  • Tim Walz for Veep: Barely Noticed or Noticeable

    While the Kamala Harris coronation for Democratic presidential nomination continues in its safely shielded path, her sacred status among party members growing with each day, the decision to select Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota as Vice Presidential running mate had all the hallmarks of unbearable caution.  Caution for being secure from any ambition on his […]

  • NATO Imperialist Insistence Will Continue to be Met with Global South Resistance

    This July, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) held its annual summit in Washington, DC, where they celebrated themselves for continuing to exist for 75 years, despite the growing opposition around the world to Western hegemony that the US, EU, and their military gang of thugs NATO carry out. Even after months of massive and […]

  • The Ardent Pipe Dreams of American Voters

    The Ardent Pipe Dreams of American Voters

    To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It’s irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober. — Eugene O’Neill, The Iceman Cometh, Written […]

  • Kamala Harris: Papier-mâché Coronation

    How aristocratic it all sounds, if only in a playground, papier-mâché sense.  The language of the estates, the “crowning,” the “coronation,” words repurposed for republican politics, is much in evidence with Kamala Harris, who is all but guaranteed formal nomination at the Democratic Party Convention as US presidential candidate.  She has now secured the necessary […]

  • The Country of the Rust Belt and the Broken Road

    The Country of the Rust Belt and the Broken Road

    José Clemente Orozco (Mexico), The Epic of American Civilisation, 1932–1934. In his inaugural presidential address on 20 January 2017, Donald Trump used a powerful phrase to describe the situation in the United States: ‘American carnage’. In 1941, seventy-six years before this speech, Henry Luce wrote an article in Life magazine about the ‘American century’ and […]

  • Does the End Matter?

    Does the End Matter?

    Among the subjects of instruction in schools are the local language, spoken and written; the techniques of computation, arithmetic and algebra or geometry; the principles of the physical world, chemistry and physics; and the story of the country in which the school is located—unless it is a colony in which case the story of the […]

  • Puppet Realisations: Biden Stands Aside

    Having been endorsed as the only viable candidate to battle Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential elections, Joe Biden was subsequently browbeaten and harried into leaving the way open for another candidate.  It involved some movement of political furniture, but nothing more. The process resulting in Biden’s decision had increasingly bulked over the last two […]

  • Tempting Armageddon as a national strategic policy

    If you want to get ahead in Washington, devise the most dangerous, reckless, merciless and destructive plan for US world domination. If it kills millions of people (especially if they are mostly women and children), you will be called a bold strategist. If tens of millions more become refugees, it will be even more impressive. […]

  • Engineering a Crisis: How Political Theater Helps the Deep State Stay in Power

    Engineering a Crisis: How Political Theater Helps the Deep State Stay in Power

    A failed assassination attempt on a presidential candidate. An incumbent president withdrawing his re-election bid at the 11th hour. A politicized judiciary that fails to hold the powers-that-be accountable to the rule of law. A world at war. A nation in turmoil. This is what controlled chaos looks like. This year’s election-year referendum on which […]

  • Biden Drops Out, Endorses Harris

    Kamala’s negatives are even worse than Biden’s. That said, now that he has endorsed her – the party will have to accept her as their nominee. It is going to be a landslide for Trump. He will easily hit and surpass the 270 electoral votes needed to become the next President of the United States […]
