- Tara Reade: Why exactly are Trump’s records from January fair game but Biden’s decades-old Senate files not?
The University of Delaware is refusing to release Biden's Senate records which were donated in 2012. Meanwhile, the Trump White House's communications apparently can be released to the January 6 commission. I find this...curious. - Why it’s all too easy to cross the very thin line between cultural appreciation and appropriationThe fact that people still don’t really understand cultural appropriation – or fully appreciate the offence it causes – is concerning. But whether it’s down to a show of misguided respect or ignorance, it seems to be on the rise.
- Congress is investigating CIA plans to kidnap & kill Julian Assange – but don't hold your breath for the truth coming outThe US Congressional Intelligence Committee is probing the Central Intelligence Agency’s plot to kidnap and potentially assassinate WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange when he was confined in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
- ‘Germany is your friend now’: Outgoing US ambassador insults Serbia at memorial for schoolboys executed by NazisSeeking to honor schoolboys and other Serbian civilians murdered in a mass execution by Germans in 1941, the US ambassador in Belgrade spoke about progress towards a peaceful, united Europe – just like the Nazis did back then.

- America’s failed weapons test shows Washington is currently hopelessly outgunned by Beijing in the race for hypersonic supremacyThe recent test failure of America’s cutting-edge hypersonic missile system is worse than they're letting on. The US weapon, while technologically impressive, is impractical and virtually useless on a modern battlefield.

- Lee Camp: The four layers of reality – and why we’re only allowed to talk about oneThere are at least four different aspects of our daily American lives that affect everything from how we think to where we live – not that anyone in corporate media would tell you so.
- As the European Parliament threatens to sue the European Commission, it’s clear the EU is ripping itself apart over PolandThe repercussions over Poland’s unwillingness to adhere to European law are increasing by the day, with the EU leaders divided and its institutions at war. However the situation is resolved, it’s proving very damaging to the bloc.
- China is making moves to isolate Australia in its own backyardIn the wake of the AUKUS deal, Beijing’s hosting of a summit involving many tiny Pacific countries is significant. It illustrates how China is ready to challenge the traditional supremacy of Australia and the US in the region.
- Priti Patel’s idea of fast-tracking BAME police officers to top jobs will only demoralise an already browbeaten forceThe Home Secretary has given the boys in blue another kicking, criticising their failure to recruit Black and Ethnic Minority people or promote them to the top of the organisation. This virtue signalling is daft and dangerous.
- Why is Colin Powell venerated by liberals despite the fact he’s a war criminal? Because he was rude about Trump, of courseEstablishment Democrats are perfectly happy to lavish praise on war-mongering Republicans just because they criticised Trump. Why is this? Because, though he did nothing about it, Trump questioned the military-industrial complex.
- Israel is picking so many fights on multiple fronts that several wars could break out at any time. Meanwhile, the US stays silentTensions are at boiling point with Palestinians again, while spats have broken out with Hezbollah in Lebanon, Ansarullah in Yemen, and the Algerian and Syrian governments. Are the Israelis deliberately seeking conflict?
- ‘It’s absolutely appalling’: Unvaccinated Canadians become social outcasts and the new persecuted minorityIn Canada, the supposedly benevolent country that prides itself on inclusivity, Covid totalitarianism has become unavoidably apparent, with its decision that soon only the fully vaccinated can travel.
- ‘Let’s go Brandon’ is more than just a funny anti-Biden meme. It empowers Americans against the ‘fact-checkers’ and censorsIn an age when it has become risky business for people to speak their minds, along comes an ingenious meme that sends the desired message without fear of reprisal. In fact, ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ just might be Joe Biden’s swan song.
- Billionaire Pierre Omidyar’s secret backing of Facebook ‘whistleblower’ raises new questions about her agendaThe plot has thickened further in the case of Frances Haugen, with the revelation she is being funded by Pierre Omidyar. Given his history of backing of US-friendly organisations abroad, it’s hard not to question her motives.
- Why doesn’t Amnesty International care that I’m a victim of oppressive pandemic policies if I’m not in Russia or China?Finally, the cavalry has arrived… or has it? Amnesty has spoken in support of liberty amid sanitary authoritarianism – but it’s Moscow and Beijing in the firing line, and there’s no recognition of what’s going on in the West.
- Facebook has ruined human social interaction and now Zuckerberg’s ‘metaverse’ wants to destroy whatever’s leftHaving bulldozed most real-life relationships already, Mark Zuckerberg is now moving to strip away what’s left of our expectations of privacy by dragging us kicking and screaming into an online padded cell called the ‘metaverse’.
- China moves onto USA’s doorstep by signing up Cuba to Belt & Road. Will it cause a standoff like the 1962 missile crisis?As the United States ratchets up its support for Taiwan as a regional chess piece against China, Beijing may also be positioning Havana as a counterweight. The move is sure to enrage Washington.
- Burger off, BoJo! Trying to persuade Brits to stop eating meat to ward off climate change is political suicideUK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has increasingly been embracing green policies, but the suggestion that Brits are to be pushed towards going veggie by heavy taxing of meat is a ridiculous – and dangerous – step too far.
- Think rocketing inflation is bad now? We’re facing a catastrophe that will make the Great Depression look like a walk in the parkWestern politicians and central bankers are quick to offer explanations for rapidly rising prices – from bottlenecks in supply chains to their favorite bogeyman, Vladimir Putin. They don't dare mention the real cause: themselves.
- Santa Bezos? Amazon is offering £3,000 to get people to work for them over Xmas – this isn't festive altruism, it’s a power grabAmazon handing ‘golden hellos’ to get people to work in their warehouses over Christmas is not ‘a victory for the workers’ – it is a bribe from Jeff Bezos to help him tighten his stranglehold on the market.
- Galloway: New papers reveal UK’s role in the slaughter of 3mn Indonesians. How do I explain this to my half-Indonesian children?Newly-released documents paint a picture of Britain as a fading imperial power in the 1960s, but one still capable of wreaking deadly vengeance on those who were perceived as threatening its ‘interests.’
- Wayne Dupree: The US is starting to resemble a failed socialist state, and those who voted for Biden are to blameEmpty shelves, rising prices, people not working… America is in crisis and it’s only going to get worse under Joe Biden and the Dems. It’s clear that we, the people, will have to come up with solutions for ourselves.
