  • A New Mood in the World Will Put an End to the Global Monroe Doctrine

    A New Mood in the World Will Put an End to the Global Monroe Doctrine

    Tagreed Darghouth (Lebanon), from the series The Tree Within, a Palestinian Olive Tree, 2018. Every day since 7 October has felt like an International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, with hundreds of thousands gathering in Istanbul, a million in Jakarta, and then yet another million across Africa and Latin America to demand an end to the brutal attack being carried out by […]

  • Toronto Police Arrest Palestine Activists, Should Target Heather Reisman

    Aggressive pre-dawn police raids on homes and charging individuals with hate crimes for posting social justice messages is legal overreach at best and “thought crimes” reflecting creeping fascism at worst. Truth is Heather Reisman, not those putting up posters, is the one who should have been charged with breaking Canadian law. Between 4:30 and 6 […]

  • Rot in the Civil Service: Farewelling Mike Pezzullo

    There was no better example of Australia’s politicised public service than its Home Affairs Secretary, Mike Pezzullo.  In most other countries, he would have been the ideal conspirator in a coup, a tittletattler in the ranks and bound to brief against those he did not like.  Give him a dagger, and he was bound to […]

  • Shaping the Political Race

    The divisive America of today longs for the time when the country united in one mission and selected a leader it could trust to accomplish the mission. The year is 1940 and the New York Times estimates that incumbent president, Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. (FDR), a non-declared and drafted candidate for the Democratic Party (D) […]

  • What If the Constitution No Longer Applied?

    What If the Constitution No Longer Applied?

    We are approaching critical mass, the point at which all hell breaks loose. The government is pushing us ever closer to a constitutional crisis. What makes the outlook so much bleaker is the utter ignorance of the American people—and those who represent them—about their freedoms, history, and how the government is supposed to operate. As […]

  • A Duty to Obey: David McBride, Whistleblowing and Following Orders

    The unpardonable, outrageous trial of Australian whistleblower David McBride was a brief affair.  On November 13, it did not take long for the brutal power of the Commonwealth to become evident.  McBride, having disclosed material that formed the Australian public about alleged war crimes by special forces in Afghanistan, was going to be made an […]

  • Korea: Colonized, Plundered, Divided, Devastated by War, under Ongoing Threat of War

    The War on Korea (1950-53) was suspended with an armistice agreement. A hostile truce has persisted ever since. With respect to that ongoing confrontation, what Americans get from their government and their news mass media abounds with crucial omissions and misleading distortions resulting in a false portrayal of the geopolitical realities. Relevant history and essential facts. The Fight […]

  • The Politics of Indefinite Detention in Australia

    The High Court of Australia is not known for its zealotry in protecting human rights, and certainly not when considering the persuasive pull of international law and conventions.  The Australian Parliament is usually given a generous hand in making policies that tend to outrage such conventions, a freedom made that much easier by an absence […]

  • Sunak’s Dad’s Army Option: David Cameron Returns

    Openly ignored by his incendiary, now ex-Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was left with few options.  Retaining her would continue a process of blighting his already precarious prime ministership, suggesting weakness and a distinct lack of authority.  Kicking her off the Cabinet front bench would, while reasserting some measure of control, […]

  • What is the Reason behind the Increased Attention of the United States to Kazakhstan?

    Recently, the White House has been intensifying its diplomatic work towards Kazakhstan, aimed at separating Astana from Moscow. Shortly after the C5+1 Summit in Washington, which was attended by the Presidents of the United States, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs Donald […]
