  • Last Nation Standing ─ Iran

    By not responding to decades of Israel’s provocations with an attack on Israeli soil, Iran displayed patience. The Islamic Republic rulers realized the provocations were becoming harsher, more damaging, and without stopping; it was time to respond. Their response was notable; a mild rebuke that showed power and unwillingness to harm civilians, unlike the offensive […]

  • US Reimposes Illegal and Inhumane Oil Sanctions on Venezuela

    A minute after midnight on April 18, the US reimposed coercive economic measures designed to cripple Venezuela’s oil industry. Later that day, the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved a new sanctions bill on Nicaragua. Meanwhile, Cuba protested the US’s six-decade blockade as talks resumed between the two countries on migration. At a time of […]

  • Warrantless Surveillance Makes a Mockery of the Constitution

    Whether he wrote DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER, or whether he refrained from writing it, made no difference … The Thought Police would get him just the same … the arrests invariably happened at night … In the vast majority of cases there was no trial, no report of the arrest. People simply disappeared, always during […]

  • America’s Now Evident Plan to Use AUKUS to Spark War With China

    America’s Now Evident Plan to Use AUKUS to Spark War With China

    There was much concern, in international circles, about the the U.S. Government’s recent efforts to open a NATO office in Tokyo so as to extend its military alliance against Russia to become also a military alliance against China. When that initiative scared some other NATO members, it was stopped, and the fear temporarily subsided. But […]

  • 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 […]

    Germany confirms its collaboration with genocide

    The photo is a screen shot from Press TV showing a demo protest against the shutdown of the conference. A three day Palestine conference in Berlin was forcibly shut down after three hours on Friday. Electricity was abruptly terminated in the midst of the presentation by Salman Abu Sitta, the 87 year old author of […]

  • Iran Warns U.S. to “Stay away” from Conflict with Israel

    Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Saturday warned the U.S. about “any support for Israel or involvement in harming Iran’s interests,” according to a statement. U.S. President Joe Biden said he met with his national security team for an update on Iran’s attacks on Israel and the U.S. commitment to Israel’s security against threats […]

  • Secret Agreements: The Australian-Israel Defence Memorandum of Understanding

    While the Australian government continues to pirouette with shallow constancy on the issue of Israel’s war in Gaza, making vacuous utterances on Palestinian statehood even as it denies supplying the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) with weapons (spare parts, it would seem, are a different, footnoted matter), efforts made to unearth details of the defence relationship […]

  • 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 […]
