Dipple on, Ali. The US, Iran and the End of the International Order By Jussi Sinnemaa As the IAEA has repeatedly acknowledged, Iran is not in violation of any of her legal obligations as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In fact, Iran has allowed far more intrusive...

Whurz de Ali G dippeleromacy when dey need it A Path to Peace with Iran By Scott Ritter The problems that plague Washington DC on the issue of Iran are the same problems that haunt America overall regarding Iraq -- no clear understanding of why we as a nation are doing what we are doing where...

Should current British domestic legislative plans really be all that surprising, given that Britain, as junior partner to the US in all "matters of state", domestic and geo-political [increasingly, a European-based US satellite state], is simply replicating already-enacted US legislation? The...

Great, Corneilius. On the - tactical - subject of sending e-mails, letters, etc, I've found that the most effective way of getting someone to actually read a communication is still to send them a Fax. In contrast, E-mails are still, like spam, rarely read or taken seriously by anyone, while...

In your salivating, Pavlovian rush to engage in personal abuse, you not only bleakly demonstrate your inability to comprehend the points made, but you also - fatally - confirm them. And this is all you're doing ...

Yes, gek-opel, and as will soon become apparent, many of the reflexively impotent posters here prefer to aggressively defend such impotence, dismissing those who confront it, or take a serious stance on any political issue, as "arrogant", as "belligerent" or as a "pseudo-troll". It is, of...

Yes, Wrong, the ideological gain of this self-serving fantasy operation resides in the reversal of roles with regard to our actual quotidian experience of industrial disputes and strikes: it is not the workers (the "second-raters") but the capitalist elite (the "prime-movers") who go on strike...

Luka's anti-modernist fantasy home: "a humane environment and courtesy towards the past" [from Guardian rant]:

Yes, Owen, its certainly very good indeed [I somehow missed it when it was aired a number of years ago], and, far from it being a critique of psychoanalysis, it - very simply - demonstrates how US corporate capitalism [via help from its opportunistic agent, Bernays] ruthlessly appropriated some...

Ideology's Mantra: Apologise for being Ridiculed As this is my one-hundredth post at this charming forum, I'm honoured, after some twenty years of posting at assorted forums, newsgroups, bulletin boards, websites [back then it was, in Europe, called "Eurocom"], to pay witness to the above...

Origin of the Ego. Cerebral mechanisms of visuomotor coordination according to Descartes. In our pomo-triumphant, renewed Ego-Cartesianism times, this four-part documentary series might be worth a look: The Century of the Self PART I How politicians and business learned to create and...

Yes, Corneilius, very well put. [As an aside, I've always been fascinated by the deep chasm, the stark differences, conspiracy theory-wise, in the - still-ongoing - responses to the assassination of JFK on the one hand and the assassinations of RFK and Martin Luther King on the other, the...

Let's, first, clear up this deflected inquisatorial fixation of your's, John. Your twice-asked question, above alluded to for a fourth time: (1) "I have to say that I'm confused about what exactly is being attacked and defended here. Psychoanalysis has been torn apart by factional disagreements...

Oh roight, you're here confusing a satirical response to inane rhetoric and dogma with rhetoric and dogma, John. Examples, please. Even one, John, and in all seriousness. If anything, as I previously have pointed out above, it is the likes of Borderpolice and others who have constantly...

It is precisely the failure of many posters here to read either what I have written or what they have previously written themselves, in conjunction with their knee-jerk proclivities, that necessitates a "confrontational" prerogative , John. You, indeed, responded to one of my posts here with a...

Who is suggesting otherwise? Of course it has developed since Freud [incidentally, I'm a Lacanian, not a Freudian, but the former is of course fundamentally indebted to Freud's theories, just as, say, feminist theory is], just as particle physics and astro physics have "moved on" since Einstein...

Corporate Capitalism and Medical Science: A Homely Relationship Very scientific ...

No, its the pot pointing out the kettle's lack of an element. Given Zizek's insistence on theory [even at the expense of "empiricism"], you might need to come up with a more credible, alternative example. Is someone paying you to write this patronising, self-congratulatory shite? You...

No need to "trawl": it was the very first link, but you're right about the "interesting read."
