Why Galloway Shouldn't Be Allowed Back
According to the Morning Star , chief Corbyn ally and top Unite mover and shaker, Andrew Murray, has intimated that George Galloway should be allowed to return to the Labour Party. You may recall the Gorgeous One was removed for bringing the party into disrepute after the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Opposition to Blair's ruinous and stupid war was one thing, but exhorting troops to refuse or

Democrophobia Strikes Deep
One of the more common explanations offered by the liberal pundit class for the elevation of Donald Trump to the highest office in the land is that there is an excess of "democracy" in this country. The conventional elite wisdom is that even though the majority of Americans are stupid, they were tragically still functional enough to tear themselves away from Fox News for the little time it took t
Count Your Damned Blessings
It's a testament to how low we've descended as a country that the defeat in Alabama Tuesday of a homophobic, xenophobic good ole boy fundamentalist fanatic pedophile came as such a huge shock to most pundits and prognosticators. Much to our wondering eye does appear the reality that yes, Virginia, there is a limit to the awfulness that voters will accept in the politicians they elect to faithfull
We Are All Foreign Enemies Now
If Congress and its oligarchic masters get their way with their tax reform package, the ultra-rich will attach themselves like leeches on steroids to the body politic. They'll suck the poor and middle class as dry as it is possible to suck them without actually killing off too many their hosts. There will, sadly, be collateral damage resulting as the Winter Solstice darkness approaches and gives
Bill Clinton's Ruling Class Lament
As part of the great national wokeness serving to expose and shame the predators in the highest echelons of media and political power, the New York Times has graciously allowed former President Bill Clinton to perform his own reckoning, in his own words. Clinton reckons that the biggest problem that America faces is not that the powerful and the rich are exploiting and assaulting the poor and the
Welfare As Trump Knows It and Receives It
Just as news leaked out that Donald Trump's tax returns - a/k/a his corporate welfare award letters from the government - are now locked up in a safe deep within the bowels of the IRS comes word that Trump will go after what's still left of the regular welfare system. "Welfare for me, but not for thee," he as much as brayed to the nation last week, just in time for Thanksgiving. Because his faux-
My Al Franken Mind-Split
I am totally on the fence regarding the Al Franken resignation. The feminist part of me applauds his forcing-out at the hands of female senators. Maybe he posed for that dumb picture with a fellow entertainer for what he sincerely thought were harmless entertainment reasons. Nonetheless, the image did send a harmful message to immature males everywhere. That message is that women are objects of ha

KIPP Franchise Fees Worth $6,000,000 Annually to Execs
Few people know that the KIPP Foundation's home office in San Francisco collects an ongoing franchise fee of $30,000 per year from each of its 200+ schools. I know that $6,000,000 doesn't sound like a lot of money when we consider that KIPP schools collect over 600,000,000 public dollars each year to support KIPP's segregated and dehumanizing enterprises, but $6 million is almost enough to make p
KIPP Marketing: Apartheid Schools Help Empowerment
A KIPP charter school in Nashville is on the forefront of a new corporate marketing strategy to promote segregation as a "positive" for civil rights, and the local NPR station is helping out . And how is this KIPP school doing that? Actually, it's nothing new, for it involves heavy doses of propaganda that lead children to believe at an early age that they, alone, are responsible for their own li

On Tesla gigafactory, WEF + Tesla fake news and video
The other day, I commented on this tweet by Vala Afshar re Tesla gigafactory in Nevada producing battery cells and e-cars. This portion particularly caught my attention because it cannot be true. If the wind does not blow, or the Sun does not shine (at night or in rainy/cloudy days), there will be massive blackout in that gigafactory. The source of that video is the WEF in this article dated 23 A

People can exclusively use, keep, sell, donate or give away their property if they want to. There is a measurement of property rights protection worldwide being done annually by the Property Rights Alliance (PRA),
Energy 104, Ric Barcelona on energy investment and subsidies

I attended the book launching of Ric's book, “Energy Investment: An Adaptive Approach to Profiting from Uncertainties” last November 22, 2017 at Shangrila Hotel Makati. Good work and congrats again, Ric. --------------- Why do subsidies often fail? In writing my new book, I came face

* This is my column in BusinessWorld last November 23, 2017. The Duterte administration’s mining policy shows continuing uncertainty. First, ex-DENR secretary Gina Lopez issued a Department Administrative Order (DAO 2017-10) banning open-pit mining for metallic products. After her rejection by the Commission on Appointments (CA) last May, it was expected that her successor, Sec. Roy Cimatu, would

Neither A Science Nor A Theology
Like Martin Luther five hundred years ago, Steve Keen -- who teaches at the London School of Economics, -- has called for a reformation of his discipline. Larry Elliott writes : Keen and those supporting him (full disclosure: I was one of them) were making a simple point as he used Blu Tack to stick their 33 theses to one of the world’s leading universities: economics needs its own Reformation ju

Beverley McLachlin has left the bench. Adrienne Clarkson knows her well and puts her tenure as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in perspective: Rarely does public life bring you into intimate contact with people for whom you instantly feel great personal affinity.

The OJ Defence
Republicans have Robert Mueller in their sites. They plan to mount the OJ Defence. Michael Harris reminds his readers how it worked: Instead of allowing the prosecution to try their client on the evidence, Johnnie Cochran and company managed to put LAPD investigators on trial. It was the judicial world’s equivalent of a Hail Mary pass. In the face of Cochran’s relentless attack on the police, but
The Reckoning Is Underway
The Republicans claim they have a deal on their tax bill. And they're rushing to get it done -- before Doug Jones takes his seat. Why? Paul Krugman thinks that the main reason for their behaviour is that they've been living in a bubble: Today’s Republicans are apparatchiks, who have spent their whole lives inside an intellectual bubble in which cutting taxes on corporations and the rich is always
The Toughest Road
Donald Trump likes to think of himself as a winner. So does Steve Bannon. But neither man won last night in Alabama. Quin Hillyer reports in The New York Times: Donald Trump and Steve Bannon are politically impotent. The president and his former grand strategist threw considerable weight behind Roy Moore, the polarizing Republican Senate candidate in Alabama. For the second time this year, the st

The future does not look bright. George Monbiot writes : The trouble begins where everything begins: with soil. The UN’s famous projection that, at current rates of soil loss, the world has 60 years of harvests left, appears to be supported by a new set of figures. Partly as a result of soil degradation, yields are already declining on 20
