CNN & Risk of Fake News Promoting WW3
I distinctly remember 8th-grade history class, perhaps because of the Cuban Missile Crisis, as the kids’ war caught the headlines and everyone’s attention. I was about 11 years old at the time. I recall walking with my friends, and we were all discussing nuclear war. So, perhaps against that backdrop, […]
The New Issue Of JOHNSTONE: Never Forget What They Did To Gaza
I publish my work in print form every month in a collection called JOHNSTONE magazine. The new edition is now available to order in print or download as a pay-what-you-want e-book version. This month’s issue features a painting based on a photo from Palestinian journalist Moaz Abutaha, and it’s titled […]
Israel threatens West Bank annexation if Europe recognizes Palestinian state
Israel has issued a shocking warning to European allies: Recognize Palestine, and we will annex the West Bank. In a brazen escalation, Israeli officials have told France and the UK that unilateral recognition of Palestinian statehood will trigger immediate land seizures, further entrenching apartheid policies and ethnic cleansing in occupied […]
A Plan To Deploy NATO Troops To Ukraine Is “Dead”
An anonymous source has told the Financial Times that the plan by the United Kingdom and France to put NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) troops on the ground in Ukraine is “dead.” The plan is still being pushed by some Western backers. However, the U.S. is refusing to “backstop” the idea. Luckily, […]
NATO Is On The Verge Of A Full-Blown War With Russia, And Firing Long-Range Missile Deep Into Russian Territory Isn’t Going To Lead To Peace
Do you remember when Joe Biden brought us to the brink of nuclear war by allowing the Ukrainians to fire long-range missiles provided by the United States deep into Russian territory? Unfortunately, western leaders have decided to do it again. I honestly have no idea what they are thinking. Every […]
US Reinstates Funding to Propaganda Outlet NED
National Endowment for Democracy weaponizes “democracy” in Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba The brief freeze and rapid partial reinstatement of National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funding in early 2025 helped expose it as a US regime-change tool. Created to rebrand CIA covert operations as “democracy promotion,” the NED channels government funds […]
U.S. Has No Interest in Stopping Israel’s Genocide in Gaza
Trump has surrounded himself by devoted Zionists, like Marco Rubio, who he once mocked as the “perfect Adelson puppet.” Steve Witkoff, U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, told officials last week that the administration will not force Israel to stop its genocide in Gaza, despite the worsening humanitarian conditions inside […]
BBC’s ‘independent’ Russian partner begged UK govt for funds, files show
Leaked documents show the supposedly self-reliant anti-Kremlin outlet Mediazona asked the UK gov’t for £300,000. With foreign funding drying up, the “independent” news site now faces financial crisis. Mediazona, the self-styled “independent” Russian outlet which partners with the BBC to track the deaths of Russian troops, requested hundreds of thousands of […]
In Defense of Whataboutism, The Scientific Method of Justice
Try this sometime: say that NATO bombed civilians in Serbia, and Russia did the same in Ukraine. Don’t take a side, don’t justify it – just note the symmetry and watch the room explode. You’ll be accused of whataboutism, as though you’d just farted in church during a eulogy. Push further, and […]
The So-Called Trump-Ramaphosa ‘Ambush’
Trump’s meeting with Ramaphosa was a long-overdue reality check on South Africa’s hostility, hypocrisy, and dependence on U.S. aid and trade. Nothing highlights the poverty of the media-Democratic mind than its weary use of echo-chamber buzzwords. Once Pravda-like instructions are sent out from DNC operatives, mindless media anchors mouth them […]
