ABOUT TGP & DISCLAIMER NOTICE(S) THE GREANVILLE POST (TGP) is an antidote to the prevailing brainwash afflicting most people in the United States and much of the Western World. The Greanville Post is an independent left, non-dogmatic publication dedicated to seeking the truth wherever it may be found. Make sure you get our BULLETIN by signing up for it, since it's not just a great information resource but also free. That way it will come regularly to your email box, regardless of whether Facebook, Google, Twitter, Instagram and the rest of that billionaire-controlled media platforms do to our account or not. Just fill out this simple form below:
As genuine believers in democracy we have no use for the plutocratic farce that passes for democracy in the United States and many of its vassal states. We despise the capitalist media and its regime of lies 24/7, all in furtherance of its owners' fortunes and subjection of more human beings, animals and nature to the rule of an obscenely rich puny minority that has no real allegiance to any nationality and no sincere love for peace. This kind of people are clearly described in this eloquent article by Chris Hedges, which we urge you to read:
The Rule of the Uber-Rich Means Tyranny or Revolution
The rule of the uber-rich, for this reason, is terrifying. They know no limits. They have never abided by the norms of society and never will. We pay taxes—they don’t. We work hard to get into an elite university or get a job—they don’t. We have to pay for our failures—they don’t. We are prosecuted for our crimes—they are not.
The uber-rich live in an artificial bubble, a land called Richistan, a place of Frankenmansions and private jets, cut off from our reality. Wealth, I saw, not only perpetuates itself but is used to monopolize the new opportunities for wealth creation. Social mobility for the poor and the working class is largely a myth. The uber-rich practice the ultimate form of affirmative action, catapulting white, male mediocrities like Trump, Kushner and George W. Bush into elite schools that groom the plutocracy for positions of power. The uber-rich are never forced to grow up. They are often infantilized for life, squalling for what they want and almost always getting it. And this makes them very, very dangerous.
Political theorists, from Aristotle and Karl Marx to Sheldon Wolin, have warned against the rule of the uber-rich. Once the uber-rich take over, Aristotle writes, the only options are tyranny and revolution..."
Under such circumstances, content is king and we publish whoever we identify as advancing truth, peace and democracy. That’s why, while we normally publish left authors, we also include sometimes people from the right such as Paul Craig Roberts, Fred Reed, and Tucker Carlson, and our colleague The Saker, a man of conservative background but with firm anti-war and anti-imperialist convictions. Needless to say, in this age of gathering darkness, we make every effort to publish only the most lucid minds around and to support the most vigorous and ample debate about the options confronting humanity.

Including a corporate media propagandist like John Oliver completely undermines the integrity of Greanvillepost, unless that is your intention. If Greanvillepost curators have any sense of inherent contradiction take a look at Oliver’s cable segment in which he says alternative media like Greanvillepost peddle disinformation, and if a person wants to know what is really going on, only trust the New York Times and the Washington Post. Is including John Oliver in Greanvillepost some kind of demented attempt at humor?
I wonder if the TGP could write a researched thought piece on the Reality of defining oneself as left or right because it seems like more and more that very definition is being used to divide, persecute & hide behind for the other “left” including the billionaire elites, technocrats, government in power and even V. Zelensky…
Everything is marketing and propaganda in America today. I agree with all of the points and sentiments expressed in this article but…is the writer actually left? Who cares? Is that even real or are we falling into another identity politics trap? How does the left function without the right? Utter Nonsense. Most people regard themselves as simply Americans.
By media standards TGP is far right extremism. The definitions keep changing as well so that may change. But it’s interesting in retrospect. No free-thinking human being needs to accept or defend a manufactured direction in a wholly organized maze. Do you really think that ideology is going to get us anywhere anyway?
Tried 3 times to donate via credit card. Worked 3rd time. Most would give up. there could be a problem there.
Nolo Press in California publishes books for laypeople such as Copyrights and Permissions. The attorneys writing these might be able to advise Greanville about the claim for copyright infringement. (No suits and ties in Nolo’s office!)
Bill Meyer brought your site to the attention of Michigan Peace Council members.
Thank you Sherry! What a good advice. Darn worth a call, as I always admired the NOLO people.
GREAT SOURCE..
May I ask that you change web pages so a SCROLL Click doesn’t take me 2x as far as I want ?
3-4 clicks to scroll OLD off screen — 1 breaks what’s on the screen and aligns things weirdly
Recommend ?? Other sources of content == >> thanks much
Just FYI, I canceled the PayPal account I’d had for probably 20 years because they’ve started interfering with how people are spending their money. There are some alternative media sites, YouTubers, etc. that you can no longer donate to using PayPal, which has had a significant impact on their ability to keep doing what they do. I just donated to TGP using a credit card which, so far, is still permissible to the Masters of the Universe.
We FULLY understand your alienation from PayPal and similar. As explained earlier to another commenter, we withdraw any money received through PayPal within 24 hrs., to prevent their “freezing” it or outright stealing it under some ridiculous made-up rule. However, since we operate in “the West” it’s impossible to find any funding channel that is not “west-owned” by some billionaire, and thereby subject to these arbitrary financial seizures, and that includes regular banks, as we saw in Canada recently when lapdog Trudeau crushed the truckers’ protests. Maybe you can try BUY ME A COFFEE, which seems less prone to PayPal’s kind of shenanigans.
I absolutely refuse to use PayPal. Is there another way for me to donate to TGP?
We understand. WE DESPISE PAYPAL. But we have to use it till we are booted out. Meantime, we withdraw any deposites within 24 hrs of receiving them, lest they “freeze” them idefintely or simply steal them as they have done with other left sites. Meantime, try using BUY ME A COFFEE, that you see on our right SIDEBAR.

I read your post on your home page that your readership is in serious decline. You claim to be ghost banned, but in truth it is because you’re another ivory tower leftist asshole. You ostensibly claim to champion progressive values? Socialism over american aristocracy? Want a movement to overcome or counter the neocon shit and scum that have taken over the u.s. government? But if I reach out to you here or on Facebook you ignore me, like I don’t exist. You hide in your digital ivory tower posting your angry bromides-but heaven forbid you must communicate with anyone who reads your website. What a loser you are: that’s the real reason your website is losing readers. You’re a good example of why the left is fucked in usa: zero communication, total atomization, people ignoring each other. screw you and your shitty little website 🙁 …..if any anti-neocon movement will ever develop in usa (which I highly doubt) it will certainly not be because of asshole snobs like you. Hasta la vista, assface.
Thank you for your support!
Hi

You can try SNAIL MAIL at TGP, Box 943, Brewster, NY 10509, USA.
Thanks!
Outstanding choice of articles. What’s missing for me? The lack of articles on the fatally flawed United Nations, and better reporting on possible solutions to end war itself and to eliminate weapons of mass destruction. I believe the world federalists and world citizens (see “Einstein on Peace”) have the needed antidote. In particular, I’d like to see articles on the work of the World Constitution & Parliament Association’s EARTH CONSTITUTION/EARTH FEDERATION MOVEMENT for a “new UN” or Earth Federation government.
The Big Picture “answer” to all of these injustices to the world community will be good government transforming the current global war system to a geopolitical peace system. See Glen T. Martin’s “The Earth Constitution Solution.” Also I recommend the Center for UN Constitutional Reasearch (Brussels), and Democratic World Federalists (San Francisco).
