  • Muddled Interventions: Haiti, the UN and Resolution 2699

    A country broken by constant foreign interventions, its tyrannical regimes propped up by the back brace of the United States (when it wasn’t intervening to adjust it), marred by appalling natural disasters, tells a sad tale of the crippled Haitian state.  Haiti’s political existence is the stuff and stuffing of pornographic violence, the crutch upon […]

  • A Lawless Land for the Few

    Where? Everywhere the few live! But there is one land that is the most lawless ever in favor of the few from the beginning of time and evermore, the United States of America (US)! The few, of course, are the few thousand, the power elite of America’s corpocracy, its industry chieftains and subordinate poohbahs in […]

  • Postcards from a Police State: 22 Years of Blowback from the USA Patriot Act

    Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. — Hermann Goering, German military commander […]

  • A Losing Voice: The Fall of an Indigenous Referendum Measure

    Even before October 14, The Voice, or, to describe in full, the Referendum on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament, was in dire straits.  Referenda proposals are rarely successful in Australia: prior to October 14, 44 referenda had been conducted since the creation of the Commonwealth in 1901.  Only eight had passed. […]

  • The Profit Incentives Driving the American Police State

    The Profit Incentives Driving the American Police State

    When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. ― Frédéric Bastiat, French economist Pay no heed to the circus politics coming out of Washington DC. It’s […]

  • Cruel Prerogatives: Braverman on Refugees at the AEI

    Suella Braverman has made beastliness a trait in British politics. The UK Home Secretary, fed on the mush and mash of anti-refugee sentiment, has been frantically trying to find her spot in the darkness of inhumanity. Audaciously, and with grinding ignorance, she persists in her rather grisly attempts to kill the central assumptions of international […]

    Authoritarian Control Freaks Want to Micromanage Our Lives

    Man is born free but everywhere is in chains. — Jean-Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract Authoritarian control freaks out to micromanage our lives have become the new normal or, to be more accurate, the new abnormal when it comes to how the government relates to the citizenry. This overbearing despotism, which pre-dates the COVID-19 hysteria, […]

  • The Danger that Lawfare against Trump Presents to the Progressive Movement

    Many have noted that the indictments of Trump ring of lawfare by the Biden administration. Donald Trump has now been indicted four times, and in blatant overkill, now faces 91 criminal charges. In New York alone  he was hit with 34 felonies for the payments to Stormy Daniels. Trump also faces felony charges for claiming […]

  • A few thoughts on the Russell Brand furore

    A few thoughts on the Russell Brand furore

    There are times when we would all be best advised to keep quiet and wait. But given that almost no one seems willing to hold their tongue on the latest claims being made about Russell Brand, I feel compelled – wisely or unwisely – to make a few tentative observations: not on the allegations, but […]
