Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) In virtually every country that’s allied with the U.S. Government against Russia and against China, there is a low public job-approval-rating for its head-of-state and for its Government, and a rating that is far lower than is the public job-approval for the leaders of the countries that the U.S. gang […]
Eric Zuesse On 1 June 2023, Benzinga headlined “Elon Musk’s Twitter Loses Yet Another Head Of Trust And Safety”, and reported that, Since Musk’s takeover, the microblogging platform has faced mounting criticism for its perceived lack of effective safeguards against harmful content.

Eric Zuesse Why is it that America’s Government is far worse than the American people are? Americans aren’t even nearly as bad as its political Parties are, and this is because its political Parties are controlled by its billionaires, who are far worse than the American people are (worse than the “average” American — as […]

Eric Zuesse It’s the extreme concentration of wealth in the hands of just a tiny fraction of the richest 1% of the richest 1% of the richest 1% of wealth-holders that makes the country be an aristocracy instead of a democracy. This extreme inequality of wealth does that, by distorting Government-expenditures in the directions that […]
Eric Zuesse Neither the conservatives nor the liberals, neither the Republicans nor the Democrats, are honest about global warming, and the reason for this is that both sides are funded by billionaires, and neither Republican billionaires nor Democratic billionaires want the public to know that the only realistically possible governmental action that could possibly solve […]
Eric Zuesse (4,957 words) Outlaw the purchasing of any stock or bond — any investment securities — in fossil-fuel extraction companies, such as ExxonMobil and Peabody Coal: any such company at all.
