Charlie Chaplin: a Stark Contrast to Hypocrite Donald Trump
By Sally Dugman
This proactive Palestinian Pulverizers of humans, D. Trump who is indirectly responsible for the deaths of many thousands of Palestinian people of all ages, has no standing to say something like this utterly stupid statement about Putin:
Trump said Friday he was "very unhappy" about his telephone call with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, saying: "He wants to go all the way, just keep killing people, it's no good".
Does he really think that we, the populous who watch his eagerly gifted Israeli and Ukrainian slated bombs be used to tear apart people of all ages, all can’t see through his own hoodwinking, murderous double standards? Does he automatically think that we don’t see where our hard earned U.S. tax dollars are going? If so, he’s an even worse conniving and manipulative moron than I initially thought!
From Declaration to Protestation: Reclaiming the Republic from the Empire Within
Tracy Turner
When the Republic Betrays, the Body Must Answer
Protest is not a right—it is a judgment passed upon power. A corrupt state standing above law and beyond justice forfeits its legitimacy, and we, the people, are compelled to answer—not with hashtags, not with op-eds, but with flesh. To stand inert while tyranny marches is not neutrality—it is treason by silence.
The body is the one language tyranny cannot mistranslate. It cannot be censored, throttled, or downranked. It does not seek retweets. It shouts in the town square and bleeds in the streets. It is the sacred site of resistance, where injustice is forced to confront the human soul it seeks to crush. A government whose sins are digitalized must face what it cannot digitize: our physical refusal.
Draft of the Declaration of Independence – 2025
Tracy Turner
The Reclamation of the Republic
When, in the Course of human events, it shall become absolutely necessary for the People to dissolve the political ties which have united them to a government that has betrayed its trust to obtain their liberties, a reverence for the sentiments of mankind demands that they should give the causes which compel them to reassert their natural rights.
It is the People who hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights—among these, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is the People who, to secure these rights, institute Governments, deriving their just powers solely from the consent of the governed. And it is the People who, when any Government becomes destructive of these ends, not only have the Right but also the Duty to alter or abolish it and to establish new safeguards for their future security.
Harvesting Ruin: Civilization’s Slow Suicide by Extraction
Tracy Turner
I. Introduction: The Timebombs We Ignore
"Not with a bang but a bureaucratic shrug, the world ends."
- Revisionist reading of Eliot by the Anthropocene
There are catastrophes that arrive like earthquakes-abrupt, televised, unambiguous. Then there are those that slide silently beneath our notice, unfolding over decades, across disciplines, in ways that defy political attention spans and the quarterly gaze of markets. These are slow-motion extinction-level events-or SMELEs-a term not yet standardized in academic taxonomies but increasingly indispensable to those confronting the cumulative collapse of Earth systems.
A SMELE is not a single event but a chronic, compounding process that pushes biophysical thresholds past recoverable states. Unlike the cinematic notion of apocalypse-volcanoes erupting, cities vanishing overnight-SMELEs are civilization-threatening trajectories masked by their own inertia. Climate shifts by tenths of degrees. Oceans acidify imperceptibly. Soil ceases to yield. Life disappears, quietly.
The Impeachment Problem
By David Swanson
I wish U.S. academics would spend less time fantasizing choices between various murders with trollies, or playing games with theories about how greedy robots might do diplomacy, and more time on the impeachment problem.
The United States has an impeachment problem. Impeachment was put into a Constitution that made no mention of, allowance for, or plans to survive the existence of political parties. Presidents are now generally not impeached for any abuse or outrage unless there is one party that doesn’t itself engage in that same abuse or outrage and that party is in the majority in the House. The use of a sex scandal for the impeachment of Bill Clinton was part of the process of destroying the impeachment power, but we’re now probably past sex scandals, for better or worse. We’re reduced to obscure or even fictional offenses, or physical attacks on Congress Members. And even those can be impeachable only when the non-presidential party has a House majority. And even then, the same party would have to have a two-thirds majority in the Senate to get a conviction, since a president’s party’s members will do virtually anything a president commands.
Trump’s Big Bodacious Pill: A Poison Pill for Democracy
Cathy Smith
Hidden Bombshells in Trump’s “Big Bodacious Pill”
“The most dangerous place to be is between power and its reckoning.”
—Rewritten maxim of Beltway survival
In the dark guts of Trump’s 2025 legislative monolith—cheekily christened the Big Bodacious Pill by sycophantic media outlets—lurks a pharmacopoeia of policy poisons whose long-term effects may prove more lethal than a failed pandemic response. Pitched as a “freedom-first reform package,” this deceptively branded mega-bill is not merely a fiscal statement. It is a manifesto of annihilation disguised as a budget.
Whereas previous administrations etched their cruelty in explicit policy or wartime deception, this bill cloaks its deadliest intentions in footnotes, fiscal jargon, and buried statutory provisions. Its ambition is not just ideological—but existential. What appears at first as a routine omnibus bill contains embedded time bombs that could unravel constitutional guardrails, institutional protections, and the biological viability of the working poor.
Profits and Poison: The Pseudoscience Killing Millions
Robert David
A global exposé of how corporations distort science, erase truth, and turn human death into quarterly growth.
I. Introduction: When Truth Becomes a Liability
In an age when algorithms dictate belief and lobbyists author legislation, truth itself has become a controlled substance. The modern multinational corporation no longer merely markets deception—it manufactures consensus. Beneath the polished veneer of public relations campaigns and peer-reviewed façades lies a ruthless calculus: that human suffering is profitable, and scientific integrity is for sale.
The overpowering industrial empires of the twenty-first century—pharmaceutical conglomerates, petrochemical behemoths, agrochemical giants—do not simply deny evidence; they engineer alternate realities. These are not lapses in regulatory oversight, nor isolated ethical breaches; they are symptoms of a deliberately constructed system where science is not discovered—it is commissioned. Their “findings” happen to be profitable, convenient, quick and deadly.
How PR Firms Delete the Evidence of Environmental Crimes—Then Blame the Victims
Robert David
Polluters don’t just dump toxins. They dump stories—engineered by billion-dollar PR firms.
They Poisoned the Planet—Then Hired Spin Doctors to Make You Forget
When a chemical spill poisons a town, when a pipeline ruptures in a fireball, when a refinery’s exhaust leads to childhood leukemia—the catastrophe is not accidental. It is logistical. The spill, the leak, the cancer cluster—these are the externalities of an engineered calculus where human life is expendable, but reputation is not.
Behind every ecological crime scene is a constellation of public relations firms, brand protection consultants, litigation deflectors, and "strategic communication specialists" whose task is not to repair the damage, but to erase it from memory. They do not merely manage the narrative—they construct a counter-narrative so aggressively curated that the victims themselves are often blamed, pathologized, or pathologized into silence.
This is The Corporate Erasure Machine—a metastasized apparatus of elite information control, built not to win debates but to bury causality. It is the reason DuPont could pollute an entire watershed with PFOA, lie to regulators, and then mount a media campaign implying the chemical was safer than table salt (Rich, 2016). It is the reason Chevron spent over $2 billion to surveil, harass, and ultimately jail a lawyer who held them accountable for their toxic legacy in the Ecuadorian Amazon (Lerner, 2020). And it is why, to this day, most Americans have never heard of the 40,000-plus documented “sacrifice zones” where pollution-related illness and premature death are normalized (Hedges & Sacco, 2012).
The Radical Wisdom of Neutrality
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War
Switzerland got that way through NEUTRALITY
I grew up in a town in the United States that was built from nothing in the 1960s around an artificial lake with — in the lake — a fountain modeled on the fountain in Geneva. Yesterday I saw the fountain in Geneva for the first time, and felt at home.
I also feel at home with neutrality.
I think another word for neutrality is blindness.
Not in the sense that if you are for neutrality you are blind to the imperative to join in on mass slaughter and destruction on either this side or that side.
Rather in the sense of all those statues of Lady Justice with a scale in one hand and a blindfold over her eyes — and usually a building behind her where the rich cut deals and the poor cannot, but where sometimes, in some ways, the laws of cities and states are applied equally to all without fear or favor.
FLUORIDE: DENTAL CARE OR NAZI LEGACY? Disturbing History They Hide
Fred Gransville
I. The Fluoride Question
For decades, fluoride has had an uncontested official story: it is a beneficial, even benevolent substance—vital to healthy teeth. In toothpaste tubes to water supplies, fluoride has been presented as a dental wonder, the panacea for tooth decay. But is this portrait accurate, or are we denying the evil, lesser-known side of fluoride?
Establishment sources, including Snopes (Mikkelson, 2007) and the Anti-Defamation League (ADL, 2020), immediately dispel any suggestion that fluoride was used by the Nazis as a control agent in concentration camps. Such claims are labeled "debunked conspiracy theories," thereby silencing the debate. But when explored in greater depth, the unity and scope of these official refutations begin to disintegrate. What if fluoride, rather than a benign substance, is really a poisoned weapon—a material whose history is wrapped up with coercive control, chemical warfare, and chronic health effects?
