It ought to be readily apparent to every analyst by now that both Trump and Netanyahu have created their own Gordian Knot; and one that cannot be resolved with the “slicing through of Alexander the Great’s sword”. Which is exactly what both of those war criminals and genocidal maniacs would…
War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of…
We are entering a period in which multiple systemic crises intersect rather than unfolding one by one, and the usual crisis jargon falls short. Overlapping conflicts, tight energy markets, deteriorating social contracts, national debts leaving little room for maneuver, and an agricultural sector teetering on the brink of a perfect…
If globalism won’t stop killing citizens, citizens will be forced to kill globalism. Consider these recent news stories from Europe and North America: (1) Germany’s government is considering a new law that would allow its spy agency to investigate and block citizens from buying homes if the…

As I pointed out in my last article, someone in the Trump administration who has been briefed on Trump’s upcoming statements about the war in Iran made a financial killing yesterday. This is part of a continuing pattern of deliberate deception by Trump, i.e., pretending there is great progress…
Although the Iran war largely has been viewed through the lens of conventional western warfare, its lessons are anything but conventional. They are in fact insurrectionary. The post-war western approach (especially in the Cold War context) relied on the ability to outspend any military adversary through the acquisition of high-end, over-engineered…
