  • Consultants and Artificial Intelligence: The Next Great Confidence Trick

    Why trust these gold-seeking buffoons of questionable expertise? Overpaid as they are by gullible clients who really ought to know better, consultancy firms are now getting paid for work done by non-humans, conventionally called “generative artificial intelligence”. Occupying some kind of purgatorial space of amoral pursuit, these vague, private sector entities offer services that could […]

  • Things Are Shitty Because We Are Ruled By People Who Want Things To Be Shitty

    Things Are Shitty Because We Are Ruled By People Who Want Things To Be Shitty

    Which sounds more likely: (A) that things are bad because the population keeps organically voting for policies which just so happen to hurt ordinary people while benefitting the rich and powerful, or (B) that things are bad because the rich and powerful want things this way? Does it seem more likely to you that (A) […]

  • A Question of Needlessness: Selling Iron Dome to Australia

    The world of defence policy is truly another planet. There, budgets are given to astronomical burgeoning and bizarre readings. Threats can be invented or exaggerated. Insecurity can be inflated. Decisions for the next project supposedly more lethal and more effective than ever can be made with cavalier disregard to realities. And the next cockeyed, buffoonish idea can […]

  • The Hidden Cost of Comfort: How Everyday Consumption Fuels Global Violence

    In a world increasingly defined by convenience, luxury, and technological advancement, few pause to consider the true cost of their comfort. From the cars we drive to the cell phones we cradle, from the diamonds we gift to the beauty products we apply—modern life is saturated with commodities whose origins are steeped in exploitation, war, […]

  • Gaza Crisis: Will Britain Ensure Peace Is Set in a Legal Framework?

    Baroness Chapman (Minister of State for International Development) has been telling Parliament: “We all wish this peace process well and will do everything we possibly can to see it sustained.” At the same time John Healey (Secretary of State for Defence), answering a question, said it was not the case that British troops were in […]

  • Major Collision or Fender Bender? Is MAGA Splitting over Israel, Anti-Semitism, and Neo-Nazis?

    Major Collision or Fender Bender? Is MAGA Splitting over Israel, Anti-Semitism, and Neo-Nazis?

    Will Tucker Carlson’s interview with far-right activist, Nick Fuentes, tear MAGA apart? Did Tucker Carlson’s softball interview with white supremacist Nick Fuentes ignite a full-blown MAGA civil war? Is the latest dust-up — over Israel and anti-Semitism — between powerful and popular conservative voices, another family feud or a marker of End Times MAGAism? Is […]

  • Elections Reflections

    Elections Reflections

    Yesterday’s election results are tremendously positive and hopeful for democratic socialists, progressives, liberals and just plain democracy lovers. The Trump regime was soundly defeated in important elections all across the country. The people made history! But I woke up this morning wanting to reflect on the issue of elections, not so much from the standpoint […]

  • Profits, Prophets and Overvalued AI Stock I

    In an industry of seedy soothsayers, cocksure charlatans and resourceful rogues, honest and accurate appraisals are exquisitely rare. When it comes to economics, investments and finance, this is particularly so. Certitude, however, tends to be in abundance for those predicting the next financial crash, the sort that will singe earnings and strafe savings. Take, for […]

  • Portugal’s Fight over the Muslim Veil

    Portugal, long admired for its tolerance and moderate social fabric, has taken a shocking and regressive turn. The country’s parliament has recently approved a bill proposed by the far-right Chega party to ban face veils such as the burqa and niqab in most public spaces. The bill, still awaiting constitutional review, introduces draconian fines ranging […]

  • Venezuela’s Oil, US-led “Regime Change,” and America’s Gangster Politics

    Venezuela’s Oil, US-led “Regime Change,” and America’s Gangster Politics

    The flimsy moral pretext today is the fight against narcotics, yet the real objective is to overthrow a sovereign government, and the collateral damage is the suffering of the Venezuelan people. If this sounds familiar, that’s because it is. The United States is dusting off its old regime-change playbook in Venezuela. Although the slogan has shifted from “restoring […]
