The Trump Administration's recent attempts to achieve "energy dominance" via fracking and gas exports has been rightly met with serious concerns by environmentalists throughout Europe and the wider world as a move that will put the environment in peril and hold Europeans hostage to US exports. What has received less attention, although it is equally significant, is fracking's potential to forever undermine the chances for Third World sovereignty, Palestinian activism, and a global redistribution of wealth under a regime of degrowth. In July 2017, the Trump administration unveiled the term "energy dominance" to describe a key plank in the American plan for global economic and strategic hegemony. But although the State Department under former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson has pushed the policy into the limelight, it has long been an aim of the US, especially under President Obama, whose TTIP and TPP trade deals would have greatly aided American companies, l...

As Russia is beginning to overtake Islamic terrorism as the chief enemy of the United States in the eyes of the government and the mainstream media, many of the same figures and organisations that made a name for themselves as "terrorism experts" in previous years are now presenting themselves and each other as the go-to authorities on disinformation and "fake news." Many of these individuals also have a history of repression of anarchist and left-wing forces.   Many have used the term "terrorism gold rush" to describe the cottage industry of think tanks, senior fellows, and private corporations that arose in the United States after the events of September 11, 2001. In fact, the "terrorism industry," to use the title of Edward Herman 's 1989 book, goes back much further than that, originating in the late 1970s alongside the think-tank boom itself, with organisations such as AEI, the Heritage Foundation, the Center for Strategic and Int...
