  • How can the British Establishment maintain credibility in proscribing a non-violent direct action group as a terrorist organization?

    In proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, along with criminalizing many of those who have challenged this government policy decision, the British Government has opened itself up to criticism and ridicule. In the past few months alone, there have been over 2,000 politically motivated arrests, mostly of elderly people who have held up placards […]

  • Epstein Files: Don’t Hold Your Breath

    I have noticed supposed left organizations considering the Epstein files their secret weapon and naively pouring energy into advocating release. It is a doomed strategy. Is it insightful that Trump has not already released the Epstein Files? Of course it is, partially because it indicates the state is probably hiding something, but more so because […]

  • Nobel Committee Tried Its Best to Give Trump a Peace Prize

    Nobel Committee Tried Its Best to Give Trump a Peace Prize

    The Nobel Committee has frequently given the peace prize to major war makers, and frequently to do-gooders whose work in a variety of fields has been unrelated to abolishing war. It has also often given the prize to opponents and victims of the Western empire. But it has never given the prize to open advocates […]

  • Real Deal: A Manifesto for All Working Americans

    The story of humanity is a story of struggle, not just between classes, but against all forms of oppression. We face a rigged system where the powerful exploit us as workers and consumers, as well as based on our differences of identity. Further, the cultural parts of our political economic system socialize us to internalize […]

  • 32% of Mass Shooters Are Veterans. 0% of Media Outlets Will Say So.

    Two U.S. military veterans allegedly shot and killed at least three people each this past weekend, Thomas Jacob Sanford in Michigan, and Nigel Max Edge in North Carolina. So, it is a safe bet that they will both be added (with, almost certainly, no mention of their status as veterans) to the database maintained by […]

  • Predatory Culture and the Nasty Naked Ape

    Why did humans, who lived for 40,000 years as egalitarian hunter-gatherers, become farmers and abandon equality for a dominance hierarchy permeated with all kinds of nastiness, including war, slavery, and exploitation?   It has remained a mystery why, ten thousand years ago, as farmers, most of humanity moved to social structures dominated by a tiny minority, […]

  • How to Tell When Authoritarians Become Fascists

    The times they are a-changin. And quickly. And not in a good way. And it’s scary. The façade of democracy is being ripped away by politicians who never liked it but lately feel emboldened to admit it. Most important of all, they have begun to act like unapologetic authoritarians. And brag about it. Suddenly the […]

  • “90% of Nicaraguans Feel Spied Upon” – True, or Fake News?

    The “spied upon” headline from El Pais is unequivocal. The story, in the newspaper’s English-language edition, says that Nicaraguans live in “a climate of permanent surveillance” in which they distrust even their neighbors. Further, apparently harmless community meetings are really “a mechanism of social control” where they “feel watched.” El Pais sources a survey carried […]

  • There Was a Boat. That Was the Only True Part.

    There Was a Boat. That Was the Only True Part.

    This was what the President of the United States initially lied: “Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. TDA is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, operating under the control of Nicolas Maduro, responsible for mass murder, drug […]

  • Narcissism, Misogyny, Racism, and Fascism: Not Just a Trump thing

    Narcissism, Misogyny, Racism, and Fascism: Not Just a Trump thing

    Note: This article below appears in the Lincoln County Leader, and I am waiting for the same rejoinder that the little county of Lincoln is running each Wednesday before my radio show, Finding Fringe, to appear on the Editorial page of a newspaper over 100 years old: Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this […]
