Understanding Peace: The Cycle of War and Civilization
By D. L. Dantes
“The moment war becomes the proof of peace, peace has already been abandoned.”— D. L. Dantes
Peace is one of the most spoken words in human history, and perhaps one of the least understood. Nations invoke it before war, during war, and after war. They speak of it as though violence were somehow the road that leads back to peace. That alone should force us to pause. The language…

Revealing Wealth: A Data-Driven Crusade Against Tax Evasion
Revealing Wealth: A Data-Driven Crusade Against Tax Evasion
In an era when wealth inequality feels like an intractable virus, Martyn Jones’s Revealing Wealth: Combatting Tax Evasion with Data, Political Will and Technology arrives as a potent antidote – or at least a blueprint for one. Published in 2025, this ambitious tome blends technical savvy with moral urgency, proposing a global “World Asset Register” (WAR) to unmask hidden fortunes. Jones, a data architecture veteran once hailed as one of the world’s top information experts, teams up with his alter ego, Afilonius Rex – a pseudonym for a collective of contrarian thinkers – to argue that technology can pierce the veil of offshore secrecy. But as Gillian Tett might observe, drawing from her anthropological lens on finance, this isn’t just about algorithms and databases; it’s about the cultural rituals of power, where the ultra-rich perform elaborate dances to evade civic duty, leaving the rest of us footing the bill.

Trump’s Digital Assault: How the Far-Right Weaponises Social Media to Wage War on Europe and Democracy
This isn’t alarmism; it’s urgency. The far-right’s digital war on reason, amplified by Trump’s assaults, risks irreversible democratic decay. But synthesis offers hope: by combining critiques of algorithmic bias, manipulative tactics, and imperial overreach, we build resilience. Europe and the world must act, snuff the vermin, restore rigour, and reaffirm democracy. The alternative? A fractured future where outrage reigns, and alliances crumble.

“And then there came the sound of a silenced bell, and all the world heard it. It was the beast known as Time, and it had been consumed; there was none after.
And there they rode from sky and sea, and spilled-over from the men that supped on blood and the suicides and mortalities, the host of the final day; clad were they in the shadow that fills the heart, and their steeds were iron dragons and great ships of glass, and all belched a smoke that ate the sun.
And I saw there riding before them a machine that wore a crown, and in its eyes were the clocks that counted the world’s ending. A thousand-thousand strands puppeted its armies, pulled from as many fingers on as many arms, and where it saw was turned to ash by its gaze, and where it stepped light gave way to nothingness and the muted bell pealed a hundred times.
Hear! There was no doubt in my mind: This was the dark God that ate Time, and you will know it by the clocks in its eyes.”

Ever wondered what it feels like to be the last person holding the door as the whole world tries to break it down? 🤔 That was the reality for Constantine XI, the final Byzantine Emperor. His story isn’t just a dusty page in a history book—it’s a 57-day epic of resilience, faith, and a civilization’s last stand.
The Man Before the Legend
Constantine wasn’t just born into royalty; he was born into a crisis. The once-mighty Byzantine Empire was a ghost of its former self, more a city-state than an empire, surrounded and squeezed by the rising Ottoman power.
His early years were a crash course in survival. Before becoming Emperor, he served as a capable ruler in the Morea (modern-day Peloponnese), where he learned the harsh arts of war and diplomacy. He knew the score. By the time he was crowned in 1449, he was taking the throne of a realm that was, quite literally, running out of time.
A Kingdom of Walls and Hope
When he arrived in Constantinople, what did he find? A glorious, crumbling city. Its legendary Theodosian Walls were still mighty, but the population was dwindling, the treasury was empty, and help from the Christian West was a promise that always seemed to arrive too little, too late. His reign was a masterclass in trying to hold the impossible together with sheer will.
The Final Stand: 1453
This is where legend truly takes over. For nearly two months, Constantine defended Constantinople against Sultan Mehmed II’s colossal Ottoman army. He wasn’t a distant king in a palace—he was on the walls, fighting alongside his soldiers.
- The Ultimate Underdog: He commanded maybe 7,000 defenders against an Ottoman force exceeding 50,000.
- Diplomacy & Defiance: He tried to negotiate, but refused the Sultan’

Faith, Certainty and the Presidency of George W. Bush
“This is one key feature of the faith-based presidency: open dialogue, based on facts, is not seen as something of inherent value. It may, in fact, create doubt, which undercuts faith. It could result in a loss of confidence in the decision-maker and, just as important, by the decision-maker. Nothing could be more vital, whether staying on message with the voters or the terrorists or a California congressman in a meeting about one of the world’s most nagging problems. As Bush himself has said any number of times on the campaign trail, “By remaining resolute and firm and strong, this world will be peaceful.”
(…)
A cluster of particularly vivid qualities was shaping George W. Bush’s White House through the summer of 2001: a disdain for contemplation or deliberation, an embrace of decisiveness, a retreat from empiricism, a sometimes bullying impatience with doubters and even friendly questioners. Already Bush was saying, Have faith in me and my decisions, and you’ll be rewarded. All through the White House, people were channeling the boss. He didn’t second-guess himself; why should they?
(…)
In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in Esquire that the White House didn’t like about Bush’s former communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House’s displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I didn’t fully comprehend – but which I now believe gets to the very heart of the Bush presidency.
The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality – judiciously, as you will – we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”
(…)
And for those who don’t get it? That was explained to me in late 2002 by Mark McKinnon, a longtime senior media adviser to Bush, who now runs his own consulting firm and helps the president. He started by challenging me. “You think he’s an idiot, don’t you?” I said, no, I didn’t. “No, you do, all of you do, up and down the West Coast, the East Coast, a few blocks in southern Manhattan called Wall Street. Let me clue you in. We don’t care. You see, you’re outnumbered 2 to 1 by folks in the big, wide middle of America, busy working people who don’t read The New York Times or Washington Post or The L.A. Times. And you know what they like? They like the way he walks and the way he points, the way he exudes confidence. They have faith in him. And when you attack him for his malaprops, his jumbled syntax, it’s good for us. Because you know what those folks don’t like? They don’t like you!” In this instance, the final “you,” of course, meant the entire reality-based community.
The bond between Bush and his base is a bond of mutual support. He supports them with his actions, doing his level best to stand firm on wedge issues like abortion and same-sex marriage while he identifies evil in the world, at home and abroad. They respond with fierce faith. The power of this transaction is something that people, especially those who are religious, tend to connect to their own lives. If you have faith in someone, that person is filled like a vessel. Your faith is the wind beneath his or her wings. That person may well rise to the occasion and surprise you: I had faith in you, and my faith was rewarded. Or, I know you’ve been struggling, and I need to pray harder.
(…)
The life of the nation and the life of Bush effortlessly merge – his fortitude, even in the face of doubters, is that of the nation; his ordinariness, like theirs, is heroic; his resolve, to whatever end, will turn the wheel of history.
Remember, this is consent, informed by the heart and by the spirit. In the end, Bush doesn’t have to say he’s ordained by God. After a day of speeches by Hardy Billington and others, it goes without saying.
“To me, I just believe God controls everything, and God uses the president to keep evil down, to see the darkness and protect this nation,” Billington told me, voicing an idea shared by millions of Bush supporters. “Other people will not protect us. God gives people choices to make. God gave us this president to be the man to protect the nation at this time.”
(…)
Can the unfinished American experiment in self-governance – sputtering on the watery fuel of illusion and assertion – deal with something as nuanced as the subtleties of one man’s faith? What, after all, is the nature of the particular conversation the president feels he has with God – a colloquy upon which the world now precariously turns?
That very issue is what Jim Wallis wishes he could sit and talk about with George W. Bush. That’s impossible now, he says. He is no longer invited to the White House.
“Faith can cut in so many ways,” he said. “If you’re penitent and not triumphal, it can move us to repentance and accountability and help us reach for something higher than ourselves. That can be a powerful thing, a thing that moves us beyond politics as usual, like Martin Luther King did. But when it’s designed to certify our righteousness – that can be a dangerous thing. Then it pushes self-criticism aside. There’s no reflection.
”Where people often get lost is on this very point,“ he said after a moment of thought. ”Real faith, you see, leads us to deeper reflection and not – not ever – to the thing we as humans so very much want.“
And what is that?
”Easy certainty.“”
