  • Fruitless Gestures: Victoria Bans the Nazi Salute

    It took place with hardly any debate, though it interested some parliamentary members at the committee stage.  The Australian state of Victoria now faces laws that will lock a person up for 12 months or punish individuals with fines of A$23,000 or above if they dare enact a gesture.  That gesture is giving, with intent, […]

  • Ukraine: Has PM Trudeau Succumbed to Nazi Ideology?

    This report consists of three parts: 1. Canada’s House of Commons gives standing ovation to a man introduced as a Ukrainian “war hero”, later to discover that he served in the Nazi 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS. (Hindustan Times) 2. Trudeau Urged to Resign (Sky News) 3. Is Trudeau Supportive of Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi Party […]

  • Ukraine as Another Neo-liberal Privatization Exercise

    When considering the recent performances at the General Assembly of the United Nations this year, the echoes of “peace” resound through the plenary hall. Why should anyone want peace in the Ukraine more than any other place the Empire is waging war? My suspicion is that many of these calls are really for Russia to […]

  • Stupidity and Depravity Can Be Mutually Exclusive

    Stupidity and Depravity Can Be Mutually Exclusive

    Video grab of Jaroslav Hunka in Canada’s Parliament A question: Is it the case that an individual member of an organization who rejects participation in the wider group’s malefaction is to be held equally culpable in the wider group’s evildoing just by virtue of affiliation? If so, this panders to the quilt by association fallacy. […]

  • Conservatives and Communists of the World, Unite!

    Conservatives and Communists of the World, Unite!

    Cosmopolitan — ‘world politics’, ‘world citizen’ — people of many races under a world empire. The word became a meme in the 1890s as British empire blossomed, supposedly the world now united around principles of the free market. Sounds cool. The market is the proven way to run economies. It is neutral, no favorites, harsh […]

  • Election Fever: A Fever Dream?

    Election Fever: A Fever Dream?

    With nearly sixteen months to go, we are well into the silly season. The campaigning, fund raising, maneuvering, plotting, and mud-slinging have already reached a fever-pitch. We are told that the 2024 Presidential election — like every Presidential election in my lifetime — holds the fate of the country in its grip. But it is […]

  • The Second Coming of Literal Hitler

    The Second Coming of Literal Hitler

    So, the quadrennial simulation of democracy in the USA is getting underway, and personally, I couldn’t be happier. It’s been a challenging few years for unincorporated political satirists like myself. The roll-out of the new global-capitalist totalitarianism hasn’t been particularly funny. In fact, it has been extremely not funny. Squeezing a little humor out of […]

  • If You Ever Start Trusting U.S. Businessmen, Remember Henry Ford

    (The name Henry Ford came up in a comment thread recently so I thought it’d be helpful to offer some lost context.) Henry Ford, the autocratic magnate who despised unions, tyrannized workers, and fired any employee caught driving a competitor’s model, was also an outspoken anti-Semite. In 1918, he bought and ran a newspaper, The […]

    In 2014, NATO Authorized Ukraine to “Exterminate” Opponents of the Newly U.S.-installed Ukrainian Government

    As will be detailed here: NATO held a press conference on 3 June 2014 by the Acting Minister of Defence of Ukraine, Mykhailo Koval, who had been appointed on 25 March 2014 by Ukraine’s Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who had been selected on 27 January 2014 by Victoria Nuland, who had been appointed by Barack […]

  • Although Scarred by Violence, We Must Not Be Scared into Silence

    The world has been haunted by human violence since time immemorial. There are untold millions (billions?) of people all over the world who have been scarred by it in all its forms.  There are two basic responses: one is to try to return that violence with violence and defeat one’s enemy; the other is, in […]
