Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Who is to blame for the Gaza war? Which side is to blame for it? Is this type of question to be answered by a philosopher? Or maybe by a preacher or other religious person? Or perhaps by an investigative historian? Or by someone else? When science becomes born in […]
Todd Hayen Let’s take a moment to look at the agenda through the loving eyes of the “sheep-types”. In fact, let’s do away with the concept of sheep for a moment, and see those who seem to be blind as fellow citizens, fellow humans, and fellow travelers on this perilous path through life. Let’s see …
On October 28, Craig Mokhiber, the Director of the New York Office of the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, wrote to the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) in Geneva (and I here, in boldface, add a few links for documentation of some of his assertions): This will be my last official communication […]
Snap-Apple Night, painted by Daniel Maclise in 1833, shows people feasting and playing divination games on Halloween in Ireland.

This “abaya ban” is a serious violation of […]
What follows is a full repring of John Varoli’s October 16., 2023 piece on substack. It is very much a must read from this thoughtful analyst: No changes or comment from me are offered on this piece here, though it will form part of the bases of my upcoming commentary videos, save one: The video […]
I haven’t made any posts in a while, since most of what I would have to say is already wonderfully expressed by the Alexanders and many other great sources, but this time it seemed like I better say something. This new outburst of warfare is real trouble. There are unanswered questions that cannot be easily […]
NEW on Smithsonian Voices: Everyone's history matters. The #Thanksgiving story deeply rooted in America’s curriculum reduces the Wampanoag Indians to supporting roles. The true history of Thanksgiving begins with the Indians. @SmithsonianMag https://t.co/nQkI2CnLk4 pic.twitter.com/UhuksA9RGf — National Museum of the American Indian (@SmithsonianNMAI) November 23, 2017 No one will dispute that the Indigenous peoples of Turtle […]
