  • Stop Drinking the Political Kool-Aid, America: Voting Will Not Save Us

    Stop Drinking the Political Kool-Aid, America: Voting Will Not Save Us

    We are one year out from the 2024 presidential election and as usual, the American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us. Yet what is being staged is not an election. It’s a con game, a scam, a grift, a hustle, […]

  • The World Say NO to US Blockade of Cuba

    At the United Nations this week, the world community has overwhelmingly spoken out against the relentless U.S. embargo on Cuba. Yet President Biden remains unmoved, stubbornly clinging to the anachronic policies that are deliberately and systematically causing harm to the well-being of more than 11 million Cubans. Despite the world’s condemnation of the blockade every […]

  • Taking the Refugee Hysteria off Ice

    There are many reasons why Australian foreign policy can be viewed from the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe. For one, it is largely dictated, in terms of security, by the competitive, acquisitive urgings of the United States.  Fictional reassurances are offered to supposedly calm nerves in Canberra against phantom threats: extended nuclear deterrence, the […]

  • Rishi Sunak’s AI Pitch: The Bletchley Declaration

    British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak looks as much a deep fake projection as a thin, superficial representation of reality.  His robotic, risible awkwardness makes a previous occupant of his office, Theresa May, look soppily human in comparison.  But at the AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park, the nervous system of code breaking during the Second […]

  • Israel’s Big Lie of “Self-Defence”

    Is the mass slaughter of civilians self-defence? Every person has the right to life and to self-defence, but Israel’s “right to self-defence” is constantly being used to obfuscate the non-defensive nature of its military violence in Palestinian territory. Israel’s self-defence is a lie, not just because their actions are not defensive but because Israel cannot […]

  • Authoritarians Drunk on Power

    Authoritarians Drunk on Power

    There is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? […]

  • Oh, Wow, It’s Raining JDAMs and White Phosphorus Again

    Oh, Wow, It’s Raining JDAMs and White Phosphorus Again

    I’ve been thinking for quite awhile how the most depraved position of the Israeli government becomes the baseline view here in the United States, particularly in politics and media. It makes sense that the genocidal, racist, colonial project of Israel would find admiration in the ruling class of a nation founded on indigenous genocide and […]

  • Muddled Interventions: Haiti, the UN and Resolution 2699

    A country broken by constant foreign interventions, its tyrannical regimes propped up by the back brace of the United States (when it wasn’t intervening to adjust it), marred by appalling natural disasters, tells a sad tale of the crippled Haitian state.  Haiti’s political existence is the stuff and stuffing of pornographic violence, the crutch upon […]

  • Monsters with Human Faces Wreak Havoc on Our Freedoms

    But these weren’t the kind of monsters that had tentacles and rotting skin, the kind a seven-year-old might be able to wrap his mind around—they were monsters with human faces, in crisp uniforms, marching in lockstep, so banal you don’t recognize them for what they are until it’s too late. ― Ransom Riggs, Miss Peregrine’s […]

  • International Community Faces Acid Test on Gaza

    International Community Faces Acid Test on Gaza

    I never thought I’d live to see a British prime minister warmly embracing a war criminal and genocidal thug like Netanyahu, go swanning around a hotel (the King David) which was used as the Jerusalem headquarters of the British Mandate aúthority and blown up by Jewish terrorists in 1946, killing 91 and wounding 45, then […]
