Ideology, Autocracy, and Dystopia |
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:27:38 +0000 |
The title of this acutely perceptive memoir is perhaps misleading: the American reader has come to expect lurid, “tell-all” biographies which spare no graphic details of the subject’s debaucheries and scandals. Some such unsavory details are of course revealed, but the author–Mao’s personal physician for the remaining 22 years of Mao’s life (1954-1976)–had a more […] The post Ideology, Autocracy, and Dystopia first appeared on Dissident Voice. |

The International Criminal Court should uphold an objective and impartial stance, respect the jurisdictional immunity enjoyed by the head of state in accordance with international law, exercise its functions and powers prudently by the law, interpret and apply international law in good faith, and avoid politicization and double standards. — Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang […] The post Commemorations of the Attack on Iraq March 20 and Libya March 19 Reaffirms that the U.S.-EU-NATO Axis of Domination Remains the Greatest Threat to International Peace on our Planet first appeared on Dissident Voice. |

What Red State vs. Blue State Looks Like to an Ant |
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 13:13:46 +0000 |
Just watching the two major parties ruthlessly claw at and attempt to malign and delegitimize each other, then seeing people now excitedly lining up on one side or the other like opposing Ninja turtle teams is both amusing and frightening. We can count on the talking heads and modern media to regurgitate a story line […] The post What Red State vs. Blue State Looks Like to an Ant first appeared on Dissident Voice. |
Imperial Visits: US Emissaries in the Pacific |
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 13:10:01 +0000 |
For some time, Washington has been losing its spunk in the Pacific. When it comes to the Pacific Islands, a number have not fallen – at least entirely – for the rhetoric that Beijing is there to take, consume, and dominate all. Nor have such countries been entirely blind to their own sharpened interests. This […] The post Imperial Visits: US Emissaries in the Pacific first appeared on Dissident Voice. |

The War Drive Against China |
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:39:21 +0000 |
When will this hate-filled nonsense stop? Surveillance balloons treated like evocations of Satan and his card-carrying followers; other innumerable unidentified phenomena that, nonetheless, remain attributable in origin, despite their designation; and then the issue of spying cranes. In the meantime, there has been much finger pointing on the culprit of COVID-19 and the global pandemic. […] The post The War Drive Against China first appeared on Dissident Voice. |
Always Wanting More |
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 14:30:09 +0000 |
“Always wanting more” is an operational definition of “hedonism.” This brief article is my “mea culpa.” Inexplicably, I overlooked hedonism per se as a trait in my “psychoscope” of the evil superpower elite in America’s corpocracy.1 In my defense, I did briefly allude to “greed” as an outgrowth of ambition. Why “Always Wanting More?” The […] The post Always Wanting More first appeared on Dissident Voice. |

Reckless Capitalist Banks Rescued by Government Socialism – Again! |
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 14:04:47 +0000 |
Once again, government socialism – ultimately backed by taxpayers – is saving reckless midsized banks and their depositors. Silicon Valley Bank (S.V.B) and Signature Bank in New York greedily mismanaged their risk levels and had to be closed down. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), in return, to avoid a bank panic and a run […] The post Reckless Capitalist Banks Rescued by Government Socialism – Again! first appeared on Dissident Voice. |

Harriet Tubman Exposed as Vicious Anti-Semite |
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 13:00:49 +0000 |
Plans to put Underground Railroad hero Harriet Tubman on the U.S. $20 bill have been permanently shelved due to her recently uncovered lifelong anti-Semitism, announced Fox Abramson of the Anti-Defamation League. “It’s incredibly bad judgment that she was ever even considered as a candidate,” Abramson complained. “They called her ‘Moses’ but she didn’t lift a […] The post Harriet Tubman Exposed as Vicious Anti-Semite first appeared on Dissident Voice. |
Patriotism and Sinophobia |
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 16:00:57 +0000 |
People such as former US military men like Scott Ritter and Douglas MacGregor provide excellent analysis on the geopolitics and warring in Ukraine. Ritter and McGregor are two Americans apparently able to relay a perspective based on their own take of a situation, a take independent of government pronouncements and home media reports. Nonetheless, despite […] The post Patriotism and Sinophobia first appeared on Dissident Voice. |

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 15:00:32 +0000 |
Questioning Canada’s contribution to NATO’s proxy war is “hate” that must be shut down according to some Ukrainian groups mimicking Zionist organizations by promoting an identity politics laced cancel culture. A Ukrainian student group sought to cancel my talk at Kings College in London, Ontario, on Thursday.

Criminals at Large: The Iraq War Twenty Years On |
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 14:55:18 +0000 |
The arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court for Russian President Vladimir Putin came at an opportune moment. It was, if nothing else, a feeble distraction over the misdeeds and crimes of other leaders current and former. Russia, not being an ICC member country, does not acknowledge that court’s jurisdiction. Nor, for that matter, does […] The post Criminals at Large: The Iraq War Twenty Years On first appeared on Dissident Voice. |

When Australia – vassal be thy name – assumed responsibilities for not only throwing money at both US and British shipbuilders, lending up territory and naval facilities for war like a gambling drunk, and essentially asking its officials to commit seppuku for the Imperium, another task was given.

Orientation In part I of this series, following the work of Judy J. Johnson in What’s so Wrong with Being Absolutely Right: The Dangerous Nature of Dogmatic Belief, we identified dogmatism — not as the content of a particular ideology but as a process of thinking, emoting and acting. We distinguished dogmatism from fanaticism and […] The post The Causes of Dogmatism first appeared on Dissident Voice. |
