In the mid-1990s, I was a professor of international relations at the National War College and a member of the Brookings Institution’s Russian Study Group that held regular off-the-record discussions of key issues. This was an important time when the leading subject for the study group was the question of expanding the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The group had rather high level membership from the National Security Council, the Departments of State and Defense, and the intelligence community, particularly CIA and INR, the intelligence arm of State. These individuals were for the most part supporters of the absurd idea that we had won the Cold War and there was a mood of triumphalism and exceptionalism that was obvious in their support for NATO expansion.

America is supposed to be the greatest democracy on earth, right? I know this because we have at least fifty goddamn holidays a year shouting it at us from the night sky in burning lights. Still, I feel compelled to ask, because it only took five unelected judges to declare our president to be infallible and his Executive Office to be above the law.

The fascist armies could no longer stop the advance of the Soviet armed forces on the Eastern Front in the summer of 1944. Despite the tactic of “scorched earth”, large parts of the Ukrainian SSR and the Belorussian SSR were liberated. At the same time, the Red Army reached the Carpathian Mountains and the eastern regions of Poland. Under these conditions, the anti-fascist liberation struggle in all areas still occupied by German fascism gained significant momentum, as the partisans wanted to make their contribution to the military weakening of the occupying power and thus to the liberation of their own homeland.
In this essay, I will describe my activism on behalf of Palestinians’ human rights and their right to self-determination, from my graduate student days on a US campus, to the present in my position as a tenured full professor, and the ways in which I’ve experienced attempts at silencing and censorship. These attempts today are more blatant and worrisome than ever before on anyone speaking up for Palestine in the USA, in the wake of the deadly genocidal massacre and famine unleashed by Israel on Palestinians in Gaza after the Oct 7th 2023 attack by Hamas; an attack, which whilst condemnable for loss of 1200 innocent Israeli civilians, must be seen in light of the 75+years of ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands and people with far more dead, injured and imprisoned than Israelis to date.
The United States has slid into a form of political, economic, cultural, and social psychosis, evident in its cruel, neoliberal, democracy-hating policies unleashed since the 1970s. At the heart of its authoritarian and rogue state practices is a systemic war on workers, youth, Blacks, and immigrants, increasingly defined by the rise of mass violence and a punishing state both at home and abroad. The U.S. has morphed into an empire run by a callous, greedy, billionaire class that has destroyed all remnants of democracy, while embracing the fascistic ideology of white Christian nationalism and white supremacy. Fascism now wraps itself not only in the flag but the sordid embrace of the Christian cross.
On September 9, 1973, I was eating lunch at Da Carla, an Italian restaurant in Santiago, Chile, when a colleague joined my table and whispered in my ear: “Call home immediately; it’s urgent.” At the time, I was serving as a clandestine CIA officer.

Much has been written about the political earthquakes in Britain and France, the first resulting in the crushing defeat of the Conservative Party and the latter in the overpowering of the far right, by a largely leftist coalition.
