Melbourne University Backs Racist and Anti-Semitic IHRA

In 2022 Melbourne University (MU), formerly Australia’s top university, succumbed to racist Zionist subversion by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish and non-Jewish staff and students as anti-Semitic for criticism of Israeli Apartheid.

Statement on the Killing of Tortuguita by Atlanta Police

On January 18th, Tortuguita, a brave and beloved Weelaunee Forest Defender, was killed by Atlanta Police. As people of conscience, as breathers of air, as anti-imperialists, as feminists, pacifists, activists – we condemn this state-sanctioned murder.

Martin Luther King Day: Every Day is On!

Of course, King was murdered by the Deep State on Steroids: Both the Jowers and the Wilson allegations suggest that persons other than or in addition to James Earl Ray participated in the assassination.

Let Them Die!

In the spirit of Jonathan Swift’s satirical world (“A Modest Proposal”), we might facetiously attribute the recent decline in US life expectancy to a concerted effort to strengthen the social safety net. Politicians have been maintaining for decades that it would be necessary to reduce social security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits to keep the systems […]
