  • NEW: Portal for Tracking Genocidal Incitement Against Palestinians

    For the last year, since October 7, Law For Palestine has been documenting genocidal incitement against Palestinians by Israeli government officials, military personnel, and public figures. We partnered with them to launch a new portal to house this crucial data, which they regularly update as a resource for legal action, advocacy, and ensuring justice for the […]

  • Disinformation Isn’t the Problem: Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

    Disinformation Isn’t the Problem: Government Coverups and Censorship Are the Problem

    What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer… And a […]

  • License to Muzzle: Taking Offence at Flag Wavers for Hezbollah

    License to Muzzle: Taking Offence at Flag Wavers for Hezbollah

    It was done for the Viet Cong in numerous countries during the US involvement in Vietnam.  It was done for the African National Congress (ANC). It was done for the Irish Revolutionary Army (IRA).  Across the United States, Europe and Australasia, all three organisations, demonised as terrorist outfits, received tacit, symbolic support from protestors.  In […]

  • Raw Deals: The Continued Shafting of the Chagossians

    Raw Deals: The Continued Shafting of the Chagossians

    It was a spectacular example of a non-event, alloyed by pure symbolism and cynicism.  Here was a British government offering – how generous of them – to return sovereignty over the Chagos Islands, whose residents had been brutally displaced between 1965 to 1973, to Mauritius. In an October 3 joint statement between London and Port […]

  • A Declaration of War on the Poor

    On 16 September we marched in our thousands in Ballito to oppose evictions and racism. However, the attacks on the poor are escalating and the Dolphin Coast Residents & Ratepayers’ Association have made a public declaration of war against one of our branches. Since the formation of the Government of National Unity there has been […]

  • Australian Officials Push Authoritarian Crackdown on Pro-Hezbollah Speech

    Australian Officials Push Authoritarian Crackdown on Pro-Hezbollah Speech

    As Israel begins another invasion of Lebanon, Australian officials from both sides of the imaginary partisan divide have been falling all over themselves to get Australians punished for speech crimes about the Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah. The Australian political-media class have been in an uproar ever since footage surfaced of people waving Hezbollah flags at […]

  • Unrealisable Justice: Julian Assange in Strasbourg

    Unrealisable Justice: Julian Assange in Strasbourg

    It was good to hear that voice again. A voice of provoking interest that pitter patters, feline across a parquet, followed by the usual devastating conclusion. Julian Assange’s last public address was made in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. There, he was a guest vulnerable to the capricious wishes of changing governments. At Belmarsh Prison […]

  • Don’t Trust the Government. Not with Your Freedoms

    Don’t Trust the Government. Not with Your Freedoms

    In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution. —Thomas Jefferson Public trust in the government to “do what is right” understandably remains at an all-time low. After all, how do you trust a government that continuously sidesteps […]

  • The Black Alliance for Peace Condemns U.S. Convictions of Uhuru 3 As A Fascist Farce

    After being forced to acquit Omali Yeshitela, Jesse Nevel, and Penny Hess – the “Uhuru 3” – on being agents of Russia, a U.S. federal court jury resorted to the sham conviction of “conspiracy,” in what amounted to them being guilty of internationalism and the work of liberating African people. The state’s claim is that […]

  • Childish Fantasies: Age Verification for Social Media Down Under

    The Australian government has been in a banning mood of late.  In keeping with an old, puritanical tradition, the killjoys and wowsers have seized the reins of power and snorting a good deal while doing so.  In important matters such as anti-corruption and environmental protection, the government of Anthony Albanese is showing fewer teeth and […]
