Thinking About Non-RoeBased on the commentary so far, I’m not convinced anyone has a firm grasp on the consequences that would follow should the Supreme Court use the *Dobbs* case to overrule *Roe v. Wade*. This is not meant as a criticism, only to point out the likelihood that there could be many unexpected effects. Perhaps it is inherently difficult to think through the implications of changing a longstanding legal reality on which so many millions of people have relied for so long. (I’ll note I’m happy to learn about scholarship which has already made the points I detail below). Certainly some... read more

Argentina: Further Developments in the Irma Rick Abduction Case*Argentina: Further Developments in the Irma Rick Abduction Case* *By Luis Burgos (FAO/ICOU)* One can count - on the fingers of one's hand - the number of UFO cases in which the Justice Ministry has played a part. But when it has occurred, the cases acquire unexpected dimensions, for it is no longer up to UFOs or journalists to research - but up to a given court and a judge or prosecutor assuming the roles of actors in charge of shedding light on the matter. In it, policemen, physicians, experts, etc. will play a part, striving to gather the greatest possible amount of evidence... read more

LaRouche: Only a Four-Power Agreement Can Defeat the “Globalist” World EmpireDuring the 2007-09 depression collapse, Lyndon LaRouche understood that the power of the “globalist” world financial empire–which is today’s form of the British empire–was so great, that no single nation-state had the strength to destroy it. Even the United States, the world’s most powerful nation-state, could not by itself crush this world empire. read more

"The ultra-violent cult that became a global mafia"That's how the BBC headlines an article about Nigeria's "Black Axe" criminal fraternity, which has spread worldwide and - if the report is to be believed - rivals the Sicilian/Italian Mafia or Japan's Yakuza as an umbrella organization for crime and violence. The article is very long, and contains (in my opinion) more hype than substance, but it's worth reading. Here's a brief excerpt. For two years BBC Africa Eye has been investigating Black Axe, building a network of whistle-blowers, and uncovering several thousand secret documents - leaked from the gang's private communic... read more

ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL: A LIFE OF RADICAL AMAZEMENT, by Julian E. ZelizerI strongly recommend this new biography of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel by Princeton historical Julian Zelizer. It is of obvious interest to anyone interested in Jewish thought and theology. It is part of the Yale University Press's notable series "Jewish Lives." But what makes it of special interest to a far broader audience is the emphasis on Heschel's involvement in central civil rights struggles of the 1960s. Most people, I suspect, have seen the iconic photograph of him with Martin Luther King, who became very close friends. But Heschel also threw himself into the m... read more

STARTING TOMORROW: Our logic, our facts!*MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2021* *Our tribe:* We spend a pretty good chunk of the weekend watching West Side Story (1961). We tried to imagine how the movie may have seemed to the many people who saw it in real time. We were thirteen when it came out; we don't recall going to see it. But how did it seem to those who did? Also, how does it seem today? As we watched it over the weekend, it struck us as surprisingly underwhelming. Its political / sociological messaging seemed to be captured in an exchange between George Chakiris' Bernardo and Natalie Wood's Maria, after Maria has suddenl... read more

An army of devotees hangs on his every utterance. He dreams of Mars as he bestrides Earth, square-jawed and indomitable.
