In the convential truisms about climate crisis, we find a large number point — knowingly or unknowingly — in false directions. I am not referring here to denialist speeches (like those of Senator James Inhofe, who recently died), but to those who claim to offer “green” or “sustainable solutions.”

With war and genocide spreading from Palestine to Lebanon and Iran, with Florida and southern states inundated by the twin biggest climate-change flood disasters in U.S. history, and people's general insecurity about their own and the country's future, the United States lurches toward what's called “the most consequential election in our lifetime” that may resolve little or nothing.

Lebanon's Hezbollah is a unique phenomenon, and any attempt to reduce it to one of its facets would be either unfair or excessive in sanctification. The party's complex and intricate nature is evident in the very circumstances of its birth. It started as a Khomeinist splinter group coming out of the Amal movement, seeking to establish an ideologically committed “Islamic resistance” against the Israeli occupation of Lebanon in 1982 as an alternative to the “Lebanese resistance” that Amal upheld (the latter's name itself is the Arab acronym of “Lebanese Resistance Brigades”). The motive for the rift that led to the party's foundation was twofold: on the one hand, ideological loyalty to the regime instituted by the 1979 “Islamic Revolution” in Iran, but also, on the other hand, an aspiration to a resolute and radical position against the Zionist occupation, unlike the ambiguous position that Amal had taken towards it, especially in southern Lebanon.

Fascism has now become a central issue in the U.S. presidential election largely as a result of recent statements by Donald Trump that he would use the military to suppress “the enemy within” made up of “radical left lunatics.” He is referring here to his rival Kamala Harris whom he has on several occasions called a “radical left lunatic.” He also named Democratic Party Congressman Adam Schiff, who led the first impeachment trial of Trump and is now a candidate for Senate as ‘the enemy within.”

With just a little more than two weeks until the November 5 U.S. presidential election that pits vice-president Kamala Harris against former president Donald Trump, the contest remains too close to call. A variety of issues, from conspiracy theories to assassination attempts complicate the campaign and sometimes confuse and mislead both voters and poll-takers.
