COMMENT

Eugene Doyle: BBC Goes Full Goebbels In Support Of Israeli Soccer Hooligans

The BBC has proven itself to be an outrageously false & misleading outlet, peddling anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian propaganda dressed up as concern over anti-semitism. It has desecrated the memory of real victims – and most importantly it has shredded its credibility as a gold standard of reporting. Goebbels would be impressed.

Binoy Kampmark: They Were There First - Election Denialism, The Democratic Way

Instead of vanishing as aberrant over the Biden years, Trumpism has come home to roost in winning, not only the Electoral College but the majority vote by convincing margins.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Self-knowing Is The Gateway To Liberation And Transmutation

A revolution in consciousness may happen in the near future, or take hundreds of years, but it is essential if humanity is to survive and live in basic harmony with the earth and universe.

Alastair Thompson: Google's Support For Democracy And Media In NZ | Part 1 - The Digital Media Bargaining Bill, NZME, STUFF & Google

The survival of NZ independent Media in NZ including publications like Scoop.co.nz is endangered by the conduct of Stuff and their continuing efforts to extort money from Google via the Digital Media Bargaining Bill. Commercially the situation for all news media in NZ is dire and has been for years, but the Digital Media Bargaining Bill is threatening to make things a lot worse.

Binoy Kampmark: The Remembrance Day Amnesia Racket

The statement here is not “lest we forget” but “what should be remembered?” Corpses are only memorable if they are useful. The fallen serve as bricks and masonry for the next slaughter, engineered by war criminals, the negligent and the incompetent.

Gordon Campbell: On The Crown’s Sorry Excuse For An Apology

Without disclosing the size and formula of the monetary compensation that the government is prepared to offer to those abused while in state care, a mere apology verges on being another form of abuse.
