  • The State of Our Nation No One’s Talking About

    The State of Our Nation No One’s Talking About

    Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries. — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism Day by day, tyranny is rising as […]

  • The Hunger Killing Gaza’s Children Has a Clear Cause that Few are Willing to Name out Loud

    Following the February 29 Israeli slaughter of at least 115 starving Palestinians lined up for food aid, there was little or no outrage by the same Western media which would have howled if the perpetrator were Russia or Syria. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, early morning on Thursday, February 29, Israeli forces opened fire […]

  • What’s Going on in Haiti?

    Haiti is in the headlines again and, as usual, the headlines on Haiti are mostly negative. They are also largely false. Haiti, they tell us, is overrun by “gang violence.” Haiti is “a failed state,” standing on the verge of “anarchy” and teetering on the edge of “collapse.” Haiti, they tell us, can only be […]

  • Matters of Revenue: Meta Abandons Australia’s Media Stable

    It was praised to the heavens as a work of negotiated and practical genius when it was struck.  The then Australian treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, had finally gotten those titans of Big Tech into line on how revenue would be shared with media outlets for using such platforms as supplied by Facebook and Google. Both companies […]

  • The Awesome Reality-Denial by Israel and Its Supporters

    The Awesome Reality-Denial by Israel and Its Supporters

    Holocaust-deniers say that the Holocaust didn’t exist even though, according to historian Hans Müller, Hitler proudly told the Pope’s representative, Archbishop Berning, on 26 April 1933, “I am doing what the Church has done for 1,500 years. I am simply finishing the job.” Furthermore, Hitler, in the privacy of his bunker (as transcribed there by […]

  • New Report on Sexual Violence During October 7 Attack Raises Serious Questions About the UN’s Supposed Anti-Israel Bias

    A United Nations (UN) report recently emerged making damning claims of sexual violence allegedly committed by Hamas. But not all is as it seems. The report has some glaring epistemological problems, all of which seem to serve the Israeli narrative that its genocide in Gaza is somehow justified. Moreover, the report fits within a wider […]

  • Peoples’ China: What Lies Ahead?

    Whither China? was the name of a widely circulated pamphlet authored by the respected Anglo-Indian Marxist author, R. Palme Dutt. Writing in 1966, with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the throes of the “Cultural Revolution,” the pamphlet sought to shed light on the PRC’s tortured road from liberation in 1949 to a vast […]

  • Aid Wars over Gaza: Resuming Funding to UNRWA

    The steady and ruthless campaign by Israel to internationally defund the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), is unravelling.  The lynchpin in the effort was a thin, poison pen dossier making claims that 12 individuals were Hamas operatives who had been involved in the October 7 attacks.  Within […]

  • The Press Freedom Case of the Century

    The Press Freedom Case of the Century

    In March 2023, when my book on the case against Julian Assange was published, the detained WikiLeaks founder was waiting to find out if an appeals court in London would allow him to appeal extradition to the United States. Now, Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange [review] has been available on bookshelves for […]

  • Net Zero, the Digital Panopticon and the Future of Food

    The food transition, the energy transition, net-zero ideology, programmable central bank digital currencies, the censorship of free speech and clampdowns on protest. What’s it all about? To understand these processes, we need to first locate what is essentially a social and economic reset within the context of a collapsing financial system. Writer Ted Reece notes […]
