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)

War, What Is It Good For?
Reprinted with permission from Tom Engelhardt’s Substack: I was almost six years old when the Korean War began and Korea was a mere 7,000 or so miles from Washington, D.C. I’m now 82 years old and my country is at war with Iran, whose capital, Tehran, is — phew! — only about 6,300 miles from […]

The First Amendment does not create that right; it prohibits the government from infringing upon it. The ability to think, speak, write, criticize, ridicule, persuade, offend, […]

Fatal Alliance: The Reality of the US-Israel Axis
To examine the unyielding multi-billionaire dollar shield that the United States provides Israel is to confront the coarse mechanics of modern empire. Washington has, for decades, maintained a posture of absolute defense, supplying advanced weaponry, providing diplomatic immunity, and rationalizing actions that human rights organizations and international courts characterize as war crimes, apartheid and genocide.

China to the Rescue? Why Only Beijing May Be Able To End the Iran War
Reprinted with permission from Trita Parsi’s Substack. If you’ve followed my interviews, you know I’ve been warning about the high likelihood of a third round of the war – one that would almost certainly be far more intense than the previous two.

9/11’s Aftereffect: The Constitutional Accountability Abyss
Over the last several weeks in the lead up to the 25th anniversary of al Qaeda’s attack on the U.S., I’ve had American and foreign journalists ask me the same question: how did 9/11 change America?

When War Comes Home: A Constitutional Warning
A failed war does not end when the drones stop flying. It creates a new danger: A government that refuses to admit defeat and a president who, having failed abroad, seeks muscular victories elsewhere.

Distorted Lenses: Ethical Failures in Reporting Israel’s War on Palestine
As Israel’s war on Gaza enters a grim third year, the prevailing narrative developed by mainstream Western media serves as a masterclass in institutional complicity; filtering genocide through a lens of manufactured neutrality. Since October 2025, when the so-called ceasefire – which Israel has repeatedly violated – began, the tragedy in Gaza has been effectively […]
