    Recapturing White Rhetoric for Socialist Agitating

    Orientation Leninist and anarchist shortcomings in relation to rhetoric A little over three years ago I wrote an article about how bad Mordor Leninists and anarchists are about knowing about, let alone using rhetorical rhetoric. The article is titled Socialist Rhetorical and Dialectical Communication: Overcoming Brainwashing, Propaganda and Entertainment These areas of bumbling included: Initiation […]

    “Aligned With Israel’s Propaganda Strategy”: BBC Correspondent Challenges the BBC Director General

    Last November, we reported on an incisive and courageous email that had been sent on 24 October 2023 to Tim Davie, the BBC’s Director General, by Rami Ruhayem, a Beirut-based BBC correspondent. Basing his arguments on considerable evidence and rational analysis, Ruhayem was highly critical of the BBC’s pro-Israel coverage of Gaza since the Hamas […]

  • Conventional Wisdom: The ICJ Ruling on Israeli Settlements

    The International Court of Justice has again deliberated over the thorn-bloodied subject of Israeli-Palestinian relations.  Its latest advisory opinion, sought by the UN General Assembly early last year, was unremarkably conventional though nonetheless affirming: a finding that Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with “the regime associated with them, have been […]

  • Biden Drops Out, Endorses Harris

    Kamala’s negatives are even worse than Biden’s. That said, now that he has endorsed her – the party will have to accept her as their nominee. It is going to be a landslide for Trump. He will easily hit and surpass the 270 electoral votes needed to become the next President of the United States […]

  • Donald Trump’s Reckless Infatuation with Nuclear Weapons

    Korean War Anniversary: What We’ve Chosen to Forget about the “Forgotten War”

Massacres of civilians by both the US Army and the allied army we’re propping up. Three million killed, and a larger proportion of civilian deaths than World War II. Lies upon lies about the background […]

  • NATO: 75 and Still Threatening

    Bring out the bon bons, the bubbles, and the praise filled memoranda for that old alliance.  At the three-quarter century mark of its existence, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is showing itself to be a greater nuisance than ever, gossiping, meddling, and dreaming of greater acts of mischief under the umbrella of manufactured insecurity.  It […]

  • 64 U.S. Coups During 1947-1989

    This is the list of U.S. coups during the Cold War that’s presented in the highly regarded 2018 academic book Covert Regime Change, by Lindsey O’Rourke. (Only the start-date for each coup is shown here, but some of these coups went on for years; 39% succeeded at Government-overthrow, 61% did not. This list is taken […]

  • Remembering a Genocide in the Midst of Another

    This month on 11th July 2024, the UN commemorated the Srebrenica Genocide of 1995 with official statements and speeches by dignitaries, memorial services, moments of silence and designating a day for remembering what has been called the greatest atrocity in modern Europe. What is ironic, however, is the fact that the world comes together to […]
