  • A Nanny State Idiocracy: A Tale of Too Many Laws and Too Little Freedom

    A Nanny State Idiocracy: A Tale of Too Many Laws and Too Little Freedom

    We are caught in a vicious cycle of too many laws, too many cops, and too little freedom. It’s hard to say whether we’re dealing with a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves), a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and […]

  • Forces of Impunity: The US Threatens the International Criminal Court

    The International Criminal Court is a dusty jewel, a creation of heat, tension and manufacture in the international community.  Various elements have gone into its creation.  As with any international institution which draws its legitimacy from nation states and the like, its detractors are many, the invective against it frequent.  Some 124 countries have signed […]

  • The Steady Slide Towards Tyranny: How Freedom Dies from A to Z

    The Steady Slide Towards Tyranny: How Freedom Dies from A to Z

    The American governmental scheme is sliding ever closer towards a pervasive authoritarianism. The American people, the permanent underclass in America, have allowed themselves to be so distracted and divided that they have failed to notice the building blocks of tyranny being laid down right under their noses by the architects of the Deep State. This […]

  • Private Security Firm Attacks the Sihlalangenkani Occupation in Umhlali

    On 7 April the notorious private security firm IPSS, with support from the SAPS, launched an attack on the Sihlalangenkani Occupation in Umhlali, on the North Coast. The occupation is affiliated to our movement. The attack was unlawful and violent. People’s doors were kicked in and people were assaulted, insulted, and threatened by men wielding […]

  • Faulty Assurances: The Judicial Torture of Assange Continues

    Only this month, the near comatose US President, Joe Biden, made a casual, castaway remark that his administration was “considering” the request by Australia that the case against Julian Assange be concluded.  The WikiLeaks founder has already spent five gruelling years in London’s Belmarsh prison, where he continues a remarkable, if draining campaign against the […]

  • Germany buries the evidence of complicity in genocide: Nicaragua exposes it

    Last Thursday, Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, the British-Palestinian war surgeon, gave his first address as the newly-appointed rector of Glasgow University, chosen in recognition of his work at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza. The following day he flew to Berlin, where he had been invited to address a major conference about Palestine. On arrival he was taken […]

  • Flicker of Hope: Biden’s Throwaway Lines on Assange

    Walking stiffly, largely distracted, and struggling to focus on the bare essentials, US President Joe Biden was keeping company with his Japanese counterpart, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, when asked the question.  It concerned what he was doing regarding Australia’s request that the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange be returned to Australia. Assange, who has spent five […]

  • Purgatorial Torments: Assange and the UK High Court

    What is it about British justice that has a certain rankness to it, notably when it comes to dealing with political charges?  The record is not good, and the ongoing sadistic carnival that is the prosecution (and persecution) of Julian Assange continues to provide meat for the table. Those supporting the WikiLeaks publisher, who faces […]

  • Assange’s ‘reprieve’ is another lie, hiding the real goal of keeping him endlessly locked up

    Assange’s ‘reprieve’ is another lie, hiding the real goal of keeping him endlessly locked up

    The interminable and abhorrent saga of Julian Assange’s incarceration for the crime of journalism continues. And once again, the headline news is a lie, one designed both to buy our passivity and to buy more time for the British and US establishments to keep the Wikileaks founder permanently disappeared from view. The Guardian – which […]

  • Julian Assange and the Plea Nibble

    Be wary of what Washington offers in negotiations at the best of times.  The empire gives and takes when it can; the hegemon proffers and in equal measure withdraws offers it deems fit.  This is all well known to the legal team of WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange, who, the Wall Street Journal “exclusively” reveals, is […]
