In a November 2023 event at the Reagan Library’s “Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away” exhibition, 95-year-old Holocaust survivor David Lenga spoke with Ariel Ein-Gal, an Israeli who had survived the October 7 Hamas attack just seven weeks earlier. Lenga spoke of his childhood in Poland, followed by the horrors of Nazi labor and concentration camps that he endured. Ein-Gal, who had been camping with friends in the early hours of October 7, described waking up on Zikim Beach to the sounds of explosions, gunfire, and bullets hitting the sand around them like in the movies. They fled for their lives,…
Chris Walker Truthout This article was originally published by Truthout For some of the inquiries, “there was little to no factual predicate justifying opening them,” the complaint states. A whistleblower complaint submitted to Congress this week alleges that Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations into supposed instances of antisemitism at Ivy League universities were done so for political reasons, as the Trump administration sought to compel schools into agreeing to settlements that involved changing their policies. The complaint from former DOJ attorney Haley Van Erem, who worked for nearly a decade at the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, was formally given to the…
In the last few decades our understanding of human evolution has expanded considerably. We have identified numerous new species, fleshing out a complex branching bush of relationships among early humans. But these discoveries have also caused a problem – our taxonomical naming convention for all these species is basically broken. That is the argument made by paleontologist Ian Towle in a provocative paper – Clades, Grades, and the Genus Problem: A Case for Revising Hominin Taxonomy. Let me lay out the problem before I discuss his proposed solution. There are basically two layers to the problem – the first is a…

Robert Jensen ScheerPost Book Excerpt for This I Don’t Believe: A Fulfilling Life without Meaning John Stuart Mill long ago warned that when we are so certain of the truth of an idea that we reject discussion, that idea—even if it is true—“will be held as a dead dogma, not a living truth.” After nearly seven decades on Earth, I can see that at various times I gave in to that temptation. As I age, I hope I’m getting better at recognizing that most everything is debatable. But in those decades, I’ve often been too cocky. The first, and…

In announcing the latest FBI annual report on nationwide crime, President Donald Trump wrongly cast the decline in crime in 2025 as a dramatic turnaround and made misleading claims about the impact of his administration’s policies. Speaking to an audience of law enforcement officers at the Nassau County Police Academy on Aug. 14, Trump said that his speech was meant to “celebrate the historic progress our administration is making, together with law enforcement partners nationwide to restore law and order in America.” The FBI that day released data collected from local law enforcement agencies showing that both violent and property…
Leaked emails reveal Britain’s domestic spying service attempted to recruit a high-ranking BBC board member as a key agent of influence, at a time when the British state broadcaster was embroiled in a bitter legal and journalistic battle with MI5. Kit Klarenberg Grayzone This June, British oligarch Damon Buffini stepped down as deputy chair of the BBC’s board, and chair of the broadcaster’s commercial board. His four year tenure was warmly praised by the BBC board’s chair for the “record profits” generated by the broadcaster’s commercial wings. While mainstream reports on Buffini’s time at the BBC reference his background at the upper echelons of private equity…
The vastness of the American Empire is built upon a mountain of civilian corpses and an ocean of innocent blood. Despite historical revisionism to the contrary, US imperialism remains the greatest threat to world peace. It is an anniversary that almost goes unacknowledged in today’s day and age. One that, at nearly a century old, is fading further into memory while the consequences of it have left lasting scars on human history. 81 years ago this week, on August 6th and 9th of 1945, the United States government would carry out the most heinous and life altering act of terrorism the…
