  • Ending the Trump-Netanyahu War in the Middle East

    The Israel-US war on Iran is engulfing the entire Middle East and could escalate to global war. The economic consequences are already severe and could become catastrophic. The Strait of Hormuz carries approximately one-fifth of all oil traded globally, and 30 percent of the world’s LNG. A sustained closure of the Strait would trigger an energy shock without […]

  • Massachusetts: Highest Court Says Charter School Must Comply With State Public-Records Law

    Massachusetts: Highest Court Says Charter School Must Comply With State Public-Records Law

    Charter schools are privatized education arrangements that continually insist on being called “public” while routinely avoiding many public laws, standards, and requirements. Charter school operators have always wanted to be both public and private for self-serving reasons—public so that they can seize public funds and private so that they can remain unaccountable. Dr. Michael Mindzak […]

  • Cuba’s Slow Strangulation and the Empire That Can’t Stop Squeezing

    Cuba’s Slow Strangulation and the Empire That Can’t Stop Squeezing

    Some catastrophes arrive like explosions; others arrive like a hand on the throat that tightens, loosens just enough to keep the victim conscious, then tightens again. What is happening to Cuba now is the second kind. It is less a “crisis” than the logical endpoint of a relationship Ada Ferrer, in Cuba: An American History, […]

  • Former U.S. Military Chief of Staff Blasts U.S. War Crimes in Middle East

    Retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson said on the independent news channel Democracy Now! that the current U.S. administration, in a matter of days, has committed war crimes in Iran on a scale he has not seen in his lifetime. He told viewers that, not for the first time, the U.S. had initiated an illegal war, violated […]

  • The US and Israel Have No Plan: Because Collapse Is the Plan

    I don’t think it’s controversial any longer to proclaim that the ruling class of the US and Israel (USrael) are idiot psychopaths (idiopaths). Some around the globe have noticed the two administrations sinking all of us into a possible global economic meltdown / possible nuclear war / probable really shitty 2026 don’t seem to have […]

  • Europe’s Criminalization of Palestine Solidarity

    When Israeli forces bombed Iran in June 2025, German Chancellor Merz praised them for doing “the dirty work for all of us.” His statement exposes the roots of Europe’s military, economic, and diplomatic support for Israeli genocide and regional aggression. To sustain their “business as usual” policy toward Israel, European governments are criminalizing Palestine solidarity. […]

  • In Memoriam Berta Cáceres

    Ten years ago, Berta Cáceres, a campaigner against dams and mining projects that were displacing rural communities in Honduras, said that death threats had forced her to lead a ‘fugitive existence’. Most of the threats came from Desarrollos Energeticos SA (DESA), a company planning a hydroelectric project on the Gualcarque River, sacred to Cáceres’s Indigenous […]

  • To Stop US Militarism and Criminal Wars, We Need Universal Conscription

    Driving home from my coffee at the local food co-op in a suburb just north of Philadelphia, I passed by the gas station at the local 7-ll store. Now owned by a Japanese company, 7-11 is one of the largest gas chains in the US. I found myself thinking how back in the early years […]

  • The Inner Cabinet and the Outer Media

    Anyone who is not sick at heart and raging over the slaughter of over 165 young Iranian girls at a school by the American-Israeli monsters waging war on Iran is depraved and evil. It sickens me to state something so obvious, but I am afraid it is true that many are not distraught by the news. […]

  • The Complicity of the Experts: When Knowledge Fails in an Age of War

    You may know that in Macedonia the academic disciplines of international relations, geopolitics, and international security were introduced long after the breakup of Yugoslavia. Everything started from scratch, and I would say that these fields are still in their infancy. With rare exceptions. In global terms, we are Lilliputians. Our academic community is small, our […]
