    Let’s Think About How to Build a More Peaceful World

    Although the current U.S. presidential campaign has focused almost entirely on domestic issues, Americans live on a planet engulfed in horrific wars, an escalating arms race, and repeated threats of nuclear annihilation. Amid this dangerous reality, shouldn’t we give some thought to how to build a more peaceful future? Back in 1945, toward the end […]

  • The People’s Court of New Normal Germany (Part Two)

    So, my second trial for alleged thoughtcrime-tweeting is going ahead as planned on August 15 in Berlin Superior Court (Das Kammergericht). Full-blown anti-terrorism security protocols will be in effect in the courtroom. Yes, that’s right, the Berlin Superior Court denied my attorney’s motion to rescind their special Security Order, so the German authorities will be […]

  • Open Letter to Israel: I Want My Country Back

    To: The State of Israel, AIPAC and the International Zionist Movement I write as an American citizen. You have stolen my country, and I want it back. I did not ask for my country to be complicit in the ongoing genocide and attempted eradication of the people of Gaza and Palestine. I do not want […]

  • Assange, CIA Surveillance and Spain’s Audencia Nacional

    The sordid story on the CIA-backed operation against the WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange during his time cramped in London’s Ecuadorian Embassy continues to froth and thicken. US officials have persisted in their reticent attitude, refusing to cooperate with Spain’s national high court, the Audiencia Nacional, regarding its investigation into the Agency’s espionage operations against the […]

  • The Right to Not Be Lied To: Making the Case for Truth in Politics

    The Right to Not Be Lied To: Making the Case for Truth in Politics

    Q: “How can you tell if a politician is lying?” A: “When his lips are moving.” The First Amendment assures us of a right to free speech. It does not, unfortunately, explicitly assure us of a right to not be lied to by our government and its various officials. Any hope of holding government officials […]

  • Greasing Palms: The Thales Blueprint for Corruption

    It is a point verging on the trite: an arms corporation suspected of engaging in corrupt practices, spoiling dignitaries and officials and undermining the body politic.  But one such corporation is France’s Thales defence group, which saw raids on their offices in France, the Netherlands and Spain on June 26 and June 28.  The prosecutors […]

  • 30 Days at Sde Teiman, Israel’s Torture Camp

    30 Days at Sde Teiman, Israel’s Torture Camp

    I assure the children that Ahmad is fine, that he’s coming back soon, but to live through this war, the constant displacement, the bombing and also have to fight to know where your husband is, not to hear his voice, is like a war within the war. –Alaa Muhanna, interview with Amnesty International Horrific testimonies […]

  • The People’s Court of New Normal Germany

    Just when I thought things could not possibly get more shockingly totalitarian in New Normal Germany, where I’m being prosecuted in criminal court (for the second time) for tweeting, the German authorities have gone and surprised me again. No, they haven’t established an actual Nazi-style People’s Court (pictured above) yet, and, of course, there is […]

  • Engineering a Crisis: How Political Theater Helps the Deep State Stay in Power

    Engineering a Crisis: How Political Theater Helps the Deep State Stay in Power

    A failed assassination attempt on a presidential candidate. An incumbent president withdrawing his re-election bid at the 11th hour. A politicized judiciary that fails to hold the powers-that-be accountable to the rule of law. A world at war. A nation in turmoil. This is what controlled chaos looks like. This year’s election-year referendum on which […]
