Russian President Vladimir Putin is very proud of Comrade tRump. tRump has been a known Russian asset since at least the early 90s, and ever since then he has – wittingly or unwittingly – been the cornerstone of Putin’s most successful intelligence operation ever. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Even though he clearly lost the election, Comrade tRump […]
So what is it about white male American cops which enables them to shoot Black people in the back on such a regular basis? Clearly they are essentially cowards and they’re scared shitless of Black people – especially Black men – but it’s more than that. Part of it is endemic racism, yes; but a […]
Economist Robert Reich recently articulated two types of contemporary societies: 1) Social control 2) Social investment Social control societies require heavy investment in policing, surveillance, incarceration, immigration enforcement, etc., to control society – using fear to pave to way for racism and oppression of minorities – while the latter deals with using resources for healthcare, […]
Several years ago a pivotal study by Professors Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page looked at more than 20 years’ worth of data to answer one simple question: does Congress represent the will of the people? To no one’s shock, the answer was a resounding NO. Their study, Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, […]

The papers depict a conflict with vague and unachievable aims, pursued under George W Bush, Barack […]
