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 […]

Transparency of the Epstein files is Mere Bragging Unless There is Accountability
Releasing the Epstein Files, without holding the exposed individuals and institutions accountable, will embolden rapists and pedophiles. Transparency alone is not justice. If we don’t hold these monsters accountable, we will have allowed them to brag to all the world that they got away with rape, pedophilia, and human trafficking. Transparency without accountability tells victims, […]

“Free Market” Charter Schools Wreak Havoc in Michigan

While the essence of the “free market” chaos, anarchy, and violence underpinning the charter school sector is the same across the U.S., the form it takes varies from state to state for different reasons. In Michigan, for example, about 80% of charter schools are openly for-profit charter schools, which is a disproportionately high number of […]

When Centering and Silencing Women No Longer Work

A celebration born of the early twentieth-century women’s labor movement to bolster gender equality and reproductive rights while stopping violence and abuse against women feels hollow and in need of a massive resurgence, given current US politics. With the dissolution of women’s reproductive autonomy, […]

Trying to Dig Deeper
A huge problem, up there at the top of the list, is that the history of efforts over the last many centuries to create truly just and democratic societies, run by organized people, not oligarchs, has at best yielded mixed results since the Russian Revolution of 1917. These words were part of the first column […]

NH: Most Criminal Charter School Proposal Ever?

The chasm between consciousness and anti-consciousness continues to grow in the context of failing economies and failed states at home and abroad. In this fractured and decaying context where the gap between authoritarianism and democracy grows wider with greater speed, every day brings new criminal thinking and agendas masquerading as much-needed innovative ideas and plans.

Australia’s Social Media Ban
With much in the way of pomp and false premises, the social media ban in Australia for those under 16-years-old was celebrated as a healthy incentive to encourage children to get off the screens and into the playgrounds. A stampede of reinvigorated youth would rush to libraries to borrow books. Sport would be taken up […]

Suing for Social Media Addiction
It’s not a rare thing to see the founder of Facebook ducking and weaving before the irate comments of Congress as he explains, for yet another time, why his network does not harm, has no intention to harm and, if harm arose, it was unforeseen and unintended. This dance of mendacity has been going on […]
