In the Shadows of History: Death and Destruction in South Sudan
Much of the world is rightly transfixed by the genocide in Gaza, the unimaginable horrors experienced by its Palestinian inhabitants, the callous antics of those who would ‘develop’ its ruins (Trump, Blair, Kushner, etc.), and the strong likelihood of more of the same to come for the West Bank.

Reversing the Truth: The Gaza “Ceasefire” and British Complicity in Genocide
We live in a time when truth is reversed in plain sight. Black is declared white, and white is declared purple with pink polka dots. Immunity appears to be assumed on the basis that a sufficient proportion of the screen-addled population are too gullible or distracted to notice. Thus, continuing the Nobel Committee’s ignoble tradition […]
