This rather bizarre article, whose essence is captured in the following satirical comment from a reader, is worth trying to decipher so as to work out: WHO is trying to do WHAT to WHOM? Here is the satirical comment: Sex, Lies and Trump Tapes says: March 8, 2026 at 8:20 pm I think I got it worked out now….Rubio said that Netanyahoo attacked Iran and that the US then immediately attacked Iran because Iran was imminently going to attack the US because Netanyahoo attacked Iran and Iran was imminently going to retaliate against the US. Does that simply mean that Netanyahoo could not be stopped by the US because Netanyahoo had already grabbed Trump by the pssy while Epstein was working for him and collecting dirt on Trump? What I can’t work out is just who the US Congress is working for given that its honourable members are going along with the show as if it were something kosher. Here is the article, comments on it, and comments on the comments https://cairnsnews.org/2026/03/07/trump-attacked-before-iran-nuked-america-saving-millions-of-lives/ The discussion between Crypto Rich and Tom Luongo is a discussion between two eccentrics, one of them (Tom Luongo) impressively conceited and self-confident and both of them clearly influenced … Continue reading

If, as it seems, the president of the United States takes orders from Israel, this makes Israel today’s arch-imperialist power, which is strange insofar as Israel apparently, alone, among history’s successive hegemonic powers, is uniquely lacking in an ideological justification with something approaching plausibility for external, and not just internal, consumption. To be God’s chosen people can surely be flattering and praiseworthy only to those who can see themselves as included in this category. Does this mean that such an imperialist power can rely only on blackmail to maintain its position? The first of the European powers to seek hegemony over the New World was Portugal, whose supremacy was quickly challenged, with the assistance of the Dutch, by Spain. Here is a timeline, presented by Robin Blackburn in his book “The Making of New World Slavery” (p.9) “The theory of empire which the Portuguese, Spanish, French, Dutch and English came to expound appealed to God-given rights, but with interesting differences of emphasis. The Portuguese emphasized their rights as “discoverers”, not so much of the land as of the sea-routes between Europe and the newly discovered coast; Portuguese captains were required to register navigational details of their discoveries as well as … Continue reading
Αν, όπως φαίνεται, ο πρόεδρος των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών λαμβάνει εντολές από το Ισραήλ, αυτόκαθιστά το Ισραήλ τη σημερινή υπεριμπεριαλιστική δύναμη, κάτι που είναι παράξενο, καθώς τοΙσραήλ, προφανώς, μόνο του, μεταξύ των διαδοχικών ηγεμονικών δυνάμεων της ιστορίας, στερείταιιδεολογικής δικαιολογίας που πλησιάζει (έστω) την ελάχιστη πειστικότητα για εξωτερική, και όχι μόνοεσωτερική, κατανάλωση. Το να είσαι ο εκλεκτός λαός του Θεού μπορεί σίγουρα να είναι κολακευτικόκαι αξιέπαινο για όσους είναι ικανοί να βάλουν τον εαυτό τους σε αυτή την κατηγορία. Αλλά για τουπόλοιπο κόσμο; Επιβάλλεται το συμπέρασμα ότι μια τέτοια δύναμη μπορεί να βασίζεται μόνο στονεκβιασμό για να διατηρήσει τη θέση της; Η πρώτη από τις ευρωπαϊκές δυνάμεις που επιδίωξε την ηγεμονία στον Νέο Κόσμο ήταν η Πορτογαλία, της οποίας η υπεροχή αμφισβητήθηκε γρήγορα, με τη βοήθεια των Ολλανδών, από την Ισπανία. Ακολουθεί ένα χρονοδιάγραμμα, που παρουσιάζεται από τον Robin Blackburn στο βιβλίο του «The Making of New World Slavery» (σ. 9) «Η θεωρία της αυτοκρατορίας που διατύπωσαν οι Πορτογάλοι, οι Ισπανοί, οι Γάλλοι, οι Ολλανδοί και οι Άγγλοι επικαλείτο τα θεόσταλτα δικαιώματα, αλλά με ενδιαφέρουσες διαφορές στην έμφαση. ΟιΠορτογάλοι (1) τόνιζαν τα δικαιώματά τους ως «ανακαλύπτες», όχι τόσο της γης όσο των θαλάσσιωνδιαδρομών μεταξύ της Ευρώπης και των νεοανακαλυφθέντων ακτών. Οι Πορτογάλοι … Continue reading
