La priorité doit être de mettre Bush, Blair et Cheney derrière les barreaux avant Trump

Tant que les créatures des marais comme Cheney. Bush et Blair peuvent diriger notre regard exclusivement vers Trump, ils gagnent en puissance. Ils peuvent continuer à mener des guerres, à voler des ressources, à bombarder des enfants – et à s’enrichir.

The Priority Must Be To Put Bush, Blair and Cheney Behind Bars Before Trump

There is not much to thank Dick Cheney for. But perhaps he deserves credit for one thing: illustrating how effectively our political systems can rehabilitate even the most monstrous of moral monsters. Just watch this short clip that went viral on X (formerly Twitter), in which Cheney warns against the re-election of Donald Trump. Perhaps not

Pourquoi les médias ne veulent pas connaître la vérité sur les explosions du Nord Stream

D'abord, les journalistes ont avalé la culpabilité russe. Ensuite, l'intérêt s'est estompé. Maintenant, ils colportent une histoire absurde à la James Bond. N'importe quoi pour ignorer le rôle des États-Unis.

No one but the terminally naïve should be surprised that security services lie – and that they are all but certain to cover their tracks when they carry out operations that either violate domestic or international law or that would be near-universally rejected by their own populations. Which is reason enough why anyone following the fallout from

Comment la gauche est devenue la pom-pom girl de l'impérialisme américain

Des figures de proue comme George Monbiot du Guardian ont détruit la capacité de la gauche à penser de manière critique, encourageant une analyse de la politique du pouvoir plus adaptée au terrain de jeu.

One of the biggest problems for the left, as it confronts what seems like humanity’s ever-more precarious relationship with the planet – from the climate emergency to a potential nuclear exchange – is that siren voices keep luring it towards the rocks of political confusion and self-harm. And one of the loudest sirens on the British left is the

L'Europe peut-elle se permettre de fermer les yeux sur les preuves d'un rôle américain dans les explosions de pipelines ?

Si Washington était impliqué, cela marquerait une nouvelle étape dangereuse non seulement dans la guerre d'Ukraine mais dans l'acceptation par l'Europe du statut de vassal.

The sabotage of the two Nord Stream pipelines leaves Europeans certain to be much poorer and colder this winter, and was an act of international vandalism on an almost unimaginable scale. The attacks severed Russian gas supplies to Europe and caused the release of enormous quantities of methane gas, the prime offender in global warming. This is

How Britain’s Labour Party Became a Criminal Conspiracy Against its Members

For many years, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters have claimed that he, and they, were targeted in a coordinated attack from the right of the party, comprising a majority of Labour MPs as well as senior party staff. The aim was to sabotage Corbyn’s chances of taking power. Those allegations were dismissed as a wild conspiracy

The Queen and Her Legacy:  21st Century Britain Has Never Looked So Medieval

If the Queen’s job was to rebrand the empire as Commonwealth, transmuting the Mau Mau massacre into gold medals for Kenyan long-distance runners, Charles’ job will be to rebrand as a Green Renewal the death march led by transnational corporations.

Anyone in the UK who imagined they lived in a representative democracy – one in which leaders are elected and accountable to the people – will be in for a rude awakening over the next days and weeks. TV schedules have been swept aside. Presenters must wear black and talk in hushed tones. Front pages are uniformly somber. Britain’s media speak

Those Angry at Rushdie’s Stabbing Have Been Missing In Action Over a Far Bigger Threat to our Freedom

The novelist is championed by western liberals not because he’s bravely articulated difficult truths but because of who his enemies are.

Rushdie Assange Feature photo

Nothing I am about to write should be read as diminishing in any way my sympathy for Salman Rushdie, or my outrage at the appalling attack on him. Those who more than 30 years ago put a fatwa on his head after he wrote the novel, “The Satanic Verses,” made this assault possible. They deserve contempt. I wish him a speedy recovery. But my natural
