  • The UK’s Growing Involvement in the Iran War

    Wars can distract, and for leaders in political purgatory, they can be particularly useful. It remains to be seen whether the UK’s increasing involvement in the illegal war being waged on Iran by Israel and the United States will serve that purpose. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, the great saviour of the British Labour Party […]

  • A Question of Needlessness: Selling Iron Dome to Australia

    The world of defence policy is truly another planet. There, budgets are given to astronomical burgeoning and bizarre readings. Threats can be invented or exaggerated. Insecurity can be inflated. Decisions for the next project supposedly more lethal and more effective than ever can be made with cavalier disregard to realities. And the next cockeyed, buffoonish idea can […]

  • Europe’s Staged Panic over False Flag Non-Russian Drones?

    Officially, the drones were not identified. By simply thinking critically – which journalists and selected experts no longer do – there may be a good reason for that.

    What’s Next for Battlefield America?

    I did not know Israel was capturing or recording my face. [But Israel has] been watching us for years from the sky with their drones.

  • Why There Should Be a Treaty Against the Use of Weaponized Drones

    Citizen activism to bring about changes in how brutal wars are conducted is extremely difficult, but not impossible.  Citizens have successfully pushed through the United Nations General Assembly treaties to abolish nuclear weapons and to ban the use of landmines and cluster munitions. Of course, countries that want to continue to use these weapons will […]

    The global pandemic was not completely catastrophic in its effects. It led to the cancellation, and postponement, of wasteful projects and events. It spared public money.
