  • New BBC Documentary “The Road to 7th October” is an Utter Travesty

    New BBC Documentary “The Road to 7th October” is an Utter Travesty

    There has been a prolonged furore over the BBC’s craven decision to ban a documentary on life in Gaza under Israel’s bombs after it incensed Israel and its lobbyists by, uniquely, humanising the enclave’s children. The English-speaking child narrator, 13-year-old Abdullah, who became the all-too-visible pretext for pulling the film Gaza: How to Survive a […]

  • Reflections on the Life of a Cuban-American Exile Hardliner

    “One should never speak ill of the dead,” so the old cliché goes about the recently deceased. Those with less inclination toward sentimentality, however, hold that this rule applies only to those who have lived a life exclusively in private and whose actions have had an effect only among their close-knit circle of family, friends, […]

  • Civil Workers, Uncivil Problem: The 1934 Civil Works Administration Strike in Utica, New York

    The history of the labor movement in the Mohawk Valley is an extremely rich yet untapped field. This is not to say that there’s no labor historiography of the region, but it seems lacking compared to other areas of New York. Utica itself has experienced or been adjacently involved with a number of strikes since […]

  • B’Tselem in the Crosshairs

    B’Tselem in the Crosshairs

    In early 2023, the most far-right cabinet in Israel’s history launched its war for “judicial reforms” to replace democracy with autocracy. In fall 2023, it began an obliteration war against Gaza. Now it is readying to decimate the last human rights defenders in Israel. In view of the Israeli Prime Minister, amid his own corruption […]

  • France and the Delusions of Nuclear Deterrence

    France and the Delusions of Nuclear Deterrence

    Emmanuel Macron[/caption]The singular antics of US President Donald Trump, notably towards supposed allies, has stirred the pot regarding national security in various capitals. From Canberra to Brussels, there is concern that such assumed, if unverifiable notions as extended nuclear deterrence from Washington are valid anymore. America First interests certainly bring that into question, as well […]

  • “Biased” UN Report on Nicaragua Ignores Victims of US-backed Opposition Violence

    “Biased” UN Report on Nicaragua Ignores Victims of US-backed Opposition Violence

    One of scores of violent barricades, or tranques, created around Nicaragua during the 2018 coup attempt MASAYA, NICARAGUA – Reynaldo Urbina rides his motorbike around the streets of Masaya, Nicaragua, with agility, despite having only one arm. Nearly seven years ago, at the height of a US- supported coup attempt against Nicaragua’s left-wing Sandinista government, […]

  • The Deep State’s War on Truth

    The Deep State’s War on Truth

    The Deep State’s war on truth is being waged with doubletalk, delusion and propaganda. Through deliberate manipulation of language—what George Orwell called “doublespeak”—Donald Trump has provided cover for the Deep State’s continued grip on power. While promising to drain the swamp, his administration has instead relied on contradictory policies, misinformation, and propaganda to further entrench […]

  • Why America, the EU, and Ukraine, Should Lose to Russia in Ukraine’s War

    The war in Ukraine is, but in reverse, the same situation that America’s President JFK had faced with regard to the Soviet Union in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, when the U.S. would have invaded Cuba if Khrushchev wouldn’t agree to a mutually acceptable settlement — which he did, and so WW3 was averted on […]

  • The Money Government

    The Money Government

    Pink Floyd had it right on with their 1973 song “Money”: Money, get away Get a good job with more pay and you’re okay Money, it’s a gas Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash New car, caviar, four-star daydream Think I’ll buy me a football team Money, get back I’m alright, […]

  • Sovereignty

    Sovereignty

    With Trump’s recent tongue-lashing of Zelensky at their meeting in Washington DC, social media is now flooded with anguished cries about Ukraine’s sovereignty and how the U.S. must stand up to Russia’s empire-building invasion. The “consensus” claims Russia’s violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty cannot be tolerated and must be punished. Respect for sovereignty? Are these well-intentioned […]
