Intro: The following is a statement from a U.S. war criminal, Harry S. Truman, who authorized the nuclear annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, revealing the foundational logic of American complicity in the Nakba:

I had been to Potsdam and I’d seen some of the places where the Jews had been slaughtered by the Nazis. Six million Jews were killed outright—men, women, and children—by the Nazis, and it was my hope that they would …

The disease gets worse and worse every year, and the only remedy that will have permanent effect is to abolish private ownership of industry and production for profit, and substitute public ownership with production for use.

— Upton Sinclair, “Production For Use” in New Deal Thought, 1933, edited by Howard Zinn

Donald Trump, after talking with the San Francisco mayor and wealthy business leaders in the Bay Area, has at least temporarily backed off from unleashing a Chicago-style ICE spectacle there.

This is but the latest un-fascist display by the Orange “Hitler,” who couldn’t …

To weave a magnificent tapestry like the one James W. Douglass has created with Martyrs to the Unspeakable: The Assassinations of JFK, Malcolm, Martin, and RFK takes a steady hand, a hopeful heart, and a steadfast dedication to seeking truth and telling it through factually based and interwoven stories.

Because of its brilliant complexity and documented details, it is difficult to review, but I will say at the outset that it is a masterpiece, the culmination of Douglass’s life of writing about and fighting for peace and justice for our human family.

It is a book that could only be written …

On October 4th, 2025, in an interview with Axios, President Trump stressed that one of the main goals behind his Gaza plan was to restore Israel’s international standing. “Bibi took it very far and Israel lost a lot of support in the world,” Trump said. “Now I am gonna get all that support back.”
Under Trump’s plan, a supposed ceasefire took effect on October 10th. But Israel only withdrew from less than half of …

You have to see that the buildings are anorexic, you have to see that the language is schizogenic, that “normalcy” is manic, and medicine and business are paranoid.
— James Hillman, The Soul’s Code: In Search of Character and Calling

The pain incurred by bracing awareness is crucial here:

The wound can act as a womb birthing art or will fester giving birth to the societal monster known in modernity as fascism. The latter comes into being as a result of the angst and anger created by …

No Kings! YES! Of course!

That’s what inspired American independence in the first place.

But autocracy takes many shapes.

How about No Oligarchs? Or No Deep State? No Police State? No Mass Surveillance? No Compromised Politicians? No Corrupt Judiciary?

There was much enthusiasm and excitement. And talk of channeling that energy into constructive action. There would be regular Calls to Action sent across social media platforms and by direct email.

“Call your Senator today and urge …”

“Call your Representative today and object to …”

“Go to your congressman’s local office and …”

What? Is this a joke?

Let me …

United States President Donald Trump styles himself as a peacemaker. In his rhetoric, he claims credit for his efforts to end the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. Yet beneath the grandstanding lies an absence of substance, at least to date.

The problem is not Trump’s lack of effort, but his lack of proper concepts. Trump confuses “peace” with “ceasefires,” which sooner or later revert to war (typically sooner). In fact, American presidents from Lyndon Johnson onward have been subservient to the military-industrial complex, which profits from endless war. Trump is merely following in that line by avoiding a genuine resolution to …

The wish to be credulous is central to the fraudulent scheme. The one playing the fraud can always rely on some connivance and collaboration from the tricked and the gulled. Many an art curator is bound to turn scarlet at the prospect that their expertise was utterly subverted by a counterfeiter of Picasso and Matisse. The Hungarian painter Elmyr de Hory, immortalized in Orson Welles’s F for Fake, is but one such example. Claiming to be a dispossessed aristocrat with a lucrative stash of originals, he could whip up a Matisse in a matter of minutes. The rest was …

Israel destroyed Iran’s press center in June.
Don’t be fooled by Trump’s words on “Gaza peace”, his peace gesture, and promises of international aid
It has been two years since the unequal war of the Zionist regime against the defenseless and resilient people of Gaza. We are now at the most sensitive and turning point in world history. The major media under the control of the Zionists and the United States are seeking to divert public attention towards US President Donald Trump’s alleged peace in …

Kathryn Bigelow once worked with the CIA to make a movie widely criticized for dishonestly promoting torture and glorifying killing (Zero Dark Thirty). (She has also explicitly advocated for war-making.) Now she has made a movie highlighting the danger of nuclear apocalypse (A House of Dynamite). I know which film I would prefer for you to see. It’s on Netflix.

Netflix has a show called The Diplomat that supports false flag attacks, destructive fossil fuel extraction, government secrecy, the F-35, …

This Day in Anarchist History, October 23rd 1956 we remember the Hungarian Revolution when student protesters and the broader Hungarian working classes took on the Secret Police and the Red Army.

After days of striking and rioting that boiled into a firefight, protesters were able to defeat the country’s Secret Police and even negotiated the withdrawal of the Red Army from Hungary… for a time, that is.

Impromptu proletarian militias wasted no time looting factories to arm themselves. Unfortunately time was in too short supply as the Red Army tanks were sent back just days later, this time with orders to brutally …

Much of the world is rightly transfixed by the genocide in Gaza, the unimaginable horrors experienced by its Palestinian inhabitants, the callous antics of those who would ‘develop’ its ruins (Trump, Blair, Kushner, etc.), and the strong likelihood of more of the same to come for the West Bank.

But what is it that explains why one humanitarian tragedy commands global attention while others that have entailed as much or more suffering for as long or longer seem less deserving of the world’s interest and go relatively unnoticed and unremarked upon?

The case of South Sudan

If international humanitarian interest in a country …

Few times in its history has the International Court of Justice been this busy, if ever. For anyone ignorant of the world court’s existence till now, it has blanketed news coverage with provisional orders and advisory opinions on the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Each order is accompanied by another layering of exasperation and, it must be said, hope that the situation on the ground will somehow alter. The topics have been sanguinary and cruel in their consistency: starvation, the restriction of humanitarian aid, policies of racial segregation and apartheid, population displacements masquerading as evacuation orders and the possibility (to be …

Cartoonery is a powerful weapon against the powerful – richly deserving of satire. How privileged we are to benefit from so many cartoonists who perennially spring from nowhere to harness a craft that transcends language barriers and cuts through literary density.

The rogue state of Israel has naturally provided bounteous raw material for the graphic artist’s talent. Unhappily, the omnipresent diehard Israel support squad finds unpalatable even the minutest adverse treatment of the object of their devotion. Self-censorship of media editors helps. Failing that, considerable weaponry is brought to bear against the transgressor …

The October 13 Muridke incident has left Pakistan shaken once again. The violent clashes between security forces and supporters of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) turned a planned religious procession into one of the deadliest confrontations since the Faizabad sit-in.

What unfolded in the small Punjab town was more than a law-and-order breakdown;  it revealed Pakistan’s deepening struggle with non-state actors, political repression, and the dangerous overlap of religion and power.

Social media platforms flooded with graphic videos and sharply divided opinions. In response to the escalating online unrest, the government temporarily blocked access to Twitter (X), citing national security …
