  • 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, […]

  • We Are Someone’s Dirty Work

    “Love In Tehran” © Jan Oberg “We are someone’s dirty work. And by “us,” I mean Iranians actually living in Iran. It doesn’t matter what group you think you belong to or what you believe; at the end of the day, our lives are just a resource for someone else’s agenda. We are the currency […]

  • Punishing Language: Queensland’s Antisemitism Bill

    In a feat of enterprising delusion and sinister suppression, Australia’s second largest state has decided to deal with what it regards as an antisemitic problem. After last December’s attacks on Sydney’s Bondi Beach by two gunmen on attendees of a Hanukkah event that left 15 people dead, it has become modish to insist that a […]

  • Not Forgetting the Victims: Club Epstein and Crimes Against Humanity

    Not Forgetting the Victims: Club Epstein and Crimes Against Humanity

    With a sex trafficking, flesh peddling empire of favours, logistics and the good time to be had by the powerful, the gigantic scale of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network continues to disturb. The least savoury digital library on the planet, available through the offices of the US Justice Department as the Epstein Library, is being combed […]

  • If You Think Our Rulers Do Bad Things in Secret, Wait Til You See What They Do out in the Open

    They launched a live-streamed genocide in full view of the entire world. They’re openly targeting civilian populations with siege warfare in Iran and Cuba in full view of the entire world. They openly kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation in full view of the entire world. They deliberately provoked a horrific and dangerous proxy war in Ukraine in full view of the […]

  • In the Wake of the Epstein Files Release, Remember that Abuse Is Everywhere

    When I first came to Japan in 1989, a few Japanese actually told me that there was no child abuse in Japan. That shows that there was little consciousness of this social problem in those days. But I would guess that most people in the U.S. and Japan, of my generation at least, have been […]

  • Practicing Vulnerability: A Black Man’s Struggle toward Understanding and Belonging

    From an early age, most boys absorb the message—whether stated directly or modeled by the men and women in their lives—that to be a man is to be tough. I learned that early. In my household, crying got me grounded or spanked, or both. And, of course, I was expected not to cry about the […]

  • Are Judges at the European Court of Human Rights Worse than Terrorists?

    Imagine a train hurtling out of control, its passengers’ lives in peril. One traveler reaches for the emergency brake, only for others to disable it, dooming the locomotive to crash into a crowded town and claim hundreds of lives. What charges would follow? Under European criminal law, culpability hinges on intent, context, and motive—ranging from […]

  • ICE Is at War with the United States

    ICE Is at War with the United States

    The U.S. government has the world’s most expensive military waging wars around the world. It also now has a military aimed at the United States itself. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has a budget larger than any military in the world except 12. It has military weaponry and vehicles. It has military training from the […]

  • 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 […]
