Mayday Mayday Mayday
Fifty four years ago today this writer was getting ready to hitchhike to classes at Brooklyn College. It was a sunny, blue sky, early Spring day, and the college was a few miles from our apartment building. This writer was into just two important things in May of 1970: Meeting girls (as we called them […]

“Medicalization”: Profit and Behavior-Control
Thanks to the credulity and docility of the majority of Americans, Big Pharma has largely succeeded in medicalizing virtually every deviation from corporate-dictated, machine-like, behavioral uniformity. In an era of expanding ignorance, fear sells–especially through meticulously crafted TV ads. (“Ask your doctor if Viagra may be right for you.”) The collusion between Big Pharma and […]

University Investments: Divesting from the Military-Industrial Complex
The rage and protest against Israel’s campaign in Gaza, ongoing since the October 7 attacks by Hamas, has stirred student activity across a number of US university campuses and beyond. Echoes of the Vietnam anti-war protests are being cited. The docile consumers of education are being prodded and found interested. University administrators and managers are, […]

Helter Swelter
In various and fluctuating levels of awareness, we knew this was coming. Rivers ceased to flow. Lakes and reservoirs dropped to record-low levels or dried up altogether. Maybe not every year in every region, but pretty regularly over the last decade. Then, Smokehouse Creek Fire in the Panhandle this past February—the largest wildfire in Texas […]

The Israel-US game plan for Gaza is staring us in the face

In public, Biden appears “tough” on Netanyahu, urging him not to “invade” Rafah and pressuring him to allow more “humanitarian aid” into Gaza. 2.

Unbecoming American: The Fourth Dimension
Stories, Histories, Fantasies and Desire Essentially there are three standard scripts for the history of the United States of America. They partly overlap, exposing or concealing contradictions. They are taught or staged in schools, in homes, at work, on the playground and in the workplace. They are taught all over the world, too. The USA […]

The Stupidity of It All
House of Representatives legislation that includes “$60 billion for Kyiv, $26 billion for Israel and humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including Gaza, and $8 billion for the Indo-Pacific region,” informs the world of the stupidity of it all — from Kyiv to Taiwan, dumbness governs fate. Examine each appropriation, one at a time. […]

URGENT: Don’t Punish Nicaragua for Defending Gaza
Dear Friend We need your help to push out this petition (see below), urging the US Senate to Vote No on S1881 – a bill that will place additional unilateral coercive measures/sanctions on Nicaragua. This Bill moved in the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee after Nicaragua argued at the International Court of Justice to defend the […]

Intervention in Gaza
Is there a point at which the genocide in Gaza becomes egregious enough to provoke other countries to directly intervene in the Gaza Strip to prevent further genocide? Can Israel exterminate the entire population without anyone stopping them? This is not a rhetorical question. Intervention is not merely judgments by the International Court of Justice […]
