  • The Global Convoy to Cuba: Response to Washington’s Strangling of Cuba

    Since 1962 the US imposed an economic blockade on Cuba designed “to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.” Until 1990 this brutality was greatly alleviated by the solidarity of the socialist countries which provided the Cuban people with essential trade and aid. That provided some protection, but as 638 Ways to Kill Castro […]

  • What Might Lenin Have Thought About the US-Israeli War on Iran (and the War in Ukraine)

    Facit indignatio versum (Indignation makes my verses) – Juvenal In his analyses of the causes of the first world war, Lenin stressed the importance of understanding the policies the belligerent states pursued before the war. Borrowing from the Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, the Bolshevik leader argued that war is politics by other (namely, […]

  • Beijing Shows Panama the Cost of Abandoning Neutrality

    Beijing Shows Panama the Cost of Abandoning Neutrality

    For decades, Panama successfully cultivated a foreign policy posture of strict neutrality defined by its unique geography centered on the operation of the Panama Canal. This small-state hedging strategy allowed Panama to welcome commercial presence from both the United States and China while maintaining the waterway’s treaty-based impartiality.

    Cuba’s Slow Strangulation and the Empire That Can’t Stop Squeezing

    Some catastrophes arrive like explosions; others arrive like a hand on the throat that tightens, loosens just enough to keep the victim conscious, then tightens again. What is happening to Cuba now is the second kind. It is less a “crisis” than the logical endpoint of a relationship Ada Ferrer, in Cuba: An American History, […]

  • Not a Third Party, a Third Force

    Not a Third Party, a Third Force

    In Part One of this planned series of articles, I wrote about the historical timeliness of a ‘third force’ strategy. I said, “This isn’t something pulled out of the air, or someone’s lofty dreams. It is grounded in historical experience in the United States over the last 60 or so years.” A progressive “third force,” […]

  • Middle Power Nonsense: Australia, Canada and Capitulating to the Iran War

Washington just announced that it cannot defend any of its allies in the area apart from Israel, yet will still exhaust its defensive missile inventory within a week. – Godfree. In the annals […]

    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 […]

    The Trump Regime Proves again to be the Single Largest Danger to Humanity’s Future

    There were only two things that surprised me – and would have been fitting – namely that he had been dressed in military battle uniform (I predict that, as Supreme Commander, he will soon show up in that), and that he did not argue that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize even more for what […]

This is confirmed by Hoyle, the Marquess of Queensbury and natural law. ·       Donald Trump is a psychotic Fascist who is consumed by the mad fantasy of becoming the global emperor.
