    Remembering Aaron Bushnell

    In front of the Israeli Consulate in downtown San Francisco, a memorial to Aaron Bushnell took place on Wednesday February 25. This date marks the second anniversary of what Aaron called his “extreme protest” against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The demonstration was organized by Veterans for Peace and Noise Against Genocide. Leaders of local Veterans […]

  • How to Train Your AI

    Artificial intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction. It answers our questions, writes our emails, and holds conversations that feel startlingly human. But how does it actually work? How is an AI built, taught, and kept from going off the rails? The answer is more fascinating, and more human, than most people realize. […]

  • Yogi the Instructor

    Yogi the Instructor

    Driving through Yellowstone, I watch a black bear stand on her hind legs at the roadside, teaching her cubs to beg. She rises, sways slightly, forepaws lifted in a gesture that tourists find irresistible. This is her curriculum: stand tall, look needy, wait for the windows to roll down. The cubs aren’t interested. They scramble […]

  • It’s Cuba’s Turn: Attacking US-Flagged Boats in the Caribbean

    This time, the appropriately designated shoe had found itself on the other foot. While the Trump administration has been gorily killing personnel on alleged “narco-boats” and vessels supposedly heading to US shores laden with illicit drugs, Cuba had its turn at engaging a boat with “a known history of criminal and violent activity”. On the […]

  • Canada’s Filth Business

    A history of repression in Canada. Yves Engler is the latest victim. Mark Carney wants a Zionist Palestine state. And Canadians see the US as their main threat. And why wouldn’t they? The post Canada’s Filth Business appeared first on Dissident Voice.

  • The Rise and Fail of the Griftocrats

    The Rise and Fail of the Griftocrats

    I have been writing for decades that Oprah Winfrey was a more effective force insofar as retailing capitalist propaganda than the Joseph Goebbels’ progeny of Fox News/NewsMax outrage peddlers and the corporate-funded nomenklatura/apparatchik clowns of the rightwing think tank shit-circuses. Oprah’s grift emanates from the same capitalist ideological snake oil of self-bootstraps transcendence; withal, if […]

  • The War in Ukraine at Four

    It is old hat for those who know a bit about peace that it cannot be created by looking only at the various types of violence employed. The world’s focus on the Ukrainian battlefield and its characteristic mixing up ceasefire with peace is misplaced. One has to ask: And why did they take to violence […]

  • Regime Change at the Fed: From Big Bank Bailouts to Local Productivity

    On January 30, when former Federal Reserve board member Kevin Warsh was nominated by President Trump as the central bank’s next chair, markets sold off and gold and silver plunged. Investors were positioned for a “dove,” someone inclined to cut rates aggressively and keep money loose; and Warsh has a long-standing reputation as a “hawk.” So wrote Michael […]

  • Mr. Ip and the Wall Street Journal Discover Wealth Inequality

    It was in 2013 that Thomas Piketty rediscovered the problem of wealth inequality with his celebrated book Capital in the Twenty-first Century. Published by Harvard University Press and selling several million copies, the book turned prevailing mainstream economic thinking on its head. Academic economists and capitalist apologists had long assured us that capitalism persistently created wealth […]

  • Biblical Writ and Christian Zionism: Mike Huckabee, Tucker Carlson and Israel

    It was good of Mike Huckabee, US ambassador to Israel, to come clean with the witchery and superstition that marks the Bible. When a text advocating genocide, ethnic cleansing and dubious real estate advice in the name of a vengeful Sky God becomes foreign policy and the sentiment of an office holder, foreheads should crease […]
