Gaza and the Anglo-Saxon Colonial Nightmare: Tony Blair, the GITA, and Imperialism’s Humanitarian Charade

Gaza and the Anglo-Saxon Colonial Nightmare: Tony Blair, the GITA, and Imperialism’s Humanitarian Charade

By Ron Jacobs One of the most powerful conversations I've had this century took place in Washington Square in New York City on September 11, 2001—as the sky bore the acrid scent of a world that had just turned upside down. My friend and I were there, stunned, in the midst of the collective shock. A few blocks away, smoking concrete, flames, rubble: the material embodiment of a global trauma. Within earshot, a group of young people were discussing. One of them asked, "What should we do with the perpetrators?" I replied, "Find them, arrest them, try them." Another retorted…

Trump and the Epstein Case: A Diabolical Scandal

Trump and the Epstein Case: A Diabolical Scandal

The Jeffrey Epstein affair is a descent into hell, a shattered mirror revealing the rottenness of the powerful. Donald Trump, far from being a stranger to this world, is mired in it up to his neck. In the 1990s and 2000s, he paraded alongside Epstein, laughing at his wedding, appearing at lavish parties, and boarding the sinister "Lolita Express," the jet where luxury and perversion intertwine. This closeness is not an anecdote: it is an indelible stain. How can a man who drapes himself in the toga of the popular savior consort with a monster like Epstein? This question haunts,…

Behind the Veil of Ceasefire: Decoding Trump’s Betrayal of Palestinian Rights

Only a cursory look at Trump's Gaza plan, revealed during his summit with the Israeli Prime Minister at the White House on Monday, indicates that the Israelis have not yet achieved their military objectives after more than two years of bloodshed and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. In fact, both Trump and Netanyahu seek to seize control of Gaza and totally eradicate Hamas under the guise of "ceasefire". Following the anticipated meeting between Trump and Netanyahu, characterised as "efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza", both parties made remarks literally irrelevant to ceasefire or peace initiatives. Trump's outlined proposal stipulates the release…

Scapegoating Immigrants: Trump’s Full-Scale Assault on Our Civil Liberties and Democracy

Scapegoating Immigrants: Trump’s Full-Scale Assault on Our Civil Liberties and Democracy

In the midst of massive displays of support and solidarity with immigrant communities, Donald Trump escalated tensions by sending over 4,100 National Guard members—700 of whom were newly deployed—to Los Angeles, accommodated without proper food or resting facilities. Their arrival marks the first such deployment since 1965, executed without a gubernatorial mandate. The move prompts a critical question: at what point does the military's presence on American soil evolve from safeguarding public security to signalling dictatorship? Trump contends that the so-called “Radical Left” incites protests that threaten public order. Yet an impartial examination reveals the militarisation far exceeds a typical…

Trump’s Tax Cuts: Policies That Favor That 1% Over Rest of Us

Trump’s Tax Cuts: Policies That Favor That 1% Over Rest of Us

President Trump has proposed a novel idea for "wealthy patriots"—positing that wealth can stimulate economic growth. He says these people will protect the country's finances, but this is not true. But behind this economic facade is a strange doctrine that doesn't fix problems but worsens them, leaving communities full of despair. Although his ideas suggest prosperity, the reality remains a perilous cycle of socio-economic decline. Trump shows his populist power by protecting the rich from responsibilities and framing dissent as a threat to national loyalty. These kinds of actions seem ridiculous and go against the principles of democracy. They are…
