  • Australia, Biden, and Cancelling the Quad Visit

    Much needless fuss has been generated by President Joe Biden’s cancellation of his visit to Australia for the Quad meeting, a now regular gathering of leaders from the US, Japan, India and Australia. He had other things on his mind: dealing with fractious debt ceiling negotiations taking place back in the United States. Students of […]

  • WikiLeaks as Scapegoat for the Political Establishment

    Julian Assange is in prison, indefinitely and in blatant contravention of humanitarian norms. The US national security state has spoken and put its foot down, in a show of power which has subverted the true course of democracy. Sadly, the political will to sustain the persecution counteracts the political will to terminate it, though in […]

  • Imperial Protectionism: US Foreign Policy for the Middle Class

    What does a “foreign policy for the middle class” of the United States entail? President Joe Biden’s national security adviser is rather vague about this. But in a speech in April at the Brookings Institution, Jake Sullivan enunciated a few points that do much to pull the carpet from under the “rules-based international order”, unmasking […]

  • Business As Usual: Shutdown or Not, the Police State Will Continue to Flourish

    Business As Usual: Shutdown or Not, the Police State Will Continue to Flourish

    There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. —Ludwig von Mises Once again, the police state is up to its old tricks, stoking tensions over whether or not the government is forced to shut down, even partially, due to a default on the national debt.

    Confessions of a CIA Terrorist

    In 1975, Philip Agee published his book Inside the Company: CIA Diary. In the introduction he wrote, When I joined the CIA, I believed in the need for its existence.

  • The Tasmanian AFL Stadium Protest

    Every now and then, the sharpened, dedicated means of halting a monstrous white elephant before its birth can work.

In Tasmania protests of some magnitude against a proposed stadium for Australian Rules Football are […]

  • Exceptionism in US Empire

    Exceptionism in US Empire

    [S]uffice it to state that the US Guardian Elite are very much of and for the overworld of private wealth.

  • The US is No Democracy!

    I just love it when all the media political pundits and talk show hosts ( News Talk?) throw out that word Democracy. You don’t have to go to a ranch to find more bull excrement than that. Folks, this is not a democracy and probably never was one, all the way back to our founding. […]

    West Failed to Depose Erdogan Despite Openly Backing Opposition

    Although Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s victory in the second round of the presidential election in Turkey is almost assured ahead of the second round of votes, opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, in case of victory, would alter the country’s foreign policy and put the relationship with Russia into a framework that is acceptable to the US.
