Genocide is Psychopathy

Kim Petersen: Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau declares, “I am a Zionist.” Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a particular group. When it is your country, your troops, your government and its officials committing genocide, many people will stubbornly refuse to acknowledge such a fact. Such is the propagandic effect of patriotism that it erodes […]

Tulsi Gabbard: Another Lesser Evilist Offering

Kim Petersen: On 20 June 2025, Galloway spoke about his dream team for the next presidential race: "Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, president and vice president of the United States of America."

He advised Gabbard to "resign if Trump joins the war and should make plain that she intends to run for president." She hasn't.

Given the public rebukes of her by Donald Trump, speculation had emerged of her doing just that: resigning. However, Gabbard has instead attempted to win her way back into Trump's good book.
