The Endless Failure Of The Syrian WarThe recent rush of news reports about Balkan, Middle East and East European states scrambling to reestablish ties with Damascus would appear to signal the effective collapse of the decade-long Western policy of war, sanctions and isolation to end the rule of Bashar al-Assad’s Baath regime in Syria. Syria’s southern neighbor Jordan opened its land border to trade in September as a precursor to a gas pipeline project that will run through its territory from Egypt to Lebanon. King Abdullah even took a phone call from Assad, much to the chagrin of the pundits on Syria whose opinions h... read more

New Reports Allege Texas Oil And Gas Regulator’s Lax EnforcementWhen a Canadian company started drilling for oil and gas near Jim and Sue Franklin’s ranch in a small Permian Basin town called Verhalen, Texas, it didn’t bother the couple too much at first. But Sue suspects that it was the third well that started causing problems. “They put up these big signs that said, ‘H2S gas, danger, keep out, blah blah blah,’” she says. The well was being drilled in what’s called a sour-gas field, an oil field that naturally has a high concentration of a deadly gas called hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The company promised the Franklins that the gas — which can cau... read more

Drug Decriminalization Is Working In OregonAs COVID-19 continues to rage, another health crisis persists — one that is decades long. In the first year of the pandemic, the United States hit the devastating milestone of 100,000 overdose deaths, a nearly 28.5 percent surge from the record numbers we saw the previous year. Now, fentanyl is the leading cause of death in Americans ages 18-45. The reaction from many of our leaders has been to call for more arrests and criminalization, but this response is rooted in fear, not science. We have spent the last 50 years trying to treat a public health issue with a criminalization res... read more

Cost Of Living Crisis Was Caused By Privatisation And AusterityGovernment and especially Treasury ideology going back to Margaret Thatcher has been based on false assertions about the superiority of private enterprise. It was why she sold the huge strategic asset of BP for a pittance. It is the same ideology that now dismisses the demands for energy nationalization. We should be clear that surging prices are not a naturally occurring phenomenon. They are a product of government policy, of what used to be known as austerity policies. Last year, it was incorrectly asserted by many commentators that Boris Johnson had ended the age of austerity. ... read more
