  • Listening to a Mother’s Horror with US Marshals: Perpetual Vicarious Trauma

    Listening to a Mother’s Horror with US Marshals: Perpetual Vicarious Trauma

    The U.S. Marshals always get their kill shot — and a young man, young woman, and two five-year-old children swarmed by SOG, special operations group/gang, in Michigan, and the man bleeds out, the kids are in the house traumatized, and the mother is swarmed in the town getting groceries. I expected to get deep into […]

  • Unrealisable Justice: Julian Assange in Strasbourg

    Unrealisable Justice: Julian Assange in Strasbourg

    It was good to hear that voice again. A voice of provoking interest that pitter patters, feline across a parquet, followed by the usual devastating conclusion. Julian Assange’s last public address was made in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. There, he was a guest vulnerable to the capricious wishes of changing governments. At Belmarsh Prison […]

  • The Right to Not Be Lied To: Making the Case for Truth in Politics

    The Right to Not Be Lied To: Making the Case for Truth in Politics

    Q: “How can you tell if a politician is lying?” A: “When his lips are moving.” The First Amendment assures us of a right to free speech. It does not, unfortunately, explicitly assure us of a right to not be lied to by our government and its various officials. Any hope of holding government officials […]

  • 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.  […]

  • Faulty Assurances: The Judicial Torture of Assange Continues

    Only this month, the near comatose US President, Joe Biden, made a casual, castaway remark that his administration was “considering” the request by Australia that the case against Julian Assange be concluded.  The WikiLeaks founder has already spent five gruelling years in London’s Belmarsh prison, where he continues a remarkable, if draining campaign against the […]

  • Julian Assange and the Plea Nibble

    Be wary of what Washington offers in negotiations at the best of times.  The empire gives and takes when it can; the hegemon proffers and in equal measure withdraws offers it deems fit.  This is all well known to the legal team of WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange, who, the Wall Street Journal “exclusively” reveals, is […]

  • Assange Be Wary: The Dangers of a US Plea Deal

    At every stage of its proceedings against Julian Assange, the US Imperium has shown little by way of tempering its vengeful impulses.  The WikiLeaks publisher, in uncovering the sordid, operational details of a global military power, would always have to pay.  Given the 18 charges he faces, 17 fashioned from that most repressive of instruments, […]

  • Inglorious Politics: The Hunter Biden Problem

    In May last year, the Washington Post ran a fairly typical piece about what the paper perceives as an unjustified conservative mania regarding President Joe Biden’s son. While those in the US worried “about such things as inflation and the war in Ukraine, the top concerns of congressional Republicans can be ranked roughly as follows: […]

  • Doing Washington’s Bidding: Australia’s Treatment of Daniel Duggan

    The increasingly shabby treatment of former US marine Daniel Edmund Duggan by Australian authorities in the service of their US masters has again shown that the Australian passport is not quite worth the material it’s printed on. In January this year, Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court heard that Australian Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus accepted a request […]

    We the People: Screwed, Blued and Tattooed!

    I just got back from the Lincoln County courthouse. Supporting a victim of BWS, battered wife syndrome, also called domestic abuse, spousal abuse. The punk was arrested Nov. 12, 2022, and he is still in county jail, on $750K bail. “Waldport man in jail on second-degree attempted murder, 9 other charges” Nov. 14, 2022 All […]
