When will we finally end the party of the arms companies?
The people, however, want the opposite. They are afraid of war. They want peace and civil conflict resolution. They want social welfare and a decent standard of living.That is what politics should focus on. Unfortunately, in the current hysterical mood, there are only a few who have the courage to be pilloried as "party crashers", pro-Putin, pro-Hamas, pro-Mullah and other autocrats...

The Vertical Cyclone Effect in the Atmosphere and Global Warming
We have a system: the warm surface of the Earth, the blanket of the Earth's atmosphere and the endless vastness of the refrigerator of space. If an ancient giant came and stood here and used some huge crank to turn this system vertically, then in the place where the giant worked, the Earth's surface would cool down and its heat would escape into the space....

Congress confuses Ukraine with Sudetenland!
On Saturday, the US House overwhelmingly passed A $95 Billion bill to fund much more violence in Ukraine and Israel (and including some $8 Billion to ramp up military tensions on China). In explaining support for their militant vote, many GOP reps dredged up an absurd analogy to Hitler's taking over Sudetenland in 1938, to justify their support for military aid to Ukraine....

The peace teaching of Jesus of Nazareth is thrown to the wind
Jesus, the Christ, taught love of God and neighbor, nothing else, but this has to be learned. But if not even the clear teaching of peace of Jesus of Nazareth in the biblical Gospels is taken seriously and followed by Bible believers, then we can conclude that the Bible mix has caused enough mischief for long enough....

The sun is setting in the West
The West's misjudgement also applies to the course of the war, where the Russian army is advancing again after the failed counter-offensive in Ukraine. There is a shortage of weapons, ammunition and soldiers. The strategy of wearing down the West seems to be working. In the US, the Biden administration is already encountering difficulties in mobilizing further war credits....

We don't have to be enemies
We demand a ceasefire. The release of the hostages. An end to the military occupation of Palestine. We stand side by side with our Palestinian friends.There is no alternative to peace in Israel and Palestine. Not for Jews, not for Palestinians and not for the other people who live there. This is not naïve, but realistic and pragmatic. It is not radical, but the only option to end the suffering...

On the Ukraine war: "The end result will be a frozen conflict"
The West, primarily the USA, will not accept a final peace agreement in which Russia retains a substantial part of Ukrainian territory. Even if it is a frozen conflict, the West and the Ukrainians will go to great lengths to subtly undermine Russia's position in the areas of Ukraine it has conquered. The Russians will go to great lengths to ensure that the Ukrainian rump state remains weak....

A Philosopher's Critique
Because the declining middle classes are unable to see past individualism and economic self-interest, they stick with the fantasy that any loss of purchasing power is a temporary glitch awaiting systemic resolution – as if Capital were an eternal and inexhaustible mode of wealth creation....

All people are reporters. On media use in the Internet age
What is missing in the mainstream media landscape are background reports, essays, longer interviews, travel reports and what is called "investigative journalism". What is perhaps boring are ideology-critical internal debates about the right line, i.e. hermetic, exclusionary language. Many people know that Marxian political economy is back in fashion. But it needs an update....

Words on war and peace
"Every cannon that is built, every warship that is launched, every missile that is fired is ultimately a theft from those who are hungry and have nothing to eat, those who are cold and have no clothes. A world under arms not only squanders money. It also squanders the sweat of its workers, the spirit of its scientists and the hope of its children." (45) former President Dwight D. Eisenhower...

USA delivered a pre-emptive strike to Russia prior to the terror attack on Moscow
The White house said it sent Moscow a "warning" prior to the massacre at Crocus concert hall last week. However, it appears the message was a non-specific, boiler-plate that contained no actionable intelligence. Thus, the useless alert could only serve a diversionary tactic; indeed, only as a "pre-emptive" informational warfare strike designed solely for the purpose of "plausible deniability" for the USA...

Why anti-fascism?
Capitalism is not in a position to solve the social and ecological crisis that it is causing. An open-ended transformation of the system is inevitable, and a struggle for transformation will be waged – especially against the fascist threat. Conscious reflection on the systemic crisis is the best antidote to the conspiratorial crisis...
