U.S. Should Exit War in Ukraine, Stop Supporting

U.S. Should Exit War in Ukraine, Stop Supporting

⋅

Doug Bandow The U.S. announced Thursday it will provide another round of security assistance to Ukraine including weapons and equipment totaling around $500 million. But, as Doug Bandow, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute, notes in an article in The American Conservative, more support won’t fix what Ukraine needs most: manpower. He also provides the inconsistent arguments the U.S. uses to justify the continuing war. Bandow also commented recently on how President-elect Donald Trump can avoid furthering […]

The Denouement About the Assad Family

The Denouement About the Assad Family

⋅

It turns out that both the mainstream and the alternative-news portrayals of the Assad family were wrong. Whereas the mainstream portrayal was lies (such as this and this and this), the alt-news portrayal whited-out the very real evidence (and this, of course, does NOT include any of those U.S.-and-allied faked ‘evidences’) against the Assads. An example of this white-out is here: —— transcript: https://www.memri.org/tv/fmr-british-mp-george-galloway-arabs-lost-cause-syrian-girl https://archive.is/cesuB video: https://www.memri.org/player/clip/68359/934,467/1 14 December 2014 “Former British MP George Galloway And ‘Syrian Girl’ Maram Susli Lament The Fall Of The Assad Regime” […]

Bourbon Street and America’s Silent Chernobyl

Bourbon Street and America’s Silent Chernobyl

⋅

The first day of 2025 witnessed two terrorist attacks on American soil, leaving 16 dead and 35 injured. Beyond the tragic loss of life, the most significant casualty of the attacks was the American public’s trust in the authorities responsible for their safety—or at the very least, their right to be informed—undermined by Chernobyl-like recklessness in planning and gaslighting in the cover-up. In 1986, the explosion at Chernobyl’s nuclear reactor in the then-Soviet Union instantly killed two workers. […]

FLASHBACK: Glenn Greenwald: Pro-Israel sentiment in the U.S. is at least as bad for freedom of speech as Islamist terrorists murdering cartoonists

FLASHBACK: Glenn Greenwald: Pro-Israel sentiment in the U.S. is at least as bad for freedom of speech as Islamist terrorists murdering cartoonists

⋅

My post from a decade ago is now behind a Washington Post paywall, but I reprint it below: Apparently, the real lesson we should be learning from the murder of “blasphemous” French cartoonists is that American pro-Israel activists are at least as repressive as Islamist terrorists. That’s because the former have purportedly created a “taboo” against criticizing Israel–a purported taboo, I should note, that Greenwald himself and many other bloggers, along with every major American newspaper and left-of-center […]

Discussion: Will AI take all jobs?

Discussion: Will AI take all jobs?

⋅

I often hear this doomsday scenario: Robots with human level intelligence or abilities will be bought up by the super-rich and we will lose all of the influence we previously had in labor. Now, we won’t have the power of labor to go on strike since we can just be replaced, and will all starve. Why this is incorrect. These robots will first be bought by the super rich, and everyone who owns them will no longer need […]

Why I am not a Communist

Why I am not a Communist

⋅

In relation to any political doctrine there are two questions to be asked: (1) Are its theoretical tenets true? (2) Is its practical policy likely to increase human happiness? For my part, I think the theoretical tenets of Communism are false, and I think its practical maxims are such as to produce an immeasurable increase of human misery. The theoretical doctrines of Communism are for the most part derived from Marx. My objections to Marx are of two […]
