Israel: Fighting Six Wars, Plus One: A Civil War This column begins with a list/summary of the "Six Wars" that Israel is currently fighting, as described by the long-time Israel/Middle East correspondent/commentator, Tom Friedman. After describing the current facts-on-the-ground vis-a-vis Gaza-Plus, I go on to describe a seventh war for Israel, which may well occur if there is no change in the national government's policies towards the Arab peoples, domestic and foreign.

The COVID-19 Epidemic and the Disastrous Federal Government Response: It Ain't Just Trump Trump has been characterizing the oncoming COVID-19 epidemic as some combination of Obama's fault, a Democratic hoax and/or re-run of impeachment, and etc. In particular there has been a major gap in testing. Some speculate that that relates to Trump's concerns about his re-election chances. But there has also been traditional modern Repub. resistance to "big government." This column explores the relationship.

The U.S. Ruling Class and the Republo-fascist Party Republo-fascism is being commented on/analyzed by an increasing number of authorities. Perhaps less commented on is how the U.S. ruling class is served by the Republican Party, and how it is dealing with increasing urgency with the oncoming demographic changes in the U.S. population, which might well undercut its current control of the electoral system. This column considers the growing influence of Republo-fascism.

"Trump: The 'Shift' and the Ruling Class" Since he became the minority President, Trump has clearly changed course, on many of his important issues, especially those central to the interests of the economically dominant sector of the ruling class. This column outlines the essential elements of the "Trump Shift."

The Galli-"Christianity Today" Controversy Recently, Mark Galli, the retiring editor of journal "Christianity Today," wrote an editorial for his personal dishonesty and immorality. He was immediately laid into by what is apparently the rest of the leadership of the Evangelical Right, saying "how dare you say this about our [maximum] leader?" Mr. Galli has come for much praise. But did he dissociate himself from the doctrines? Hardly. That is what this column is about.

Maria Bartiromo and the "Moral Imperative" of Capitalism Maria Bartiromo tells us that there is a "moral imperative" underlying capitalism, especially in contrast to "socialism," even Bernie Sanders' "democratic socialism" (otherwise known as The New Deal on Steroids.) Ms. Bartiromo (and every other similar apologist for capitalism and its destructive forces), I just wonder how you square that circle.

A Secular Humanist Jew's Thoughts on Yom Kippur: On Atheism and Theism, and on Religion and Organized Religion Being some reflections on the Jewish High Holy Day written after attending the Kol Nidre service at the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in London this past month. The sermon was given by the congregation's retired Chief Rabbi, David Goldberg. Two years ago I heard him give a sermon at Kol Nidre service which he began with a modification of a quote from the English historian A.J. Toynbee: "I don't believe in God; but I miss him."

Trump Welshes on the 'Iran Deal.' Why?" Trump's foreign policy often seems governed by what he said on the campaign trail. There was even less thinking-through-of-a-problem and coming-up-with-some-rational-solution to it than there is in his Administration. And so, one of Trumps' repeated ringing statements, which he applied liberally to just about any Obama-Administration initiative he could bring into play, over-and-over again, was what a terrible Deal it was.

The Democratic Party's "Far Left" Used to be Considered Just Common Sense It is common, even among his critics other than the Tea Party folk to separate President Obama from that "Far Left." Indeed the President has been receiving much applause over the last six weeks from the self-styled Republican morning TV talk show host Joe Scarborough for his "move to the Center" since the election. I guess that Joe didn't notice that for the most part, Obama has pretty well been there. So what's "Far Left?"

The Suicide of Capitalism "Suicide" means, literally, killing oneself. Most often, suicide is voluntary. However, by definition, it can be involuntary as well, as in accidentally killing oneself while cleaning a loaded handgun Capitalism, the world's dominant socio-economic system, is, by its very nature of accumulation and unregulated use of natural resources, including of course carbon-based fuels in the process of killing itself.

Trump and the Trumpublicans (tm): 'Look, Over There!' Trump and the Trumpublicans (tm) are trying hard to keep the focus of "Trump crimes investigations" on the outcome of the Mueller Report, which presents tons of evidence but comes to no conclusions, and on the Assange indictment, which, with a conviction could end the free press in the U.S. as we know it --- a major Trump objective. But a major objective of these foci is to keep attention away from Trump's financial crimes.

The Three Big Lies of 2022: Two Concern the Pandemic This column reviews the "The 3 Big Lies" of Trump/COVID era: 1. "The Election as Stolen;" 2. there is some kind of forced-no-way-out mass vaccination program in the U.S.; 3. the U.S. vaccination program is like the Holocaust. The first I (and many others) have dealt with elsewhere. For the 2nd, I explain what a "mandate" is and that in practice it means requirement-for-participation. For the 3rd, I describe the Holocaust.

The Iran Deal: Who Can You Trust? There is a trust issue on the table. It's whether Iran should trust the United States to keep its pledge to lift sanctions permanently, as long as Iran keeps its end of the bargain by not pursuing nuclear weapons through a very-heavily inspected nuclear energy program.
