Our Rulers Have All The Power And None Of The Responsibility
As the world burns, as ecosystems die off, as the insects vanish, as the forests disappear, as soil becomes rapidly less fertile, as extinction takes over, as the oceans gasp for air and become lifeless deserts while continents of plastic form in their waters, it is interesting how often you hear the sentiment that this is the result of some flaw in humanity for which we all share… Continue reading

China opens the SCO pathway to Kabul, India should go along
The untimely remarks by External Affairs Minister S.

A very important meeting took place in Moscow last week, virtually hush-hush.

The assassination of Jovenel Moïse
Backed by Washington and Ottawa, Moïse appears to have been killed by elements within his own violent PHTK political party.

Police controlled the road to his house yet this video… Continue reading

How Not to Cover Critical Race Theory
After working the right up into a lather over Black Lives Matter (FAIR.org, 5/27/21), Fox News and its conservative media allies have turned white rage onto a more actionable target: critical race theory.
