  • Does Canada Uphold Binding International Law?

    The Canadian government repeatedly tells the world that Canada upholds an international rules-based order that is the basis of democracy. What the Canadian government says is not true. The evidence that it is not true is indisputable. There is widespread concern that social media is putting out disinformation, that this practice is dangerous and harmful […]

  • The US Supreme Court Outs the Imperial Presidency

    The US Supreme Court has much to answer for.  In the genius of republican government, it operates as overseer and balancer to the executive and legislature.  Of late, the judges have seemingly confused that role. In contrast to its other Anglophone counterparts, the highest tribunal in the US professes an open brand of politics, with […]

  • The U.S. Has Imposed Sanctions on Georgia and Nicaragua …

    Source: Georgia Today Politicians in the small Caucasian nation of Georgia have been sanctioned by Washington for “undermining democracy” and depriving Georgian people of “fundamental freedoms,” simply because its parliament has passed a law to control foreign influence over Georgian politics.

  • The Release of Julian Assange: Plea Deals and Dark Legacies

    One of the longest sagas of political persecution is coming to its terminus.  That is, if you believe in final chapters.  Nothing about the fate of Julian Assange seems determinative.  His accusers and inquisitors will draw some delight at the plea deal reached between the WikiLeaks founder’s legal team and the US Department of Justice.  […]

The universal feature of ownership, at least […]

    It was given top billing, a near absurd show intended to rope in content on a global social media platform, thereby denying all outside Australia access to it.  Because an Australian official had deemed a video too disturbing and offensive for Australians of ordinary sensibility (the standard remains opaquely absurd), the world’s citizenry were also […]

  • The Demise of Roe v. Wade

    The Demise of Roe v. Wade

    The overturning of Roe v. Wade was the result of decades of relentless effort and strategic maneuvering by a determined religious and right wing coalition, and, the underestimation of the power of this movement by the liberal establishment. Recency bias puts Donald Trump and his appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court at the forefront of those […]
