  • A Daft Policy: The US Economic Strangulation of China

    The broad lament from commentators about global economic growth is that China is not pulling its weight.  Not enough is being done to stir the sinews and warm the blood, at least when it comes to the GDP counters.  And many such pundits hail from countries, most prominently the United States, which have done everything […]

  • Beneath the Polycrisis Is the Singular Dilemma of Humanity Called Capitalism

    Beneath the Polycrisis Is the Singular Dilemma of Humanity Called Capitalism

    Tsherin Sherpa (Nepal), Lost Spirits, 2014. Dilemmas of humanity abound. There is little need to look at statistical data to know that we are in a spiral of crises, from the environmental and climate crisis to the crises of poverty and hunger. In 1993, the philosophers Edgar Morin and Anne-Brigitte Kern used the term ‘polycrisis’ […]

  • Michigan: 36 Charter Schools Failing

    Michigan: 36 Charter Schools Failing

    About eight months ago, the Michigan Department of Education revealed that at least 36 charter schools are failing in the state of Michigan. Many other charter schools are considered close to “low-performing.” This is not a small number of charter schools. It is not unreasonable to assume that several dozen more charter schools are in […]

  • Postliberals Against the Common Good

    “The Republican Party is the most dangerous organization in human history,” says Noam Chomsky. It seems like a ridiculous statement. “Has there ever been an organization in human history that is dedicated, with such commitment, to the destruction of organized human life on Earth? Not that I’m aware of.” He has a point. Even the […]

  • What if There Had Been No Coup in Chile in 1973?

    What if There Had Been No Coup in Chile in 1973?

    Gracia Barrios (Chile), Multitud III (‘Multitude III’), 1972. Imagine this scenario. On 11 September 1973, the reactionary sections of the Chilean army, led by General Augusto Pinochet and given a green light by the US government, did not leave their barracks. President Salvador Allende, who led the Popular Unity government, went to his office in […]

  • Native Son: Big Bill Haywood

    [The] barbarous gold barons do not find the gold, they do not mine the gold, they do not mill the gold, but by some weird alchemy all the gold belongs to them. — Big Bill Haywood, addressing commencement of miners’ strike, Colorado, 1903. Work taught him of injustice early and converted him to socialism. His […]

  • Meet the New Normal, Same as the Old Normal: You Are Still the Enemy Within   

    Today, we are witnessing the nudging (manipulation) of the population to accept a ‘new normal’ based on a climate emergency narrative, restrictions on movement and travel, programmable digital money, ‘pandemic preparedness’ courtesy of the World Health Organization’s tyrannical pandemic treaty, unaccountable AI and synthetic ‘food’. Whether it involves a ‘food transition’, an ‘energy transition’, 15-minute […]

  • Wake Up Working Stiffs

    Ironic how so many who say they worship Jesus as their Lord and Savior forget all that he taught: If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin […]

  • Weasel Words in Aviation: Protecting the Flying Kangaroo

    Ambrose Bierce, whose cynicism supplies a hygienic cold wash, suggested that politics was always a matter of interests masquerading as a contest of principles.  It involved conducting public affairs for private advantage.  How right he was.  One way of justifying such an effort is through using such words as the “national interest” or “public interest” […]

  • More Banks to Fail? Not in North Dakota

    U.S. banks are again in the crosshairs. Standard and Poor’s has downgraded five new middle-tier banks and put three others on negative outlook. This follows sweeping downgrades earlier in August by Moody’s, which cut credit ratings on 10 banks and placed four of the 15 largest U.S. banks on review for possible downgrade. As with the banks going into […]
