  • ‘The Weak Must Suffer’

    The empty UN Security Council Chamber in New York City (Wikipedia) These are exceptional times. The United States has been threatening to take over Greenland, an aggressive move against Europe. Now, and only now, are political leaders and compliant news media publicly acknowledging that the ‘international rules-based order’ is no more. Of course, it was […]

  • Whitewashing U.S. Barbarism by Smearing Russia and China

    Whitewashing U.S. Barbarism by Smearing Russia and China

    The Western media are doing what they usually do: minimizing and covering up the criminal aggression of the United States. Trump’s blatantly illegal military attack on Venezuela, the kidnapping of its president, the murder of foreign nationals, and theft of the country’s vast oil resources are not being called out for the litany of grave […]

  • Mass Media Under-count Indigenous Deaths in US wars

    Mass Media Under-count Indigenous Deaths in US wars

    The eminent, truth-telling and humane Australian web medium Pearls & Irritations has published a responding Letter from me about total sanctions demanded against Apartheid Israel because of hundreds of thousands of Gaza Genocide deaths: Gideon Polya, “MSM under-count indigenous deaths in US wars,” 5 September 2025. I have been researching and writing about Indigenous deaths […]

  • Law, Not Crime, Has Come From South of the Border

    Not so much criminals as the foundations of the rule of law — that is what has infiltrated the United States from Latin America. That seems to be a major thread running through Greg Grandin’s wonderful new history of the hemisphere, America, América: A New History of the New World. It’s a book you can dive back […]

  • Who Wants to Kill and Die for the American Empire?

    Who Wants to Kill and Die for the American Empire?

    “It’s brave to admit your fears” – Ukrainian recruiting poster. Photo credit: Ministry of Defense, Ukraine. The Associated Press reports that many of the recruits drafted under Ukraine’s new conscription law lack the motivation and military indoctrination required to actually aim their weapons and fire at Russian soldiers. “Some people don’t want to shoot. They […]

  • U.S. SecDef Lloyd Austin’s NATO Speech Lies

    U.S. SecDef Lloyd Austin’s NATO Speech Lies

    In an enthusiastically received speech on July 10 to the Washington DC 75th Anniversary NATO Summit, U.S. Secretary of Defense and ‘former’ Raytheon Corporation board member Lloyd Austin strung together lies by the U.S. empire in order to reverse the imperialistic guilt of the U.S. Government for starting the Cold War in order to conquer […]

  • Unbecoming American: Judgement at Normandy

    Unbecoming American: Judgement at Normandy

    Those who learned or vaguely remember what they were taught in school in those deliberately boring hours devoted to the subject called “history” may be forgiven for their confusion at the progressive transformation of core myths from the mid-20th century. Among those are the bundle of fabrications that constitute the history of the “good war”. […]

  • Unbecoming American: Diplomacy and Distraction

    Unbecoming American: Diplomacy and Distraction

    The importance of “peace” in the rhetoric of the West lies not in the sincerity with which it is preached. Rather “peace”, like the DIE dogma emerging from the recent Awakening Crusade (Wokism) is a term of invidious distraction. The intensity and frequency of its use is determined by the underlying concept of domination. As […]

  • Private Profits vs. Social Prophets

    …What we see at work is not an expression of the sentiments of the American people; rather it reflects the will of a powerful minority which uses its economic power to control the organs of political life. — Albert Einstein, Einstein on Peace, p. 343. We entered the massive marketplace labeled “our democracy” as always […]

  • Imperialism and Anti-imperialism Collide in Ukraine (Part 2 of 16)

    It was not surprising that the U.S.’s earsplitting anti-Russian uproar has recently slowed down considerably. Israel’s Zionist genocidal war on the Palestinian people entrapped in Gaza (occupied first in 1967, and then totally blockaded since 2005) stole the limelight. The momentary slowdown gave Russia some breathing time, and the U.S. a possible way out of […]
