  • “Biased” UN Report on Nicaragua Ignores Victims of US-backed Opposition Violence

    “Biased” UN Report on Nicaragua Ignores Victims of US-backed Opposition Violence

    One of scores of violent barricades, or tranques, created around Nicaragua during the 2018 coup attempt MASAYA, NICARAGUA – Reynaldo Urbina rides his motorbike around the streets of Masaya, Nicaragua, with agility, despite having only one arm. Nearly seven years ago, at the height of a US- supported coup attempt against Nicaragua’s left-wing Sandinista government, […]

  • Is Fascism on the Rise in Germany?

    The German establishment is in crisis. Is has ruled for 80 years by charting a middle course between progressive and conservative policies. Labor and business have cooperated to achieve social and economic stability. But that consensus isn’t functioning anymore. The standard of living is declining, crime is increasing, fear and anger infect social discourse. Nothing […]

  • Only Force Will Stop Genocide

    We have long passed the point of mobilizing world opinion against Israel’s shameless and wanton slaughter of countless defenseless civilian Palestinian men, women, children and even the unborn. They are countless because no one has the means to count those whose bodies have never been recovered, who have starved or frozen to death far from […]

  • America’s Gangster-Empire Destroying the U.N.

    Virtually all of the U.S. Government’s economic sanctions violate the U.N.’s Charter — and do it with impunity. No legal case exists justifying America’s hundreds of economic sanctions laws that have been passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by the U.S. President but not authorized by the U.N. — which latter entity is the […]

  • A Gift America Can’t Return

    The American police state has become America’s new crime boss. Thirty years after then-President Bill Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act into law, its legacy of mass incarceration, police militarization, and over-criminalization continues to haunt us. It has become the gift that America can’t seem to return. We are now suffering […]

  • Is the Constitution Becoming Optional?

    Is the Constitution Becoming Optional?

    Rights aren’t rights if someone can take them away. They’re privileges. That’s all we’ve ever had in this country is a ‘Bill of Temporary Privileges.’ And if you read the news, even badly, you know that the list gets shorter and shorter. —George Carlin Disguising its power grabs in the self-righteous fervor of national security, […]

  • Who Should Get a Presidential Pardon but Won’t!

    President Joe Biden has pardoned his son, Hunter, after having repeatedly promised that he would not.  Biden justifies this act based upon his presumption (likely accurate) that Hunter’s denial of a plea deal was on account of political opposition from Trump Republicans.  Nevertheless, Hunter’s consideration for a lenient plea deal was undoubtedly influenced by his […]

  • Gallic Stubbornness: France, Netanyahu and the ICC Arrest Warrants

    The comity of nations, at least when it comes to international humanitarian law, took a rather curious turn with the announcement by France that it would regard Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s immunity as unimpeachable even before an arrest warrant approved by the International Criminal Court.  This view was expressed despite France claiming to be […]

  • Arrest Warrants from The Hague

    The slow, often grinding machinery of international law has just received a push along with the issuing of three arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court. They are for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, and, rather incongruously, Hamas figure Mohammed Deif.  The last issue is somewhat odd given claims […]

  • Fencing the Ocean: Australia’s Social Media Safety Bill

    The Australian government is being run ragged in various quarters.  When ragged, such a beast is bound to seek a distraction. And what better than finding a vulnerable group, preferably children, to feel outraged and noble about? The Albanese government, armed such problematic instruments as South Australia’s Children (Social Media Safety) Bill 2024, which will […]
