Vegas Variations on Volatility

Keeping the Peace in Vegas

You see the couple over there at the bar? They’re from, let’s say, Ypsilanti, Michigan, but here in Vegas, as many visitors understand it, anything goes. This duo is dressed for excess: she in hooker heels and he in an expensive-looking collared shirt with chest hair peeking out from under the gaudy gold chain around his neck. They don’t dress like this in Michigan. But they obviously get Jersey Shore. This is a big trip for them. Trouble is, at this point they’ve already peaked. You can tell they’re fairly fucked up. Look how she’s laughing hysterically every few seconds, while he’s starting to get a little aggressive with the bartender.MORE from Penthouse

The Politics of Water

Imagine that America is being medicated en masse, with no opportunity to refuse the medication and almost totally unaware of its effects on the body. One reason for the public’s ignorance is due, partially, to the fact that results of the official studies on the subject have been repressed. Scientists who object to the administration of the substance, pointing to evidence of its toxicity, are belittled as misinformed quacks. Huge corporations join forces with like-minded government agencies to maintain the profitable and convenient status quo. The American people, by and large, are not only alarmed by this state of affairs, but they also believe that the government is actually looking out for the public health.MORE from Penthouse

Guatemala Torture

The incredibly brutal dictatorship of Guatemala is systematically murdering anyone who dares oppose its power. This shocking on-the-scene report describes the terror and atrocities committed by a government that the Reagan administration is determined to support.

Latin America Holocaust

We are the great majority who want to live and work in peace. Let us unite with Guatemala and work for peace.… — Paid media announcement of the Guatemalan presidency.

The gay little jingle seemed to blare from tinny AM radios in every house I passed as I made my way earlier this year down the dusty main street of San Juan Comalapa, a remote village of 8,000 Indians in the western highlands of Guatemala.MORE from Penthouse
