Mass Unemployment Is the National Policy
by David Goldman
At least through April, all the nasty features of the present “recession” were a product of Carter administration policies to create those features, and if unemployment hit 9 percent in 1974-75, it’s sure to hit 12 percent this time. But from now on, even the “controlled disintegration” crowd in the White House can’t plan on controlling matters.

by Vin Berg
The Malthusian program of America’s ruling circles has degraded the nation’s young and virtually wiped out quality education. But in the Soviet Union, the momentum of the 1960s space-exploration period was never lost.

Carter and Brzezinski’s Mad Drive Toward War
by Konstantin George
The recent speeches of President Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski have committed the nation to confrontation with the Soviet Union-that is, to strategic humiliation, or holocaust. Neither American interests nor anybody else’s are involved. The only question is the pervasive insanity in the White House.
