The Mind-Breakers: the Case of Ramzi Bin al-Shibh

BY JEFFREY ST. CLAIR The Shattered Mind. Image: JSC & AI Art Generator. Time to Pony Up! Yes, as I hope you’ve noticed, we are nearing the end of the first week of our annual fundraiser. We’re doing okay, thanks to opening salvos of donations from loyal CounterPunchers, but as of yet not nearly well enough. CounterPunch needs your help and without it in generous measure in the next three weeks, we will not survive. We make this appeal every year and please empty your mind of the sort of cynicism one develops after meeting for the fourth time in one day the same mendicant trying to raise “bus money” to get home. We are mendicants year after year because we have no safety net. Over the years we have accumulated many wonderful friends of CounterPu...

Nazi rehabilitation reaching unprecedented levels in Estonia

Lucas Leiroz, member of the BRICS Journalists Association, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, military expert. Russophobic madness and neo-Nazism are becoming increasingly worrying phenomena in Western-aligned countries – especially in the Baltic states. In addition to creating apartheid policies against ethnic Russians, these states are making their admiration for historical Nazi figures completely public and open, showing how Hitlerite i...

Empty Chair Diplomacy 2.0 at the United Nations

BY DANIEL WARNER Photograph Source: in transition – CC BY 2.0 The game of musical chairs is popular with children. If the child’s game is based on successfully sitting on a chair when the music stops, recent diplomacy at the U.N. has been focused on empty chairs. Empty chair diplomacy goes back to French President Charles de Gaulle when the French boycotted European institutions in July 1965. The French leader’s boycott showed he favored European integration rather than increased power to European institutions. It reflected de Gaulle’s disdain for supranational organizations. Empty chair diplomacy re-appeared at the recent annual meeting of the United Nations. Four out of five leaders of the permanent member states of the U.N. Security Council (UNSC) decided, alb...

The RELIGIOUS WAR behind GAZA MARINE GAS Netanyahu & Hamas vs Christian Tycoon Ally of Palestinian Muslims

VT Condemns the ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALESTINIANS by USA/Israel $ 280 BILLION US TAXPAYER DOLLARS INVESTED since 1948 in US/Israeli Ethnic Cleansing and Occupation Operation; $ 150B direct "aid" and $ 130B in "Offense" contractsSource: Embassy of Israel, Washington, D.C. and US Department of State. by Fabio Giuseppe Carlo Carisio VERSIONE IN ITALIANO One of the important reasons for the genocide in Palestine cannot be understood without analyzing the background of the agreement for the exploitation of the gas fields called Gaza Marine as they are a few hundred nautical miles in front of the Strip tormented by Israel’s bombings. But we cannot fully grasp the importance of this strategic project without analyzing the story of one of the main protagonists: the ...

“I Am Not Now, Nor Have I Ever Been”: Musings on Communism and Anti-Communism

BY JONAH RASKIN Jonah Raskin reading under the images of Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh, circa 1970. If you grew up in the 1950s, as I did in a lefty American family, the name Joseph McCarthy elicited as much loathing as that of John Wilkes Booth and Benito Mussolini. The zeitgeist of the late 1940s and early 1950s—fueled by the Cold War—were, as troubadour Peter Seeger sang, while he strummed the banjo, “a terrible time,” though it was also, he added, “a wonderful time.” A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens’s novel of the French Revolution, begins on a similar note: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” I remember the best and the worst: the resilience and the fear. The era left its mark on me and many of my contemporaries who also grew up i...

Is the Media Really Liberal?

BY NICK LICATA Photograph Source: woodleywonderworks – CC BY 2.0 Conservative commentators and politicians attack the reliability of the “media” since they believe the liberals control it. They often point to television and some social media like Facebook. Except for the New York Times and Washington Post, they have avoided attacking other printed media and radio. While the liberals do not dismiss all media as being too conservative, they argue that big corporations’ concentration of media ownership limits the breadth of opinion and promotes conservative views, such as promoting a smaller federal government. Liberals don’t campaign for big government. Still, they support government intervention in regulating the marketplace and social behavior. The first is for m...

New Foreign Intervention Would be Disastrous for Haiti’s People

BY W. T. WHITNEY U.S. Marines in Bel Air, Haiti, 2004. Photograph Source: LCPL KEVIN MCCALL, USMC – Public Domain The United Nations Security Council on October 2 voted to approve a resolution prepared by the United States and Ecuador that authorized a multi-national force to be deployed to Haiti for a year “to combat armed bands and reestablish security.” The vote was 13 nations approving, Russia and China abstaining, and none opposing. In mid-September at the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. President Joe Biden and Ariel Henry, Haiti’s acting president, called for a multi-national militarized occupation of Haiti. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres had done so earlier. U.S. spokespersons say that $100 million is being soug...

As RFK Jr. Shifts His 2024 Strategy, He’s Bad News for Progressives

BY JEFF COHEN - NORMAN SOLOMON Photograph Source: Artaxerxes – CC BY-SA 4.0 If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. follows through on his apparent plans to run for president in the fall 2024 general election, that will make it all the more important for progressives to have a clear understanding of who Kennedy is and what he really stands for. In advance of announcing that he’ll run as an independent, according to Mediaite, the Kennedy campaign will deploy “attack ads” against the Democratic National Committee for preventing an open primary process. The DNC’s shenanigans deserve to be condemned, and we’ve repeatedly done so, including here, here and here. Kennedy can be forceful in denouncing aspects of U.S. militarism – making valid points about hawki...

Nuclear Power Has Long Stifled Renewables, Now It’s Time for It to Go Extinct

BY LINDA PENTZ GUNTER The green atom. Image: JSC and AI Art Generator. We needn’t have had Fukushima at all, now 12 years old and still emitting radiation, still not “cleaned up”, still responsible for forbidden zones where no one can live, play, work, grow crops. We needn’t have had Chornobyl either, or Three Mile Island, or Church Rock. We needn’t have almost lost Detroit. We could have avoided climate change as well. Not just by responding promptly to the early recognition of the damage fossil fuels were doing. But also by heeding one sensible plan that, if it had been acted upon, would have removed the nuclear power elephant from the energy solutions room and possibly also saved us from plunging into the climate catastrophe abyss in which we now find ourselves.
