  • Should Billionaires Have It All?

    California politics is currently being shaken up thanks to a drive, led by the Service Employees International Union, to enact a one-time wealth tax on the state’s billionaires to offset federal cuts to healthcare and support public education and food assistance programs. Campaigning for the measure, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders told an enthusiastic crowd that […]

  • Michael Parenti, 1933-2026

    With the death of Michael Parenti, we have lost one of the greatest dissident voices in American history. Parenti earned a Ph.D. in political science from Yale University in 1962, and taught at a number of colleges and universities, never attaining a tenured position because he was “red-baited out of my college-teaching profession and left […]

  • The War Profiteers Feast While the Poor Starve

    The world is being reshaped—and disfigured—by those who profit from war. We often describe conflict as a diplomatic failure or a geopolitical tragedy, but beneath these narratives lies a harsher truth: war has become one of the most profitable industries on earth. A small network of corporations, financiers, and political actors grows richer with every […]

  • A Bold Campaign to Confront Global Crises

    Although the world is experiencing severe global crises, there are new efforts underway to create a more effective means of coping with them. The crises are clear enough.

  • Zohran Mamdani Will Follow the Path of AOC, Bernie, and Brandon Johnson

    The disenfranchised, cast aside people of the US find hope when an AOC, Brandon Johnson, Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders campaigns and wins public office.

  • Things Are Shitty Because We Are Ruled By People Who Want Things To Be Shitty

    Things Are Shitty Because We Are Ruled By People Who Want Things To Be Shitty

  • Accomplishing Change

    Accomplishing change in the institutions that control and manipulate society for their personal benefit has been difficult. Inability to succeed in the endeavor is due to the inability to create the organizations that can effectively oppose the powers that exercise control. This control is maintained by investment. Protecting the investment by preventing alternative teaching and […]

  • Reversing the Truth: The Gaza “Ceasefire” and British Complicity in Genocide

    We live in a time when truth is reversed in plain sight. Black is declared white, and white is declared purple with pink polka dots. Immunity appears to be assumed on the basis that a sufficient proportion of the screen-addled population are too gullible or distracted to notice. Thus, continuing the Nobel Committee’s ignoble tradition […]

  • Techno-Capitalist-Feudalism Is Malthusian to the Core!

    Introduction All rigged markets, all rigged financial-mechanisms, and, as well as, all the rigged authoritarian-structures of techno-capitalist-feudalism, indeed, did achieve their maturity in the early 21st century, through rampant surveillance, social conditioning, and data-collection.

    The World’s Richest People are Chinese, not Americans

    Four years after defeating the US in battle, in 1955, Mao told colleagues, “If we can’t overtake America in 100 years we don’t deserve to exist. We should be wiped off the face of the earth”. Less than seventy years later, China overtook America. Today, Chinese are much richer than their American and European counterparts, […]
