My name is Marc Adler. I'm a recent graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study and a freelance journalist who runs a blog, The Bloody Crossroads. My goal is to explain how state/corporate power controls our society and is destroying civilization, and why we must radically change our attitudes towards the political system and mass media. Many articles I write rely on scholarly sources to discuss broader issues, such as American empire and corporate abuse, others analyze bias/propaganda in the mass media, and many are interview-based pieces designed to personalize and dramatize the horrifying costs of unfettered capitalism.
The Tyranny of American Healthcare
Cross posted from thebloodycrossroads:Do you realize how badly you’re being screwed by the health insurance corporations? Let me give you an idea. While the average American family pays $13,770 a year in premiums, in France premiums are dirt cheap, with a single person making $20,000 a year paying only $12.25 a month ...

In his 2007 book, American Fascists, the Christian Right and the War on America, Chris ...
Cross posted from thebloodycrossroads: New York Post columnist Jonah Goldberg wrote in a November 2008 pseudo-retrospective on Obama’s presidency that, “It’s hard to believe that just four years ago, some were talking about Barack Obama as a national savior, a secular redeemer, a ‘light worker.’ Even more shocking, President Obama lost the ...
Cross posted from thebloodycrossroads:We often hear that corporations “get away with murder,” such as when the banks got bailed out and at worst faced meaningless fines, but many people are unaware of the many ways corporations are legally permitted to murder people. And we have virtually no recourse, at least ...

Lockheed Martin's Dangerous Power
Cross posted from http://thebloodycrossroads.com/The sad truth about unfettered capitalism is that it is a revolutionary force, as Marx understood, that invariably devolves into a dangerous form of corporate socialism without regulations. Big corporations become so powerful that they create monopolies over their industries and accrue extraordinary control over the government. Their ...
