    After Trump’s Pardons, Are Far-Right Militias Gearing-Up to Influence the 2026 Midterm Elections?

    On September 29, 2020, during the first 2020 presidential debate with the Democratic Party’s candidate Joe Biden, moderator Chris Wallace asked then-President Trump if he would condemn white supremacist and militia groups and tell them to “stand down” amid ongoing violent protests. Trump responded by asking which group to name, and when Joe Biden said […]

  • Security Is Indivisible — and History Matters

    Chancellor Merz, You have spoken repeatedly of Germany’s responsibility for European security. That responsibility cannot be discharged through slogans, selective memory, or the steady normalization of war talk. Security guarantees are not one-way instruments. They go in both directions. This is not a Russian argument, nor an American one; it is a foundational principle of […]

  • Charter Schools Continue to Neglect Special Needs Students

    One of the most common and persistent criticisms made about charter schools over the last 30+ years is that they frequently shortchange special needs students. Every year numerous articles appear on this troubling topic and highlight the refusal of the charter school sector to overcome this nagging problem and put it behind them once and […]

  • Ignoring International Obligations: Blocking UN Human Rights Delegates in Australia

    Bureaucracy, in a formulation by the great German sociologist Max Weber, fanatically defends secrecy, and is bound to confect any explanation in doing so. When it comes to swatting away scrutiny by United Nations human rights delegates, local officials can be relied upon to obfuscate, blur and lie about a Member State’s observance of conventions […]

  • The Problem with Machado: Assange Sues the Nobel Foundation

    The Swedish police have promised it will go nowhere, but the attempt by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to draw attention to the inappropriateness of María Corina Machado as a Nobel Peace Prize recipient raises a few salient matters.

  • Western elites fear a ‘globalised intifada’ because they are its targets, not Jews

    Western elites fear a ‘globalised intifada’ because they are its targets, not Jews

    Western establishments’ fear of the phrase “Globalise the intifada” has little to do with any danger supposedly posed to Jewish populations from its use. The threat is posed by the slogan’s central idea, not by some specific target. “Globalise the intifada!” is the modern equivalent of “Power to the people!” – a slogan long used […]

  • Model Campaign Platform

    Model Campaign Platform

    Candidates for the U.S. Congress usually have websites, and often those websites include some minimal platform (what they would do if elected). Sometimes there’s none at all. Sometimes there’s a great deal of substance on numerous topics. But the vast majority of Congressional candidates have no foreign policy whatsoever. They want to be given a […]

  • US Blockades Venezuela in a War Still Searching for an Official Rationale

    In our Donald-in-Wonderland world, the US is at war with Venezuela while still grasping for a public rationale. The horrific human toll is real – over a 100,000 fatalities from illegal sanctions and over a hundred from more recent “kinetic strikes.” Yet the officially stated justification for the US empire’s escalating offensive remains elusive. The […]

  • End Stage Zionist Hasbara And Its Trolls: The Israel as victim canard, it’s all over but the shouting

    A significant number of Zionist trolls plaguing the comment sections of my posts were, as I was, raised on Zionist hasbara i.e., outright lies. As I grew up, and later visited Israel, I was repulsed, as the son of a Holocaust survivor, by the Third Reich-adjacent mindset of Israelis; by their by-rote bigotry; by the […]
