    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.

    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.

    In fact, those weren’t really separate horror shows: they were instalments of one long horror show.

    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.

  • Robert Fisk

    Establishment journalists are piling on to smear Robert Fisk now he cannot answer back

    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. A decade ago, remember, the newspaper worked […]

    Guerin had dared, unlike any of her colleagues in the western media, to allude to the terrible price inflicted on the Palestinian people by the west’s decision to help the Zionist movement create a Jewish state shortly after the Holocaust. The Palestinians were dispossessed of their homeland as apparent compensation–at least for those Jews who became citizens of Israel–for Europe’s genocidal crimes.

  • Jonathan Cook – Nazareth, Israel

    Bedouin mass eviction – Israel to drive Palestinians off their historic lands

    Originally published: True Publica on October 27, 2019 (more by True Publica)  |

    Last week 36,000 Bedouin–all of them Israeli citizens–discovered that their state is about to make them refugees in their own country, driving them into holding camps. These Israelis, it seems, are the wrong kind.

  • Jonathan Cook- Jewish Labour Movement Was Revived To Deal With Corbyn

    Jewish Labour Movement was revived to deal with Corbyn

    Originally published: True Publica on April 26, 2019 (more by True Publica)  |

    The Jewish Labour Movement likes to date its origins to the Poale Zion organisation, which was founded in 1903. A socialist society, Poale Zion affiliated itself not only with the British Labour party but also with a wide range of anti-Palestinian Zionist organisations such as the World Zionist Organisation and the Israeli Labour party.

  • Benjamin Netanyahu

    After Netanyahu’s dirty tricks win–annexation of the West Bank may be next

    Originally published: TruePublica on April 15, 2019 (more by TruePublica)  |

    After winning the Israeli election with a slim majority, in a campaign that grew more sordid and vilifying by the day, Benjamin Netanyahu is poised to begin his fifth term as Israeli prime minister.

    It’s some achievement to get me sympathising with Mark Zuckerberg. But denunciations from a powerful combination of a parliamentary committee in the UK and self-appointed watchdogs of the new media like the Guardian almost managed it. – Jonathan Cook

    Long read: the neoliberal order is dying. Time to wake up

    Originally published: True Publica on November 13, 2018 (more by True Publica)  |

    In my last blog post I argued that power in our societies resides in structure, ideology and narratives–supporting what we might loosely term our current “neoliberal order”–rather than in individuals.

    Our planet and our children’s futures depend on us liberating ourselves, seeing the ghosts in the machine for what they truly are. We have to begin rebuilding our societies on the basis that we share a common humanity. That other humans are not our enemies, only those who wish to enslave us to their power.

    Monbiot is a hypocrite and a bully

    It is time for George Monbiot’s legion of supporters to call him out. Not only is he a hypocrite, but he is becoming an increasingly dangerous one.

  • Seymour Hersh

    Useful idiots who undermine dissent on Syria

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on July 3, 2017 by Jonathan Cook (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    There has been much disingenuous criticism of those, like me, who question why the western corporate media have studiously ignored the latest investigation by renowned journalist Seymour Hersh on Syria. Hersh had to publish his piece in a German newspaper, Welt am Sonntag, after the entire US and UK media rejected his article. There has still been no mention of his investigation more than a week later.

    Media’s propaganda war on Syria in full flow

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on June 30, 2017 by Jonathan Cook (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    If you wish to understand the degree to which a supposedly free western media are constructing a world of half-truths and deceptions to manipulate their audiences, keeping us uninformed and docile, then there could hardly be a better case study than their treatment of Pulitzer prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh.

  • Mapping U.S. Imperialism
    The Mapping Project U.S. military bases around the world. (Photo: Al Jazeera)

    This article deals with U.S. imperialism since World War 2. It is critical to acknowledge that U.S. imperialism emanates both ideologically and materially from the crime of colonialism on this continent which has killed over 100 million indigenous people and approximately 150 million African people over the past 500 years.
