Savage Minds

Online/Digital
Where “cancel culture” has restricted cultural debates over the past decade, this trend has also entered into far too many newsrooms where even editors of independent media refuse stories due to personal bias or worries about losing subscribers. Between this and the proliferation of fake news largely due to the failure of most publications to pay writers, I have decided to create an independent media site that takes up issues central to political and cultural debates. I have written for Quillette, Spiked, TruthDig, Truthout, Dissident Voice, Forbes, CounterPunch, Black Agenda Report, Morning Star, and The Ecologist among other publications. Now my main priority is to bring you articles every week that incorporate my background in cultural anthropology and investigative research through cutting edge, fact-based news and analysis. Towards the autumn and as funding permits, I will be bringing other writers on board to create a more eclectic publication with a diverse set of contributors who offer news and commentary in their fields of expertise.

US president Donald Trump meets the press. Photo credit: Andrew Leyden The war against Iran that the United States and Israel launched on 28 February 2026, will likely end in an American retreat. The United States cannot continue the war without producing disastrous consequences. A renewed escalation would likely lead to the destruction of the region's oil, gas, and desalination infrastructure, causing a prolonged global catastrophe.
