Iv’e never been a triumphalist. Perhaps, somewhere deep inside I’m too superstitious. Fortuna’s wheel can turn against you on a dime and certainly doesn’t need any temptation to thwart your plans or wishes. Some people, of course, are triumphalists for a living, such as political media professionals. They have to

Very happy to be in Canada for this particular emergency. The US administration was all over the map has the pandemic started and is paying the price now for having a doofus as head of state. Long-Simmering Realities In many ways, the current crisis has, of course, just

We all know what a stable genius the President is, you really have to admire him coming up with quality solutions on the fly during a press conference. Medical doctors are going to try his ideas as soon as they find a volunteer and an unethical doctor to administer them.

This excerpt from an interview with Marc Steiner from Real News – Noam Chomsky: Well, I’m old enough to remember, as a child, listening to Hitler’s speeches over the radio at the Nuremberg rallies. I couldn’t understand the words when I was six years old, but I could easily

Trump is a tool of the Deep State. He thinks he’s a brave rebel, at war with the Deep State. Or so he thought until the generals schooled him. Now he obeys orders. Trump may be unpredictable and a loose cannon, but by and large, the Deep State has him

Perspective is helpful, and critical. Panic is not. Consider the figures: Japan: Just under 5,000 deaths per year from bathtub drownings; just over 5,000 deaths per year from traffic accidents; 27 deaths from coronavirus, as of March 16 Italy: 3,300 deaths from traffic accidents per year 2,158 deaths

Obsession with Trump (or a virus scare, and hype) is mass distraction, as I’ve said since before his election. “This Trump-washing gets everybody off the hook. Suddenly they’re all heroes. The CIA is heroes, the FBI is heroes…” – Robert Sheerer Yes, war criminals like Hilary, Madeleine Albright, Obama, cast

This is a WTF kind of story. How did corruption get this bad in the USA? Emails and interviews show that after the weeks of C.D.C. rejections, researchers in Seattle decided to defy regulators and test anyway. They ended up finding and reporting the first case of community-transmission in the

Chris Hedges states there is no choice in the 2020 US election if it is a choice between Trump and Biden: both are a vote for the consolidation of the oligarchy. Now that sums it up perfectly well. Mind you, it was the same in 2016. People in Germany felt

It’s obvious now that Donald Trump is averse to reading. He may be the first functional illiterate to receive a degree from Wharton. There’s a story there that we still have not heard. So what’s the good news for the Cheeto Bandito, the Mango Mussolini, the Great Orange Bloat? Illiteracy

I think this is going to end up being a different article than readers might be used to. So before I start I’m going to include some links. If you think someone you love is or is at risk of being radicalized by extremist propaganda or you yourself have fallen down

I decided to follow up the article I posted yesterday concerning the Canadian far-right’s celebration of Trump’s overtly racist Tweet attacking four Congresswomen of colour (followed by a rally in North Carolina where he reveled in the crowd chanting “send them home!” before lying and claiming he didn’t like it

In 1947, a short film was produced by the American War Department warning Americans to be wary of racist demagogues and the dangers they pose to democratic institution: The film was produced in response to horrors of a global war still fresh in the memories of the American public in

That prediction/lie didn’t work out too well. On Wednesday, Todd D. Stern, the United States special envoy for climate change, who was in Beijing for talks, said that some Chinese officials had expressed concern about whether President Obama’s successor would ensure that the United States was committed to the global

That’s how former Trump right-hand man, Steve Bannon, says Donald Trump will be remembered – “just another scumbag.” The former White House adviser Steve Bannon has described the Trump Organization as a criminal entity and predicted that investigations into the president’s finances will lead to his political downfall, when he

The Trump regime is rebranding American LNG as “Freedom Gas.” Mark W Menezes, the US undersecretary of energy, bestowed a peculiar honorific on our continent’s natural resources, dubbing it “freedom gas” in a release touting the DoE’s approval of increased exports of natural gas produced by a Freeport LNG terminal
