    Denial and Suppression: The Tremendous Bipartisan Agreement

    Thanks to those who stand in the face of denial and suppression. The Gaza slaughter has brought people together in a measure of strength. But it is obvious that the government is positioned and edging toward another authoritative slap-down. This is because the people aren’t going away. They’re being noisy. Bravo, over there in Dearborn.…

  • Nameless No More – 123123 Coalition Against Genocide

    Nameless No More – 123123 Coalition Against Genocide

    UPDATE: The committed realistic group that started on 123123 now has a name, Coalition Against Genocide. It’s fitting that this group has coalesced and grows as the Gaza slaughter continues, and Biden has gone far enough to call it World War III any time he chooses. Coalition Against Genocide is led by René Lichtman, whose…

    Vulnerable Democracy: Lawlessness Can Explode Into Anarchy and Chaos

    Prevailing morals and special interests are strangling our increasingly vulnerable democracy. American democracy, the light of the world, is on the ropes. Some big bad somebody has a knee on the neck of America. Is his name Clarence? Amicus briefs, (delivered by right-wing ‘friends of the court’), always readily provide the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) with…

  • The Gaza Slaughter According to a Holocaust Survivor

    The Gaza Slaughter According to a Holocaust Survivor

    The Gaza slaughter has spiraled out of control. Meanwhile, the war machine is not slowing down. Back in October, I reached out to Detroit Jewish activist Rene Lichtman, to get his take. Rene is sometimes perceived to be ‘too direct’. Rene is a child holocaust survivor, but probably more importantly, he holds an informed and…
