  • Our blindness to whiteness

    During the COVID pandemic, I published a book titled The White-West: A Look in the Mirror. At the time, I did not imagine that only a few years later the dynamics I described would become so stark, so violent, and so openly visible. Today, many struggle to understand what is happening in the United States—and […]

  • Why Not Another Half Trillion Dollars for War?

    Why Not Another Half Trillion Dollars for War?

    Normally, when one develops all the symptoms of a disease, the response ought not to be exacerbating the disease, but seeking to cure it. Approaches to healthcare in the United States have gone off the rails, of course, but think about the disease of military spending. What are some of the symptoms we’ve suffered recently? […]

  • Capitalism’s General Crisis is Back with a Vengeance

    Why are we experiencing a period  of such crisis in international relations in Britain, Europe, the Americas and across the world? So many responses to this question fail to locate it in what the international communist movement has long called the “general crisis of capitalism.” At its base, capitalism cannot resolve the cyclical and structural […]

  • Trump’s Board of Peace Is a Dystopia in Motion

    While the sheer pomposity, Trumpian megalomania, and painfully paradoxical context surrounding the so-called “Board of Peace” (BoP) might tempt some to dismiss it as mere spectacle or farce, its criminal, inhumane, and hegemonic nature makes it far too dangerous to ignore. Last week, Trump and his new, thuggish boys’ club of heads of state publicly […]

  • Nicaragua’s Economy “Weathers Multiple Shocks” Including US Attacks

    The International Monetary Fund’s new assessment of Nicaragua’s economy labels it as “strong” no fewer than 56 times. But it also shows how key factors in the country’s growing prosperity – export earnings, trade relations and remittances (money sent by Nicaraguans living abroad) are vulnerable to US attacks. The IMF points out that US sanctions […]

  • Precarious Invitations: Israel’s President Isaac Herzog’s Visit to Australia

    Things are getting rather ropey on the invitation of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit Australia on February 8. It came amidst the anguish following the Bondi Beach attacks of December 14, 2025 on attendees of a Hanukkah event by two gunmen, leaving 15 dead. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese obviously thought it a sensible […]

  • Important Texts before the Trump Regime Starts Yet Another War on Iran and Its People

    Here is just a very short guide for the concerned: While you find little, or nothing, comprehensive, well-researched and meaningful in Western mainstream media, there are lots to be gained from every day visiting the online homes of, say, Al Jazeera, Al Mayadeen, the Middle East Eye — and others too, of course. Visit also […]

  • Is the UN Being Wrecked So Western Leaders Can Escape Justice from the ICC and ICJ?

    On Thursday UK MPs will debate the motion “That this House has considered the obligation to assess the risk of genocide under international law in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territories”. This follows an application from SNP MP Brendan O’Hara way back in June last year. As O’Hara said in his request, “it is to allow […]

  • Dooming the Chagos Deal: The Diego Garcia Dilemma

    When remote islands start to interest chatterboxes in think tanks and bureaucrats in foreign ministries, we can only assume that some matters will be exaggerated over others. With the Chagos Islands, there is one matter that is hard to exaggerate.  The plight of its indigenous population has been horrendous, treated with brutish contempt by the British […]

  • Latin America Pushes Back Against U.S. Intervention

    Photo: Nuestra America gathering in Bogotá, Colombia.

I just returned from an emergency gathering in Bogotá […]
