Israeli military aggression has “reshaped both the physical and ecological landscape” of southern Lebanon, according to the Lebanese report (which does not consider the impacts of Israel’s latest barrage of attacks this spring). In her foreword, Lebanon’s minister for the environment Tamara el Zein notes: “The scale and intentionality of the damage to forests, agricultural […]
The very first story on the Drudge Report on both April 23 and 24 was headlined with a quote from Bernard Arnault saying if the Iran war was not quickly settled, it could be a “world catastrophe.” I apparently do not keep up with world business as much as I should, because I did not […]
We noted in Part 1 that when confronted with the failure of 44 days of bombing Iran “back-to-the-stone-age”and, also, thankfully, being reluctant to send American boots into a Gallipoli-scale slaughter on the ground, the Donald turned to his goofy Secy of Treasury for a 4-D chess move. To wit, a blockade of the Gulf of […]
For decades, two irreconcilable narratives about Israel and its motivations have existed in parallel. On the one side, an official western narrative portrays a plucky, besieged “Jewish” state of Israel, desperate to make peace with its hostile Arab neighbors. Even to this day, that story dominates the political, media and academic landscape. Time and again, […]
Mass deception is a cornerstone of the state’s ability to maintain total control. One of the main methods used by government to convince the population of their legitimacy is the tool of propaganda. This is nothing new, and states throughout the world have engaged in this practice for all of human history. What is new, […]
On April 21, 2026, Japan’s Cabinet officially scrapped decades-old restrictions on the export of lethal defense equipment. This decision by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi marks the definitive end of the 1967-era “Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment,” effectively dismantling the final legal barriers of postwar pacifism. This is more than a policy tweak; it […]
The European Union is the “chief of all cowards,” Amnesty International declared in a searing statement issued on April 21. The condemnation was a direct response to the European bloc’s systemic failure to sever ties with Israel during the Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Luxembourg. Despite months of legal warnings, the EU once again prioritized […]
As yet another day of Trumpian madness unfolds, we are not sure who wins the Doofus of the Day award – the Donald, again, or his unhinged Secy of the Treasury. As it happens, the latter was apparently making a run for the money earlier this morning with this doozy: US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent […]
It’s getting pretty hard to tell who is more delusional: The Donald or the noisy boy band of school-yard incompetents that surround him. Either way, it’s not surprising that Trump posted this missive earlier today. He apparently actually thinks that his cockamamie Iranian War, which is on the edge of stalemate or actually being lost, […]
I want to tell you a story that most Americans have never been told. Not because the information is hidden. Because no one has connected the dots in a way that makes the consequences visible. It is a story about trust. About prosperity. About what happens when a country trusts the United States. And about […]
