  • On the Call Not to Protest in Chicago

    On the Call Not to Protest in Chicago

    Vice President Kamala Harris in August 2021. (White House /Erin Scott) Two college professors who studied and lived in the 1960s recently published an  opinion piece in The Los Angeles Times urging dissidents not to protest at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The first paragraph is a stark example of uber-liberals suffering from Trump […]

  • Political Pretence: The Democrats and the Palestinians

    The fact that the Democrats currently occupy the White House has done little to ruffle the equation of blood and gore in the Middle East, notably regarding the fate of the Palestinians.  The ongoing Israeli campaign of stunning ruthlessness against the Gaza unfortunates is certainly a worry for some Democratic strategists, if only because certain […]

  • The Ardent Pipe Dreams of American Voters

    The Ardent Pipe Dreams of American Voters

    To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It’s irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober. — Eugene O’Neill, The Iceman Cometh, Written […]

  • Kamala Harris: Papier-mâché Coronation

    How aristocratic it all sounds, if only in a playground, papier-mâché sense.  The language of the estates, the “crowning,” the “coronation,” words repurposed for republican politics, is much in evidence with Kamala Harris, who is all but guaranteed formal nomination at the Democratic Party Convention as US presidential candidate.  She has now secured the necessary […]

  • War, Genocide and Coups: Biden/Harris and the Irreversible Crisis of Neoliberal Fake Democracy

    One of the defining characteristics of the current crisis is the speed at which contradictory social, political and ideological dynamics can change with contradictions shifting from primary to secondary, antagonistic to non-antagonist and conflicts of interests, as well as struggles among the capitalist oligarchy producing new intra-bourgeois class alignments. The replacement of Joe Biden as […]

  • Puppet Realisations: Biden Stands Aside

    Having been endorsed as the only viable candidate to battle Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential elections, Joe Biden was subsequently browbeaten and harried into leaving the way open for another candidate.  It involved some movement of political furniture, but nothing more. The process resulting in Biden’s decision had increasingly bulked over the last two […]

  • Biden Drops Out, Endorses Harris

    Kamala’s negatives are even worse than Biden’s. That said, now that he has endorsed her – the party will have to accept her as their nominee. It is going to be a landslide for Trump. He will easily hit and surpass the 270 electoral votes needed to become the next President of the United States […]

  • Trump got a bloodied ear: US “political violence” poses a far bigger danger to the rest of us

    Trump got a bloodied ear: US “political violence” poses a far bigger danger to the rest of us

    The outpouring of opinions on the attempted assassination of Donald Trump mostly offers little insight or honesty – apart from the all-too-obvious concern that the shooting of the former president is likely to make the United States even more of a tinderbox than it is already. There’s a reason for this. The responses – whether […]

  • The Convulsed Republic: The Shooting of Donald Trump

    As a nation, the United States, as if we did not already know, is convulsed.  Paranoid and divided, giddy with conspiracy and deranged by a fear of totalitarian seizure, hyper partisan and hostile to debate and any loose definition of facts (this condition afflicts the entire political spectrum), the only thing missing so far was […]

  • Why George Clooney, Peter Welch, and the New York Times, Are Dangerous

    Why George Clooney, Peter Welch, and the New York Times, Are Dangerous

    I opposed the invasion of Iraq by Bush in 2003 — which destroyed that country — even before it was perpetrated. George Clooney, Peter Welch, the New York Times, and other liars or fools of liars, did not. I opposed the bombing of Libya by Obama in 2011 — which destroyed that country — even […]
