  • Festival of Cowardice: The Cancellation of Randa Abdel-Fattah

    Festival of Cowardice: The Cancellation of Randa Abdel-Fattah

    Randa Abdel-Fattah Boards of directors are a funny bunch. Often lacking expertise, claiming knowledge they do not have and insight that never illuminates, its members can make the cockup the stuff of legend. Instead of minding their own business and leaving the Adelaide Writers’ Week to take place without incident as part of the 2026 […]

  • The Politics of Premature Adjudication: The Bondi Royal Commission

    Royal commissions are often held to confirm the obvious and squeak for modest change. They offer no binding remedies, have no compellable powers against the government of the day, and can, despite claiming to be independent, be susceptible to interest groups. They are also expensive, laborious, often lengthy, and serve as a pacifying agent, absorbing pressure and […]

  • Fukayama’s Misstep

    Political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s prediction that we, meaning those who glorify the western world, were at “The End of History and the Last Man,” and that “the rise of Western liberal democracy marked the endpoint of mankind’s ideological evolution,” meaning that Western style “democracy is the final form of government for all nations,” motivated the […]

  • Secessionist Pantomime: Israel Recognises Somaliland

    For a country so upset about recognition being afforded to people under their thumb and control, the Israelis have decided to get into the state recognition business with festive aplomb. Africa’s Somaliland presented itself as a suitable candidate, an entity that remains part of Somalia but has asserted its own autonomy since 1991. Israel’s recognition […]

  • Using the Slain: Israel Exploits the Bondi Beach Shootings

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rarely passes an opportunity to comment upon the way Jews in other countries are treated. While the manic hatred directed against Jews remains one of history’s grotesque legacies, opportunism in the Netanyahu government is a ready instinct. With a customary sense of perversion, Netanyahu has managed to mangle Israeli policy, […]

    My Commentaries for Local Rag Gets Me Banned … Censorship is Riding Roughshod in Newport, OR

    Calling a public official, a dirty politician, no less (that’s what many of us call politicians), a piece of shit? That’s it, no? Bye bye discourse. David Gomberg, a Jew who spent his political time on a dog and pony show to be propagandized by Israel in September. CANCELLED by the event sponsors and board. They […]

    If Trump Is Serious About Peace, Marco Rubio Has to Go

    Donald Trump campaigned on ending endless wars and now boasts that he has resolved eight wars. In reality, this claim is delusional, and his foreign policy is a disaster. The United States remains mired in ongoing wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and now Trump is careening blindly into new wars in Latin America. The […]

  • Two Peace Prizes: The Nobel Legitimizes the Empire’s War on Venezuela While the US Peace Prize Honors Resistance

    The Nobel Peace Prize was established in 1901. In the decades that followed, Mahatma Gandhi emerged as the international symbol of world peace for resistance to the dominant imperialism of his time – the British Empire. He was never recognized by the Nobel Committee. The Nobel Committee has honored figures ranging from the admirable Martin Luther […]

  • Parochialism, Justice and International Law: Türkiye’s Genocide Warrants for Israel

    The authorities in Türkiye have hit their stride regarding international humanitarian law, a subject they are not always consistent about.  The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the defence minister Israel Katz, and others are facing arrest warrants for genocide from the Istanbul Criminal Court of Peace. This is plucky, assertive, and undoubtedly, from the perspective […]

  • Inversion of Reality

    George Orwell at the BBC The resignations of Tim Davie, BBC director general, and Deborah Turness, BBC head of news, after an intense, right-wing campaign led by the Daily Telegraph reveals much about the state of British ‘mainstream’ media. Before we discuss the latest scandal, consider first some relevant facts about BBC coverage of the […]
