“It’s not hard to bring out the worst in large numbers of citizens by constantly pressing their buttons; fear, hate, greed, false pride and blind loyalty are the main emotions used to manipulate people so much these last years. Reversing this process and empowering people through courage, love, generosity, humility and critical thinking is harder but it can and must be done.” -- Coleen Rowley for RootsAction; FBI whistle blower

A Signatory — or not?
Nations that enlist as signatories to uphold and abide by the International Court of Justice but then decline to support and follow judgements and arrest warrants issued by the Court should be expelled as signatories without exception.


A Word of Advice to those who need to hear.
If you have not studied the world history of humanity with an unbiased view then you will not know that past civilisations that collapsed did so because they were:

  • invaded by an aggressive force

or

  • they lacked empathy and compassion

    Civilisation as we know it today now stands on the brink.

Feeding a pariah state       printable version
09 Jun 2025: posted by the editor - Opinion

It is time for the nations of the world to unite and take concrete and meaningful action against the rogue administration of Israel.

To not do so is nothing other than weakness and cowardice.

Murder, ethnic cleansing, destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure : genocide.

All Israeli 'settlements' have been outlawed as illegal by the International Court of Justice and must be completely removed.

Dedspite the ruling, Israel continues to build its own infrastructure to support new, illegal settlements in illegal Israeli-occupied land.

Allowing a rogue pariah to continue unfettered allows that pariah to grow and threaten everyone's future.

The light triad: psychology's answer to our darkest fears about people

Are you losing faith in humanity because of everything that is going on right now? If so, that is no surprise. Our habit of "doomscrolling" convinces us that people are inherently self-centred and uncaring.

According to the American Psychological Association, many of us are suffering from What is an 'alpha' male?

The recent success of the Netflix show Adolescence has drawn attention to misogynistic rhetoric and how it spreads online. Safeline, an organisation supporting survivors of sexual abuse, has warned that terms like "high-value" and "low-value men" (also described as "alpha" and "beta" men) are being used to radicalise

How mice 'listen' with their whiskers

Oh no! You dropped your keys on the ground, and it is too dark to see them. You might have to feel the ground with your hands, but a mouse could use its whiskers to find the keys.

Mouse whiskers, also known as the vibrissa system, are long facial hairs which are sensitive to touch and allow mice to feel around their environment. As a whisker touches somethin

Trump's first term lies at the heart of escalation between Iran and Israel

The US president, Donald Trump, is weighing up whether to join Israel in attacking Iran. The fact he is even contemplating such a move is, in my opinion, a direct consequence of Elio: Disney's enjoyable new animation may be an original story - but it's also a forgettable one

In a summer cinema release schedule filled with sequels, remakes and franchise instalments, Disney's latest animation Elio is a rare original story.

Recently, much has been written and hands been wrung about the Hidden gems of LGBTQ+ cinema: celebrating the wonderful slippery queerness of Penda's Fen

Ali Khamenei was born in Mashhad, Iran, in 1939, as the second son of a local religious leader, Javad Khamenei, and he grew up in relative poverty.

He learned to read the Qur'an in early childhood before attending a theological seminary school in Mashhad. At 18, he travelled to Najaf in central Iraq to st

What ancient ice sheets can tell us about future sea level rise

When visiting Godrevy beach on the north Cornish coast, most people look out to sea at the lighthouse, surfers and seals rather than the cliffs behind. But these cliffs hold a history of past climate and sea level that is incredibly valuable to scientists like me who are trying to determine how quickly sea level is going to rise in the future.

Scramble up the slate rocks a few metres and you'll reach a flat plat

Why some elite athletes face a higher risk of developing motor neurone disease - and what we're doing about it

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a devastating condition that causes progressive muscle weakness by damaging the motor neurons, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles. These neurons allow us to move, breathe, eat and ultimately, stay alive.

Unlike many chronic conditions linked to lifestyle, where being "unhealthy" increases risk, MND doesn't follow the usual rules. In fact, some of the highest profile ca

Outsourcing cost of 'impact' data could mean 13% more bang for every charitable buck

Charitable donors often make gifts despite having little information about the organizations they support. Without relevant data, that money may not flow to the charities that evidence suggests are delivering the biggest bang for donors' bucks.

A militarily degraded Iran may turn to asymmetrical warfare - raising risk of proxy and cyber attacks

Israel's air assault on Iran has focused largely on degrading the Islamic Republic's military and would-be nuclear capabilities.

In the space of several days, Israel has totally or partially destroyed at least two nuclear sites, destroyed numerous air defense capabilities in a number

"Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae."
- Kurt Vonnegut

Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.”
John Milton

                                                     Origins of Poverty
When man came on earth he did not live in a society or hierarchy nor was he endowed with poverty. Good health, longevity, natural cheerfulness were his own even as he found himself amidst plenty. Like other species he lived or perished as the external resources permitted but he lived or perished as a group. Only when the society organised itself into a hierarchy, it was possible for one layer to exist while another persisted during times of scarcity. Organised ways of living, knowledge of all descriptions, systems created for comfort etc. interfered with the natural living of MAN in hundreds of ways. With the passing of time these stratifications of society come to stay and even create a psychology by which even the victim takes his victimization for granted. No question arises in his mind. ...

Had not the society organised itself in such a way that segments of it are protected and other segments were defenseless, MAN would have remained as MAN and would not have been bifurcated into poor and rich.

“Man was always destroying things, and beautiful things.
At the time they wouldn’t seem beautiful.
It was only afterwards that men felt pity for the things their hands had destroyed.”
