The Release of Julian Assange: Plea Deals and Dark Legacies
June 26, 2024
One of the
longest sagas of political persecution is coming to its terminus. That is, if
you believe in final chapters. Nothing about the fate of Julian Assange seems
determinative.
His accusers and inquisitors will draw some delight at the plea
deal reached between the WikiLeaks founder’s legal team and the US Department
of Justice. Others, such as former US Vice President, Mike Pence, thought it
unjustifiably lenient.

The Treachery of the Nazi-Zionist Alliance
June 24, 2024
As uncomfortable
as it may be to many, Israel’s current apartheid policies took shape in the
lead up to the Holocaust when Nazi Germany and a small group of influential
Zionists formed an alliance to build their ethno-nationalist states.

International”) sent an address to Abraham Lincoln, congratulating “the

حکیم عمر خیّام نیشابوری
حکیم عمر خیّام نیشابوری در زمان خودش در واقع به این نام شهرت نداشته است! البته نامش عمر بود، ولی کنیهاش ابوالفتح و لقبش غیاثالدین بوده است. نام پدرش ابراهیم و با لقب خیّام یا خیّامی ثبت شده است، که چون خیّام به معنی کسی است که خیمه و یا چادر میسازد، احتمال دارد که این شغل پدرش بوده باشد. از تاریخ تولد و وفات او نیز اطلاع دقیقی در دست نیست. گویا در اوائل قرن پنجم هجری به دنیا آمده، و در اوائل قرن ششم، و یا تاریخی پیش از آن وفات یافته است.ا

The Eurosatory Controversy Begs the Question: Is an Ethical Arms Show Possible?
June 22, 2024
The term is
“banal militarism”—that is to say, violence and the preparation for violence so
utterly commonplace that most people don’t even notice. Banal militarism is as
American as apple pie. It’s also global in scope.

A Terribly Lopsided, Very Cruel War Continues
June 21, 2024
As I write this,
in the last 15 days, Israel has bombed a tent city and a UN school and has
killed 276 Palestinian non-combatants in a mid-day raid to gain the release of
four Israelis being held as hostages.

Nero’s Guests
June 19, 2024
Israel has been
poisoned by the psychosis of permanent war. It has been morally bankrupted by
the sanctification of victimhood, which it uses to justify an occupation that
is even more savage than that of apartheid South Africa.

The US List of Countries Allegedly Sponsors of Terrorism: Another Imperialistic Scam
June 19, 2024
In the US State
Department’s toolkit, unilateral coercive measures (UCMs) are used to
blackmail, bully and intimidate States that do not readily accept US hegemony.
Placing a country in the US list of countries sponsors for terrorism is
intended to lend some phony legitimacy to UCMs imposed against targeted States.
America's Notorious 'Cancer Alley' Is Even More Toxic Than We Thought
June 11, 2024
Since the 1980s,
the 85-mile stretch of the Mississippi River that connects New Orleans and
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has been known as “Cancer Alley.” The name stems from
the fact that the area’s residents have a 95% greater chance of developing
cancer than the average American. A big reason for this is the concentration of
industrial facilities along the corridor — particularly petrochemical
manufacturing plants, many of which emit ethylene oxide, an extremely potent
toxin that is considered a carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency
and has been linked to breast and lung cancers.
