- Novelist Rushdie Gravely Injured by Likely Non-Reading Zealot Seeking Salvation and Bounty
As I’m writing this it has been five hours since the cowardly attack on author Salman Rushdie, 75, by what almost certainly is a Islamic zealot who, motivated by the fatwah issued against Rushdie in 1989 Muslim Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, then leader of the theocratic Islamic state of Iran, stabbed him multiple times, including …

- Welcome to the Matrix: For 99.9999 percent of the human race, it may be all there ever is
I have written about how the world of human-created systems collectively constitutes an all-consuming program that is, in many ways, analogous to the Matrix in the sense that it has conditioned our worldview from top down to the micro-granular details of our lives. The only way to avoid this conditioning is to initiate out of …

- Call it the WAR PARTY
My colleague and long-time friend Dave Lindorff did it. He provoked me to rescind my vow, quite temporarily I’m hoping, to stop writing about political matters, at least directly. Dave’s desire to rename the Republican Party as the “Bad Losers Party”, and his closing remark opening others to rename the Democratic Party, motivated …

- Abortion Haiku
Another voice. Choked. Years of medical training now transformed to crime. This angry and pained haiku was offered anonymously by a physician who has courageously traveled to offer her medical skills in Texas and several other states that have been trying to outlaw abortions and where violence against clinics and abortion providers has made it …

- Julian: Let’s Take a Stand!
Julian Assange is the most important political prisoner in the world today, and we need to act in a myriad of ways to get him freed from the torturers’ prisons.

- Turning a San Francisco Recall into a Rout for Police Reform
(This article appeared first in FAIR.org, the media criticism web site) San Francisco voted on June 7 to recall its district attorney, Chesa Boudin, a reformer who had challenged the traditional “lock ’em up” policies of big-city prosecutors. The margin was initially reported as a lopsided 61%–39% landslide, in what major news media across …
