From Bill Clinton through Joe Biden, the Democrats have spearheaded the effort by American imperialism to encircle Russia and provoke war.

China has spent the last two decades quietly establishing an economic foothold in Latin America, a region that has traditionally relied on Western investment. It’s become the top trade partner for countries like Brazil and Peru, and its banks have given out more than $137 billion in loans since 2005, mostly for infrastructure, energy and […]

After a couple of weeks of preparation and some poor weather, we finally got the new boat, Wagtail, out for a sail. Lots to learn of course, as everything is a new and a bit different, but she was a joy to sail. We headed out of Manly, Queensland and just had a short sail to Green Island where we anchored for lunch, and the video ends. For those who are interested, Gull will continue to live up in the Great Sandy Straits and Wagtail will be harboured in Manly.

Testimony by evacuated Mariupol residents and warnings of a false flag attack undermine the Ukrainian government’s claims about a Russian bombing of a local theater sheltering civilians. Western media have reported that Russia’s military deliberately attacked the Donetsk Academic Regional Drama theater in Mariupol, Ukraine, claiming that it was filled with civilians and marked with signs reading “children” on its grounds. The supposed bombing took place just as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to US Congress for a no fly […]

I had a chance to visit Spain late last summer, and it was quite a glorious experience. Spain is a beautiful, vibrant, wonderful place with tremendous food, amazing architecture, and a very European way of life – which is to say, all about sun, sangria, and siesta. If you ever get a chance to visit […]

Not since ISIS have we seen such a flurry of recruitment activity.

On YouTube in full for the first time, The Man With Half A Body is a heart-warming and inspirational film, where we meet 35-year-old Kenny whose body ends at his waist and who walks on his hands.  Kenny has had no lower body since his legs had to be amputated when he was a baby – but has always refused to use a wheelchair or prosthetics.  Doctors didn’t think Kenny would live beyond his teens and as he approaches middle age, his biggest battle is to maintain good health.  Nevertheless, in his desire to live a normal life, Kenny refuses to allow his extraordinary body to stop him from looking for love or work. #TheManWithHalfABody #YouTube

You hear that every day, all day, well, just think about that. Is that really true? Is anyone thinking for a minute that Canada and Mexico have the right to join into a military alliance with Russia and China? Or is that absolutely preposterous?” — Scott Horton Scott Horton is an anti-war radio host, podcaster, and author. In this interview, we discuss whether there are any just wars, the Ukraine/Russia conflict, and how a chain reaction of misunderstood events going back to WW1 got us here. - - - - History is not necessarily objective: observers are usually partisan, and chroniclers of collected stories have their own subjective biases that can affect the evidence base. These issues are most pronounced in the records of wars. This is because history is written by the victors. Mainstream presentation of the history of wars rarely credits divergent interpretations. The major conflicts that involve a given nation-state, particularly those that support politically advantageous mythologies, are treated as being self-evident. Opposing analysis is given the pejorative label of ‘conspiracy theory’. Yet, could the history of our current civilization be open to new explanations? Is there sufficient evidence, maybe hidden in plain sight, that would cast a different light on events? Could the official version be wrong? Was the rationale and motivation for pivotal decisions, which have changed the trajectory of life on earth, different to the commonly accepted understanding?
