  • Recruiting New Spies via Internet

    It’s no secret that almost every state conducts intelligence both at home and abroad. However, if several decades ago this activity was in the sidelines, the emergence and development of the Internet and information technologies lifted the veil on espionage and empowered intelligence with new, although sometimes controversial, capabilities. Thus, on September 19, 2025, the […]

  • How Immigrant Communities Are Reclaiming Media on Their Own Terms

    In an age of relentless misinformation, immigrant communities in the United States are not just resisting—they are rebuilding. While corporate and legacy news outlets often filter immigrant experiences through sensationalism, victimization, or meritocratic tropes, independent and bilingual media are quietly transforming how stories of migration are told. And in doing so, they’re also restoring something […]

  • Mainstream Media?

    Mainstream Media?

    Allen Forrest is writer, painter, graphic artist and activist who produces many cartoons illustrating the regressivism of capitalist societies. One cartoon by Forrest depicted a man and woman swimming in a shark-patrolled sea of MSM (aka mainstream media) lies. But why call it MSM or mainstream media? Of course, any media would love to be […]

  • Recapturing White Rhetoric for Socialist Agitating

    Recapturing White Rhetoric for Socialist Agitating

    Orientation Leninist and anarchist shortcomings in relation to rhetoric A little over three years ago I wrote an article about how bad Mordor Leninists and anarchists are about knowing about, let alone using rhetorical rhetoric.

  • The Problems with Purism and Reformism (not reforms)

    Over 20 years ago I wrote one of these columns examining the issue of “purism” versus “pragmatism” when it comes to organizing for systemic and desperately needed change in this world. I wrote about two essential ingredients that are sometimes in conflict. One essential is conscious political organization motivated by principles and a genuine desire […]

  • Government Targeting Journalists in Canada

    The Trudeau government in Canada is doing the bidding of the World Economic Forum in creating its very own online news registry aimed at “disinformation”. This is code for censorship and control. Canada is also rolling out the Online Safety Act which will protect you from nefarious truth-tellers that speak out against government propaganda.

  • The Censors Down Under: The ACMA Gambit on Misinformation and Disinformation

    In January 2010, the then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, doing what she does best, grasped a platitude and ran with it in launching, of all things, an institution called the Newseum.  “Information freedom,” she declared, “supports the peace and security that provide a foundation for global progress.” The same figure has encouraged the […]

  • Proven Guilty of Innocence (but not Naïvety)

    “We all dream of being a child again, even the worst of us.” (Don Jose, The Wild Bunch) Back when I was on Facebook, every morning, I’d be informed of which friends were marking a birthday. It became one of my daily rituals to post — on each of their walls — a question from […]

  • Can the Global South Build a New World Information and Communication Order?

    Can the Global South Build a New World Information and Communication Order?

    Meas Sokhorn (Cambodia), Inverted Sewer, 2014. It is remarkable how the media in a select few countries is able to set the record on matters around the world. The European and North American countries enjoy a near-global monopoly over information, their media houses vested with a credibility and authority inherited from their status during colonial […]

  • Ever Again

    An unusual and pleasant experience occurred when I attended the webinar book launch of Never Again: Germans and Genocide after the Holocaust, authored by Dr. Andrew Port, Professor of History at Wayne State University. Skeptical of Germany’s anxiety in remaining identified with the genocidal Nazi past and its servile attempts to gain Jewish approval by […]
