  • When Scott Morrison Met Nemesis

    There are few surprises regarding the final episode of Nemesis, the three-part account on how the Australian Liberal Party, in partnership with the dozy Nationals, psychotically and convulsively disembowelled themselves from the time Tony Abbott won office in 2013.  Over the muddy gore and violence concluding the tenures of Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull, one plotter […]

  • Why the US Is Reimposing Sanctions on Venezuela

    Even the US business magazine Forbes expressed surprise at the reimposition of US sanctions on Venezuela’s gold sales and its threat to do the same with oil. The oil sanctions especially, if reinstated, would precipitate higher gas prices and further debilitate the Venezuelan economy, forcing more people to leave the country out of economic necessity. […]

  • When Courts Intervene: Halting the Transfer of F-35 Parts to Israel

    Legal challenges regarding the Israel-Gaza War are starting to bulk lawyers’ briefs and courtroom proceedings.  South Africa got matters underway with its December application before the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in its campaign against the Palestinians.  While determining whether genocide has taken place, the ICJ issued an interim order warning Israel […]

  • The Global Deep State

    The madmen are in power. — Philip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle The debate over U.S. foreign aid is a distraction. That’s not to say that the amount of taxpayer money flowing to foreign countries in the form of military and economic assistance is insignificant. Even at less than 1% of the […]

  • Feathery Infiltrators: The Case of the Pigeon Spy

    Animals have, at times, been given the same dismissively nasty treatment humans love giving themselves.  Be it detention, torture, trial, and execution, the unwitting creatures can be found in the oddest situations, anthropomorphised with all the characteristics of will, thought and intention.  By way of ghastly example, the Norman city of Falaise hosted the execution […]

  • Americans Deserve Fairer Social Security Taxes

    Social Security has been a financial rock for seniors ever since benefits first began flowing in 1940. For decades though, for those above an income threshold, pieces of that rock have been chiseled away: a 1983 law makes up to 50 percent of benefits subject to federal income taxes. Levying a tax on benefits was […]

  • Washington Promotes Opposition Candidate Setting the Stage for Delegitimizing the Venezuelan Presidential Election

    Despite continuous US-led hybrid warfare to overthrow the socialist project, this month marks the 25th anniversary of the Bolivarian Revolution. The Venezuelan government of President Nicolás Maduro has successfully forced the US to de facto engage with it, although Washington still maintains the fiction that the defunct 2015 National Assembly is the “last remaining democratic […]

  • When Times Were Better: Victoria’s Ties with Israel’s Defence Industry

    Times were supposedly better in 2022.  That is, if you were a lawmaker in the Australian state of Victoria, a busy Israeli arms manufacturer, or cash counting corporate middleman keen to make a stash along the way between the two.  That view is premised on the notion that what happened on October 7, 2023 in […]
