ColdType: writing worth reading from around the world - and it's free!
I have added ColdType to the list of WBB websites in the right column as there appears to be no RSS feed, indeed the whole publication is in pdf so easy to save and read at one's leisure. But in a land of short blogs and single-issue rants it is good to read well-crafted essays from writers, journalists and academics.
I'm currently reading the latest issue of The Reader, with essays by John Pilger, David Michael Green and Kevin Carson and an interview with Oliver Stone. The issue is dedicated to Orwell's 1984 with thoughts on political propaganda and the reality of false flag wars as permanent states of tension. The air is somewhat lightened by a satirical piece, "Paying the price of freedom" by Fred Reed, that looks at how airport security is a money-making scam whilst passengers avoid being subjected to ever-more intrusive security measures. The exploding breast implants scenario is very funny... until we see automatic palpators next to the x-ray machines at passport control.
