»Die politischen Reden und Schriften von heute bestehen fast ausschließlich aus vorgefertigten Phrasen, die von Experten wie Bauteile aus einem Metallbaukasten zusammengeschraubt werden. Das ist das unvermeidliche Ergebnis der Selbstzensur. Um eine einfache, starke Sprache zu schreiben, muss man furchtlos denken, und wenn man furchtlos denkt, kann man sich nicht an vorgegebene politische Lehren halten.« (- George Orwell, Journalist und Publizist)

Heads or Tails, Wall Street Wins: Saving Our Pensions from the Casino, by Ellen Brown
“Most billionaires don’t park their money in making more businesses. They park their money in the stock market.

If You Lie to Voters About Not Starting a New War, the Voters Make You Pay, by Larry C. Johnson
American voters have a long memory for one particular kind of broken promise.

On election night 2024, Donald Trump...

Israel’s Election Shows Its Democracy Is A Sham, But the West Can’t Stop Buying the Lie, by Jonathan Cook
Israel’s general election last week unmasked beyond question the West’s much-cherished fiction of Israel as a “Jewish and democratic state”. That Israel’s democratic pretensions are taken seriously should in itself be astounding. For decades Israel has been given a free pass – revered even – as the “only democracy in the Middle East”. Western establishments...

The Morning After, by Kevin DeAnna
Well, it was as many predicted, in fact, much worse. The GOP was crushed in midterm elections, and the consequences could be permanent.

4 NOVEMBER—A reader with a gift for cutting comment wrote in response to the column published in this space prior to yesterday’s elections: I imagine the observations of Merfy Mac, as this reader identifies, may seem unduly dismissive now that the results of Tuesday’s polls are in.

Yes, "White Nationalists" Tanked the Republicans, by Greg Johnson
The blue tsunami in the US midterms was not an endorsement of the Democrats. The people who voted for the Democrats voted for them in 2024 as well, but the Democrats did not sweep to power then. The Democrats alone did not have the power to do this. They were placed in power by people...

Israel Supporters Always Pretend to Believe Things They Don't Actually Believe, by Caitlin Johnstone
The New York Times has published a story about a supposed Iranian plot to use chemical weapons which nobody actually believes.

Qeshm is only a little over 20 km off Bandar Abbas and...
