  • Blow to Trump’s Venezuela Plan after Maduro’s Deputy Contradicts US President

    Donald Trump’s plan to smoothly run Venezuela after attacking the sovereign country and capturing its president with his wife has faced a major setback. This was after the Venezuelan armed forces and Nicolas Maduro’s deputy condemned the US invasion of their country and capturing of their president and the First Lady. Rifat Jawaid digs deeper […]

  • Lies and the Lying Liars Who Kidnap Presidents

    What was defined at Nuremberg as the supreme international crime (one country attacking another one) is depicted by Trump and even the supposedly anti-Trump corporate media as some sort of law enforcement. Bombing is liberating. Kidnapping is capturing. Murdering people on boats is “impeding the flow of drugs.” Imagine if, say, Saudi Arabia or Norway […]

  • After Trump’s Pardons, Are Far-Right Militias Gearing-Up to Influence the 2026 Midterm Elections?

    After Trump’s Pardons, Are Far-Right Militias Gearing-Up to Influence the 2026 Midterm Elections?

    On September 29, 2020, during the first 2020 presidential debate with the Democratic Party’s candidate Joe Biden, moderator Chris Wallace asked then-President Trump if he would condemn white supremacist and militia groups and tell them to “stand down” amid ongoing violent protests. Trump responded by asking which group to name, and when Joe Biden said […]

  • Model Campaign Platform

    Model Campaign Platform

    Candidates for the U.S. Congress usually have websites, and often those websites include some minimal platform (what they would do if elected). Sometimes there’s none at all. Sometimes there’s a great deal of substance on numerous topics. But the vast majority of Congressional candidates have no foreign policy whatsoever. They want to be given a […]

  • Murder on the High Seas?

    Murder on the High Seas?

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, announced in a post on X another deadly U.S. strike on a boat he said was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean Sea. (Screengrab from a post on X) Since Sept. 2, following the orders of President Donald Trump, U.S. armed forces have launched at least 22 […]

  • Trump’s NSPM-7 Turns Dissent into Domestic Terrorism

    Trump’s NSPM-7 Turns Dissent into Domestic Terrorism

    President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 is Operation TIPS on steroids. After 9/11, President George W. Bush proposed a program recruiting ordinary workers — truck drivers, postal workers, utility workers, cable installers — to report “suspicious behavior” to authorities. Critics quickly warned that TIPS resembled a domestic informant network, a kind of “neighbors spying […]

  • “The Days of the United States Propping Up the Entire World Order Like Atlas Are Over.”

    On Thursday, the White House released the new National Security Strategy for the United States. Others may well give it a different read, but here is my quick take: The document is ghoulish, abhorrent, repetitious, and sometimes incoherent, but I found its honesty refreshing. The mask is torn off sanctimonious bullshit, tall tales about spreading […]

  • War Crimes and Pete Hegseth’s Lust for Blood

    Pete Hegseth, the soap opera styled US Secretary of Defense, sports a questionable sanity. His behaviour before generals is the stuff of low comedy. His mania about sending narco-traffickers making passage on the sea from Venezuela to a watery grave has a millenarian zeal. But psychological coarseness and imperfection have not prevented questions being asked […]

  • Donald Trump, Union Buster

    Although President Donald Trump has claimed that “every policy” of his administration was “designed to lift up the American worker,” he has acted consistently, since returning to office in January 2025, to undermine workers’ chosen representatives, America’s labor unions. The most flagrant Trump action along these lines occurred in March 2025, when he issued an […]

  • Venezuela, Project 2025 and Big Oil’s Trump Investment

    If you think Trump’s threat to invade Venezuela is about stopping the influx of drugs into the United States, you need to take a closer look at Project 2025. That document advocates American hegemony over the Western Hemisphere. But Trump does not read documents or strategy papers. He wants to bully the hemisphere and control […]
