  • Who’s Really Running Venezuela?

    As the Senate voted to advance a War Powers Resolution on Venezuela on January 8th, Republican Senator Susan Collins declared that she did not agree with “a sustained engagement “running” Venezuela.” The world was mystified when President Trump first said that the United States would “run” Venezuela. He has since made it clear that he wants to control […]

  • The Politics of Premature Adjudication: The Bondi Royal Commission

    Royal commissions are often held to confirm the obvious and squeak for modest change. They offer no binding remedies, have no compellable powers against the government of the day, and can, despite claiming to be independent, be susceptible to interest groups. They are also expensive, laborious, often lengthy, and serve as a pacifying agent, absorbing pressure and […]

  • The World, Greenland, and the Trump’s US of Autarchy

    ***** No Western media has bothered to speak with me, a Danish peace researcher, about the Trump Regime’s Greenland aggression. I also did not expect it, and it speaks volumes about their problems, including self-censorship. Frankly, it is more effective for opinion formation and intercultural dialogue to reach 100-200 million Chinese who watch morning television […]

    More Rapping with Biocentric’s Max Wilbert on the State of the World as we Gallop into Year of the Fire Horse

    He’s been under the weather: Hi everyone, I’ve been sick for four days now, and haven’t had a chance to pull a piece together. So, no post today. In lieu of that, here’s a photo of a sandstone rock formation in a coastal wilderness. A place like this, with crawdads crawling in every pool, fish […]

  • The Toxic Innocence Of Empire: The US And Israel, Forever Blameless, Always Pure In Motive

    There is an exact and troubling historical correlation between the Trump administration’s imperialist aggression against Venezuela and Israel’s perpetual crimes against humanity. Both can be traced to a Western settler-colonialist worldview possessed by a sense of insatiable entitlement, and the psychological carnage concomitant to a citizenry given to the brutality inherent to the pursuit of […]

  • Internal Dissent, High-Profile Resignations, and Donor Anxiety Have Shaken the Heritage Foundation

    Internal Dissent, High-Profile Resignations, and Donor Anxiety Have Shaken the Heritage Foundation

    Resignations, Rebellion, and a Right-Wing Rift: Heritage Implodes Over Carlson–Fuentes Affair Folks—let me have your attention for a moment. Because I’ve been hearing some rumbling, some grumbling, a downright thundering from deep inside one of Washington’s most conservative policy halls. Yes sir, trouble. Trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with C, that stands […]

  • Fukayama’s Misstep

    Political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s prediction that we, meaning those who glorify the western world, were at “The End of History and the Last Man,” and that “the rise of Western liberal democracy marked the endpoint of mankind’s ideological evolution,” meaning that Western style “democracy is the final form of government for all nations,” motivated the […]

  • The US Propaganda Campaign to Smear Venezuela’s New President Delcy Rodriguez

    The US “regime change” operation against Venezuela has been defeated. The Bolivarian Revolution remains firmly in power. Now, Washington’s campaign against the Chavistas attempts to paint Interim President Delcy Rodriguez as compromising on the heritage of Presidents Nicolas Maduro and Hugo Chavez. The Wall Street Journal ran an article Venezuelan Regime’s New Strategy: Appease Trump […]

  • Kidnapping Blues: The Maduro Abduction Precedent

    Once done, it remains, by nature and fact, irreversible. The precedent of indicting and abducting a serving head of state and his spouse, dropping them into the jurisdiction of another country to face criminal charges of inventive pedigree (narcoterrorism foremost among them), is the stuff of nightmares in international statecraft. With the now former Venezuelan […]

  • Canada Cites Democracy to Support Trump’s Coup in Venezuela

    As part of justifying Donald Trump’s crass imperial aggression in Venezuela, Canadian officials have taken up the mantra of “democracy”. In one post on the weekend Mark Carney opined about “the democratic will of the Venezuelan people” while in a follow-up statement the prime minister boasted that “Canada has not recognised the illegitimate regime of […]
