Venal Reactions: US Allies Validate Maduro’s Abduction
On the surface, abducting a Head of State is a piratical act eschewed by States. A Head of State enjoys absolute immunity from foreign criminal jurisdiction, known as ratione personae, at least till the term of office concludes. The International Court of Justice was clear enough about this principle in the 2002 Arrest Warrant Case, […]

They Kidnapped Maduro Because The World Is Ruled By Unaccountable Tyrants
Well, Trump finally did it. US special forces attacked Venezuela and abducted President Maduro from Caracas, reportedly killing at least 40 people in the process. And now that it’s all over, the White House is getting a lot more honest about the real motives behind its actions. After all those months of babbling about fentanyl and “narcoterrorism” and freedom […]

The Don-roe Doctrine in Action: Trump’s Gangster Intervention in Venezuela
It has been an accusation long levelled at certain US politicians that their brains might have been softened by a lengthy diet of television, Westerns, and the heroic triumphalism of the prattling cowboy. There was never going to be a break with this tradition regarding President Donald Trump, except for the fact that he claimed to […]

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Kidnap Presidents
What was defined at Nuremberg as the supreme international crime (one country attacking another one) is depicted by Trump and even the supposedly anti-Trump corporate media as some sort of law enforcement. Bombing is liberating. Kidnapping is capturing. Murdering people on boats is “impeding the flow of drugs.” Imagine if, say, Saudi Arabia or Norway […]

Israel And Its Supporters Deliberately Foment Hate And Division In Our Society
I’ve noticed a lot of angry comments underneath my posts these past few days, which bizarrely mention the words “Islam” and “Muslims” completely out of the blue. “Why don’t you turn your attention sometimes to the genocidal intent of the radical Muslims, or does that suit your racist narrative?” reads one tweet. “What can you say about […]

Secessionist Pantomime: Israel Recognises Somaliland
For a country so upset about recognition being afforded to people under their thumb and control, the Israelis have decided to get into the state recognition business with festive aplomb. Africa’s Somaliland presented itself as a suitable candidate, an entity that remains part of Somalia but has asserted its own autonomy since 1991. Israel’s recognition […]

The Impending US Colonial Administration over Gaza, Palestine
Behind the diplomatic language of ‘reconstruction’ and ‘stabilisation’, a new colonial framework for Gaza is being assembled. The following is why the latest Security Council resolution matters and what it sets in motion. On 17 November, the UN Security Council approved a draft resolution authored by the United States endorsing President Donald Trump’s plan for […]

“Self-Hating Jew, Kapo, What About Hamas?”
Zionists have attempted to teach me the following: 1) Because I am Jewish, all Palestinians clamor and scheme to have me erased from the Earth. 2) There is no such entity as the Palestinian people. Damn convenient: The people you are perpetrating a genocide upon do not exist. Damn odd: The people you are erasing […]

Reflections on a Neoliberal Ne’er-do-well’s Road to Redemption
The unexamined life is not worth living. — Socrates ‘In the bad old days when I was embroiled in the business of churning out MBAs from capitalist ‘sausage’ factories masquerading as places of ‘higher education’ (business schools that were “the engine rooms of neoliberal indoctrination and elite formation” – Blunt, 2023), among many other harmful […]

The U.S. Airstrike in Nigeria Confirms why the U.S African Command (AFRICOM) Must be Shut Down
If it was not clear before the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) Christmas Day bombing of its Sokoto state, that Nigeria is not a sovereign African nation but is instead a neo-colonial state with a Western puppet government, it should be crystal clear now. The longstanding fundamental crisis of the sovereignty of African nations lies in […]
