Germany in Crisis Part 2: A Short History of Exploding Gas Pipelines
• April 21, 2025
• 5,100 Words • 14 Comments • Reply
This is the second of four reports on Germany’s various crises, the history that produced them and how Germans, other than the neoliberal elites who now hold power, think about their way forward. Part 1 of this series is here. POTSDAM—A single, brief phrase always comes to mind when I think of Germany. Whatever may... Read More

Trump vs. the Deep State

This is the first of two commentaries examining what the writer reads as President Trump’s unfolding offensive against the institutions and agencies comprising the deep state — or, if you prefer, the administrative state or the permanent state or the invisible government. The second in this series will follow shortly. Wow. In a series of... Read More

American-Century Fight

I have long nursed a keen interest in the Cold War’s corruptions on the cultural side — who the perpetrators and who the victims and what they did in each case. I was riveted, then, when OR Books brought out Joel Whitney’s first book, Finks: How the C.I.A. Tricked the World’s Best Writers, in 2017.... Read More
Imperium: Decline on the Way to Fall

I just read a most remarkable piece in The Seattle Times—remarkable for its bluntly nihilistic candor. The headline atop Ron Judd’s August 2021 essay for The Times’s Pacific NW Magazine gives a good idea of the writer’s point: “The decline of American civilization.” And the subhead: “There’s more bad TV than ever; it’s available everywhere;...

The Crucifixion of Julian Assange

British courts for five years have dragged out Julian Assange's show trial. He continues to be denied due process as his physical and mental health deteriorates. This is the point. Prosecutors representing the United States, whether by design or incompetence, refused — in the two-day hearing I attended in London in February — to provide... Read More

The CIA in Ukraine — the NY Times Gets a Guided Tour
• February 29, 2024
• 2,800 Words • 108 Comments • Reply
If you have paid attention to what various polls and officials in the U.S. and elsewhere in the West have been doing and saying about Ukraine lately, you know the look and sound of desperation. You would be desperate, too, if you were making a case for a war Ukrainians are on the brink of... Read More
CIA in Ukraine

Did The New York Times publish its “The Spy War: How the CIA Secretly Helps Ukraine Fight Putin” piece to reveal government secrets in the public’s interest? Or was it to convince Americans that “Now these intelligence networks are more important than ever?" The New York Times on February 25 published an explosive story of... Read More
