  • Opinion: Geopolitical Context of the Embattled Climate Racket

    Summary Several global generic ideologies were seeded by the USA-controlled United Nations (UN) of the early 1990s, following the dissolution of the USSR, and were actively percolated into all Western institutions (education, propaganda instruments, law, governance, hiring policies, etc.) (Rancourt, 2019). These delivered generic ideologies became tied to and protected by strong career and institutional […]

  • Who’s to Blame? Political Action, Personal Accountability, and Human Nature

    [A version of this essay was presented at the Taos Community of Love service on October 19, 2025.] I know this isn’t a conventional church service, but I would like to start with scripture: “The moral high ground is a dangerous place to stand, even when it’s warranted.” That’s not really scripture but rather a sentence […]

  • Techno-Feudalism or Food Sovereignty?

    The control of global agriculture has long been a tentacle of US state-corporate geopolitical strategy. The Green Revolution was exported courtesy of oil-rich interests, and poorer nations adopted Western agri-capital’s chemical- and oil-dependent model of agriculture that required loans for inputs and related infrastructure development. It resulted in trapping nations into a globalised system of […]

  • Did 1.4 billion Chinese Achieving Poverty Alleviation Cut into Washington’s Cake?

    Did 1.4 billion Chinese Achieving Poverty Alleviation Cut into Washington’s Cake?

    The hopeless fault-finder. Illustration: Liu Rui/GT These days the People’s Republic of China is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Over the past 75 years, China has grown from a poor and backward country to the world’s second-largest economy, with about one-sixth of the world’s population escaping poverty. However, as China continued to rise, the US’ attitude […]

  • The New Normal Right

    OK, this will be one of my non-satirical essays … or mostly non-satirical essays. It will serve as a companion piece to The New Normal Left, another non-satirical essay that I published in April 2023, which was basically just a reiteration of a speech I gave at a conference in London. It went over pretty […]

  • “Intellectual Hick”: Sorting Out Our Complex Identities

    I am from rural America, sort of. I’m an intellectual, sort of. I’m certainly on the political left, but some comrades believe I’m turned conservative. Like many people, I don’t fit easily into conventional labels used in today’s polarized political debates. To understand me—and anyone else—takes some sorting out. Here’s how I sort myself out. […]

  • The ASIO Astrologers: Terror Threats and Radicalisation Down Under

    Bureaucrats tasked with protecting national security are often inclined to encourage insecurity.  It’s all part of the job prescription.  The imperative is understandable if chillingly amoral: increased budgets are demanded to counter threats, however spectral; justifications for existing budgets needlessly bloated are always sought.  In the Cold War, an old favourite was the teeth-chattering concern […]

  • Recapturing White Rhetoric for Socialist Agitating

    Recapturing White Rhetoric for Socialist Agitating

    Orientation Leninist and anarchist shortcomings in relation to rhetoric A little over three years ago I wrote an article about how bad Mordor Leninists and anarchists are about knowing about, let alone using rhetorical rhetoric. The article is titled Socialist Rhetorical and Dialectical Communication: Overcoming Brainwashing, Propaganda and Entertainment These areas of bumbling included: Initiation […]

  • Unbecoming American: The Nihilists at Prayer

    Unbecoming American: The Nihilists at Prayer

    The Democratic-Republicans at prayer Those who may recall, if only vaguely, the early chapters of their secondary school history books, may recognize- if not remember- that the original name of the “party of Jefferson” was the Democratic-Republicans. In the first years of the American Empire, the government was in the hands of the Federalist Party, […]

  • Fascism: What’s in a Word?

    The word “fascism” is a lightning rod. No one wants to be called a fascist. Everyone is ready to call someone else a fascist. Like many highly charged words, the more common its usage becomes, the more inexact its meaning becomes. Today, Trump is a fascist, Putin is a fascist, Modi is a fascist, Radical […]
