    The Fallen

    Since the COVID-19 lockdowns several politicians have stepped down, including UK prime minister Boris Johnson, Aotearoa (New Zealand) prime minister Jacinda Ardern, Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon, and RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki in Canada. The post The Fallen first appeared on Dissident Voice.

  • Christian Nationalism vs. the Separation of Church and State

    We have a long tradition in Am­erica of Separation of Church and State that prohi­bits government’s promotion of religion on the one hand, and interference with its free exercise on the other. In their refusal to establish a state church or to favor one religion over another, the Founding Fathers didn’t think that religion was […]

    Iran-China Strategic Partnership

    The national flags of China and Iran fly in Tiananmen Square during Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi’s visit to Beijing, China, February 14, 2023.

  • Letter to Tim Cook, Other Ultra-rich CEOs and Hedge Fund Titans

    The victims of the devastating 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Turkey and Syria need your help now. The surviving families and children and those rescued alive from the rubble are in serious danger in affected wintertime impoverished regions. Refugees in other places fleeing their war-torn homelands are also suffering. International aid agencies are grossly insufficient for these […]

  • Freedom of Speech Victory in New York State!

    Last summer, New York’s dictator… I mean, governor, Kathy Hochul, signed multiple new laws ostensibly in response to a mass shooting in Buffalo, NY. One of the bills related to “online hate” and required social media companies to report “hateful” content. In December 2022, Rumble (the free speech video-sharing platform) sued New York — citing […]

  • “A Beautiful Outpouring of Rage”

    “A Beautiful Outpouring of Rage”

    The 20th anniversary of the illegal, unprovoked US-UK war of aggression on Iraq comes at an awkward time for a UK press currently suppressing the truth of the illegal, provoked Russian invasion of Ukraine.

    Why Is Israel Struggling to Maintain a Coherent Position in Russia, Ukraine?

    For a whole year, Israel has struggled in its attempts to articulate a clear and decisive position regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. The reason behind the seemingly confused Israeli position is that it stands to lose, regardless of the outcome. But is Israel a neutral party? Israel is home to a population of almost one million […]

  • We Need a Huge Rage against the War Machine

    We Need a Huge Rage against the War Machine

    We urgently need to spark a mass mobilization antiwar movement in North America. There have been good antiwar demonstrations in recent months, but they have been very limited. We need to rapidly expand tenfold. The Rage Against the War Machine initiative, which is organized by a diverse group of anti-war forces, could do just that. […]

  • First National Rally Against War in Ukraine

    First National Rally Against War in Ukraine

    We in the United States are on the brink of war with a major nuclear power, Russia. If that is not a dire emergency, an acute existential threat, what is?
