The disease of concealment: An open letter to future historians
We are afflicted with what I would call the disease of silence. We are confronted with the results of decades of propaganda, and with the insidious power of language when it is cynically misused. We look, but we don't recognize it. We hear, but we don't listen. The effectiveness of propaganda is so great that most of us are not even aware of our complicity in the genocide of a people....

US Air drop to Gaza a cynical PR stunt
In the face of incontrovertible graphic evidence of Israel "Defense" Force using lethal force to cause over 100 Palestinian deaths, amidst a starving crowd that was trying desperately to get to aid supply trucks, the Biden administration was forced to belatedly organize a single plane flight to drop off 60 tons of aid supplies on a south Gaza beach....

US veto #5 at UN vote to protect Israel from global condemnation in genocidal war.
For the fifth time since the war between Israel and the ruling Hamas group in Gaza that started on October 7, the US has once again been the lone voice in sheltering the Israeli government from widespread global rebuke. While making a few milquetoast statements that "regret" the massive indiscriminate bombings and killings of 30,000+ unarmed civilians, the tone-deaf Biden regime(poll after poll show the American public wants a ceasefire in Gaza) has continued sending thousands of bombs, miss...

Civilian drone victims - from the frying pan into the fire?
In the war in Afghanistan, the majority of drone victims were civilians, 40% (around 1600) were children. In one case, a family of ten, one member worked as an interpreter for the US army: https://www.fr.de/politik/9-11-september-2001-drohnen-krieg-terror-afghanistan-al-kaida-bin-laden-fbi-90974084.html

American Media Keep Citing "Zaka" — Though Its October 7 Atrocity Stories Are Discredited
Given its prominence, Zaka has been scrutinized by the Israeli press but not the U.S. media. A blockbuster Haaretz report found after October 7, senior military leaders sidelined Israel Defense Forces soldiers specializing in recovering bodies and preserving evidence and sent in untrained Zaka volunteers instead. Zaka reportedly turned massacre sites into a “war room for donations,” used corpses as fundraising props, “spread accounts of atrocities that never happened,” and botched forensics t...

Joe Biden and the Gaza war
This Netanyahu, supported by the extremists in his cabinet and among his followers, disavows the US President at every opportunity. Recently, there have been repeated signs that he is not at all opposed to the idea of a "second Nakba" - a forced emigration of the Gaza population to Egypt and elsewhere. "Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must be demilitarized."...

Self-immolation Aaron Bushnell “indicator…of the profound change in consciousness in US"

The Indispensable Opponent
The West's hostility towards China has increased since China's engine began to stutter. At the same time, the US government is pumping massive amounts of money into the economy and has thus been able to prevent an impending recession for the time being, but is far from regaining its former role as a global engine of growth....

Christ among the rubble
"Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me." So said Jesus according to the Gospel. Now the people in Gaza are not to be underestimated. But from a Christian perspective, they are our brothers and sisters. So why are large parts of the "Christian West" not coming to their aid, not even raising a timid voice of protest?...

John Pilger warns of a new fascism
Democracy is now fictitious. There is the all-powerful business elite that has merged with the state and its claims to "identity". US admirals are paid thousands of dollars a day by Australian taxpayers for "advice". Across the West, our political imaginations have been soothed by PR and distracted from the machinations of corrupt politicians who can be had extremely cheaply....

The division of the world

Who defends Ukraine?
Who is actually defending Ukraine?
We are informed punctually and in detail about Russian war crimes, military mishaps and dodgy private armies such as the Wagner Group.
On the other hand, we regularly read reports on how "heroically and resourcefully Ukrainians are defending their country".

Ukraine is now a candidate for EU membership.
So a closer look at the structure of the army and comparable forces is certainly worthwhile. ...
