The US Justice Department, Fake Cartels, and Maduro
The Trump administration is increasingly resembling a government previously abominated by the current US president as entangling, bumbling, and prone to fantasies. President George W. Bush was well versed in baseless existential threats stemming from Mesopotamia, supposedly directed by the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. There was a critical problem in this assessment: in his dry […]

The Anger that Masks the Sadness
We have always lived in a society that hinders mental health care instead of enabling it. Now, this writer is surely not a psychiatrist, but I did spend a night in a Holiday Inn Express. My experiences as a patient of Freudian psychoanalysis 40 years ago taught me, among many things, that ‘The child is […]

Irreversible Robust Tempo of Charter School Failures and Closures
Charter schools are deregulated private entities that embrace “free market” ideology. They rest firmly on consumerism, competition, and the medieval view that every individual should fend for themselves. Winning and losing are considered normal, healthy, and desirable in this obsolete outlook where “shopping for a school and hoping for the best” replaces the right to […]

The (Over)Reach of Gangster Imperium, from Venezuela to Gaza
The Trump administration’s military aggression against the people of Venezuela proves the dictum: US/Western imperialism is gangsterism on an international level. The World has witnessed an attempted smash and grab/shakedown operation, and extortion racket perpetrated by a gangster state. Of course, Trump is going to strut and preen and sputter braggadocio about his exercise in […]
