THE UNITED NATIONS special rapporteur on counterterrorism and human rights, Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, published an exhaustive investigation this week into human rights abuses at Guantánamo Bay. Following a historic visit to the detention center and interviews with current and former detainees, victims of the 9/11 attacks, and human rights lawyers, the report details delayed justice for the victims of terrorist attacks and ongoing injustice for the victims of torture. At the core of the report is the problem of inexplicable indefinite detention. “Arbitrariness pervades the entirety of the Guantánamo detention infrastructure — rendering detainees vulnerable ...

Was Prigozhin’s Rebellion Live or Memorex?

After this weekend’s whirlwind events in Russia we’re left with a lot more questions than answers about what happened with Wagner Group’s Yevgeny Prigozhin’s abortive rebellion against Moscow. I’m not here to answer any of those questions definitively because we’ll never really know. That said, if what I think happened is anything close to the truth then this may be one of the greatest non-battlefield victories in modern history. Click for Full Text!

It's quite a tour-de-force you've managed! There are 48 articles on the front page of this site; 47 are yours. One, replete with characteristic misspellings, is by BorisX (or is it BoRisX now?) So, I see you busily working away posting articles here, and it makes me wonder. Several people used to post on this site. To call them "right wing" would be an understatement. Now, it seems to be almost entirely you. You post, and post, and post, to no audience, day after day. What you post has an identifiable ideological cant to it, but the persistence of it is what is notable, and makes me wonder: are you a bot? Probably you are, so the remainder of this post will be the ...
Russia Crises Reveals Cracks in Putin ~ Blinken

An armed insurrection that came and went in Moscow. Prigozhin has been transferred to Belarus. There are four possibilities of that outcome: 1) he leads a combined Belarus/Wagner front and center insurgency against Kyiv that could potentially end the war, 2) he is replaced and executed for treason. 3) Prigozhin and Putin played the CIA with Prigozhin as the double agent demanding $6.2 billion to take out Putin. 4) drugs. Everyone and their third cousin have brought forth their detailed description of Putin’s most innermost character, thoughts, and emotions – including the US intelligence apparatus en-masse. While the US press cartel has revealed that according to unnamed sources ...

The situation can only be considered urgent as Ukraine has now made their full intentions crystal clear. If before we suspected with high confidence, now it is plain fact. They intend to destroy the ZNPP plant as a last ditch attempt to ‘activate NATO’ by blaming Russia. A completely coordinated campaign over the last few days has affirmed this. Not only was Budanov’s maiden speech after reappearing from his Kalibrated cranial trepanation centered on Russia’s alleged ‘mining of the ZNPP’ basement, but now several new instances of highly coordinated messaging have been released by Ukraine and its Western controllers.

George Santos, the Republican representative from New York’s 3rd Congressional District, pleaded not guilty to the 13 charges brought by U.S. Attorney Breon Peace. The House Ethics Committee’s subcommittee charged specifically with investigating Santos made its first move to investigate the grifter from New York in March. Last Thursday that committee expanded the long list of charges it’s investigating to include one more act of fraud: Santos allegedly filed for unemployment benefits while working.

Until we reach that point of social transformation, we're passengers on a ship of state doomed by rampant, systemic corruption and the collapse of moral standards and the rule of law. Political corruption isn't hard to define: confidentially leveraging the power of one's position in the State for private gain. This covers the spectrum of using State power for personal gain from freebies, bribes, sweetheart deals, obtaining insider information, revolving doors between private sector and state positions, influence-peddling, selling tax breaks, subsidies, permits, etc., bloated speaking fees and so on, in a nearly limitless profusion of private financial gains generated solely by ...

Once-glistening Hollywood is now a hotbed of sexual predators and occultists, so political activist and pro-life advocate Randall Terry decided he had had enough.

Members of Congress are seeking to enact legislation that would repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which has been used to unconstitutionally mire the United States in several foreign military conflicts. S. 1872, the “End Endless Wars Act,” is sponsored by U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and cosponsored by Senators Mike Lee (R-Utah), J.D. Vance (R- Ohio), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.). If enacted, this bill would repeal the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), enacted by Congress one week after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Click for Full Text!
Feds, With Assist From ACLU, Try to Punish Mortgage Company for Comments on Chicago Crime

The federal government is suing a small Chicago mortgage company over its employees’ public remarks on the safety of certain areas of the city, effectively trying to censor disfavored opinions — and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), self-styled defender of the First Amendment, is siding with the government. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), began investigating Townstone Financial in 2017 over alleged civil-rights violations. Three years later, the agency sued Townstone. Click for Full Text!

An Idaho woman, who said she left the "MAGA cult" and pleaded guilty to her involvement in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol siege, told Newsweek that she wants former President Donald Trump and other Republicans to stop using her as "propaganda." Pam Hemphill, a 70-year-old Boise, Idaho, resident who was sentenced to 60 days in jail, 36 months of probation and fined $500 in restitution for her connection to the riots, called out the MAGA leader over a Sunday night post on his Truth Social platform where he appeared to be lamenting her punishment. Hemphill shot back, saying that she chose to plead guilty because she was. Click for Full Text!

Daniel Ellsberg Was Right. So Are Assange and Snowden.

Daniel Ellsberg died on June 16, and he remains one of the nation's most prominent whistleblowers who leaked secret government information to the public. Upon his death the general consensus among the writers of memorials for Ellsberg was that he was right to leak government secrets. As the editorial board at The Orange County Register recently put it, he was "a true American hero." They're right about Ellsberg. During the Vietnam War, through his release of the so-called Pentagon Papers in 1971, Ellsberg made public a large trove of secret government documents that exposed many of the Federal government's lies about its involvement throughout Indochina. Much of the ...
“Close to the Earth”: What America Can Learn From Irish Culture
Post Date: 2023-06-27 17:49:40 by Charles_Byrd

"The average autochthonous Irishman is close to patriotism because he is close to the earth; he is close to domesticity because he is close to the earth; he is close to doctrinal theology and elaborate ritual because he is close to the earth. In short, he is close to the heavens because he is close to the earth." G.K. Chesterton wrote this in his book on George Bernard Shaw, and, as usual, the English writer hit at the essence of his subject with just a few words. I was recently in Ireland, and one of the things that struck me most during my visit was the centrality of the landscape. Click for Full Text!

Air travel today might be considered the triumph of individualism. It involves people in their own bubbles rushing to destinations with little human contact. It is a case of Hobbes’ “every man against every man” as all travelers compete with each other to navigate inside the lonely crowd. All think about themselves in a climate that can quickly degenerate into selfishness and unruliness whenever obstacles threaten personal comfort and agendas. Thus, except for travel companions, most people block others out. Air travel has become a sterile anti-social experience. Despite numerous occasions for interactions and close proximity with fellow travelers, most trips are boring and ...

According to a report from The New York Times, US intelligence officials briefed senior military and Biden administration officials on Wednesday about Prigozhin’s plans. The report said congressional leaders were briefed on the plot on Thursday, which was also reported by CNN. Click for Full Text!
