The Trump Cabal’s “Apocalypse Again”
In Francis Ford’s Coppola’s brilliant 1979 film Apocalypse Now, we have the CIA ordering the assassination of a renegade colonel. Colonel Kurtz, played by Marlon Brando, rambled “Off the reservation” and simply went too far, even for the genocide loving US government in Vietnam.

The UN Has Voted to Put the Occupation of Iraq in Charge of Gaza
Ah, those were the days. The UN had been blocked by a worldwide popular movement from approving of a war on Iraq.

Minimal, unthreatening expressions of dissent may be tolerated in ostensible ‘democracies’. But public opinion needs to be managed, manipulated or, if necessary, simply ignored.

Imperialism and Anti-imperialism Collide in Ukraine (Part 2 of 16)
It was not surprising that the U.S.’s earsplitting anti-Russian uproar has recently slowed down considerably. Israel’s Zionist genocidal war on the Palestinian people entrapped in Gaza (occupied first in 1967, and then totally blockaded since 2005) stole the limelight. The momentary slowdown gave Russia some breathing time, and the U.S. a possible way out of […]
