La prioridad debe ser poner a Bush, Blair y Cheney tras las rejas antes que Trump

Mientras criaturas del pantano como Cheney. Bush y Blair pueden dirigir nuestra mirada exclusivamente a Trump, su poder crece. Pueden seguir librando guerras, seguir robando recursos, seguir bombardeando a los niños y seguir enriqueciéndose.

The Priority Must Be To Put Bush, Blair and Cheney Behind Bars Before Trump

There is not much to thank Dick Cheney for. But perhaps he deserves credit for one thing: illustrating how effectively our political systems can rehabilitate even the most monstrous of moral monsters. Just watch this short clip that went viral on X (formerly Twitter), in which Cheney warns against the re-election of Donald Trump. Perhaps not

Por qué los medios no quieren saber la verdad sobre las explosiones de Nord Stream

Primero, los periodistas lamieron la culpabilidad rusa. Entonces, el interés se desvaneció. Ahora venden una absurda historia al estilo de James Bond. Cualquier cosa para ignorar el papel de Estados Unidos.

No one but the terminally naïve should be surprised that security services lie – and that they are all but certain to cover their tracks when they carry out operations that either violate domestic or international law or that would be near-universally rejected by their own populations. Which is reason enough why anyone following the fallout from

Cómo la izquierda se convirtió en animadora del imperialismo estadounidense

Figuras como George Monbiot de The Guardian han destruido la capacidad de la izquierda para pensar críticamente, alentando un análisis de la política de poder más adecuado para el campo de juego.

One of the biggest problems for the left, as it confronts what seems like humanity’s ever-more precarious relationship with the planet – from the climate emergency to a potential nuclear exchange – is that siren voices keep luring it towards the rocks of political confusion and self-harm. And one of the loudest sirens on the British left is the

¿Puede Europa permitirse el lujo de hacer la vista gorda ante la evidencia del papel de EE. UU. en las explosiones de oleoductos?

Si Washington estuviera involucrado, marcaría una nueva y peligrosa etapa no solo en la guerra de Ucrania sino también en la aceptación del estatus de vasallo por parte de Europa.

The sabotage of the two Nord Stream pipelines leaves Europeans certain to be much poorer and colder this winter, and was an act of international vandalism on an almost unimaginable scale. The attacks severed Russian gas supplies to Europe and caused the release of enormous quantities of methane gas, the prime offender in global warming. This is

How Britain’s Labour Party Became a Criminal Conspiracy Against its Members

For many years, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters have claimed that he, and they, were targeted in a coordinated attack from the right of the party, comprising a majority of Labour MPs as well as senior party staff. The aim was to sabotage Corbyn’s chances of taking power. Those allegations were dismissed as a wild conspiracy

La reina y su legado: la Gran Bretaña del siglo XXI nunca se vio tan medieval

Si el trabajo de la reina era renombrar el imperio como Commonwealth, transmutando la masacre de Mau Mau en medallas de oro para los corredores de larga distancia de Kenia, el trabajo de Charles será renombrar como Renovación Verde la marcha de la muerte liderada por las corporaciones transnacionales.

Anyone in the UK who imagined they lived in a representative democracy – one in which leaders are elected and accountable to the people – will be in for a rude awakening over the next days and weeks. TV schedules have been swept aside. Presenters must wear black and talk in hushed tones. Front pages are uniformly somber. Britain’s media speak

Aquellos enojados por el apuñalamiento de Rushdie han estado desaparecidos en acción por una amenaza mucho mayor a nuestra libertad

El novelista es defendido por los liberales occidentales no porque articule con valentía verdades difíciles, sino por quiénes son sus enemigos.

Rushdie Assange Feature photo

Nothing I am about to write should be read as diminishing in any way my sympathy for Salman Rushdie, or my outrage at the appalling attack on him. Those who more than 30 years ago put a fatwa on his head after he wrote the novel, “The Satanic Verses,” made this assault possible. They deserve contempt. I wish him a speedy recovery. But my natural
