    The Government Is Turning America Into a Constitution-Free Zone

    There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. —James Madison How far would you really go to secure the nation’s borders in the so-called name of national security?

  • King Charles III: Policing the Republican Protests

    In Britain, pageantry has always been a palliative and plaster for the dark and dismal. Be it in times of crisis, the chance to put on an extravagant show, usually at vast expense, is not something to forego. Central to this entertainment complex is the Royal family, that archaic vestige of an era that refuses […]

  • Hypocritical Commemorations

    Selected days for commemoration serve one fundamental purpose. Centrally, they acknowledge the forgotten or neglected, while proposing to do nothing about it. It’s the priest’s confession, the chance for absolution before the next round of soiling. These occasions are often money-making exercises for canny businesses: the days put aside to remember mothers and fathers, for […]

  • No More Foreign Interference in Haiti!

    Today, the United Nations Security Council is holding consultations on the future of Haiti. No Haitian individuals or organizations will be present at the meeting.

  • UnFreedom Day to be Marked in Three Provinces

    Impoverished people are not free, and when the ANC and the government lie to us and tell us that we are free they insult our intelligence and our humanity. We are not free because we are assassinated and murdered by the izinkabi and the police. We are not free because our homes are attacked and […]
