  • The Apologists for the Attack on Iran

    February 28, 2026. Another attack, another breach of the United Nations Charter. A gross violation of international law. As usual, a violation celebrated as ethical, necessary, and high-minded in principle by the powerful who dictate such terms. Not squalid, dangerous, destabilising. Not, apparently, following the same pattern as before: interventions in Iraq, Libya. Not, goodness, […]

  • Mendacious Rationales: The Lies Behind Operation Lion’s Roar

    Many in the United States would scarcely identify the difference between Iran and Iraq, both countries based on ancient civilisations so chronologically distant as to be fiction. If not Marvel, it’s not marvellous. But another fiction came into play towards the end of February as the United States and Israel reprised their role as world […]

  • The USrael Attack on Iran and 40th Anniversary of the Murder of Olof Palme

    The USrael Attack on Iran and 40th Anniversary of the Murder of Olof Palme

    Today, USrael attacked Iran, for the second time within just one year. Today also marks the 40th Anniversary of the murder of Swedish PM Olof Palme (1927-1986). In the video below, Palme condemns the US bombings of Hanoi, Vietnam, at Xmas 1972. He paid a price for it. He lists the names of places where […]

  • New Endings: How Starmer Lost Gorton and Denton

    Britain’s Labour Prime Minister is an accidental genius. Having won a comprehensive election victory in 2024 for not being a disturbed, sociopathic Tory leader, Sir Keir Starmer is now engineering his party into a position of electoral defeat and obituary-laden oblivion. Sclerotic, static, inert, incapable, his Labour Party government risks suffering a most deserved annihilation […]

  • It’s Cuba’s Turn: Attacking US-Flagged Boats in the Caribbean

    This time, the appropriately designated shoe had found itself on the other foot. While the Trump administration has been gorily killing personnel on alleged “narco-boats” and vessels supposedly heading to US shores laden with illicit drugs, Cuba had its turn at engaging a boat with “a known history of criminal and violent activity”. On the […]

  • The War in Ukraine at Four

    It is old hat for those who know a bit about peace that it cannot be created by looking only at the various types of violence employed. The world’s focus on the Ukrainian battlefield and its characteristic mixing up ceasefire with peace is misplaced. One has to ask: And why did they take to violence […]

  • The Insecurity of the Munich Security Conference

    Each day we learn that the leaders of the “free world” lag behind us. Relying on them to give us peace and stability has its doubts. The annual Munich Security Conference, a gathering of Western world’s movers and shakers, tells us why we have this insecure world. The Conference reached deep into the nitty gritty […]

  • Sanae Takaichi and the LDP’s Pseudo-Democratic Elections

    Sanae Takaichi and the LDP’s Pseudo-Democratic Elections

    Jumping up and down like a fangirl called on stage by their favourite celebrity, Sanae Takaichi, Japan’s 104th prime minister, was all smiles standing next to US President Donald Trump aboard the USS George Washington. The image was symbolic of the decades long postwar US-Japan alliance, where Japan continues to serve as an ever more […]

  • Ordinary People Want Peace

    What a thrill to be interviewed by former British diplomat Ian Proud! Don’t waste a minute: acquaint yourself with him here on his homepage, which he elegantly calls “Proud Diplomat.” Notice also his book, A Misfit In Moscow. Ian is, of course, also on Substack, where he calls himself The Peace Monger, and recently he […]

  • Iran Must Be Stopped: Here’s Why

    As you know Trump is gearing up to attack Iran. And I wanna be angry with him, but we must face the facts. Those Iranian assholes have to be stopped. There’s no other way to look at it. (Click the links to see the proof.) Iran has 5,500 nuclear weapons. Iran has around 750 or […]
