US and UK media censor away a president’s criminal activity

By Lawrence Davidson Presidential thuggery The world has gotten little but grief from the post-World War II crop of US presidents. Whatever the nature of their domestic policies, often influenced by selfish and biased special interests, their foreign policies have often been much worse. How many Central and South Americans have been murdered, tortured and raped by military thugs trained and supported by the US government? US presidents, blinded by ideology, pushed NATO to the borders of Russia and thereby bear much responsibility for the destruction of Ukraine. An entire people – the Palestinians – have been condemned to near destruction with the aid of US support for Israel. And then there was Iraq where, on the basis of nothing more than deception, ignorance and an utt...

Human Rights Defenders Blast Biden’s ‘Shameful’ Red Carpet Welcome for Indian PM Modi

BRETT WILKINS Human rights defenders this week condemned President Joe Biden's upcoming state dinner for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi—who was once banned from entering the United States for supporting violent Hindu supremacists who massacred Muslims—as part of an ongoing U.S. "whitewash" of the right-wing leader's extremism. Modi—who rep...

JULIA CONLEY The latest Israeli attack on a refugee camp in the West Bank city of Jenin on Monday morning killed at least five Palestinians, including a 15-year-old boy, and left another teenager with a critical wound after being shot in the head. At least 91 people were wounded and 10 were in critical condition after an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raid that was reportedly aimed at arresting two people, incl...

(Photo: R.Satish Babu/AFP via Getty Images) "The consequences of climate injustice are starkly visible," said Amnesty International India. KENNY STANCIL As parts of India endure a searing heatwave, hundreds of people have been hospitalized and more than 100 have died in two of the country's most populous states over the past several days. From last Thursday through Sunday, at least 68 people died in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh (UP), and more than 40 people died in the neighboring state of Bihar. During that period, maximum temperatures in the region soared to between 43°C and 45°C (109°F to 113°F), several degrees above average. The bliste...

An Accident Waiting to Happen: NATO Looks to Asia

BY BINOY KAMPMARK Photograph Source: DOD photo by U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Jerry Morrison – Public Domain Since the end of the Cold War, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation has distinctly strayed from its original purpose. It has become, almost shamelessly, the vessel and handmaiden of US power, while its burgeoning expansion eastwards has done wonders to upend the applecart of stability. From that upending, the alliance started bungling. It engaged, without the authorisation of the UN Security Council, in a 78-day bombing campaign of Yugoslavia – at least what was left of it – ostensibly to protect the lives of Kosovar Albanians. Far from dampening the tinderbox, the Kosovo affair continues to be an explosion in the making. Members of the alliance also expended mater...

AI vs. AI: Flash Wars and Human Extinction

BY MICHAEL T. KLARE Photo by Owen Beard A world in which machines governed by artificial intelligence (AI) systematically replace human beings in most business, industrial, and professional functions is horrifying to imagine. After all, as prominent computer scientists have been warning us, AI-governed systems are prone to critical errors and inexplicable “hallucinations,” resulting in potentially catastrophic outcomes. But there’s an even more dangerous scenario imaginable from the proliferation of super-intelligent machines: the possibility that those nonhuman entities could end up fighting one another, obliterating all human life in the process. The notion that super-intelligent computers might run amok and slaughter humans has, of course, long been a staple...

From ICC to ‘Sportswashing’: West’s Self-Serving Narratives Must Be Combated

BY RAMZY BAROUD In March, the South Africa Communist Party (SACP) denounced what it described as the ‘imperialist bias’ of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The denunciation of the ICC as a “supranational institution at the service of imperialist states” came two days after the Hague-based court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and another Russian official for alleged war crimes in Ukraine. The speed with which the case against Putin was lodged, discussed and followed by concrete action raised many questions about the integrity, balance and political agenda of the Western-inclined court. While Palestinians immediately, and rightly, protested the hypocrisy of the ICC as it continues to treat alleged Israeli war criminal...

What do Pat Robertson, ‘Israel’ and Heaven Have in Common?

BY REB HALABI Pat Robertson was Mr Televangelist par excellence. He developed the formula of how to appear Godly and greedy at the same time. He has passed from this world to…well…wherever he believes he was headed, and possibly been judged and found wanting. Wanting of a dash of genuine humanity for all – not just those who held the same fundamentalist Christian beliefs as he did. Although his long shadow has left us, his heavy footprint has not. Robertson developed a folksy persona so that when he went for the jugular of the American people, they felt he was just a wise old uncle who had their best interests at heart. One may argue that what he had in his heart was a desire for far too much money and power. He was estimated to be worth over US$100 million. Hardly Jesus in a ...

America’s War for Oil and the Great Mesopotamian Dustbowl

BY JUAN COLE Photograph Source: Tech. Sgt. David McLeod – Public Domain It was one of the fabled rivers of history and the Marines needed to cross it. In early April 2003, as American forces sought to wrap up their conquest of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, and take strongholds to its north, the Marine Corps formed “Task Force Tripoli.” It was commanded by General John F. Kelly (who would later serve as Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff). His force was charged with capturing the city of Tikrit, the birthplace of dictator Saddam Hussein. The obvious eastern approach to it was blocked because a bridge over the Tigris River had been damaged. Since the Marines assembled the Task Force in northeastern Baghdad, its personnel needed to cross the treacherous, hard-flowing Tigris...

The Radical Life of Mother Jones

BY VICTOR GROSSMAN Mother Jones with the children of miners. Library of Congress. For decades and decades this elderly lady was loved by American miners from Pennsylvania to Colorado. For them she was “Mother Jones”! And the affection was mutual. Those were her “boys” – whom she fought for and cheered on till the end of her very long life. For the coal-mine bosses, however, above all during a strike, or if one threatened, she was a total nightmare, pure poison! That was because she organized the working men – and very definitely the women – to fight! She had to be kept away at all costs! She wrote a wonderful autobiography, and its recollections are better than what anyone else can write, so I will quote lots of it – like this description of a telephone call in a mining di...
