    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.

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on July 18, 2023 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    In the intelligence business, every agent is assigned tasks by his or her handlers. In the case of Agent Zelensky, I’ve identified ten obligations that define his relationship with his foreign intelligence masters.

    “That lady from New England who shamed us all”

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on August 19, 2023 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    The mass media is reluctant to recognize civic heroes unless they display physical bravery such as rushing into a burning building to save a child. The media also lavishes vast coverage on sports heroes and entertainers.

    The day Australian sovereignty died

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on August 1, 2023 by Binoy Kampmark (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Aug 03, 2023)

    If a date might be found when Australian sovereignty was extinguished by the emissaries of the U.S. imperium, July 29, 2023 will be as good as any.

    A credible explanation of how Kakhovka Dam was blown up

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on June 15, 2023 by Eric Zuesse (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Jun 16, 2023)

    Though Western ‘news’ media have gotten their ‘explanation’ of this event from Ukraine’s Government, it never made sense that Russia would have wanted to flood, harm, and weaken, the entire western half of the territory that Russia now controls in the former Ukraine, including in Crimea (which was getting its water-supply from that dam).

    Exceptionism in U.S. Empire

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on May 16, 2023 by Kim Petersen (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted May 19, 2023)

    Aaron Good, who received his PhD in political science at Temple University, has written an exceptional book: American Exception: Empire and the Deep State (Skyhorse, 2022). The title of the first chapter broadly lays out the thesis of the book: “Empire, Hegemony, and the State.”

    Once upon a time Dostoevsky wrote a passage in The Idiot (1868) about an abused donkey passed from owner to owner which inspired Robert Bresson’s classic 1966 film Au Hasard Balthazar.

    Biden’s broken promise to avoid war with Russia may kill us all

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on October 11, 2022 by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Oct 13, 2022)

    It is widely acknowledged that U.S. and NATO officers are now fully involved in Ukraine’s operational war planning, aided by a broad range of U.S. intelligence gathering and analysis to exploit Russia’s military vulnerabilities, while Ukrainian forces are armed with U.S. and NATO weapons and trained up to the standards of other NATO countries.

    The need for alienation

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on September 19, 2022 by William Manson (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Sep 22, 2022)

    In his early Paris manuscripts (1844), the young Karl Marx defined “alienation” as an estrangement from the product of one’s labor. The modern factory, with its specialized division-of-labor (which even Adam Smith deplored as necessary but dehumanizing), exponentially increased productive output—but at the price of deskilling and condemning the worker to a single, repetitive task.

    It’s time to call it what it is: A capitalism-induced ecological crisis

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on September 14, 2022 by Erin McCarley (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Sep 19, 2022)

    One-third of Pakistan is under water. Record heat waves blanket the globe driving up temperatures beyond what humans can survive. Polar glaciers are melting much faster than scientists predicted. Droughts, fires and floods are ravaging the planet, forcing the displacement of tens of millions of people. And this is just the beginning.

    After a fragile ceasefire lasting just five months, the TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) have once again initiated violent conflict with federal forces in Northern Ethiopia.

    Did it ever strike you as odd that the foundation on which standardized testing is based is a self-contradiction?

    Fabricating Putin quotes and banning paraplegic athletes to undermine Russia: how low can the West go?

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on April 7, 2022 by Rick Sterling (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Apr 09, 2022)

    Mobilizing a population to vilify and hate a targeted enemy is a tactic that leaders have used since before the dawn of human history, and it is being used to demonize Russia and Vladimir Putin in the current conflict.
