  • More than 5,300 feared dead in Libya flooding auburnpub.com

    Why the media aren’t telling the whole story of Libya’s floods

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on September 15, 2023 by 'Middle East Eye' (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    There are reasons for Libya’s ‘chaotic’, ‘dysfunctional’ response to the disaster. And to identify them, we need to look closer to home.

    We’re rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic: don’t ask me to help out

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on September 10, 2023 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Highlighting the climate crisis is not ‘alarmism’, as critics say. Big Business wants an exclusive focus on climate because it downplays the true reasons for alarm.

  • Daniel Ellsberg

    Daniel Ellsberg is lauded in death by the same media that lets Assange rot in jail

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on June 20, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    The stark difference in treatment of the two truth-tellers is a measure of how state criminality is now completely unchecked.

    Russia-Ukraine war: Another act of terror met by western media silence

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on June 14, 2023 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    Coverage of the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and Nord Stream pipelines shows a western media willing to prioritise anti-Russian propaganda over facts.

  • Benjamin Netanyahu

    Israel’s crisis is about who gets to play tyrant: the generals or religious thugs

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on March 29, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    In pushing through his ‘judicial overhaul’, Netanyahu wasn’t destroying ‘Israeli democracy’. He was richly exploiting the lack of it.

    Starmer is paving the way for the triumph of dark politics

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on February 27, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    By waging an all-out war on the left and its ideas, the Labour leader is strangling hope of change in a time of crisis–and risks driving voters towards right-wing authoritarians

    How social networks became a ‘subsidiary’ of the FBI and CIA

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on February 20, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    THE BIG STORY: The Twitter Files have lifted the lid on a secret alliance between Silicon Valley, intelligence agencies and the political establishment

    Why the western media is afraid of Julian Assange

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on January 30, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    The shared desire of the security services and the corporate media is to disappear Assange in the hope that his revolutionary model of journalism is abandoned or forgotten for good.

    How Netanyahu handed Ben-Gvir the gun to start an annexation war

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on December 23, 202 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    Jewish Power now has dozens of ways to inflame Palestinians into all-out confrontation. A third intifada has never felt closer.

    Cop27: The dirty secret Europe is hiding at the climate summit

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on November 16, 2022 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    Grand declarations at Cop27 on tackling the climate emergency are sabotaged by a treaty from the 1990s that sees European nations held to ransom by the energy companies.

    Europe, more than Putin, must shoulder the blame for the energy crisis

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on September 14, 2022 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    The same arrogant, self-righteous posturing from the West that fueled the Ukraine war is now plunging Europe into recession.

    Those angry at Rushdie’s stabbing have been missing in action over a far bigger threat to our freedom

    The appalling attack on him. Those who more than 30 years ago put a fatwa on his head after he wrote the novel, “The Satanic Verses,” made this assault possible. They deserve contempt. I wish him a speedy recovery.

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on July 27, 2022 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    New documentary discloses the ways western publics are softened up for aggressive, global U.S. militarism through the Defense Department’s influence over thousands of US films and TV shows.

    COP26: Military pollution is the skeleton in the West’s climate closet

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on November 8, 2021 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    Leaders at the COP26 summit have no intention of tackling the growing environmental impacts caused by their ‘defence’ spending.

    Craig Murray’s jailing is the latest move in a battle to snuff out independent journalism

    He becomes the first person ever to be imprisoned on the obscure and vaguely defined charge of “jigsaw identification”.

    We are living through a time of fear not just of the virus but of each other

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on March 26, 2021 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Welcome to the age of fear. Nothing is more corrosive of the democratic impulse than fear. Left unaddressed, it festers, eating away at our confidence and empathy.

    Twitter’s ban on Trump will only deepen the U.S. tribal divide

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on January 11, 2021 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Anyone who believes locking President Donald Trump out of his social media accounts will serve as the first step on the path to healing the political divide in the United States is likely to be in for a bitter disappointment.

    Something remarkable even by the usually dismal standards of the stenographic media blue-tick brigade has been happening in the past few days.

  • The Guardian’s Deceit-riddled New Statement Betrays both Julian Assange and Journalism

    The Guardian’s deceit-riddled new statement betrays both Julian Assange and journalism

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on September 27, 2020 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    In my recent post on the current hearings at the Old Bailey over Julian Assange’s extradition to the United States, where he would almost certainly be locked away for the rest of his life for the crime of doing journalism, I made two main criticisms of the Guardian.
