Iran war: A Grand Imperial Fantasy? | Vanessa Beeley, The Last American Vagabond & Myriam Charabaty by vanessa beeleyRead on Substack We all sit down with BettBeat Media to add invaluable context to the genocidal project in West Asia and Persia, led by Washington and the Zionist cult, with British puppeteers in the shadows. We discuss the portrayal of the wars for survival in this region from Western outlets, the lack of cultural perspective and civilisational understanding with some of the conclusions being reached. This was an open minded debate from people who are on the same page but who disagree on…
The chief judge of the D.C. district court just won back-to-back writs of mandamus, a rare feat. No green jacket but rather another black mark for Judge James Boasberg. Source link
Sen. Mike Lee (R–Utah) wrote in a social media post Wednesday that an employee at a federal prison hung up on him when he called to check on the health of an incarcerated man. Lee’s experience is a particularly pointed example of an issue that families and criminal justice advocacy groups have complained about for years: It’s next to impossible to get information about inmates’ health from the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), and the agency frequently fails to notify families when their incarcerated loved ones are sick or even dying. This cruelty led lawmakers in Congress to introduce legislation…

Former Rep. Madison Cawthorn –who resigned after accusations of ” sexually aggressive behavior” in 2020– told Jack Posobiec on RAV’s “Human Events” that “honeytrapping” and blackmail are very common in Congress. JACK POSOBIEC: What’s it like—you’re in Congress, and then you get invited to something like this, you hear about this. What’s the reputation of these types of things? How does it start?MADISON CAWTHORN: Normally, the way I found that these things start getting off the ground is that it starts out—you’re maybe at a donor dinner or getting dinner after a late night of votes. Then, you know, everyone…

An unrelenting winter and circumstance dictated a most uncustomary form of interview with Gay Talese: a phone call. Another ice storm in New York kept Talese in his Upper East Side townhouse, where he first occupied a bachelor pad as a New York Times reporter at 26 and then bought the whole property with his wife, Nan, by 1973, when he was a writer – and subject – at Esquire. On a January late afternoon, when the call arrived, Talese was pushing 95, and I was in Pennsylvania, laid up on crutches and recovering from a knee injury. There was…
The American empire appears to be in retreat. Humiliated by Russia in Eastern Europe, outmaneuvered by China in East Asia, and bogged down in a conflict with Iran in the Middle East, the United States has turned its gaze southward. Unable to win the great power competition across Eurasia, the Trump administration has increasingly embarked on the most aggressive militarization of Latin America policy in a generation, seeking victories in what Washington has long considered its backyard. The result has been what observers are calling the Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, a framework that envisions the Western Hemisphere as…
Still from The Matrix. Are The Terminator, The Matrix and other such films entertainment, or are they prophecy? With the fast progress of artificial intelligence over the last few years, that’s become a real question of real concern to real people. Out at the edges of the opinion bell curve, we have “doomers” on one end and extreme “optimists” on the other. The former warn us that AI will eventually supersede humankind, quite possibly enslaving, or even exterminating, us because it won’t like us (or maybe just won’t care about us either way) and because it will be able to…
