  • Democracy or Plutocracy?

    Democracy or Plutocracy?

    Despite much lofty rhetoric portraying the United States as a democracy (in which the people rule), this nation, in fact, has often resembled a plutocracy (in which the wealthy rule). The confusion owes a great deal to the fact that the United States, at its founding, was somewhat more democratic than its contemporaries.  In the […]

  • What It Means to Weaponize the Government

    What It Means to Weaponize the Government

    President Trump’s declaration of war as a justification for using wartime powers to sidestep constitutional protections is indeed a war, but it is a war waged by the president against dissent, against due process, and against the very foundations of our constitutional republic. This is what it means to weaponize the government. When the government […]

  • This Is Trump’s Genocide Now

    This is Trump’s genocide. Trump is just as culpable for what happens in Gaza as Netanyahu. Just as guilty as Biden was during the last administration.

    Nicaragua Ranks Highest in Gender Equity in the Americas and #6 Globally, According to the World Economic Forum, So Why Are They Under Sanctions?

    Managua, Nicaragua — If you asked 100 people in the U.S. or the U.K. to name the country leading gender equity in the Americas, it’s unlikely anyone would correctly answer Nicaragua.

  • Reflections on the Life of a Cuban-American Exile Hardliner

    “One should never speak ill of the dead,” so the old cliché goes about the recently deceased. Those with less inclination toward sentimentality, however, hold that this rule applies only to those who have lived a life exclusively in private and whose actions have had an effect only among their close-knit circle of family, friends, […]

  • The Deep State’s War on Truth

    The Deep State’s War on Truth

    The Deep State’s war on truth is being waged with doubletalk, delusion and propaganda. Through deliberate manipulation of language—what George Orwell called “doublespeak”—Donald Trump has provided cover for the Deep State’s continued grip on power. While promising to drain the swamp, his administration has instead relied on contradictory policies, misinformation, and propaganda to further entrench […]

  • Is Fascism on the Rise in Germany?

    The German establishment is in crisis. Is has ruled for 80 years by charting a middle course between progressive and conservative policies. Labor and business have cooperated to achieve social and economic stability. But that consensus isn’t functioning anymore. The standard of living is declining, crime is increasing, fear and anger infect social discourse. Nothing […]

  • Philadelphia and the Darkside of Liberty

    Philadelphia and the Darkside of Liberty

    This planned investigation, titled Philadelphia and The Darkside of Liberty, is a deliberate examination into the cultural, economic, and sociopolitical foundations which undergirded America’s early colony and its newly birthed land of liberty’s class-stratified slave society – combined with a closer look at the contradictions which laid within the notions and/or paradoxes of early American equality, […]
