Justice Privatized: The Protection of a Monster To describe the Jeffrey Epstein saga as a mere failure of justice is to grant the system a benevolence it does not deserve. We are witnessing something far more sinister: the active, functional protection of private power by public institutions. The trajectory is undeniable. We have an individual with a fortune of mysterious origin, wealth that would have triggered immediate forensic audits for anyone outside the elite class, being shielded by the very structures designed to prosecute criminality. The 2008 non-prosecution agreement engineered by Alexander Acosta was not a mistake; it was a state-sanctioned cover-up. It was a constitutional abomination that effectively privatized the justice system, creating a two-tiered legal reality: one for the general population, and another for the ultra-wealthy. By sealing the records and granting immunity in secret, the U.S. Judicial System became an accomplice to every crime Epstein committed thereafter. The state did not just let a monster go free; it camouflaged him. It allowed him to move through high society with a clean ledger, endangering countless women and deceiving associates who were left in the dark regarding his true nature. The inconsistencies, from the sweetheart deal to the convenient timing of his death, demonstrate a judiciary primarily concerned with preserving the stability of elite networks rather than exposing the truth. The blood is on the hands of the U.S. courts. They manufactured the impunity that allowed this predation to endure, up to today.

Michael Parenti (1933-2026) died today. He has, as his son Christian said, 'gone to the Great Lecture Hall in the Sky'. A socialist from early into his life till the very end, Michael Parenti wrote in a feisty way and spoke bluntly the truths that were not always easy to digest in a wretched capitalist system. He was a fierce critic of imperialist wars and suffered the consequences of this because he could keep and then hold academic jobs even in liberal states such as Vermont. The toughest test for all of us came when the USSR collapsed, and it was in this period that Michael Parenti played an important role in the Battle of Ideas, fighting the reactionary Western media and the intellectual cowardice of his peers. His books on Yugoslavia's destruction earned him terrible attacks, which he brushed off as the necessary price you pay in this struggle. In the midst of it all, Michael wrote 'Blackshirts and Reds: Rational Fascism and the Overthrow of Communism' (1997), a rebuttal to the anti-Marxist and anti-Communist blather that had begun to infect the world. The book remains an essential tool to fight against the ridiculous anti-communist historiography that demeans the great achievements of the workers' movements. He spent the last period of his life within himself, which was a loss to the rest of us, and now his departure leaves us without that anchor which he provided. Michael Parenti. Comrade. Our Red Flag dips in your honour.

Another humanitarian group – this time, Doctors without Borders – concludes Israel is deliberately killing the very people it has been starving by shooting them as they queue for aid. Its report is titled: "This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing." msf.org/not-aid-orchestrated…

Israel and the U.S. are violating numerous international laws daily. Why are the international law professors not speaking up? Not writing public letters to the so-called legal advisor to the State Dept, not organizing full page ads in newspapers... There are hundreds of these international law professors in the U.S. and they have their opinions but don’t seem to be voicing them in any public way. Speak out! The public needs to hear your expert voices. -R

Came across Dr. Refaat Alareer's poem "If I must die" just a few days ago, I cried and couldn't help but translated it to Chinese without his permission. Now that he's gone.

In the same time Israel has released 117 Palestinians from occupation jails, as part of the truce deal, it has taken 116 new Palestinians captive in the occupied West Bank. Among them children, of course.
