Walk a mile in Russia's shoes
by Phil Anderson
I like to read historical novels. I also like a category of historic novel called counterfactual or alternative history. This is a way of looking at history that asks “what if” questions and postulates different outcomes than actually occurred. The mental exercise of counterfactual history can provide a broader perspective on world events.
This genre of fiction is often futuristic. In this article I ask the reader to imagine a fictional story about the United States in the near future. This story illuminates ...
The Cost of Gerrymandering By Phil Anderson
The Cost of Gerrymandering
Phil Anderson
Democracy does not exist in Northwest Wisconsin when it comes to congressional representation. Because of the extreme gerrymandering of the district people essentially have no choice. Republicans are virtually assured of winning any election for the House of Representatives in the 7th Congressional District.
This is not just a problem for Democrats. It is not that Democrats are sore losers who don't have the support of the people in the district. Gerrymandering produces “safe” districts that allow ...

Folly in Ukraine by Phil Anderson
Folly in Ukraine
Phil Anderson
“Today we face an avoidable crisis between the United States and Russia that was predictable, willfully precipitated, but can easily be resolved by the application of common sense.” Jack F. Matlock, Jr., U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991
Once again, our government is meddling in another conflict on the other side of the world. Given we just got out of a disaster in Afghanistan, one would think we might be a little cautious about jumping into another no-win situation in Ukraine. But we are actively “precipitat...
Who Is the Aggressor? By Dave Svetlik
WHO IS THE AGGRESSOR?
By Dave Svetlik
Older Americans remember well the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 when the
US and the Soviet Union (USSR) nearly launched a civilization ending war
because the Soviets had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. But what was
kept from US media at the time was that a year earlier the US had
installed nuclear missiles in Turkey [1], bordering the Soviet Union.
Moscow and other Russian cities were easy targets. Americans also never
heard that in agreeing to remove the missiles from Cuba, the USSR forced
America to remove its missiles ...
Some Facts About the Ukraine “Crisis” by Phil Anderson
Some Facts About the Ukraine “Crisis”
Phil Anderson
There is much Americans need to know about the conflict in Ukraine but are not being told. The public gets the biased propaganda intended to justify the desired Washington establishment agenda. There is certainly no “fair and balanced” information coming from the corporate media.
To begin with the United States has no “vital national interests” in Ukraine. If Ukraine disappeared tomorrow, it would have zero impact on the vast majority of Americans. A couple of facts make this ...
Fairness, least change and gerrylaundering

Sanctions kill
Instead of killing people with weapons of war, we now plan to kill them with economic sanctions.
Ron Johnson is crazy like a fox
What has become of the happy-go-lucky, country club Republicans of yore, who just wanted to make more money, pay less in taxes, and sip their martinis on the golf course without worrying their pretty heads about unpleasant matters like racism, inequality and climate change?
