  • US State Department Travel Warning on Venezuela: What Washington Fears Most

    Following his earlier threat that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s days are numbered, US President Donald Trump announced on social media he was closing Venezuelan airspace. He then immodestly proclaimed the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine, commending his nineteenth century predecessor for presciently envisioning “a superpower unlike anything the world had ever known.” On December […]

  • The UN Has Voted to Put the Occupation of Iraq in Charge of Gaza

    The UN Has Voted to Put the Occupation of Iraq in Charge of Gaza

    Ah, those were the days. The UN had been blocked by a worldwide popular movement from approving of a war on Iraq. British Prime Minister Tony Blair had dragged the UK along after secretly demanding that George W. Bush first attack Afghanistan, because Blair believed he would be better able to sell a war on […]

  • Sheer Wickedness: Genocide in Gaza is Enabled by “Global Complicity,” Says UN

    A new report, ‘Situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967’ by Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese and her team in accordance with Human Rights Council resolution 5/1, concludes that “the ongoing genocide in Gaza is a collective crime, sustained by the complicity of influential Third States” and is “facilitated through Third States’ […]

  • The Truth about Nuclear Weapons

    The Truth about Nuclear Weapons

    I am grateful for the invitation from The China Academy and its Thinkers’ Forum in Shanghai to shed light on the dark logic behind nuclear weapons—their possession, their use, their philosophy. (I know of no Western media that would extend such an invitation to me). This creed of “nuclearism” is not a strategy; it’s a […]

  • “Regime Change” in Venezuela Is a Euphemism for U.S.-Inflicted Carnage and Chaos

    “Regime Change” in Venezuela Is a Euphemism for U.S.-Inflicted Carnage and Chaos

    For decades, Washington has sold the world a deadly lie: that “regime change” brings freedom, that U.S. bombs and blockades can somehow deliver democracy. But every country that has lived through this euphemism knows the truth—it instead brings death, dismemberment, and despair. Now that the same playbook is being dusted off for Venezuela, the parallels […]

  • The Pure Evil of America’s QME Doctrine

    The Pure Evil of America’s QME Doctrine

    Shameful US legislation commits to ensuring Israel always has superiority in weapons, technology, training, command and control, and intelligence over its neighbours. It’s time everyone knew why the US is joined at the hip with a loathsome genocidal ethnocracy like Israel whose stated aim is domination of the Holy Land and beyond. In 2008, Congress […]

  • Dismantle the House of Dynamite

    Dismantle the House of Dynamite

    Kathryn Bigelow once worked with the CIA to make a movie widely criticized for dishonestly promoting torture and glorifying killing (Zero Dark Thirty). (She has also explicitly advocated for war-making.) Now she has made a movie highlighting the danger of nuclear apocalypse (A House of Dynamite). I know which film I would prefer for you to see. It’s on Netflix. […]

  • Trump Readies for Regime Change in Venezuela

    Since the start of September, the Trump administration has busied itself with striking boats in international waters stemming from Venezuelan and possibly Colombian waters. Their mortal offence: allegedly carrying narcotics cargo destined for consumers in the United States. A few days following the first strike on September 2, President Donald Trump stated in a War […]

  • Recruiting New Spies via Internet

    It’s no secret that almost every state conducts intelligence both at home and abroad. However, if several decades ago this activity was in the sidelines, the emergence and development of the Internet and information technologies lifted the veil on espionage and empowered intelligence with new, although sometimes controversial, capabilities. Thus, on September 19, 2025, the […]
