  • The CIA Does “Soulful Work”

    The CIA Does “Soulful Work”

    Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a spate of books and articles extolling the word “soul” became the rage in the United States.  Soul became the chic word.  It popped up everywhere.  Everything seemed to acquire soul – cars, toasters, underwear, cats’ pajamas, assorted crap, kitsch, etc.  Soul sold styles from boots to […]

  • American Censorship is Bad for Peace

    I cannot sit back and allow the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids. — General Jack D. Ripper in Dr Strangelove Most people would agree that in any modern, wealthy, multicultural, free, non-colonized, democratic society, people have the right to know what is going on in their community. In fact, […]

  • Why US Immigration Law Must be Federal

    It would seem to me that Texas immigration law is not only unconstitutional, but fails to meet the requirements of and violates the Treaty of Guadalupe. The definition, status of Mexican nationals in the American southwest on what is now US soil, immigration, and movement of peoples between the US and Mexico, is actually defined […]

  • Dissecting Politicians

    When I was an undergraduate eons ago in my zoology lab class, I examined varmints under a microscope and then dissected them with my scapple back at my dorm room with a bag of toxic formaldehyde hanging out the window.

  • Who Should We Blame for Israel’s Actions?

    It’s not often I agree with opinions expressed in the pro-business, pro-Conservative Party and self-proclaimed Canada’s national newspaper. But the editorial board written piece, which appeared Friday in the Globe and Mail makes an important point, captured in the following sentence concerning their suggested motion for the House of Commons. “We’ve taken the liberty of […]

  • 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 […]

  • The World Stands Still and its Inhabitants Spin

    From battlefields to legislative arenas, and to Academy Awards, it is difficult to reconcile reality with the manner in which events are presented to the public. The world stands still and its Inhabitants spin. Battlefield The Trump administration’s State Department declared, “The Chinese government is committing genocide and crimes against humanity through its wide-scale repression […]

  • The Russiagate Hoax illustrates the Power the National Security Police State

    The US rulers and their national security state foisted two major campaigns of lies on us to win our support for their planned wars. The first that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. This bogus story was rejected by the progressive and anti-war movements. The second that Trump colluded with Putin to steal the […]

  • The Struggle for Women’s Emancipation Will Always Be Worth It

    The Struggle for Women’s Emancipation Will Always Be Worth It

    8 March was not always International Women’s Day, nor has there always been any such day at all. The idea emerged from the Socialist International (also known as the Second International), where Clara Zetkin of the German Social Democratic Party and others fought from 1889 to hold a day to celebrate working women’s lives and […]
