Canadian writer and political activist based in Ottawa, whose articles can be found anywhere on the Internet, including Counterpunch, Media Monitors, etc., and his own web site, "What's Left?" possesses the heart and soul of the traditional political Left. Cyrano is proud to showcase his analyses. Gowans scholarship is as solid as his sense of humor. Here's his "warning" to conservatives and others of similar stripe:
"HEALTH WARNING The commentary posted on this blog could be hazardous to patriots, conservatives, hero worshippers, rule-followers, liberals, the over-serious, moralists, Sunday school teachers, social democrats, self-appointed leaders, and Celine Dion fans. It contains the rants of some kind of ultraleft Dennis Miller. It should not be read by those who regard thinking as a tiresome exercise, humor as a frivolity, and worry about what Miss Grundy would say. The blog is contraindicated for those afflicted by acute cases of anti-communism, delusions that public opinion is the world’s second superpower, and the misapprehension that the Democrats are the answer. Read at your own risk."
UNDERSTANDING NORTH KOREA Definitive article to read to really understand this critical topic, a topic that has been rendered incomprehensible by the unrelenting tendentious propaganda delivered by the corporate media.
