  • On This Post-Election Shore, 2024

    Today, election results run, a river of grief for another river that never became a wave. Tomorrow, perhaps a collapse we never imagined: a bridge, a body, a body politic, the world. Still, the tide comes & goes. As I stand in the sand, the under- tow pulls my heels, dragging me insistently deeper. These […]

  • Cuba, Buckle up! Trump Elected US President

    The people of the United States and most of the rest of the world woke up this week to the last news they wanted to hear. Not only had Donald J Trump presiding over a proto-fascist Maga mass movement been elected president of the United States, he will enjoy a comfortable Republican majority in the […]

  • Wasting Food

    It has been suggested that to reduce landfill greenhouse gas emissions, food wastes should be ground up and sent to the sewer. This is the worst possible attempt to reduce greenhouse gases, and will, in fact, increase the amount of greenhouse gases released to process those food wastes. I have worked at a wastewater treatment […]

  • Billionaires’ Own US Climate Policy

    Billions of dollars will buy almost anything anybody wants, and on November 5 billions of dollars bought the world’s leading climate-skeptical political administration, aka: the Trump Administration, which is anti-almost-everything, except for a free reign to the almighty market. Price determines policy, and it buys political office. According to Americans for Tax Fairness, 150 billionaire […]

  • A Silent Cry in the Fog of War

    War never changes. The circumstances, participants, causes and locations may vary, but the essence remains unchanged: war is always a tragedy, since it is waged by people against people. And the suffering of the most vulnerable, silent victims of any conflict – children – always remains unnoticed. While activists and volunteers sound the alarm and […]

  • How & Why the Washington Post‘s Former Owner Now Pushes Biden to Go Nuclear Against Russia

    Ever since the November 5 defeat of the so-called ‘Democratic’ Party and of its unanimous neoconservative obsession to defeat Russia with the help of Ukrainians (claiming all the time that doing this is necessary in order to protect Americans and America’s ‘democracy’), the Bilderburg member Donald Graham, who at the 2013 Bilderburg meeting met privately […]

  • If Trump Can Be Believed, His Return to the White House Could be a Good Thing…at least Internationally

    TRUMP VOTER IN New Hampshire Cambridge, UK — As the voting results started coming in here from Virginia at 4 am (GMT, which is five hours later than Eastern Time in the US), I went to bed, having seen enough to know that Kamala Harris’s  crash campaign for the White House was failing. I knew […]

  • We Don’t Want Our Islands to Be Used to Kill People

    Ōriwa Tahupōtiki Haddon (Ngāti Ruanui), Reconstruction of the Signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, c. 1940. For the past few weeks I have been on the road in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia at the invitation of groups such as Te Kuaka, Red Ant, and the Communist Party of Australia. Both countries were shaped by […]

  • A Third Party Perspective on the Rightward Lurch of the US Body Politic

    The chickens that the Democrats hatched in 2016 came home to roost in 2024. Back then, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), representing the party’s establishment, promoted Donald Trump as the Republican nominee. They thought him to be an easy mark who would be opposed by both the Republican Party establishment and most US voters. That […]
