The State Department is one of those organizations that deems a hyperlink as “publication” of the material it links to. Publicity, almost certainly, but it’s impossible to knowingly and forever publicize what is being linked to, because websites are dynamic and links get broken due to their targets’ changes. And the State is eager to […]

In case you ever wondered whatever happened to WikiLeaks, it’s still making headlines in the news, from diplomatic cables that are in some cases years old. This is because there’s such a large volume of lies from our governments, that it’s going to take years to reconcile history with the truth. This morning there were […]

I refused to watch any of yesterday’s ceremonies honouring those who were killed 10 years ago in New York. I refused, not out of disrespect for those who lost their lives and for all who still suffer tremendously as a result of that horrible attack. …

This article appeared on PostMedia websites in the lead-up coverage of September 11th, Ten Years Later. A new generation is dawning, and they have no direct grasp of what it means to have lived through September 11, 2001.

It’s 3:45am. For the past week I’ve had a churning in my stomach I can’t shake, and with it I can’t sleep. So much is on my mind, but so much is always on my mind — why should this week be any different? So I’m going to just sit

A collection of diplomatic history since 1966 to the present day. This sentence is changing the world, unintentionally.
