Meinungsfreiheit ist nicht nur das Recht, zu Allem seinen Senf dazu zu geben wie an einer Würstelbude. Es ist das Recht, Behauptungen der Mächtigen in Frage zu stellen, Erklärungen und Fakten einzuklagen und Alternativen einzufordern. Das mag unbequem sein, lästig, nerven, bremsen. Aber es ist der Motor des Fortschritts. Ohne Nörgler, Zweifler und Besserwisser kein Fortschritt. Zweifel ist eine gesellschaftliche Produktivkraft. Seine Diffamierung durch angeblich alternativlose Politik ist Rückschritt in vormoderne Zeiten. Deutschland braucht wieder einen Grundkurs in Debatte und Wiederbelebung der Streitkultur.» (- Roland Tichy, Journalist und Publizist)

Why I Am an AI Doomer, by Greg Johnson
In Greg Johnson’s version of Animal Farm, the chickens labor mightily to create a being that is immeasurably smarter and more powerful than they are, on the assumption that this being will serve them. In a way, they were right, for when their new creation, “man,” came online, he served his creators up for dinner....

German automakers announce 100,000 job cut. Germany’s largest union concludes German auto industry “faces the risk of total collapse” from the energy shortage caused by Trump’s “Russian sanctions” and war against Iran for Israel. Volkswagen’s stock price has fallen 75%. German auto plants are moving to produce armaments for Israel, indicating the Israelization of another...

Under Capitalism It's Legal for Employers to Steal from Employees, by Caitlin Johnstone
Doordash has reached a historic $131.5 million settlement to repay workers in New York City for wages the food delivery app stole from them over the last four years, which sounds like a big win for the little guy if you don’t think about it too hard. The Hill reports: So all Doordash has to...

Critical Perspectives on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Historical Struggle, by Jonas E. Alexis
Since its publication at the dawn of the twentieth century, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion has been read and assessed by people from a wide range of ideological and intellectual backgrounds. It continues to attract attention to this day, in part because some readers interpret passages in the text as prophetic or anticipatory,...

(About 30,000 Years of Identity. The History & Traditions of Europeans by Dominique Venner, translated by Alexander Raynor, published by Arktos) There is no shortage of books on European history, and many have been published in all European languages, including English.

Here's Why Macklemore vs. Kraft Will Be the Trial of the Century, by Mike Whitney
Is Macklemore going to sue Robert Kraft? He should. After all, a trial would provide a nation-wide platform for his favorite cause, the plight of the Palestinians. Isn't that what he wants? It is. And now he has a golden opportunity to pursue that objective. All he needs to do is file a suit, drag...

On Late Loyalism: Rescuing the Lost Sheep of Greater Britain, Part One, by Andrew Fraser
When asked sometime in the 1970s what impact the French Revolution had on world history, the Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai replied that it was too early to tell.[1] The historical significance of the American Revolution, on the other hand, is now coming into sharp relief. Having reached their 250th anniversary, the WASP epigones of the...

The U.S. Has More Leverage in Iraq Than It Thinks, by James Durso
The U.S. withdrawal should mark a shift from control to influence, with Washington relying more on investment, financial leverage, intelligence and defense cooperation rather than a permanent military presence. Militia reform should be gradual and Iraqi-led. Washington still holds considerable leverage after withdrawal, particularly through the dollar system, sanctions and Western investment, but using those...

The Camp of the Saints Has Arrived in Texas, by Paul Craig Roberts
White Texas Republicans–US Senator John Cornyn, Texas state Rep. Lacey Hull, Texas state Rep. Jared Patterson, Texas state Rep. Jeff Leach, and a number of other Republicans regard immigrant-invaders from the Muslim Middle East and from India as Texans. Indian Pooja Sethi, standing for the Texas legislature says: “I am what Texas looks like, “and...

Another Week of Dangerous Nonsense from Donald Trump, by Philip Giraldi
It is hard to imagine how President Donald Trump’s insane assertions might go beyond the point of being merely demented to something far worse, i.e. catastrophic. Last week provided one such experience when Trump reportedly rushed back from Camp David to the White House so he could contemplate the possibility of “destroying Iran” with the...

Heading Back to the USA, Where Diesel Is Still Rising, by Larry C. Johnson
I am in-between flights heading back to Florida. The trip to and from Moscow is arduous. Between flights and layovers I will spend a total of 32 hours traveling. Not for the faint of heart. I am not doing any podcasts on Tuesday or Wednesday because of the travel schedule. Trump made a total ass...

It's Good to Bully Celebrities About Palestine, by Caitlin Johnstone
I strongly disagree with the idea that it’s unhelpful to bully celebrities about their position on Palestine. On the contrary, I think we should bully them more. We tend to underestimate the consequences of the fact that all the most amplified voices in our society are millionaires. Under capitalism the people with the largest platforms...

Only One of the Three Autumn Elections–the American One–Is Likely to Tell Us Anything, by Paul Craig Roberts
One of the three autumn elections that I thought might give us an indication of future events has been held. On the surface, it doesn’t look as if Putin’s 4.5 year old war against the proxy of Russia’s enemy–Ukraine– instead of against the enemy itself–the US and Europe–had any effect on United Russia, the party...

The National Security Exception Was Never Going to Stop at Prosecuting Muslims, by Sufia Khalid
For 25 years, the US ran a parallel legal system largely for Muslims. It now reaches immigrants and the left. Less than two weeks after the September 11, 2001, attacks, President George W. Bush told Congress that the war on terror “begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there.” Twenty-five years later, his...

India’s BRICS’ Dilemma: Multi-Alignment and Flexibility Without a Clear Global South Vision. Part 2., by J. Ricardo Martins
India’s central challenge is not the existence of contradictory partnerships. Great powers routinely manage competing relationships. The deeper problem is the absence of a clearly articulated geopolitical vision capable of reconciling those relationships with India’s claims to defend multipolarity, sovereignty, and a Global South leader. India’s multi-alignment policy has given New Delhi more diplomatic flexibility,...

Caroline Sturdy Colls’s New Book on Treblinka, by Carlo Mattogno
Caroline Sturdy Colls’s forensic results are completely invalidated by a very serious initial error: When Sturdy Colls visited the former campgrounds in 2010, she assumed that its condition, in terms of soil stratification, was identical to that of 1943, when the Germans abandoned the camp. However, this does not correspond to reality at all, and...

The Calm Before the Showdown, by Pepe Escobar
This was supposed to be the calm before the storm. Where the Epstein Syndicate would schmooze the Global South gathered in New York for the – comatose – UN General Assembly and seduce them with assorted “gifts”, wooing them away from the impending Great Debacle and deflecting attention from the breathtaking speed of the collapse...

Trump’s Diesel Alibi: Blaming Kyiv for a Crisis Made in the Gulf, by Larry C. Johnson
The charge is simple, and Donald Trump has built a very public demand on Kyiv around it: Ukraine’s strikes on Russian refineries are starving the world of diesel. Here is what that charge misses. Russia’s sour crude does not vanish when its refineries burn. It gets loaded onto tankers and sold, as crude, to India...

A Commentary on the Life of Daniel Berrigan, by Robert S. Griffin
It was a little after noon on a warm, sunny spring day on May 17th, 1968 in Catonsville, Maryland, a quiet suburb of Baltimore, when three cars pulled into the parking lot of the Knights of Columbus Hall. A casual passerby wouldn’t have imagined that a draft board was located on the upper floor of...

President Trump Bribes the People, by Ron Paul
President Trump, speaking at the Republicans’ midterm convention, pledged that if Republicans maintained control of the Congress in the November election every adult American will receive 5,000 dollars from the government. President Trump said that the government could afford the estimated 1.3 trillion dollars cost “because we’ve done so well and because our country is...
