  • A Long Overdue Legal Initiative: Charges of Genocide against Ukraine

    Good for Russia! And cautiously, good for international law! The International Criminal Court (ICJ), an institution with scant juridical credibility, which was founded under the auspices of the collective West and remains effectively under its control, has agreed to consider Russia’s submission wherein the neo-Nazi Ukrainian regime is charged with committing genocide against Ukrainian citizens, […]

  • Go Tell It on the Mountain: Genocide is Wrong

    Israel and its partners continue waging genocide against Palestinian people. Those who, so far, have survived the hideous attacks since October 7, 2023, now face ongoing jeopardy.

  • Racist and Mendacious Australia: Cowardly and Unethical ABC Under-counts Gaza Deaths

But what is it that explains […]

  • Terrorists: NOT a Love Story!

    Being a baby boomer who protested against the Vietnam debacle, what the Trump regime is now doing is disgusting. All this week we see Republican Congressional minions and members of the Trump gang standing in front of cameras calling those who peacefully protest as Terrorists. Webster’s dictionary defines a terrorist as ” A person who […]

  • As Jesus Would Do

    America loves war. Not peace. Not justice. War. It baptizes bombs in democracy and calls the ashes liberation. It funds genocide with tax dollars and calls it foreign aid. It builds empires on the backs of brown bodies, then asks the world to applaud its “exceptionalism.” Jay Janson, the people’s historian, has been shouting this […]
