I will be working in the UK from February 19 to February 28, 2026. I have a range of activities mostly of a non-public nature ranging from meetings with publishers, a meeting with Jeremy Corbyn, and some other research-related meetings. I will also be speaking at the launch of the new Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)…
The Australian government has made an extraordinary decision to deeply divide the Australian community under the guise of advancing social cohesion and bringing us all together. How such a patently stupid political decision could be made by educated adults is beyond comprehension. Once again this is not one of my typical blog posts where I…
by Tony Wikrent [X-Twitter, via Naked Capitalism 02-07-2025] Sheila of the Most High @sheilatebra Just read this beautiful story I live in a 12-unit apartment building. For two years, I didn’t know a single neighbor. We’d pass in the hallway. Nod. Maybe say “hey.” Then disappear into our separate lives. That was normal. That was […]

Half a century after the public learned that boys at a Belfast group home were sexually assaulted by senior staff, a key question remains unanswered: was British intelligence implicated in the abuse conspiracy, and did Kincora serve as a ‘honeypot’ to entrap and blackmail powerful figures?
