Nobody Called Anyone An Ignorant Slut
Nobody Called Anyone An Ignorant Slut Salvador Dalí The discovery of America by Christopher Columbus 1959Let’s get one thing straight: Donald Trump is as American as apple pie (even if both are imports). He’s brash and loud and abrasive and entirely focused on money, he’s given to exaggeration, he stretches the truth, he constantly seeks […]

America First is a Joke. Wall Street Wins Again
America First is a Joke. Wall Street Wins Again I know I must sound like a broken record by now, but Wall Street owns the U.S. economy and until that’s dealt with, the American public will continue to be preyed upon voraciously and lawlessly by some of the most unethical parasites the world has ever […]
Catalonia and other Disasters
Catalonia and other Disasters I’ve seen a lot of videos and photos of the Catalonia attempt to hold a referendum today (Tyler has a “nice” series of them), and what struck me most of all, apart from the senseless violence police forces were seen to engage in, is the lack of violence on the side […]
Left Behind
Left Behind Fan Ho The Evening of Life 1963“Forget Germany, Spain Is The Real Problem”, reads a headline. Eh… no. Germany is definitely the problem in Europe. Spain is a bit player. That doesn’t mean nothing major could happen in Spain in its fight with Catalonia, and soon, but Spain, like all EU nations, is […]
Patriotism, Flags and Referendums
Patriotism, Flags and Referendums Robert Frank London 1952-53‘Tis the jolly time of elections, referendums, flags and other democracy-related issues. They are all linked in some way or another, even if that’s not always obvious. Elections, in New Zealand and Germany this weekend, referendums in Catalonia and Kurdistan the coming week, a looming Party Congress in […]
Why Presidents Campaign on Peace but Rule by War
Why Presidents Campaign on Peace but Rule by War (ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — If the United States government continues as it does today, bestriding the narrow world like a colossus, it will be stabbed through the heart by daggers inscribed with the nation’s founding principles — the words “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” shedding salty tears of blood […]
America Can’t Afford to Rebuild
America Can’t Afford to Rebuild Adolphe Yvon Genius of America c1870A number of people have argued over the past few days that Hurricane Harvey will NOT boost the US housing market. As if any such argument would or should be required. Hurricane Irma will not provide any such boost either. News about the ‘resurrection’ of […]
Trump, the CIA and the Yokeldom
Trump, the CIA and the Yokeldom Jackson Pollock The Deep 1943 The western world is mired in a mile-deep political crisis and nary a soul seems to notice, or rather: everyone just sees their own little preferred echochamber tidbits of it. Which is not a good thing, because that crisis is bound to trigger […]
Feeding Frenzy in the Echo Chamber
Feeding Frenzy in the Echo Chamber Willem de Kooning Police Gazette 1955The best comment on the June 13 Jeff Sessions Senate testimony, and I’m sorry I forgot who made it, was that it looked like an episode of Seinfeld. A show about nothing. Still, an awful lot of voices tried to make it look like […]

Comey and the End of Conversation
Comey and the End of Conversation Ray K. Metzker Philadelphia 1962You might have thought, and hoped, that recent events, such as the election of Trump as president of the US, or Brexit, or the rise of Marine Le Pen and other non-establishment forces in Europe, would, as a matter of -natural- course, have led to […]
