‘The Commune and Popular Sovereignty in Times of Imperialist Siege’. Also: ‘Rats and Bananas: Western Media, Violence, and Freedom in Venezuela’: The Western media often portrays Venezuela through crude stereotypes, selective outrage, and sensational narratives while ignoring the daily realities, resilience, and democratic agency of ordinary Venezuelans.
‘Imperialism’s Attack on Third World Sovereignty’: Amid the US-Israel attack on Iran, Marco Rubio articulated re-colonialisation as an imperial strategy for revival of the glory of ‘Western Civilisation’. Also: ‘Imperialism, Oil Prices and the World Economy’.
‘“A Moral Obscenity”: Trump Budget Pairs Record Military Boost with Billions in Cuts to Social Programs’; ‘“Wow, He Actually Admitted It”: Trump Says U.S. Can’t Pay for Childcare Because it’s “Fighting Wars” Instead’.
History tells us one thing: when we wage unjust wars that terrorize distant populations in far-off lands, the violence rarely remains confined there. Sooner or later, in one form or another, it returns. Violence begets violence, and imperial war has a way of boomeranging back upon those who initiate it.
‘The U.S. Killing Machine’: When the U.S. goes to war, it goes to win – and to win, it kills and kills. Also: ‘US War Machine Is Built on Decades of Lies. The Assault on Iran Is No Exception’: Trump’s endless falsehoods about the Iran war build on a long history of US military mythmaking.
The world is being sold the same “human rights” pretext for the assault on Iran that left Libya in ruins fifteen years ago.
‘From Palestine to Iran: What Arab and Muslim Silence Really Reveals’: The overriding priority of the Arab regimes is the preservation of the regional status quo, whatever the human cost. And if maintaining that order requires the slow destruction of Palestine, many of them have already demonstrated that they are willing to pay that price. Also: ‘The Fragility of Gulf States’.
‘The American Gulag 2026’; ‘Trump’s Concentration Camps Are Not New to the U.S.’; ‘Mass Incarceration Arose Out of Empire Building Across North America, Carribean and Pacific’: The United States today has by far the world’s largest incarceration rate, with nearly two million people living in prisons and jails.
Bulgarians will go to the polls for the eighth time in five years later this month, after a massive wave of protests brought down Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov’s right-wing coalition at the end of last year.
Ketcham argues that ‘Our World in Data’, the influential Oxford-based statistics platform founded by Max Roser, presents an overly optimistic narrative of human progress that downplays ecological collapse, inequality, and the destructive costs of global capitalism.
