offsite link Dictator Trump? That?s Just Silly Wed Feb 26, 2025 19:05 | Dr James Allan
Calling Trump a dictator is just silly, says Prof James Allan. Yes, he's bombastic. But he's been elected to secure the border and drain the swamp. And he is the President, in whom all executive authority resides.

Hamid Dabashi, Professor of Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature at Columbia University in New York writes on Hillary Clintons outburst regarding Iran in the 8 may issue of al-Ahram.

Hamid writes: The only legitimate manner in which the Islamic Republic can be prevented from becoming a nuclear power is by ensuring that all the other nuclear powers in its neighbourhood engage in regional disarmament, first and foremost the mirror image of the Islamic Republic, the Jewish apartheid state of Israel. The latter is fully supported and sustained by the American Christian Empire, and will be after Senator Golda Clinton Meir possibly becomes its Commander-in-Chief.

Pauline Campbell, who was found dead yesterday morning, put the deaths of women in prison on the map. A formidable and tireless campaigner, she had personal experience of deaths in custody. Just over five years ago, her much-loved daughter Sarah, 18, died of a drug overdose at Styal prison. Campbell's body was discovered close to her daughter's grave in Oakhills cemetery in Malpas, Cheshire. As we went to press, it was not clear whether she had killed herself or died of other causes, but it looks bleak. read full story / add a comment

Speaking at the graves of the leaders of the Easter Rising on Saturday (May 10), éirígí chairperson Brian Leeson called for an honest assessment of the state of radical politics in modern-day Ireland.

“Radical, revolutionary, separatist, republicanism is far weaker now than what it was a decade ago – in both political and organisational terms," Leeson said.

"Acceptance of this fact is the first necessary step in the process of reorganising and re-building a diverse social movement for the combined objectives of British withdrawal and social and economic justice." read full story / add a comment

Applicants for asylum are the latest targets in efforts to quietly legalize imprisonment without trial for people who have never been accused of any wrong. Two EU countries have now followed the lead of the US: where this policy was the first legal stepping stone in the nefarious "rendition" program of kidnapping, imprisonment, disappearance and torture without cause. read full story / add a comment
