American Dystopia Gets Bleaker

BY EVE OTTENBERG “The End of the Road.” Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. With far-right kooks in GOP-controlled state legislatures backing drastic electoral alterations, we could have a real mess come November. The goal, in states like Texas, could be to override a popular vote that goes against what rightists want. In other words, stealing the election. If that happens it will usher in no mere political change in degree in the Exceptional Empire, but a change in kind. The last vestiges of democracy will vanish out the window, because such a development would not be a one-off, but would likely instead herald a new dystopian normal, as many have noted, and I’ll add my voice to the threnody. An entrenched oligarchy is already so passe. Something new is wanted by fanatics on the right. Th...

How the Elites Use Identity Politics to Wage Class War

BY EVE OTTENBERG Photo by Kayle Kaupanger on Unsplash Identity politics got a bad name in recent years. This happened because the Democratic party abandoned its base of ordinary working people for Wall Street, and as it did so, made a big fuss about its progressive cred by appointing token women, Blacks, gay and trans people to various high perches. But not surprisingly, working people of all colors and genders concluded the Dems didn’t care about them anymore and either abandoned voting, or masochistically defected to the GOP, which meanwhile started having a field day treating Dem tokenism as proof of the Great Replacement in action. So everyone got riled up about identity politics, while the one identity never mentioned, and possibly the most important, thou...

UK government’s lying to Parliament on behalf of the Nazi entity

UK government’s lying to Parliament on behalf of Israel must stop Is it ignorance or a dark conspiracy to hide the apartheid state’s vile crimes and buy it more time to annex the rest of Palestine? By Stuart Littlewood Lying or knowingly misleading Parliament is a serious offence and those who do so can be ruled in contempt of Parliament and asked to resign. The Ministerial Code requires ministers to be truthful and correct any inadvertent error at the earliest opportunity while the Nolan Principles, which apply to everyone holding public office, not only demand truthfulness but require them to avoid placing themselves under any obligation to people or organisations that might inappropriately influence them in their work. Last week Andrew Mitchell (pict...

TikTok and US National Insecurity

BY MEL GURTOV Photograph Source: Solen Feyissa – CC BY-SA 2.0 High-tech spying is in the news because of the one-sided, hypocritical debate in Congress on whether the popular app TikTok is actually a tool for Chinese government data collection on American users. The sensitivity of the issue has to do not only with rivalry with China but also the fact that the US government has recently been the target of hackers. In November 2021 President Biden banned use of Pegasus, a powerful Israeli-made surveillance tool, by all US government agencies. His order came in the wake of two developments: hackers who used Pegasus to break into the phones of some State Department employees, and investigative journalism that revealed use of Pegasus by many governments, democratic as well as...

The Dogs of Chernobyl

BY LINDA PENTZ GUNTER A mother dog and her puppies at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. (Photo: Tim Mousseau / CFF+ © 2020) Pity the poor dogs (and cats) of Chornobyl. Abandoned in 1986 by owners fleeing the nuclear disaster, their descendants live on in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, an area deemed too radioactive for human habitation and in a country now at war. Shortly after the 1986 nuclear accident, that saw Chornobyl unit 4 explode and spew deadly radioactive fallout across the former Soviet Union and Western Europe, Soviet authorities made an effort to cull the abandoned pets. (For animal lovers who watched the Sky/HBO drama series, “Chernobyl”, this was a particularly disturbing episode.) Now, Chornobyl’s hapless lost dogs and cats find themselves living in a war z...

Did Fox News Just Find Religion?

BY REV. GRAYLAN SCOTT HAGLER - ARIEL GOLD Photograph Source: Gage Skidmore – CC BY-SA 2.0 Tucker Carlson got fired! Many liberals are celebrating, calling it a reckoning — a win for racial justice and decency. With this bombshell revelation, some might even believe that Fox News has finally gotten religion and seen the error of its ways. It’s better late than never, they say. Salvation is always possible. But if Fox did find religion, why did it take so long? Religion is not something that is found overnight. It is a conversion that moves us when it takes hold at the core of our being. It’s hard to believe that Fox has suddenly seen the light and come to the conclusion that the blatant racism, hatred and xenophobia that the network has trafficked in for so long is not...

War, What is It Good For?

BY TOM ENGELHARDT I was born on July 20, 1944, amid a vast global conflict already known as World War II. Though it ended with the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 before I could say much more than “Mama” or “Dada,” in some strange fashion, I grew up at war. Living in New York City, I was near no conflict in those years or in any since. My dad, however, had volunteered for the Army Air Corps at age 35 on December 8, 1941, the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He fought in Burma, was painfully silent about his wartime experiences, and died on Pearl Harbor Day in 1983. He was the operations officer for the 1st Air Commandos and his war, in some strange sense, came home with him. Like so many vets, then and now, he was never willing to ...

War Prevention Depends on Respecting Invisible Geopolitical Faultlines

BY RICHARD FALK Photo by Luca Bravo If we look back on the major wars of the prior century and forward to the growing menace of a war fought with nuclear weaponry, there is one prominent gap in analysis and understanding. This gap is to my knowledge rarely acknowledged, or even discussed, by political leaders or addressed in the supposedly independent main media platforms in the West. Indeed, the gap seems to be explicitly denied, and given a hegemonic twist, by the Biden presidency, especially by Antony Blinken’s repeated insistence that American foreign policy, unlike that of its principal adversaries, is ‘rule-governed.’ At first glance ‘rule-governed’ might be nothing more than a concise synonym for adherence to international law. Blinken makes no such claim, and eve...
