Check out Mark Sedgwick's blog. Also the publishing houses Sophia Perennis and the Author's List on World Wisdom. There's a huge literature in this su...
There is an informal school of thought called 'perennialism' or 'traditionalism', centred around the writings of a rather reclusive French convert to ...
It's really important that this gets through. Trump is establishing a meme, a lie, that 'the Mueller report exonerates him' when it doesn't - already ...
You haven't cited any facts in support of your view, other than Trump's fallacious assertion that he was totally exonerated by the Mueller report. So ...
So it doesn't matter if Assange publishes information that leads to people being killed or jailed. Collateral damage, right? Yeah but who wants a polo...
I think the facts on the record about what Assange has done show abundant evidence for, at the very least, reckless disregard for many individual live...
A lot of people here seem to reflexively assume that he's a persecuted whistleblower, but that's only part of the story. I heard an interview recently...
For heaven's sake, Janus, these were individuals caught up in a terrifying theatre of war, swarming with terrorists, IED's, American soldiers - your l...
Oh the irony. 'Collateral damage' was precisely the name of the video which made Assange famous. That was the whole point of the outlet. No holds barr...
I don't think Trump had *any idea* what the Mueller report was about or what the contents were at the time he announced that it had 'totally and compl...
Don't forget, Republicans moved to impeach Nixon, a Republican (but he resigned before proceedings started). If there were one or more honest, er, ren...
Basically, Wikileaks was simply a large google drive, into which anything could be uploaded. It was not a journal or website, as such. Basically, Assa...
But independent news outlets still undertake certain conventions, such as protection of witness names, and so on. When Wikileaks did that huge dump of...
This is patently not true. The numerous links between the Trump campaign team and Russian operatives were noted and had already given rise to numerous...
He calls himself a journalist but he has no qualifications in that discipline and has never worked for accredited media. And Wikileaks doesn’t observe...
It's not ironic in the least. In my uneducated and completely irreverent opinion (as I'm not well-read in Nietzsche and have a low opinion of him), Ni...
Assuming you're asking this in good faith, I can think of several effective responses f(rom the perspective of philosophy of religion rather than Chri...
A succinct account of the total hypocrisy of the GOP under Trump. On the fact that Trump is suing to prevent Congress gaining access to his financial ...
I suppose the silver lining with Trump is how well the other institutions of Government and the Justice department are standing up against his tyranny...
Western cultural history was dominated by the idea of the Second Coming, the Eschaton. It is arguable that the whole notion of ‘progress’ in the West ...
My take is simply that 'post-modernity' is a descriptive label for a period or development in history, which is (obviously) subsequent to 'modernism' ...
Just hope the democrats can find a suitable candidate and to be honest, I'm not seeing it yet (from Australia, anyway). I think Sanders is, afraid to ...
well, it is America and Great Britain, after all. Those historical factors are supposed to outweigh the personalities involved (although in Trump's ca...
I think the Western intellectual tradition tries to address this question by 'using reason to point to something superior to reason'. To try and compr...
I say the whole idea is motivated by the 'fear of being' - something close to what Eric Fromm meant in his 1960s book Escape from Freedom (a.k.a. Fear...
Sydney Morning Herald. I think it's indisutable that Assange became motivated by a deep hatred of Hillary Clinton and that Wikileaks to all intents an...
Never mistake me for being supportive of Trump, but I think my reading is consistent with the conclusions of the Report. I don’t think Trump picked up...
I read a story at the beginning of last year about the substance of the Trump campaign’s interactions with Russian agencies and agents. Basically the ...
Right. Vanity Fair basically says that Mueller decided that Donny was too stupid to be culpable. https://apple.news/AEE6iOkMfRWC27bcPjlRvnQ Donny pred...
‘The 9 June 2016 meeting, according to the report, raised “difficult statutory and constitutional questions” relating to “schemes involving the solici...
‘ultimately, Mueller concluded that, despite "numerous" communications and links between the Trump campaign and Russia, there was no evidence likely t...
Overall, Mueller was cognisant of the legal obstacles to prosecuting a sitting President: According to Mark Joseph Stern, writing in Slate, this sente...
Well, the coverage is damning against Trump. No, Mueller didn’t find enough evidence for inditement against Trump, but the pattern of co-operation bet...
