with the language, religion, and culture of the people is rampant. The essays in this section focus on a small handful of clamorous examples. These, however, are only the tip of a very large iceberg. Earlier commentary is available at my web site archive: www.npetro.net/4.html. 
No Rich and No Poor (12 articles.) (# of views) (Created by John Spritzler)
This series of articles is about why we should have no rich and no poor, why that is a perfectly practical and desirable and genuinely democratic way for society to be, and how we can achieve that egalitarian goal. 
Non-interventionism and Ukraine (0 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Charles Roll)
Non-interventionist sentiment is growing in USA. What should a non-interventionist policy or position look like for the Ukraine issues? 
None of Us Are Safe From Nuclear Weapon Murders (4 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Robert A. Leishear, PhD, PE, ASME Fellow)
U.S defenses against nuclear war can be breached to murder our citizens if nuclear missiles are fired at the U.S. Russia has missiles and bombs that can kill millions in a single blast. North Korea has bombs that can kill hundreds of thousands in a single blast, and North Korea continues to improve nuclear missiles and nuclear bombs. Both nations have many nuclear warheads to be used in a nuclear war. Tests of U.S. nuclear missile defenses have experienced failures, and such a failure during a nuclear weapon attack can kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.    
NPE: NETWORK FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION (21 articles.) (# of views) (Created by Susan Lee Schwartz)
