  • What Abolishing Militaries Includes

    “Abolition” isn’t just a fun word to say. “I want to abolish prisons” doesn’t just mean that you think there are too many prisons and they are too horrible. “Abolish the police” isn’t just a hip way to say “I’m angry at abuse by police.” Abolishing something means eliminating it entirely, which often also means […]

  • “Israel Says” Is Not Journalism

    Note added 1 October 2025: This alert was originally published on 14 August 2025. However, a technical problem prevented it from being shared via our usual email lists. This has now been fixed. Apologies for the delay in sending this out. Late last Sunday, a targeted Israeli attack killed prominent Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif […]

  • Ukraine: America Ain’t Going Anywhere (MAGA)

    So, we are being subjected to the latest bout of verbal gymnastics as analysts bend themselves to the futile task of inferring logic from Donald Trump most recent effusions on matters Ukraine. Futile because the man possesses no approximation of a mind capable of coherent thought processes. His sole fixed reference points are emotional obsessions […]

  • Don’t be Fooled: Others Could Have More Interest in Sending Drones to the Nordic Countries than Russia

    Drones over Nordic airports. No damage. No trace. No answers. Most assume Russia—but what if that’s not so? Why is there so much we are not told? This article explores the strategic ambiguity behind recent drone incursions and asks: Who else might benefit from sending drones into NATO airspace? From Ukraine’s surprising drone supremacy to […]

  • Miracle on the Mediterranean—an Appeal to the Vatican State

    Miracle on the Mediterranean—an Appeal to the Vatican State

    Activists and human rights defenders ride aboard a vessel departing from Tunisia’s northern port of Bizerte on September 14, 2025 to join the last boats taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla, bound for the Gaza Strip to break Israel’s blockade on the Palestinian territory. Sumud means “resilience” in Arabic, and the flotilla describes itself […]

  • Predatory Culture and the Nasty Naked Ape

    Why did humans, who lived for 40,000 years as egalitarian hunter-gatherers, become farmers and abandon equality for a dominance hierarchy permeated with all kinds of nastiness, including war, slavery, and exploitation?   It has remained a mystery why, ten thousand years ago, as farmers, most of humanity moved to social structures dominated by a tiny minority, […]

  • Attempts to Delegitimize: Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly

    It takes a lot to make UN delegates walk out from an address to the General Assembly. But this was precisely what Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, managed to achieve in his September 26 speech. His address began by attempting to show his country as a guardian of law and civilisation, fighting a lonely, unsupported […]

  • Recognize Hamas

    Recognize Hamas

    Meaningless gestures Israel’s most genocidal Western supporters are planning to “recognize” a “Palestinian state”. France, Britain, maybe even Canada if the Palestinian state meets the Canadian Prime Minister’s novel criterion (the Canadian PM said he thinks there needs to be a “Zionist Palestinian State”). This “Palestinian State” will be run by the “Palestinian Authority” and […]

    Might May Rule the Moment, but Right Prevails Forever

    Zainul Abedin (Bangladesh), Untitled, 1944. On 28 November 1924, Sun Yat-sen delivered a speech in Kobe, Japan titled China and Japan: Natural Friends, Unnatural Enemies. Here, he outlined his progressive vision for Pan-Asianism – a world where the ‘rule of right’ would triumph over the ‘rule of might’, where the multitudes of oppressed peoples in […]

  • As Jesus Would Do

    America loves war. Not peace. Not justice. War. It baptizes bombs in democracy and calls the ashes liberation. It funds genocide with tax dollars and calls it foreign aid. It builds empires on the backs of brown bodies, then asks the world to applaud its “exceptionalism.” Jay Janson, the people’s historian, has been shouting this […]
