  • Artificial Intelligence, Crime and Prisons: Mahmood Revisits the Panopticon

    When does the rot start in a politician?  For some, it commences the moment election to office is confirmed.  Others need to become cabinet ministers before being wholly blighted.  UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood may provide a classic case study.  Given that security matters fall within her purview, it was probably too much to expect […]

  • A Protest That Kinda Wasn’t

    A Protest That Kinda Wasn’t

    If the first two weeks of January are any indication, the United States is in for a helluva lot more protests and rallies. In fact, unless the current regime in the White House and their cronies turn over a small forest of new leaves real soon, the price of poster board futures is going to […]

  • FIFA Please, Revoke the Peace Prize, Reclaim the Game

    (Image by The White House) In December, U.S. President Donald Trump was awarded FIFA’s newly created “FIFA Peace Prize – Football Unites the World” by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The decision immediately sparked disbelief and criticism worldwide, raising a fundamental question: What does FIFA mean by peace? If football is truly meant to unite the world, then this prize—and the […]

  • Can Charter Schools Be Meaningfully Reformed?

    Charter schools are the main form of school privatization in the United States. As such, they have never been part of a true organic grass-roots movement, that is, they have always been part of a top-down neoliberal agenda right from the start.1 This is why, for example, about 95% of charter schools have not been […]

  • Our Computers and Televisions Spray Toxic Sludg

    Our Computers and Televisions Spray Toxic Sludg

    A television writer named Annie Jacobsen recently tweeted that she’d been “prophetic” when she wrote a real CIA scheme of attacking Venezuela into a fictional program, after which the U.S. government actually attacked Venezuela. Another word would be “propagandistic” — not in the sense of the direct, immediate lie, but in the sense of the […]

  • Anti-Democracy

    Anti-Democracy

    Killing Democracy should at bare minimum be a university textbook, distributed to every institution of higher learning in America. Ideally, it would be required reading for every literate citizen of the U.S.  Qualitatively, it is on the same level as Howard Zinn’s monumental work, A People’s History of the United States. Like that landmark work, […]

  • US Strikes on Venezuela Sound an Alarm for Global Governance

    US Strikes on Venezuela Sound an Alarm for Global Governance

    Fire at Fuerte Tiuna, Venezuela’s largest military complex, is seen from a distance after a series of explosions in Caracas on January 3, 2026. The US military was behind a series of strikes against the Venezuelan capital Caracas on Saturday, which reportedly led to the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, US […]

  • Jacques Baud and the EU/NATO Censorship Architecture

    If Baud, then we are all potential targets now! Jacques Baud’s case is mind-boggling. A Swiss citizen, a former NATO-, OSCE- and UN-related colleague and author who relies mainly on Western sources, has been sanctioned by the European Union. There is no evidence that he worked with or for Russia. His “crime” is interpretation: offering […]

  • To a 2026 of Not Fighting Over Crumbs

    Every single person in the United States, from those who’ve been most harmed to those who’ve been most privileged, would be better off if we had a normal government that put even a moderate effort into universally improving everyone’s lives. If we had a government that took trillions of dollars away from the war machine […]

  • Policing of Palestine Movement in Canada

    A new report has been published by the Anti-Racism Program of the CJPME Foundation (ARPCF), documenting how Canadian authorities have responded to pro-Palestinian activism with disproportionate policing, surveillance, and legal targeting. Titled “Policing Palestine Solidarity: A crisis of Civil Liberties in Canada (2021-2025),” the 71-page report finds that in the wake of Gaza solidarity mobilizations, state institutions […]
