By Paul Craig Roberts: Liberals, progressives, and the left-wing (to the extent that one still exists) are aligning with the corrupt oligarchy against president-elect Trump and the American people. They are busy at work trying to generate hysteria over Trump’s “authoritarian personality and followers.” In other words, the message is: here come the fascists. Liberals and progressives wailed and whined about “an all white male cabinet,” only to be made fools by Trump’s appointment of a black male and two women, one a minority and one a Trump critic. The oligarchs are organizing their liberal progressive front groups to disrupt Trump’s inauguration in an effort to continue the attempt to delegitimize Trump the way the paid Maidan protesters were used in Kiev to delegitimize the elected Ukrainian government. To the extent any of the Trump protesters are sincere and not merely paid tools of oligarchs, such as George Soros, military and financial interests, and global capitalists, they should consider that false claims and unjustified criticism can cause Trump and his supporters to close their ears to all criticism and make it easier for neoconservatives to influence Trump by offering support. At this point we don’t know what a Trump government is going to do. If he sells out the people, he won’t be reelected. If he is defeated by the oligarchy, the people will become more radical.
By Gilad Atzmon:Israel’s rural landscape is saturated with pine trees. These trees are new to the region. The pine trees were introduced to the Palestinians landscape in the early 1930s by the Jewish National Fund (JNF) in an attempt to ‘reclaim the land’ . By 1935, JNF had planted 1.7 million trees over a total area of 1,750 acres. Over fifty years, the JNF planted over 260 million trees largely on confiscated Palestinian land. It did it all in a desperate attempt to hide the ruins of the ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages and their history. Along the years the JNF performed a crude attempt to eliminate Palestinian civilisation and past but it also tried to make Palestine look like Europe. The Palestinian natural forest was eradicated. Similarly the olive trees were uprooted. The pine trees took their place. On the southern part of mount Carmel the Israelis named an area as ‘Little Switzerland’. By now, there is no much left of “Little Switzerland.” However, the facts on the ground were pretty devastating for the JNF. The pine tree didn’t adapt to the Israeli climate as much as the Israelis failed to adapt to the Middle East. According to JNF statistics, six out of every 10 saplings planted did not survive. Those few trees that did survive formed nothing but a firetrap.
Mike Buchanan: Ann Widdecombe (69), a former Conservative MP, on fine form on BBC Radio 4 last Saturday (7:00). The piece starts with a clip from an episode of Yes Minister broadcast in 1982, three years after Margaret Thatcher became the country’s first female prime minister. Ann Widdecombe is a gloriously independently-minded former Tory MP. Ayesha Hazarika is a former special adviser to Harriet Harman MP and Ed Miliband MP. She's a feminist 'comedian' - by definition, not funny.
By Svetlana Voreskova: Feminism is built upon the principle of patriarchy theory – the idea that women have been oppressed by men throughout our history and that men have always been “privileged” relative to women. Almost all other feminist doctrine is built upon this foundation. Patriarchy theory itself, is not only a giant historical lie, but it is a lie that has been deliberately concocted and perpetuated by feminists to encourage women to see men as the enemy. The demonization of men is vitally important to feminism and it is a constant theme that underscores all feminist discourse and literature. Feminism could not survive without it because most modern feminist activism is based on advocating for special status for women, using the justification that women have traditionally been oppressed and that men are basically brutish oppressors by default. I have debunked patriarchy theory on many occasions in debating with feminists. It’s not difficult to do. I asked one British feminist who claimed women in the early 1900’s in Britain were oppressed, if she really though those women would have preferred to work in the mines or fight in the trenches. Her response – Silence. I asked her if she realized that whilst women did not have the vote in the UK of the 1900’s nor did many men, and furthermore that women did not have the vote because they avoided all of the responsibilities that went hand in hand with the vote.. Her response – Silence.
"Why do we allow feminists to control the past?" Asked professor Fiamengo. George Orwell told us in his novel 1984: “He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.” Why do we allow feminists to control the past?
Max and Stacy look at what the Democratic party looks like on neoliberalism: collapsing. Is the TPP trade deal over? And was Donald Trump’s ‘craziness’ overblown by the media? In the second half Max interviews former head of the Democratic Party in North Carolina to find out how and why Hillary Clinton lost.

By Maxx, AVfM: Feminists should be rejoicing. A woman DID win the White House this week. The most stunning and audacious election campaign in the history of democracy was orchestrated by Kellyanne Conway. Behind every great man is a good woman, so the saying goes. So let’s talk about the woman currently standing behind the president-elect. Like many women and girls, Kellyanne wasn’t the first choice. She had to wait in line. Only after a couple of dudes tried and failed to make Donald J Trump look presidential and electable did she inherit a ship that most outside observers were convinced couldn’t be saved from sinking. Only Kellyanne wasn’t here to be another deckhand on the Titanic; no this woman was there to wear the captain’s hat and against all the odds turn the entire franchise around. Her boss didn’t make it easy for her at times. Trump was hot off a nomination debate in which he and his Republican rivals had come off like a bunch of frat boys cracking wise about each other’s junk on national television. Liberals were celebrating what looked like the very public and dramatic disintegration of the entire Republican party.
Julie Borowski:"Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't let politics come between family but this isn't normal. Your Donald voting relatives have chosen to stand and be counted with white nationalists like the KKK and they should understand that there are consequences for that. Trump promised them that he would end 'political correctness' and they would be free to be racist assholes without paying the price for it.
By Gilad Atzmon: I am delighted to inform you that Private Eye published my letter today. I informed them that "I am not an anti-Semite, I actually hate everyone equally".
Private Eye issue 1432, 25 November:
I notice that on page 13 of issue 1430 under the heading ‘Forked Tonge' you referred to me as “Gilad Atzmon, the notorious antisemitic musician.” Let me first assure you, I am not an anti-Semite, I actually hate everyone equally.
As you must know, my work on Jewish identity politics is endorsed by some of the leading humanists and academics of our time. Needless to say, not once have I criticised Jews or anyone else as ‘people’, ‘ethnicity’ or ‘race’. In fact, my criticism of Jewish identity politics is anti-racist in nature.
I believe that all politics must be subject to criticism and dissent and I insist that this approach must be applied also to Jewish politics and lobbying.
