    Mental Health Round-Ups: The Next Phase of the Government’s War on Thought Crimes

    Get ready for the next phase of the government’s war on thought crimes: mental health round-ups and involuntary detentions. Under the guise of public health and safety, the government could use mental health care as a pretext for targeting and locking up dissidents, activists and anyone unfortunate enough to be placed on a government watch […]

  • Daniel Ellsberg is Lauded in Death by the Same Media that Lets Assange Rot in Jail

    Daniel Ellsberg is Lauded in Death by the Same Media that Lets Assange Rot in Jail

    Rightly, there’s been an outpouring of tributes to Daniel Ellsberg following the announcement of his death last Friday, aged 92. His leaking of the Pentagon Papers in 1971 revealed that Washington officials had systematically lied for decades about US military conduct in Vietnam. The disclosure of 7,000 pages of documents, and subsequent legal battles to […]

    Why The Most Urgent Need, in Order to Prevent WW III, Is to End All Military Alliances Now

    World Wars I and II were contests between empires, and so America’s President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was determined that after WW II, all empires would be outlawed and all international relations (between nations) would be controlled only by a global all-inclusive federation of nations, which in 1941 he referred to would be called “the […]

    Circle the Wagons: The Government Is On the Warpath

    Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. — Harry S. Truman […]

  • Nauru’s Refugee Stain: Australia’s Continued Offshore Processing Regime

    The last refugee, for now, has left the small, guano-producing state of Nauru.  For a decade, the Pacific Island state served as one of Australia’s offshore prisons for refugees and asylum seekers, a cruel deterrent to those daring to exercise their right to seek asylum via the sea. Since July 2013, 3,127 people making the […]

  • A State of Martial Law: America Is a Military Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy

    A State of Martial Law: America Is a Military Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy

    What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? —Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, December 20, 1787, in Papers of Jefferson, ed. The government is goosestepping all over our freedoms. Case in point: America’s founders did not want a military […]

  • The Surging Arrogance of Corporatism

    Most heads of giant corporations are drunk with their own power. These corporate CEOs push the envelope in ways that harm defenseless people. They believe they can get away with anything, and they do, with few exceptions. The few corporate crime prosecutions keep declining from Obama to Trump to Biden, due to a settlement-obsessed Department […]

  • Daniel Ellsberg: The Establishment’s Whistleblower

    In 1972 Stanley K. Sheinbaum, chairman of the Pentagon Papers Fund, wrote with a hot pertinence that remains striking (at this time Julian Assange is facing grave prospects of being extradited to the United States) that both Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo had “struck a blow for us all when they gave the Pentagon Papers […]

  • FBI Make-Work Entrapment Schemes: Creating Criminals in Order to Arrest Them

    FBI Make-Work Entrapment Schemes: Creating Criminals in Order to Arrest Them

    Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. — Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146 We’re not dealing with a government that exists to serve its people, protect their liberties and ensure their happiness. Rather, we are the unfortunate victims of the diabolical machinations […]

  • Uneasy Locations: The Russian Embassy Site in Canberra

    They think we are mugs – and it’s insulting. It’s all fine for politicians to be swimming, swerving and tossing about in the goo of paranoia that is surveillance, chatting to the ghost called foreign interference; but to expect the rest of the citizenry to be morons is rather poor form. But the formula has […]
