A Tale of Two Nations
She was 96. She had been on the throne for nearly 70 years. Yet, I imagine, it still came as a shock to many of us all over the world to hear that the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, had passed away today. Newspapers the world over frantically searched for, dusted off and updated obituaries that were written in advance a generation ago. It came as such a shock to us who'd lived within her record-setting reign because Queen Elizabeth II had lived such a long, full and rich life that I suspect, as with Fidel Castro and his passing, we almost thought she'd live forever.

Fact Finding Mission To Donbass Part Three
From May 1 to May 12, I traveled to both Russia and the Lugansk People’s Republic, an independent republic in the Donbass region, formerly part of eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine Loses Soldiers – Europe Its Economies – All For No Gain
When the Ukraine launched its Kherson 'counteroffensive' on August 29 I was pretty aghast and judged that it was destined to fail: To break the reinforced Russian lines now would have taken more troops than were available.I am sure that the Ukrainian military knew that this offensive would fail. For political reasons Zelenski ordered them to launch it anyway. There are now another 1,000+ Ukrainian and Russian lives lost for nothing other then some sensational headlines and political optics. More than 3,000 Ukrainians have died by now in the Kherson offensive without having made a... read more

Russia - Ukraine War: Military Summary And Analysis For 8.09.2022
*WNU Editor*: A lot of interesting updates today. Both sides are saying that fighting is intense in the Kharkiv region, and Ukraine is saying that they have made a major advance. In the above Military Summary video I agree with the narrator that the big mystery is why has Russia not stopped this advance. This region is very close to the Russian border where there are a number of Russian bases and large numbers of Russian forces. On the Donbas front Russian forces continue there slow advance. In the Kherson region it looks like the Ukraine counter-offensive has come to an end. read more
Sanctions Are Destructive, Illegitimate, And Totally Bipartisan
What right does the United States have to starve civilians to achieve political goals? Despite its obvious importance, this question is largely absent from mainstream discourse. Through economic sanctions, or economic warfare, the U.S. can unilaterally collapse economies and generate famine in foreign countries. The civilian death toll from sanctions is often equal to—and sometimes greater than—the toll from conventional warfare. Yet on both sides of the aisle, it is taken for granted that we have the “right” to impose destitution on civilian populations in order to advance our in... read more

The Free Market Is Wrong For Education (Part #1,277,652)
You may have noticed lately that the streaming industry is going through meltdown challenging transition. It's a reminder that, particularly in late stage capitalism, the free market is fundamentally incompatible with public education. Just as cable disrupted broadcast television, streaming has disrupted cable. The less obvious part of the transition was a transition in what the business was actually about. Broadcast television are in the business of collecting eyeballs and then renting those eyeballs out to advertisers. Streaming services are in the business of selling subscripti... read more

After Years Of Tribal Resistance, DHS Finishes Its ‘Virtual Wall’
When I come across surveillance towers in the borderlands, I first look to see if there are any communities, towns, or houses in its view. I did this on Monday, on the Tohono O’odham Nation in the southern Arizona borderlands, when I found an “integrated fixed tower,” built by the Israeli company Elbit Systems. It took me, two other journalists, and O’odham member Raymond Daukei all day to find it. I could see that homes in Topawa—a community of 380 people backed by the verdant western side of the muscular Baboquivari mountain range—were easily in range of the tower’s sophisticate... read more

Inflation: State-Sponsored Terrorism
Remember the quaint old days of 2019? We were told the US economy was in great shape. Inflation was low, jobs were plentiful, GDP was growing. And frankly, if covid had not come along, there is a pretty good chance Donald Trump would have been reelected. At an event in 2019, my friend and economist Dr. Bob Murphy said something very interesting about the political schism in this country.

Well, we might not have to imagine such a scenario much lo... read more
