COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Sinking Mike Pompeo - Tucker Carlson, Assange And Trump

With the return of Trump to the White House, whose campaign was aided by various figures sympathetic to Assange’s publishing efforts, the eyes shifted, once again, to Pompeo. Would the now leaner figure make a return, probably as Defense Secretary? Not if Tucker Carlson could help it.

Binoy Kampmark: Suing Antony Blinken - The US State Department, Israel And The Leahy Law

The Leahy Law, as evidence of Congressional instruction to the State Department, is unequivocal in its purpose and scope regarding gross human rights violations. The time, it would seem, has come for those instructions to be applied to Israel without deferential favour.

Binoy Kampmark: Jesting On The Environment - Australian Mining Gets A Present

The Australia institute pointed out that the three mines, in the current state of operation, “were already so large that they could almost cover greater Sydney, or most Australian cities.” Research shows that when land sector emissions are removed from the modelling, Australia’s emissions are actually increasing.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: The Antithesis Of What Jesus Taught And Lived

Rather than face their own failings, mourn their loss and question why things went wrong, they declared that he died for our sins and started a religion that has ended in hate, power and greed, the antithesis of what Jesus taught and lived.

Ramzy Baroud: The West Bank's Men Of The CIA - Why Is The PA Killing Palestinians In Jenin?

By attacking Jenin, the PA is helping the Israeli army in more than one way: it is killing and detaining anti-Israeli occupation Resistance fighters, consuming the energy and resources of the Resistance, allowing Israel to spare thousands of soldiers so that they may carry on with the genocide in Gaza, and more.

Binoy Kampmark: Concentrated Markets And Iceless Fokkers

Monopolies, duopolies, oligopolies, clot the marketplace and stifle any genuine notion of business engagement, let alone the provision of good, accountable service. This is a nation that specialises in a cohering nightmare of mergers, agglomeration, and amalgamation, consolidating the establishment rather than permitting fresh blood.
