Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
In July, a few days after the centenary of Frantz Fanon’s birth, I had lunch with his daughter, Mireille Fanon Mendès-France. When I commented that Fanon had died so young, at thirty-nine, Mireille corrected me: ‘No, thirty-six’. Even three more years would have been a gift – to him because he might have been able to finish other work and spend more time with his family, and to us because we might have gotten the book that would have come after The Wretched of the Earth – perhaps one on how to construct a national project that would not succumb to the pitfalls of narrow nationalism. But that was not to be.

What follows is a revised and updated version of an essay from my 2020 book, Seeking Truth in a Country of Lies.
“The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid ‘dens of crime’ that Dickens loved to paint…But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.”
– C. S. Lewis, author’s preface, 1962, The Screwtape Letters

Nabil Anani (Palestine), In Pursuit of Utopia #1, 2020.As scholars dedicated to questions of justice and ethics we believe that Yvette Cooper’s recent proscription of Palestine Action represents an attack both on the entire pro-Palestine movement and on fundamental freedoms of expression, association, assembly, and protest. We deplore the repressive consequences that this ban has already had, and are especially concerned about the likely impact of Cooper’s ban on universities across the UK and beyond.

Israel is a genocidaire apartheid state silencing critics around the world through threats, intimidation, lawfare, and accusations of antisemitism to prevent facing justice through international law.

Clare Daly and Mick Wallace are former members of the European Parliament (MEPs), and critics of the “geopolitical” direction of the EU. The EU is losing its prosperity, security, political stability, freedoms and international relevance. Has the EU failed to adjust to a multipolar world?

President Ronald Reagan (R) and CPSU General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev (L) signed the INF Treaty, White House, Washington, August 12, 1987 The American Nobel laureate Pearl S. Buck handed down to the aspirant-Nobel American president Donald Trump a golden maxim but he seems oblivious of it — although his life is made of a surfeit of fiction. She wrote in her gripping historical novel The Living Reed: A Novel of Korea, “It is easy to destroy but hard to create. Remember that, when you want to destroy something.”

Dr. Gilbert Doctorow discusses why the trade agreement with the US will intensify the economic decline and de-industrialisation of Europe. Meanwhile, a decision has seemingly been made to replace Zelensky. Who he is replaced with will be a strong indicator of Washington’s plans to either extend or end its war in Ukraine.
Gilbert Doctorow’s new book “War Diaries. Volume 1: The Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2023” is now available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/War-Diaries-Russia-Ukraine-2022-2023/dp/B0F9VK1WM2

Sanctions kill. A new peer-reviewed study finds that US and EU sanctions cause over 560,000 deaths each year, a toll comparable to war. The most affected? Children under five. As their use skyrockets, experts urge world powers to rethink this silent weapon.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
Those who do not live in war zones or in suffocated countries are forced to live life as if there is nothing strange about what is happening around us. When we read about war, it is disconnected from our lives, and many of us want to stop listening to anything about the human misery caused by weapons or by sanctions. The scholasticism of the academic and the hushed tones of the diplomat are silenced as the bomb and the bank wage war against the planet. After authorising the atom bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima (Japan) on 6 August 1945, US President Harry S. Truman announced on the radio: ‘If [the Japanese] do not now accept our terms, they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth’.
