    Originally published: Janata Weekly on November 12, 2023 (more by Janata Weekly)  |

    Originally published: Janata Weekly on December 11, 2022 by Thomas Scripps (more by Janata Weekly)  | (Posted Dec 19, 2022)

    At long last, these publications have acknowledged that the material published by Assange was of vital public interest and importance, noting that what he released “disclosed corruption, diplomatic scandals and spy affairs on an international scale” and “decisions that cost the country most heavily in lives and money.”

    Originally published: Janata Weekly on August 7, 2022 by Guy Standing (more by Janata Weekly)  | (Posted Aug 10, 2022)

    For most of human history, the oceans have been seen as a global commons, the benefits and resources of which belong to us all in equal measure. But our seas–and the marine environment as a whole–are being ravaged by exploitation for corporate profit. The result is a social, economic and ecological crisis that threatens the very life support system of the Earth.

    “Twenty-one Indian cities are going to be waterless very soon,” Rajendra Singh tells me in an interview for NewsClick conducted last week in Delhi. Singh is alluding to a prediction in a Niti Aayog report on water.

    Why neoliberalism needs neofascists

    Originally published: Janata Weekly on August 29, 2021 (more by Janata Weekly)  |

    It has been four decades since neoliberal globalization began to reshape the world order. During this time, its agenda has decimated labor rights, imposed rigid limits on fiscal deficits, given massive tax breaks and bailouts to big capital, sacrificed local production for multinational supply chains, and privatized public sector assets at throwaway prices.

    Why the U.S. shouldn’t play games with cyberwarfare as its power declines

    Originally published: Janata Weekly on April 18, 2021 (more by Janata Weekly)  |

    Two major cyberhacks—of ‘SolarWinds’ and ‘Microsoft Exchange Server’—have affected a whole range of computer systems worldwide.
