Vance vs. “Aliens”

Prominent American pastors are warning that President Donald Trump’s impending release of the “alien files” could destroy Christian beliefs, declaring that churches must be prepared to maintain the unity of their congregations. They claim they have been contacted by administration officials in Washington (most likely intelligence officials with a Christian worldview). At least six American […]

Sam Alito and My Friend Mickey

The Supreme Court’s shameful decision last Wednesday released a flood of memories — and worse. When I learned what Samuel Alito and the other Republican appointees to the Supreme Court did to the Voting Rights Act last week, I thought of Mickey. I met Mickey the summer after third grade. His family had rented one […]

Sam and the Mirrors

So a guy, let’s call him Sam, got so sick and tired of having the same job and living in the same house, that he decided to hit the road. In a distance he sees a very charming city on a hill. Wow, he says. That looks so promising and enticing. I want to live […]

The AI Job Apocalypse Is Already Happening

And What Democrats Should Pledge to Do About it. How can the stock market be rising to record levels while jobs and wages are going nowhere, most Americans are paying higher prices for just about everything, and consumer sentiment is in the dumps?

Why Bullies Always Fail — as Trump Is Failing

Trump’s might-makes-right lawlessness will be his downfall. If we’re not careful, it will be America’s as well. Trump’s domestic and foreign policies — ranging from his attempted coup against the United States in January 2021, to his ICE and Border Patrol excesses (including murders in Minnesota), to his incursion into Venezuela and abduction of its […]

About Mass Protests in the US

They say that 3 or even all 6 million people took to the streets against Trump’s policies. The organizers of the No Kings protest write on their website about an “illegal, catastrophic war” that threatens Americans. “This is America, and power belongs to the people, not to king-puppets or their billionaire buddies,” the statement reads.

Memories of Vietnam: Lies, Arrogance, and Stupidity

This is starting to feel a lot like the Vietnam War. This morning, Iran shot down a U.S. F-15E fighter jet over Iran, according to U.S. and Israeli officials. The fate of the plane’s crew is unclear. American officials are scrambling to mount a search and rescue operation. Anyone recall that this was how the […]

Recently, the White House eased sanctions against Belarus. On March 26, the US Treasury issued a general license for operations with “Belinvestbank”, lifted sanctions against the Belarusian Ministry of Finance and the “Development Bank”, as well as the major state corporations “Belaruskali” and “Agroazot”.

Perennial Relevance of Dostoevsky

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament. Only in the eyes of the extremely naïve thinkers — doesn’t matter if they come from the right, left or center the issues that face modern day materialistic capitalist societies can be quantified, computerized, and resolved. For the […]

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance. We expect a monster, but we get an abyss of charisma, the “gold standard” of cinematic noir, which is impossible (and, honestly, one does not […]

“Demons”: Film Adaptation or Interpretation?

Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]

This is very, VERY sad news. I don’t want to exaggerate or draw premature conclusions, but this turn of events in the film industry is, to put it mildly, frightening and shocking.
