By Niki Raapana, August 17, 2008 There’s a lot more people in the U.S. using the word communitarian now. When I learned it in 2000, I found mainly references to it in upper academia, Free Trade Legislation, EU integration papers, and eventually (twice!) in the Washington Post. I looked it up online. I scanned every […]

By Niki Raapana, February 20, 2008 One of my neighbors gifted me a copy of “Blackwater” by Jeremy Scahill. Well written and very well referenced, this book is a great resource for the history and rise to power of private security forces. I learned a lot about the details; now I understand why the War […]

By Niki Raapana, June 17, 2007 There are few political words in the English language that make less sense to American readers than the term “communitarian.” There are few White House advisers whose names remain as unfamiliar to the American people than the founder of the Communitarian Network, Dr. Amitai Etzioni.

Every crucial role is filled by the perfect actor. In order for a scam to fool everyone targeted by it, nothing can be left to chance. Managing the con requires […]
By Niki Raapana, November 24, 2006 Our once healthy nation is now very, very sick. We’ve caught a deadly, silent virus, called communitarianism. Nations that have not immunized their citizens against dialectical communitarianism won’t survive the world plague. If it’s not stopped in time, the communitarian disease will destroy every healthy human in its destructive […]
