«Mit Brigitte Bardot verschied eine starke und unabhängige Frau, die es nicht nötig hatte, sich dem Zeitgeist unterzuordnen oder sich gar – wie leider viele deutsche Prominente – zur Systemnutte machen zu lassen, und die solches auch in der Not nicht getan hätte. Die einfach zu sich stand und standhaft war. Ein schönes Zitat von ihr als Abschluss: ‹Früher habe ich mit meinem Hintern schockiert, jetzt schockiere ich mit meinen Büchern (Meinungen). Das ist das Gleiche!›» (– Nachruf der Seite https://publikum.net/).

Congressional Republicans Must Stand Up to the President on Venezuela!
I recall when then-President Barack Obama was planning to send troops to enforce his “Assad must go” policy in Syria, many Republican US Senators passionately argued that the US President must come to Congress for approval before sending US troops into combat overseas. At the time, they portrayed themselves as brave defenders of the US […]

It’s also a veteran’s hangout. Every day when the park opens they honor all the veterans. We line up, march […]

Will the Taiwan Issue Stay Quiet During Trump’s Term?

What You Won’t Read About Ukraine in Your Newspaper
There is much of significance happening in Ukraine right now that is being reported either lightly or not at all by the mainstream Western media in an apparent attempt to harmonize their reporting with Kiev’s narrative in order to keep hope high and economic and military support flowing.

America’s ‘Ceausescu Moment’
Revolutions are funny things. They start out almost imperceptible. The final straw itself may be as inconsequential as a single voice in the crowd whose words unleash a tidal wave that sweeps aside the seemingly intractable old order forever. Even as the cracks in the Eastern Bloc began to materialize in 1989, starting in June […]

Russia Can ‘Mirror’ in Venezuela What West Is Doing in Ukraine
When regional relations Iran and Syria called on Russia to help defend them against attacks by America, Israel, and a swarm of former ISIS militants, they received no answer. Analysts at the time said, and the President of Ukraine in fact celebrated, that it was because of Russia’s war in eastern Ukraine that assistance could […]

Washington’s Double Standard on Terrorism Betrays the Spirit of Liberty
The U.S. government says its “war on terror” protects freedom. In practice, every new intervention narrows the perimeter of freedom at home. The language of confronting evil abroad has become a cover for expanding state power, channeling public money to defense contractors, and normalizing surveillance that would have been unthinkable a generation ago. The pattern […]

Venezuela’s Oil, US-Led Regime Change, and America’s Gangster Politics
The United States is dusting off its old regime-change playbook in Venezuela. Although the slogan has shifted from “restoring democracy” to “fighting narco-terrorists,” the objective remains the same, which is control of Venezuela’s oil. The methods followed by the US are familiar: sanctions that strangle the economy, threats of force, and a $50 million bounty […]

Islam in America: Sanctioned Intolerance and Indifference
When prejudice targets Black, Jewish, or Latino communities, Americans respond with collective outrage. But bigotry against Muslims? It’s far less taboo and routinely brushed aside – even openly condoned in certain circles. Islamophobia isn’t fringe; it’s woven into the fabric of American society and etched into its national identity. With few avenues for recourse, millions […]

The Nobel Committee Should Revoke Venezuelan Warmonger’s 2025 Nobel Peace Prize
War is the opposite of peace. When the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner, María Corina Machado, calls for the United States to take military action against Venezuela, we should ask the question: does someone who calls for war deserve such a prize? The answer should be self-evident. However, the Nobel Committee has a different view. […]
