  • DNC 2024 and Gaza

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (left) with US Vice President Kamala Harris IMAGE/Independent/MSN/Duck Duck Go A quote, wrongly attributed to Abraham Lincoln, reads: You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. Well, that may be […]

  • Kamala Harris: Papier-mâché Coronation

    How aristocratic it all sounds, if only in a playground, papier-mâché sense.  The language of the estates, the “crowning,” the “coronation,” words repurposed for republican politics, is much in evidence with Kamala Harris, who is all but guaranteed formal nomination at the Democratic Party Convention as US presidential candidate.  She has now secured the necessary […]

  • War, Genocide and Coups: Biden/Harris and the Irreversible Crisis of Neoliberal Fake Democracy

    One of the defining characteristics of the current crisis is the speed at which contradictory social, political and ideological dynamics can change with contradictions shifting from primary to secondary, antagonistic to non-antagonist and conflicts of interests, as well as struggles among the capitalist oligarchy producing new intra-bourgeois class alignments. The replacement of Joe Biden as […]

  • Why George Clooney, Peter Welch, and the New York Times, Are Dangerous

    Why George Clooney, Peter Welch, and the New York Times, Are Dangerous

    I opposed the invasion of Iraq by Bush in 2003 — which destroyed that country — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not. I opposed the bombing of Libya by Obama in 2011 — which destroyed that country — even […]

  • Trump’s Conviction Papers Over Much Bigger Crimes that He (and Every Other Recent US President) Has Committed in While Office

    As practically everyone on planet Earth must now know, Donald Trump has become the first former US president to be convicted of felonies after leaving office. The response to the outcome of the trial from Democrats and Republicans has been predictably binary. Democrats have been reveling in the outcome and seem to think that the […]

  • Israeli Government’s War Crimes

    Israeli Government’s War Crimes

    The humiliation of the U.S. government, which is actively complicit in providing the weaponry, funding, and UN vetoes backing the Israeli government’s attack on the civilian Palestinians/Arabs in tiny Gaza, is in plain view daily. All in the name of the unasked American people and taxpayers. Earlier this week, at a House of Representatives’ hearing, […]

  • Leaderless!

    Can you imagine that after my generation either was pushed into the Vietnam phony war or pushed into the streets to get us out, we have arrived at this, this ****? Bad enough that less than twenty years later we twice destroyed and invaded Iraq (occupying it the second round), destroyed much of Afghanistan, and […]

  • The Impact America’s Defeat in Ukraine Will Have on the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election

    The Impact America’s Defeat in Ukraine Will Have on the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election

    If Joe Biden will become the Democratic Party’s nominee for the Presidency, then almost any Republican nominee would likely beat him because he had committed America’s Government to victory in Ukraine — done it is such a way that there can be no going back on it that won’t strip him of the public’s respect […]

  • Norman Finkelstein: A National Treasure?

    Norman Finkelstein: A National Treasure?

    Among the most dangerous people in the US are those who actually once fervently believed the foundational myths of the country’s social and political order. It’s the true believers — we who are schooled on republican virtues, democratic procedures, universal equality, and fair play that are said to be deeply embedded in the US experience […]

  • Polemics and Breaking the Ad Homimen Rule

    Polemics and Breaking the Ad Homimen Rule

    There are so many ways to frame a story, skin a cat, so to speak, and make a message lift up from the dry desert of the digital wasteland to somehow precipitate a reaction. Humor, sarcasm, wit, the Jonathan Swift “let them eat a modest proposal” sort of way. Journalism has slid down a slippery […]
