Meditations On the Botched Execution of Christa Pike, by Caitlin Johnstone

2 October 2026 at 05:10
They botched another execution in Tennessee. They stuck the prisoner full of seven different syringes, but she didn’t die. She just experienced extreme suffering, minute after excruciating minute, before eventually losing consciousness. Her name is Christa Pike. As of this writing, she is still alive. Pike committed a horrific violent crime as a young woman...

Yemen Has Not Even Started Yet, by Pepe Escobar

2 October 2026 at 05:00
We did get prime time spectacle – actually a double fake: the remixed 9/11 on FlyDubai. September 30 – the deadline for a possible Iranian kinetic move against the Trump naval blockade – came and went. Iran stuck to its guns – without essentially releasing them on the “blockading” (sooooo far away) U.S. Navy. But...

Was Barbarossa A Response to the Sudden Buildup of Russian Troops on Europe's Eastern Flank, by Mike Whitney

2 October 2026 at 05:00
Only when I increasingly sensed, week after week, that Russia now considered the time ripe to move against us, when we had only three divisions in East Prussia, twenty two Russian divisions were assembling there; when I gradually received reports of airfield after airfield being built along our border; and division after division being brought...

Männerbund vs. Longhouse, by Kevin DeAnna

1 October 2026 at 05:10
We must forge a new people. There is another campus hysteria, but after the Duke Lacrosse case, the UVA Hoax, and numerous others, people are right to be suspicious. However it turns out, there is a larger issue. The culture has collapsed and no one is coming out of this looking good, but young men,...

Villains of Judea: Gloria Steinem, by Jose Alberto Nino

2 October 2026 at 05:00
The news of Gloria Steinem’s death on September 2, 2026, at 92, invited the familiar ritual of American remembrance. Obituaries saluted the journalist who became the most recognizable public face of second-wave feminism. Yet a serious account of Steinem’s life must begin where tributes often hesitate. Before she confronted senators, presidents, and the editors who...

The Mamdani Era: Trump, Netanyahu, Door Dash and Opera, by Danny Goldberg

1 October 2026 at 05:10
As Zohran Mamdani begins his ninth month in office, he continues to function on several levels at once. On the international stage, he recently met with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Netherlands Prime Minister Rob Jetten and traded attacks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That same week, the mayor had another surreal...

Russia Is Not Collapsing: A Reply to Con Coughlin, by Larry C. Johnson

1 October 2026 at 05:10
Con Coughlin’s September 30 column in the Telegraph tells readers that Vladimir Putin’s decision to raise defense spending is a “desperate gamble” that could end with Russia following the Soviet Union into economic collapse. It is a familiar story. Western commentators have been predicting Russia’s economic implosion since the first sanctions packages in 2022. What...

Iran Has Published a Naive Letter to the American People, by Paul Craig Roberts

1 October 2026 at 05:20
“As the first casualty of the endless wars waged by the US government has without exception been the truth, with the American people perpetually receiving the greatest harm as the result of the US government’s campaign of deception, we wish to highlight some of the facts that are being withheld from the American public. After...

Planning for a UK Civil War?, by Ganainm

1 October 2026 at 05:00
Here’s how the IRA lost the last war All wars are different. But perhaps there are lessons to be learned from the previous civil war? The most important thing to learn is how we can avoid another civil war. No offence to any of the tens of thousands who at great personal risk and inconvenience...

So Gemini: Did an Israeli plumber really pull an Emirati plane out of a suicide nosedive? Gemini: The Incident: During a Flydubai flight traveling from Dubai to Tel Aviv, an in-flight altercation broke...

The New Huey Long, by Kevin DeAnna

30 September 2026 at 05:10
The greatest populist in American history was Huey Long, who won the support of rural Louisiana by crusading against the powerful and delivering for his constituents. But now, Zohran Mamdani is creating a new form of anti-white populism for urban America, and it is winning. Whites need to study this approach carefully and think about...

In the USA the Criminal Justice System (Sic) Commits More Crimes Than Criminals, by Paul Craig Roberts

1 October 2026 at 05:00
Reports I have read have me inclined to believe that there have been far more wrongful arrests from AI facial recognition and flock cameras than correct arrests. In a recent wrongful arrest US Marshalls from the Fugitive Task Force showed up in plainclothes outside a Tennessee grandmother’s home demanding that she come out with hands...

35 Black-On-White Homicides; Sept. 2026, by Kenn Gividen

1 October 2026 at 05:00
Nearly sixty years ago I was enrolled in a majority-black high school. White students learned to stay clear of black students. Black kids would attack white classmates as casually as saying hello, usually with a punch to the back of the head. It seemed inherent. Avoidance was the only workable choice, because fighting back would...

The Gulf Restart Trap: Why Reopening Hormuz Won’t End the Energy Crisis, by Larry C. Johnson

30 September 2026 at 05:10
Once again I am indebted to Karl W. Miller, whose analysis of the energy crisis unleashed by the war with Iran has become essential reading for me. Karl has a habit of seeing around corners. He anticipated the Houthi push in southern Yemen back in July, well before it made headlines, and his recent work...

Being Forcefully Pro-Palestine Weeds the Terrible People Out of Your Life, by Caitlin Johnstone

30 September 2026 at 05:20
Being forcefully pro-Palestine is the most efficient way to weed all the worst people out of your life. It takes care of them all. Zionists. Islamophobes. Apathetic narcissists. Unthinking herd-minded right wing ideologues. Abuser-enabling “both sides” moral cowards. Emotionally stunted man-babies who turn every challenging conversation into an “allow me to play devil’s advocate” mental...
