Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Laughing and Lurching Towards the Collapse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tucker Carlson said that, four days before the US and Israel attacked Iran, he asked Trump of Israel’s desire to weaken its neighbors and push all US bases out of the region so the genocidal apartheid state will be Regional Hegemon, and Trump replied, : “Yes, you're right. But in the end, we all die anyway, so it doesn't matter.” Such is the logic of capitalism. It turns nature—including human beings—into commodities and then transforms commodities into profits. Community and ethics have no plac
Is Abdul El-Sayed the Next Obama? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve always found Doctor Abdul El-Sayed too good to be true. He has some great rhetoric, is at ease with reporters, and can think on his feet. He was swept to the Democratic nomination to be the next US Senator from Michigan by his civilized stand against the abomination of Zionism, and simply by being a much better candidate than any of his Democrat rivals. Although establishment Democrats like Chuck Schumer initially supported his opponent, that ancient Zionist swiftly spun to endorse Al-Sayed

Read excerpt
President Xi of China got the red carpet treatment when he and his wife landed in Washington for a state dinner in the tacky Goldleaf House that used to be White.

In fact, she looks a lot like the nice herbology lady down the street. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!1vQu!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpubli

Read excerpt
Ansar al-Allah, or the Houthis, captured the Yemeni port of Mocha after Saudi and Saudi-backed forces collapsed. Fun fact: Mocha coffee is named after this city. It’s where the coffee trade started. Yemen’s also been around for a very long time. Our Mad Emperor went to Dallas for a “Trumpalooza” Republican midterm convention, and told a lot of empty seats he would <a href="https://news.antiwar.com/2026/09/10/trump-says-if-iran
Reflections from the Heart of the Empire: Warning Signs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Volkswagen is about to give 100,000 employees the boot very soon, and in even better news, promises to fire 50,000 more by 2030. Merz’s neoliberal/social democrat coalition is bound to win elections now! Personally, he reminds me of the Killer Rabbit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Obg6!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.
