The Slow-Motion Equivalent of a Nuclear War?

BY TOM ENGELHARDT Image by Ra Dragon. Tell me, what planet are we actually on? All these decades later, are we really involved in a “second” or “new” Cold War? It’s certainly true that, as late as the 1980s, the superpowers (or so they then liked to think of themselves), the United States and the Soviet Union, were still engaged in just such a Cold War, something that might have seemed almost positive at the time. After all, a “hot” one could have involved the use of the planet’s two great nuclear arsenals and the potential obliteration of just about everything. But today? In case you haven’t noticed, the phrase “new Cold War” or “second Cold War” has indeed crept into our media vocabulary. (Check it out at Wikipedia.) Admittedly, unlike John F. Kennedy, Joe Biden has&nb...

We Know He Committed Crimes, Why isn’t This a Slam-Dunk Case?

BY JENNIFER VAN BERGEN Teflon Trump. Image: JSC an Art AI Generator. A friend of mine asked me this question. My first response was to ask him which case he was talking about and he said “All of them! Any of them!” My friend then asked: “What is the privilege? What is the problem?” My short answer is: These ARE slam-dunk cases. And there is no privilege; there is no problem. And again, a short answer is that the legal system takes time. It takes time to gather evidence — witnesses, documents — and organize it into a coherent, understandable narrative. It’s easy to say these are slam-dunk cases. We saw Trump tell his followers to “Stop the Steal” and we saw them march on the Capitol and attempt to stop the proceedings of Congress to certify the electoral votes. ...

The Interrogation Psychologists Come Home to Roost

BY IAN HANSEN The Freudian Interrogators. Image: JSC and AI Art Generator. Roy Eidelson’s Doing Harm: How the World’s Largest Psychological Association Lost Its Way in the War on Terror is essential reading for understanding the cultural and political world we now inhabit. Eidelson writes from the perspective of an outraged psychologist, who expected much better from his profession than support for a detention and interrogation program that had torture at its core. He provides detailed documentation of the efforts of his fellow psychologist “dissidents” to bring accountability to the American Psychological Association (APA). Full disclosure: As a former president of Psychologists for Social Responsibility, I am one of these dissidents. The APA cultivates...

Kids Shouldn’t Have to Pay for School Lunches

BY SONALI KOLHATKAR The school lunch racket. Image: JSC and AI Art Generator. The United States federal government in 2020 embarked on a grand and beautiful experiment: expanding the use of tax dollars to help stave off poverty. That experiment has now largely ended in a shocking return to business-as-usual. One critical component of the experiment was to ensure that public school students had free lunches via the Department of Agriculture’s National School Lunch program, regardless of family income. During the 2020-2021 school year, 98 percent of all school lunches were free to students, compared to only 68 percent of lunches in the previous year. Luis Guardia, president of the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), pointed out that such data “demon...

Flagging Support: Zelenskyy Loses Favor in Washington

BY BINOY KAMPMARK Photograph Source: Number 10 – CC BY 2.0 Things did not go so well this time around. When the worn Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned up banging on the doors of Washington’s powerful on September 21, he found fewer open hearts and an increasingly large number of closed wallets. The old ogre of national self-interest seemed to be presiding and was in no mood to look upon the desperate leader with sweet acceptance. Last December, Zelensky and Ukrainian officials did not have to go far in hearing endorsements and encouragement in their efforts battling Moscow’s armies. The visit of the Ukrainian president, as White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated at the time, “will underscore the United States’ steadfast commitment to suppo...

Anti-China Brainwashing Is the Fast-Track to War

MIKE WHITNEY  The United States has to have an enemy. For the last seven years, the enemy has been Russia. Now the focus has shifted to China. Take a look at these headlines on Google News and you’ll see what I mean: Has America been too slow to wake up to the China threat? Washington Examiner Why is China a threat to the United States? Quora Is the US ready to address China’s threats in time to make a difference? The Hill China and Russia are waging another Cold War — is the West up to the challenge? The Hill China secretly sends enough gear to Russia to equip an army, Politico Xi Jinping is Preparing China for War, Newsweek Get the picture?

EDWARD CURTIN  “This is slavery, not to speak one’s thoughts.” – Euripides, The Phoenician Women Some time ago on a Sunday evening when my wife and I had just sat down to dinner, our phone rang. Since I didn’t recognize the phone number and it was dinnertime, I hesitated to answer it, but for some chance reason I did. The voice on the other end was agitated, intense, and asked for me. Could he visit immediately because he had urgent news for me? he asked. He told me his name, one I was not familiar with, and said he was a big fan of my book, Seeking Truth in A Country of Lies—that he had read it numerous times. He wondered how I knew so much about the workings of what we might call the deep state, the power elite, the intelligence/moneyed class connections, the as...

China Does Serious Drills in Response to US-Backed Revolutionary Faggots in Taiwan Pushing “New Ukraine” Agenda

They just keep doubling down, while knowing, as a matter of fact, that there is zero chance that Beijing will agree to this. Frankly, I have looked into Vivek Ramaswamy’s policy statements on the issue, and he’s saying pretty much exactly what I would say: ther...

Is the War in the Ukraine Winding Down?

ANDREW ANGLIN  The Ukrainian state is always days away from collapse. That’s why the US has to make these emergency payments so regularly; when the Biden administration transfers something that doesn’t seem like a lot in the scheme of things – a few hundred million dollars – they are doing that to prevent a collapse of the Ukrainian state. It’s an absolute fact that if the US cut support, the Ukraine would have to sign a peace treaty within days. And it would not be one beneficial to the Ukraine. Basically, in the event that the US cuts the money, Russia is just going to bend Kiev over a barrel. Russia doesn’t want to rule over these people who speak “Ukraine language.” But they do want Kharkov and Odessa. A surrender by the Ukraine is going to be an absolute nightmare for...
