  • The Hidden Genocide in Ethiopia

    The Hidden Genocide in Ethiopia

    The Ethiopia of Abiy Ahmed and his Prosperity Party, is a dark and frightening place,  where anyone challenging the government are at risk of violence and arrest. People from the Amhara ethnic group are particularly targeted; killing of Amhara men, women and children is a daily occurrence in what constitutes a genocidal campaign of hate […]

  • Bishops Rapped over Feeble Response to Holy Land Genocide

    Are we seeing, at last, the beginnings of a revolution in the Anglican Church against its leaders’ cowardice over Israel’s genocide of Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land? On 31 October the Church of England House of Bishops issued a statement on Israel’s genocide against Palestinians which two clergymen in Cambridge found”profoundly inadequate as […]

  • Purgatorial Torments: Assange and the UK High Court

    What is it about British justice that has a certain rankness to it, notably when it comes to dealing with political charges?  The record is not good, and the ongoing sadistic carnival that is the prosecution (and persecution) of Julian Assange continues to provide meat for the table. Those supporting the WikiLeaks publisher, who faces […]

    Rule by Criminals: When Dissidents Become Enemies of the State

    When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals. In the current governmental climate, obeying one’s conscience and speaking truth to the power of the police state can easily render you an “enemy of the state.” The government’s list of so-called “enemies of the state” is growing by […]

  • Assange’s ‘reprieve’ is another lie, hiding the real goal of keeping him endlessly locked up

    Assange’s ‘reprieve’ is another lie, hiding the real goal of keeping him endlessly locked up

    The interminable and abhorrent saga of Julian Assange’s incarceration for the crime of journalism continues. And once again, the headline news is a lie, one designed both to buy our passivity and to buy more time for the British and US establishments to keep the Wikileaks founder permanently disappeared from view. The Guardian – which […]

  • Why US Immigration Law Must be Federal

    It would seem to me that Texas immigration law is not only unconstitutional, but fails to meet the requirements of and violates the Treaty of Guadalupe. The definition, status of Mexican nationals in the American southwest on what is now US soil, immigration, and movement of peoples between the US and Mexico, is actually defined […]

  • Julian Assange and the Plea Nibble

    Be wary of what Washington offers in negotiations at the best of times.  The empire gives and takes when it can; the hegemon proffers and in equal measure withdraws offers it deems fit.  This is all well known to the legal team of WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange, who, the Wall Street Journal “exclusively” reveals, is […]

  • Still No Human Rights for the Poor

    The poor and marginalised have not seen any gains in almost 30 years of democracy. The poor remain poor and unemployment, poverty and inequality are worse today than at the end of apartheid. Many more people live in shacks than in 1994. Those who live in shack settlements continue to be denied access to basic […]

  • The Language of Force: How the Police State Muzzles Our Right to Speak Truth to Power

    The Language of Force: How the Police State Muzzles Our Right to Speak Truth to Power

    Tyrants don’t like people who speak truth to power. Cue the rise of protest laws, which take the government’s intolerance for free speech to a whole new level and send the resounding message that resistance is futile. In fact, ever since the Capitol protests on January 6, 2021, state legislatures have introduced a broad array […]

  • Complicity in Gaza: Holding US Foreign Policy Legally Accountable

    On March 15, the next stage of an intriguing legal process seeking to hold the Biden administration accountable for its failure to prevent, as well as being complicit in, alleged acts of genocide taking place in Gaza, was taken.  It all stems from a lawsuit filed last November in the US District Court for the […]
