William Powell was vilified in the wake of the Columbine High School massacre for his book "The Anarchist Cookbook". However, he is not the man he was made out to be. He was the best teacher I ever had.

Trump adores dictators, but he does not have what it takes to be one. Not enough brains, not enough balls. He will go down in history a clown.

I was among the very first tourists to return to Rwanda after the genocide. From the outside, the country seemed to have restored some kind of normality. From the inside, it was not quite like that.

Trump is building a personal army, which will be eerily similar to Hitler's Brownshirts. However, America is still fast asleep.

Success is the highest virtue in American society. The flip-side is that America's losers get a raw deal. Understand American politics by understanding the country's cultural underpinnings.

Trump promised to 'drain the swamp', but in his desperation to stamp out the symptoms of his policy mistakes he is dramatically increasing the reach of the US government. Not what his supporters voted for.

The West has gone to war with China on the misguided belief that tariffs can fix trade imbalances. There is a far better way.

The US-EU trade deal has been touted as a Trump win. It is not. In fact, it is a big US own goal and here is why.

The precedents for Israel’s genocide in Gaza include Biafra, the Holodomor, and the Warsaw Ghetto.

The massive funding increase for ICE is worrisome. ICE can now expel 12m immigrants, but who will occupy the cells in the new prisons once the immigrants are gone?

Nothing transforms itself with such remorseless indifference and speed than Katavi National Park. Heaven in July, hell by September.

Livingstone was one of history’s devious little shits, not a hero. He portrayed himself as a self-sacrificing slavery-fighting moral authority, but in reality he was obsessed with greed and Empire.

If poor countries destroy as much nature as rich countries did during their development there will be no large ecosystems left in the world.

They say Serengeti shall never die. Who knows, but at least Serengeti is a self-contained ecosystem. Leave its parameters be and it just might be here tomorrow.

A tranquil revisit to the Ngorongoro Crater, which is teeming with birds and animals amidst an abundance of water.

Lake Eyasi is a rarely visited. This is wrong. It is a beautiful part of Tanzania. And they do very good Red Onions here too.

Zohran Mamdani and I have never met, but we have a funny indirect connection dating back to Uganda in the mid 1990s

In a stunning display of intellectual excellence and leadership, the Louisiana legislature has voted to ban chemtrails. Onwards and upwards, America!

Is criticism of Israel anti-Semitic? Based on how politicians and the media treat the issue you might think so. I clear up the issue.

Israel's annexation of Gaza is underway. Indiscriminate bombing, denial of access to food, and destruction of health care facilities are designed to make life impossible in Gaza.
