Abelardo de la Espriella, a far-right millionaire backed by US President Donald Trump, declared victory in Colombia’s presidential runoff late Sunday as preliminary results showed him leading by less than one percentage point with more than 99% of the vote tallied. Despite the narrow margin, Trump—who is notorious for lying about elections—falsely declared on Truth Social [...]
Books that reach a prisoner are always important. They are read attentively, without skipping details that, in the outside world, would probably escape our notice. Yet I think the book by Greek economist and left-wing politician Yanis Varoufakis, Technofeudalism, which was sent to me some time ago, deserves attention regardless of the circumstances in which we read it.

Most on the Left believe that the people who are paid the least in capitalist economies, like the contemporary United States, ought to be paid more, even if that would mean that the market’s current winners get paid much less. What is the basic argument for this claim? I have been preoccupied with this question [...]

Since I was previously posting about trillionaires , here's an angle from David Sachs that describes what wealth actually looks like practically speaking because it's not just a big pile of money. We need better ways to more easily get a feel for what is normal and what is excessive in this realm. #

If you are a Christian living in the Western United States, you have almost certainly been targeted with pro-Israel, anti-Palestine propaganda, paid for directly by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu. Your searches, location, and internet activity is being monitored by Israel, and your algorithms and search results across multiple platforms are being manipulated by Israeli [...]

Chris Jones is a fisherman, not a farmer. And, until 2023, he directed Iowa’s network of stream pollution monitors for the University of Iowa. With a university blog, he documented the pollution caused by runoff from large-scale farms, transforming scientific jargon about the sorry state of Iowa’s water into humorous stories anyone could understand. But [...]

Why are suburban yards so big.. Stewart Hicks asks: It’s not just because Americans wanted more space. systems underground required it. After World War II. developers began building suburbs at a scale and speed the country had never seen before. But instead of connecting every new house to municipal sewer systems. many developments relied on (…)
At the end of May, Greg Bovino, the former chief of the US Border Patrol, was the keynote speaker at a “Remigration Summit” in Portugal. There, he won applause from neo-Nazis for a program that ends in the forced removal of immigrants, legal residents, even citizens. A week later, US Vice-President JD Vance used a British teenager’s [...]
What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling [...]
A Further Explanation of my Methods...Gandalf here. lingering in the Towers of Gondor thanks to their priceless libraries. One wonders if. some time soon. libraries will be hard to come by. and even harder to have. I've had to get rid of a fair portion of my own in these latter days - books require humidity control. temperature ranges. and lots of dedicated space. You would think [given that man spent a presumed million years or so of prehi....
The ideology of the modern state is Hobbesianism – the notion that the state is a rational secular institution whose existence is justified by the use of its monopoly of violence to repress challenges to public order. Without the state, it is argued, life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”. The state then is [...]
In a move that will disappoint those still clinging to the fantasy that wind turbines and solar panels can single-handedly run the digital economy. Chevron announced a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft to supply dedicated electricity to a massive new data center campus in West Texas.
While most of Germany’s corporate leaders strongly supported Adolf Hitler’s Nazis, this changed in post-Nazi Germany after 1945. Today, German capitalism is modernised capitalism. Germany’s corporate leaders appear to have realised at least three things: Much earlier in history, Spanish capitalism realised this – perhaps during the sixteenth century. French capitalism reached a similar conclusion [...]
A wave of strange property attacks targeting Jewish sites in Canada is attributed to apolitical youth paid in crypto. The violence follows the same playbook seen in Australia and the UK. While Iran and Palestine solidarity campaigners are blamed. Israel exploits the tension. Canada is the latest in a string of nations to attribute a wave of high-profile but mostly low-consequence attacks to a mysterious online “gun-for-hire” plot. If Canada..

The announcement of the US/Iran Memorandum of Understanding allegedly ending the war between Iran and the USA/Israeli axis has brought forth more confusion than I can remember in the aftermath of any crisis.  And, how can we even use the word “aftermath” when, shortly after the “signing” of the Memorandum, Israel continued its relentless war [...]
get another to replace him. It doesn't matter who the UK's PM is--it is going to be a pompous corrupt hack with delusions of grandeur. Centuries of incest. physical and mental degeneracy and of negative selection doomed Britain and it cannot be saved unless the process of wholesale defenestration begins. In the end. UK's influence on world affairs is grossly exaggerated. to the point of a grotesque fantasy. supported to a large extent by me..
The Left,” in the singular, is a simplified expression of the diversity of leftist movements[1]. By “the Left,” I mean all organized collective resistance against social injustice, inequality, and discrimination caused by the main forms of domination in the modern era: capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy. Resistance is only “leftist” when it is simultaneously anti-capitalist, anti-racist, [...]

In The Critic. Dalrymple considers the government’s habit of describing compulsory bureaucratic tasks as voluntary “services” to which citizens “agree”. This is bureaucratic Maoism. and there is no better or more powerful way to destroy people’s independence and probity — and to enforce their dependence — than to oblige them to subscribe to lies.
