COMMENT

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Localism Is A Dead End; It’s All Glocal Now

The cliché “local solutions for local problems” becomes nonsensical without awareness of the planetary crises facing all of human beings. By refusing to see and deal with things as a whole, localism exacerbates of the very problems it purports to solve.

Ramzy Baroud: Gaza Ceasefire At Last - How Israel's 'First Defeat' Will Shape The Country's Future

Israel is now facing the reality of a political and military failure on a scale previously unimaginable. The material and psychological impacts of the Gaza war on Israeli society will remain, and they are likely to have irreversible consequences. These effects could potentially threaten the survival of Israel itself.

Binoy Kampmark: Pity The Poesy - Mark Rutte, NATO And Spending For War

A chief function of NATO’s public relations efforts lies in justifying its own existence. Instead of dismantling or finding more peaceful pursuits at the end of the Cold War, it became the groomed emissary of US power in Europe, while never being explicitly described as such.

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - Parliament's Annual Rituals Are Underway Again

This week, the rituals that herald the start of each Parliamentary year begin. When Parliament resumes next week, the first item of business will be the presentation of the Prime Minister’s Statement, which is supposed to set out the broad thrust of the government’s legislative plans for the year ahead.

Binoy Kampmark: Justifying The Egregious - John Howard And Spying On East Timor

The best assessment offered of this episode in Australian history comes from Galbraith: both Howard and his foreign minister, had shown themselves to be mere “shills for the corporations”. This amoral, piratical approach towards a supposedly friendly country in dire need undercut the nonsense about rules-based orders in international relations.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: The Wasted Interregnums Of Obama And Biden

Since neither Obama nor Biden was capable of speaking from the clarity, insight and passion required for meeting the psycho-spiritual crisis in the USA, both interregnums were wasted. Like all empires in the end, the United States has become a self-defeated nation. It will remain so until this darkness is disgorged from the body politic.
