  • UnFreedom Day to be Marked in Three Provinces

    Impoverished people are not free, and when the ANC and the government lie to us and tell us that we are free they insult our intelligence and our humanity. We are not free because we are assassinated and murdered by the izinkabi and the police. We are not free because our homes are attacked and […]

  • The War on Free Speech Is Really a War on the Right to Criticize the Government

    Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us? The constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal officials only our agents. We who have the final word can speak softly or angrily. We can […]

  • The Left and the Ukraine War

    To be a leftist in the United States is a dispiriting experience, but in the last year one of the more dispiriting things has been to see the attitude of many leftists themselves on a subject of crucial importance: the war in Ukraine. The consensus of the Washington establishment remains that the U.S. must support […]

  • Borrell and His Likes Should Avoid Leading Europe into a Ditch

    Borrell and His Likes Should Avoid Leading Europe into a Ditch

    The European Parliament just spent a whole week discussing China, and the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell will convene foreign ministers from across EU on April 24 local time to discuss the same topic. In anticipation of this meeting, Borrell published a column on April 22 urging […]

  • The 75-year Thievery of Joint Tax Returns

    Another tax season has ended, and more than 50 million returns arrived at the Internal Revenue Service marked “Married filing jointly”.  Few of the filers had any idea that joint returns—created in 1948 and modified in 1969—may be the oldest tax inequity in America. They’ve been picking various pockets for 75 years, and there’s little […]

  • Time Mustn’t Be Allowed to Run out on Julian Assange

    Time Mustn’t Be Allowed to Run out on Julian Assange

    Despite whatever charges Julian Assange may be accused of, it is well known that the WikiLeaks publisher was targeted for exposing the war crimes of the US government. In an upside-down Bizarro World, the screws are being ever so gradually tightened on Assange by the war criminals and their criminal accomplices. It is, in fact, […]

  • Scranton Joe Nevermore: It’s Always Been Delaware Joe

    In early March 2023, President Joe Biden embedded in his proposed 2024 budget to Congress revenue increases through tax measures that the rich and corporations do not like. Like his predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, he doesn’t really mean what he says. Biden’s four proposed increases are significant because they would restore the corporate […]

  • Cancelling Facts That Challenge Establishment Power

    Cancelling Facts That Challenge Establishment Power

    As we have noted before, a systemic feature of state-corporate media is propaganda by omission. Missing out salient facts, informed commentary and context about the machinations of government and big business means that the public is less able to: Understand the world around us; Challenge state-corporate power; and Bring about the fundamental changes in society […]

  • Libelled by the Bot: Reputation, Defamation, and AI

    Cometh the new platform, cometh new actions in law, the fragile litigant ever ready to dash off a writ to those with (preferably) deep pockets. And so, it transpires that artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, for all the genius behind their creation, are up for legal scrutiny and judicial redress. Certainly, some private citizens are getting […]

  • Penny Wong’s World View: AUKUS All the Way

    If anyone was expecting a new tilt, a shine of novelty, a flash of independence from Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s address to the National Press Club on April 17, they were bound to be disappointed. The anti-China hawks, talons polished, got their fill. The US State Department would not be disturbed. The Pentagon could […]
