The Compression
In 2022, a Stanford-trained physician who’d quit her surgical residency to start a continuous-glucose-monitor company was largely unknown outside Silicon Valley wellness circles. Her brother, a Harvard MBA who’d worked in food and pharma consulting, was less known than that.
By 2024, Casey and Calley Means had co-authored a bestselling book, advised a presidential campaign, helped flip RFK Jr. into Trump’s coalition, and become the public faces of “Make America Healthy Again.” In May 2025, Casey was nominated for Surgeon General. In April 2026, the nomination was withdrawn.
Two years from …
Mother’s Day? Necrophilia in the Nihilist Land of Chabad’s and Mitzvah’s and Menorah’s and Goyim are Oxen Talmud Factoids
Mother's Day is an Abomination in 2026 -- All Wars, All Sanctions, All Economic Hits are Blasphemies Against Mothers and their Children
Here’s a seeminly Jewish-inspired headline:
“Even the dead are not safe: Israelis force Palestinian family to exhume father’s body”
This is appalling and emblematic of the dehumanisation of Palestinians.
The Israelis said the grave was too close to the recently re-established settlement of Sa-Nur, near Jenin, which is located around 300 metres from the burial site in a long-standing cemetery on privately owned Palestinian land, and therefore had to go….
Now It Can be Told: Zionist Behavior Aligning with Behavior of Jews in Ancient History
The concepts that shaped the minds that eagerly approve of the genocide, buried in the Old Testament and in the history of independent Jewish governing, are targets for extinction, Zionist behavior today includes a messianic endeavor that complements the original political Zionism and aligns with behavior of Jews in ancient history. This is a significant change that demands revelation. Theodore Herzl’s incipient Zionism, promoted by secular Jews, brought havoc to the Middle East; the messianic attachment is creating havoc to the entire world.
No longer are Jews and their religion veiled from criticism; the protective shield of anti-Semitism has been lifted …
The War on Iran Will Likely End in American Retreat
The war against Iran that the United States and Israel launched on February 28, 2026, will likely end in an American retreat. The United States cannot continue the war without producing disastrous consequences. A renewed escalation would likely lead to the destruction of the region’s oil, gas, and desalination infrastructure, causing a prolonged global catastrophe. Iran can credibly impose costs that the United States cannot bear and that the world should not suffer.
The US-Israel war plan was a decapitation strike, sold to President Donald Trump by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and …
No Public Funds, Public Buildings, Or Public Services For Charter Schools
Keep Public Resources In Public Hands
The public-private distinction is one of the most crucial distinctions to have emerged in society over the past few centuries.
Each realm has distinct legal, economic, political, and cultural dimensions. For example, many spaces, activities, and lived experiences inhabit the private sphere (e.g., the home) while many others occupy the public sphere (e.g., broad social public debate).
Importantly, the public and private spheres should not be confounded or blurred, as so often happens. Each sphere has its own aims, structures, and functions. Public and private are actually antonyms.
A major problem today is that both concepts are routinely trivialized, distorted, or blurred by …
Canvas Didn’t Fail—It Did What It Was Designed to Do: Surveil, Extract, and Breach
“If any schools in the affected list are interested in preventing the release of their data, please consult with a cyber advisory firm and contact us privately at TOX to negotiate a settlement. You have till the end of the day by 12 May 2026 before everything is leaked. Instructure still has until EOD 12 May 2026 to contact us,” warned the hacking group ShinyHunters on May 7, 2026.
Days earlier, a catastrophic cyberattack struck the Canvas learning management system (LMS), operated by Instructure. The scale is staggering: nearly 8,000 schools were affected worldwide, compromising the data of 275 million individuals. Data …
‘Starmageddon’ – The Anti-Polanski Smear Campaign That Ate Itself
Historian Ian Kershaw titled the two volumes of his definitive biography of Adolf Hitler, ‘Hubris’ and ‘Nemesis’. (Allen Lane, 1998 and 2000)
Inevitably, it seems, great power comes with great hubris. For a brief, glorious moment, brick walls appear as doorways, and everything seems possible. Nemesis lies in wait.
Having taken just six weeks and one day to conquer all of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg in 1940, Hitler said of his plans to invade the Soviet Union the …
Caveat Canvas: ShinyHunters Hacks the Education Sector
They make you do it – they, in this case, being the folly-fouled leaders of educational institutions – because it’s all in the name of organizational efficiency, productivity, and purpose. Engage what is often erroneously called a Learning Management System (LMS), submitting personal details, papers, and assessments into its maw. Instructors and academics are also required to generate intellectual profiles for subjects and courses, leaving students with the false impression that what is not on the platform cannot possibly exist. Should you be a conscientious objector to this hungry, data-gobbling system, you are ostracised, condemned as a pencil-loving Luddite.
On April …
Could Trump’s Iran Fiasco Be America’s Suez Crisis?

Empires rise and fall. They do not last forever. Imperial declines follow a gradual shift in the economic tides but are also punctuated and defined by critical tipping points. There are many differences between the Suez Crisis in 1956 and the US war on Iran today, but similarities in the larger context suggest that the United States is facing the same kind …
Why Does Popular Disregard for ‘the World’s Most Urgent Problem(s)’ Persist?
In a recent article, Caitlin Johnstone condemns and bemoans Western popular disregard for the mass murders carried out in their names by the governments they elect.
Most readers of this journal would agree with her assertion that the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the US et al. in the last half century or so certainly constitute one of the world’s most pressing (and pronounced) problems.
Johnstone argues that these brazen crimes are much more important and urgent than the domestic policy issues (health, education, housing, and so on) that most ordinary citizens are preoccupied with.
Yet, perversely, despite the glaring categorical disparities, …
Ted Turner: The Devil Behind Cable News
Being very much the all-American figure that he was, Ted Turner’s passing was bound to enliven the cliché machine with the usual, clotted descriptions: the philanthropist, the conservationist, the yachtsman, the sporting proprietor, and the twenty-four-hour news pioneer. “He thought big and lived large,” observed Guardian US columnist Margaret Sullivan with irritating triteness. “He was the original,” added former CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour, barely an improvement. “He made us all strive for his vision of a better world.” No doubt the hagiographers will be kept busy with words of statuary on various aspects of his life in due course.
One contribution …
What World Will Trump Walk Into in Beijing?
As US President Trump arrives in Beijing, two different understandings of power and world order meet again
In 1405, the admiral Zheng He sailed from China with one of the largest fleets the world had ever seen.
Over the next three decades, the Ming treasure fleets crossed Southeast Asia, India, Arabia, and the East African coast. They carried silk, porcelain, medicines, imperial gifts, diplomats, astronomers, translators, and soldiers. Ports opened to them voluntarily. Local rulers entered tributary relations with the Ming dynasty. Some sent emissaries back to Beijing. Others received titles, seals, trade access, and recognition from the imperial court.
And then the fleets left.
No colonies remained behind them. No permanent military occupation followed. No East African coast became …
Empire Fighting: Counting the Ways of Doing It
MOSCOW — Once upon a time, in 2019, President Vladimir Putin declared that Russia and Israel make “a true common family; I can say this without exaggeration. Almost 2 million Russian speakers live in Israel. We consider Israel a Russian-speaking country…Without any exaggeration, I can say with pride that probably there has never been such a high level of relations between Russia and Israel, if, of course, we don’t go back to the very first months or maybe the first couple of years of …
Are Historical Arguments Against Segments of the Jewish Community Proving True?
Part one of a two-part article that compares the relation of earlier and contemporary populations with the Jewish community, and examines Zionist genocidal behavior with behavior of Jews in ancient history.
Close attachment of segments of the worldwide Jewish community to the genocidal behavior of Israel divides the followers of Judaism. From this division, it is expected many Jews will leave the religion, others will fight to establish a religion with anti-Zionist credentials, and some will propose a revised Reform Judaism that promotes humanism, openness, and obedience to the religion’s moral codes, rather than inhumanity, orthodoxy, and a lip service to the Ten Commandments.
In retaliation to the cruel, morally corrupt, and criminal behavior exhibited by the Zionists and their followers, a Jewish person on the Quora discussion website offered a disturbing …
Revolutionary Social Change That Lasts
Or, 21st Century Common Sense, #10 and Conclusion
It is not enough to be against Donald Trump and MAGA, or against the control of both major parties in the USA by destructive corporate power, or even to be committed to hard work for the next eight and a half [now 6] months here in the USA to defeat the billionaire-supporting, would-be dictator Donald Trump. Our problems are too deep to accept this essential next step as the ultimate goal. Short-term, essential goal yes, but looking at things historically, it can only be the first major step in a fundamental, revolutionary process that over time not just saves the …
The Age of Water Exposes a Major Water Crisis in Rural Mexico
A stunning, unassuming documentary about one of the most urgent, and most invisible forms of extractivism.
— Ilka Kressner, Assoc. Prof. of Hispanic Studies, Chair of Languages, Literatures & Cultures, University at Albany-SUNY
In Mexico’s heartland, the community of La Cantera is mourning the deaths of three girls from leukemia, all in the span of a year. Elia, the local kindergarten teacher, and Nely, a mother who nearly lost her newborn, form MAYOYE, a group of women seeking an investigation. They’re met with resistance from government officials denying an underlying …
2 Anti-Racist Jews Facing 2 Years Imprisonment in Queensland
Big Brother in Orwell’s 1984: “and ignorance is strength” and “2 plus 2 does not equal 4” as now realized in US- and Zionist-perverted Australia:
(1) Australia was involved in all post-WW2 US Asian wars (40 million Asian deaths from violence and deprivation) and supported the 9/11-enabled and Zionist-promoted devastation of 7 Muslim countries (as set out in the Pentagon Plan revealed by anti-racist Jewish presidential candidate and top US general Wesley Clark in Winning Modern Wars; the post-9/11 War on Muslims was associated with 30 million Muslim deaths). …
The Age of Human Arrogance, Part VIII
The Small Communities That Keep Humanity Alive
There are moments in history when nations falter, when institutions lose their moral center, when leaders mistake ambition for wisdom. Yet humanity has never endured because of empires. It has endured because of small communities — the quiet circles of people who choose compassion over convenience, presence over performance, and responsibility over applause. They do not appear in headlines. They do not command armies or draft policies. They do not seek recognition. Yet they form the hidden architecture of human survival. They are the places where dignity is restored, where conscience is protected, where the soul remembers what it means …
The Culprit of the Attack on the Transition Government in Mali ant the AES is NATO Imperialism
The Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) condemns the imperialist-backed terrorist and separatist attacks against the Transition Government of Mali on April 25, 2026. This was a major attack that terrorized the population in several towns, resulting in casualties, among whom the minister of defense, General Sadio Camara, his wife, and grandchildren were killed. The Black Alliance for Peace offers our condolences to the family and comrades in the Malian transition government, as well as the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).
Consistent with our principles, BAP stands in unity with all anti-imperialist fighting …
Can Cities and Towns and Rural Environs Balance the Needs of Families, Kiddos, Economics, Energy, Culture, & the ecologies of an area with CAPITALISM’s DRIVE for Unfettered Profits, Growth?
Land use — rural, neighborhood, transportation, scenic by-ways, tribal, parks and bikes, new urbanism, smart growth wise use, conciliatory, radical, historic neighborhoods . . .
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
— T. S. Eliot, “Little Gidding”
For Woman the Creator
Human beings often search for meaning in distant philosophies, institutions, or ideologies, but the truth is far more immediate: what confronts us, what resists us, and what shapes our condition is what ultimately defines us. And nothing shapes the human condition more profoundly than the woman who brings humanity into existence. She is not a symbol to be admired from a distance, nor an accessory to the historical record. She is the creator of the species, the first architect of human survival, and the most exploited force in every civilization that …
AI Is Already Going Rogue
Wreaking Havoc Because It Feels Like It
Imagine there was a new country filled with people who had far more information/knowledge than any of our own citizens have — including our super-smart leaders and rulers. They knew every military strategy and plan ever attempted. These people never slept, ate, rested, or got distracted. They worked 24/7. They never even paused to scratch their nether regions. In fact, they had no nether regions.
They also had no morals or ethics or qualms about harming others. They possessed no care for humanity or the environment or a sustainable future. …
US Continues to Blow Up Small Boats
Militarism Normalized in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific
Artisanal fishers collective, La Guaira, Venezuela
A US military strike on May 4 killed two mariners in an alleged “narco boat” campaign which now has a cumulative death toll of at least 188. The pace of extrajudicial executions is ramping up, according to The Guardian. But why?
The serial murders could be, as the Trump administration claims, a genuine counter-narcotics operation. Or Mr. Trump and company may be conducting a demonstration exercise of executive power. Alternatively, the “kinetic strikes” may reflect more domestic concerns or perhaps foreign policy issues. Another possibility …
100th birthday of Biosphere’s David Attenborough
8 May is the 100th birthday of Biosphere champion David Attenborough and also the 81st anniversary of VE Day (victory over genocidal Nazi Germany). It’s germane to consider the present and adumbrated destruction of species and of humans.
Famed scientist Stephen Hawking succinctly stated (2018): “We see great peril if governments and societies do not take action now to render nuclear weapons obsolete and to prevent further climate change”.
However in the last 2.5 years an out-of-control nuclear power Apartheid Israel (90 nuclear weapons) has bombed 6 countries (Qatar, Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria …
Not Just an Ally: Radical Feminism for Men
When I was invited to write a chapter on men in feminism for a scholarly book, I told the editors that I would have to include discussion of my writing on the radical feminist critiques of pornography and transgender ideology, which are controversial subjects in academic feminism. They assured me that wouldn’t be a problem, but I submitted a draft early because I’ve had editors reject such writing at the last minute. Their response did not surprise me: “The editorial team has met and decided the article does not fit with our mission for the book.”
Rather than abandon the project, …
Why Hate Cuba? Especially Its Medical Practices
An assault on Cuba needs excuses for hating it. But given that any exchanges between the US and Cuba has been blocked out of the news for decades, it’s a bit difficult for a lot of folks to figure out why they are supposed to hate it and starve the people there. Let’s look through the eyes of those who promote an attack to find the real reasons.
Going back to Cuba’s 1959 revolution we can see that it occurred during the cold war anti-communist hysteria of the McCarthy era which permeated …
Two Centuries of U.S. Contempt for Cuba
I do believe I’ll be . . . having the honor of taking Cuba.
— Donald Trump
Donald Trump tightened already suffocating sanctions on Cuba on May 1, at the same time as he made renewed threats to “take” the island as soon as he finishes committing the greatest foreign policy blunder in U.S. history in Iran. The new measure to heap further unmerited suffering on Cubans was justified on the laughable pretext that their government poses an extraordinary national security threat to the United States, which, if it were true, would constitute an equally extraordinary confession of military impotence on the …
Cursor, SpaceX, and Pakistan’s Brain Drain
The Young Man from Karachi and the $60 Billion Deal
Pakistan raised a world-class mind. Silicon Valley cashed the cheque.
In the spring of 2026, a deal came out of California that stopped people mid-scroll. On April 21, SpaceX announced it had secured the right to buy Anysphere, the company behind the AI coding tool Cursor, for $60 billion before the year was out. If SpaceX changes its mind, it still hands over $10 billion as a collaboration fee. Either way, the founders of Cursor walk away rich. One of those founders is Sualeh Asif, 26 years old, …
