  • Pakistan Under Global Scrutiny

    International reports of the last five years indicate that bad governance within Pakistan is gaining continuous attention of the watchdogs, lenders, and investigative media. The issue of governance in Pakistan has become a global concern where economic pressures, political strain and restriction of free expression started to meet. The HRW and Amnesty International reports allege […]

  • Xi Jinping: A Destroyer of Corruption, Privilege, and Inequality

    The title of the article at Foreign Affairs (FA) — “Xi the Destroyer” — speaks loudly of another Sinophobic piece by the US foreign policy magazine published by the Council on Foreign Relations. FA opens the article by noting the “purge” of People’s Liberation Army general Zhang Youxia in what it termed a “Shakespearean moment […]

  • Can Charter Schools Be Meaningfully Reformed?

    Charter schools are the main form of school privatization in the United States. As such, they have never been part of a true organic grass-roots movement, that is, they have always been part of a top-down neoliberal agenda right from the start.1 This is why, for example, about 95% of charter schools have not been […]

  • A Paralyzed World

    People are paralyzed. How can it be? How can an obvious genocide, perpetrated by a small country, be allowed to occur? How can a small and newly developed nation, with a slight population and few resources, artificially stitched together with foreign people from unrelated parts of the world, pulverize a large and millennium developed nation […]

  • Can a Charter School Not Be a Private Entity?

    Can a Charter School Not Be a Private Entity?

    Despite endless insistence by privatizers that charter schools are public schools, many people spontaneously think that charter schools are not public schools. Much of the public does not automatically see charter schools as public schools proper. They are viewed as being different from public schools and put in a separate category than public schools. When […]

  • Trump’s Main Targets to be Cut

    Trump’s Main Targets to be Cut

    Trump’s Presidency thus far exhibits the most extreme example that I have ever found of a national leader who not only represents ONLY the extremely rich but who especially despises the poor — it’s a value-system that a person’s moral value is his/her net worth: a person’s value is his/her wealth, neither more nor less […]

  • The Meekness of the Australia’s Anti-Corruption Body

    The warning signs of the Australian National Anti-Corruption Commission’s ineffectiveness were there from the start. The enacting legislation that brought it into existence, for instance, limit public hearings to “exceptional circumstances”, a reminder that the authorities are not exactly happy to let that large expanse of riffraff known as the public know how power functions […]

  • Greasing Palms: The Thales Blueprint for Corruption

    It is a point verging on the trite: an arms corporation suspected of engaging in corrupt practices, spoiling dignitaries and officials and undermining the body politic.  But one such corporation is France’s Thales defence group, which saw raids on their offices in France, the Netherlands and Spain on June 26 and June 28.  The prosecutors […]

  • South African Election 2024: The People’s Minimum Demands

    Beginning at the General Assembly held in Durban on the first Sunday in February Abahlali baseMjondolo has held an extensive process of meetings and discussions at all levels of our movement, and in all our 87 branches in good standing across the four provinces where we have members, to develop a collective strategy for the […]

  • The Great Election Fraud: Manufactured Choices Make a Mockery of Our Republic

    The Great Election Fraud: Manufactured Choices Make a Mockery of Our Republic

    The U.S. Supreme Court was right to keep President Trump’s name on the ballot. The high court’s decree that the power to remove a federal candidate from the ballot under the Constitution’s “insurrectionist ban” rests with Congress, not the states, underscores the fact that in a representative democracy, the citizenry—not the courts, not the corporations, […]
