Chet Raymo, “Seeing”
*“Seeing”* by Chet Raymo “There was a moment yesterday evening when the elements conspired to evoke these few lines, spoken by Macbeth: “Light thickens, And the crow makes wing to the rooky woods, Good things of day begin to droop and drowse. The fading light. The crows gliding down the fields to the trees in Ballybeg: Light thickens, And the crow makes wing to the rooky woods, Good things of day begin to droop and drowse.” It’s all there, in those few lines – the mysterious power of poetry to infuse the world with meaning, to anoint the world with a transforming grace. One could sp... read more

What is ‘true’ depends on which political team you’re a member of.
Eric Zuesse In every major country, the two teams are the neoconservatives versus the anti-neoconservatives. Neoconservatives, or “neocons,” are proponents of the U.S. empire and of its “rules-based international order,” and want it to be expanded to encompass all nations. Anti-neocons are, instead, proponents of the U.N. and existing international laws (which come from the […] read more
Ilan Pappé On The Four Lessons From Ukraine
Israel’s assaults on Gaza should, indeed, be mentioned and considered when evaluating the present crisis in the Ukraine. It is not a coincidence that photos are being confused – there are not many high-rises that were toppled in the Ukraine, but there is an abundance of ruined high-rises in the Gaza Strip. However, it is not only the hypocrisy about Palestine that emerges when we consider the Ukraine crisis in a wider context; it is the overall Western double standards that should be scrutinized, without, for one moment, being indifferent to news and images coming to us from the wa... read more
States With Temporary Budget Surpluses Should Invest In People
Policymakers in at least 14 states are using temporary budget surpluses to call for costly and permanent tax cuts targeted more to wealthy people and profitable corporations than to those who need help. That’s a bad choice. States should be careful to protect their long-term ability to provide funding for high-quality schools, access to affordable health care, and other public services, which these tax cuts would badly erode. Instead of permanent tax cuts, states should use the surpluses for needed one-time supports for people and businesses or to seed longer-term investments, esp... read more
What’s Behind Washington’s Denial of Biowarfare Weapons Program in Ukraine?

A No-Fly Zone Would Risk Direct Confrontation With Russia
*Kris Osborn* *Russia-Ukraine War, Europe* Targeting air defenses on Russian territory could quickly lead to a war with Russia. If the United States or NATO actually attempted to implement a no-fly zone over Ukraine, it would be almost impossible to avoid direct attacks on Russian forces and equipment, including air-defense systems inside Russia. A former Iraq and Afghanistan air campaign commander explained to the *National Interest *that Russia is almost certain to operate some of its S-400 air defense systems from Russian territory, making the need to destroy them virtually u... read more

Who are the siloviki — and what motivates them? * In describing Vladimir Putin and his inner circle, I have often thought of a remark by John Maynard Keynes about Georges Clemenceau, French prime minister during the first world war: that he was an utterly disillusioned individual who “had one illusion — France”.

It is interesting to note that the word ‘inflated’ is defined as ‘distended with air or gas; swollen.’* *“This last is not a coincidence: in regard to social issues, ‘inflation’ does not mean growth, enlargement or expansion, it means an ‘undue’—or improper or fraudulent—expansion.

China Claims the United States Is Creating an Indo-Pacific NATO
