My latest: As the campaigns against Assange and Corbyn show, the left not only faces character assassination from the establishment, as was always the case, but is nowadays manipulated into colluding in its own character assassination https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2021-01-08/assange-cobyn-character-assassination/

We need to find ways to turn the tables on the war criminals who have been gaslighting us in demanding that Assange, who exposed their crimes, is the one who needs to be locked up

We need to make clear that it is those who are so ready to smear anti-racists as antisemites – as Corbyn’s successor, Sir Keir Starmer, has done to swaths of Labour party members – who are the real racists

And we need to unmask as war hawks those who accuse the anti-war left of serving as apologists for dictators when we try to stop western states conducting more illegal, resource-grab wars with such devastating results for local populations
