  • Might May Rule the Moment, but Right Prevails Forever

    Might May Rule the Moment, but Right Prevails Forever

    Zainul Abedin (Bangladesh), Untitled, 1944. On 28 November 1924, Sun Yat-sen delivered a speech in Kobe, Japan titled China and Japan: Natural Friends, Unnatural Enemies. Here, he outlined his progressive vision for Pan-Asianism – a world where the ‘rule of right’ would triumph over the ‘rule of might’, where the multitudes of oppressed peoples in […]

  • Symbolic Declarations: Palestinian Recognition at the UN General Assembly

    “True to the historic commitment of my country to the Middle East, to peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, this is why I declare today, France recognises the state of Palestine.” So stated President Emmanuel Macron to more than 140 leaders in attendance at the United Nations General Assembly on September 22. He further declared […]

  • Beyond Time to Say Who the Real Terrorists Are

    Beyond Time to Say Who the Real Terrorists Are

    In George Orwell’s book, 1984, the dominant force was able to determine what was true and what was false – hence 2+2=5. Today, those remaining in Gaza, who have survived the intensive bombing of almost all of Gaza’s infrastructure, sniper shootings, and starvation, are hanging onto life by a thread. Yet, it is the Palestinians […]

  • How to Tell When Authoritarians Become Fascists

    The times they are a-changin. And quickly. And not in a good way. And it’s scary. The façade of democracy is being ripped away by politicians who never liked it but lately feel emboldened to admit it. Most important of all, they have begun to act like unapologetic authoritarians. And brag about it. Suddenly the […]

  • As Jesus Would Do

    America loves war. Not peace. Not justice. War. It baptizes bombs in democracy and calls the ashes liberation. It funds genocide with tax dollars and calls it foreign aid. It builds empires on the backs of brown bodies, then asks the world to applaud its “exceptionalism.” Jay Janson, the people’s historian, has been shouting this […]

  • Charlie Kirk Becomes Alive

    On Wednesday, September 10, a shot was fired at a Utah college event, and Charlie Kirk became alive. Relatively unknown to the public outside of the Right Wing fringe that gains shekels and adoration from the misinformed, miscalculating, and mistaken cadre of misplaced Americans, Charlie Kirk became a household name; more than that, Charlie Kirk […]

  • The “Fat Boy Posse’s” Impending Attack on Iran

    Mesopotamia. Babylon. The Tigris and Euphrates. How many children in how many classrooms, over how many centuries, have been hang-glided through the past, transported on the wings of these words? And now the bombs are falling, incinerating and humiliating that ancient civilisation. On the steel torsos of their missiles, adolescent American soldiers scrawl colourful messages […]

  • Faux Messianism and the Twilight of the West

    For years, independent geopolitical observers, including myself, have warned that the West is veering toward civil war or, at minimum, a prolonged paralysis of governance. This conviction has underpinned my decade-long advocacy for a “Greater Eurasian” autarky, based on the premise that a destabilized West poses the biggest threat to humanity in the near future. […]

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson Is a Leading War Criminal

    It’s a crowded field, I know. Soldiers are proudly publishing videos of their own gruesome crimes. Prime Ministers are touring the world in defiance of arrest warrants. But I want to make sure we’re aware of one prominent member of the list of individuals responsible for the crime of war: U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson […]

  • Silvertongue’s Demise: Lord Mandelson’s Epstein Problem

    It was so startlingly obvious that it seemed to snuff out any comment. Lord Peter Mandelson, otherwise known as the sinister Mr Fixit of New Labour from the Blair years, was an intimate of the late convicted paedophile and socially connected financier Jeffrey Epstein. If it was intended as a humorous appointment – Britain’s Epstein-familiar […]
