The claim made by Beatty that Healy told lies about his childhood experiences is decisively refuted. But beyond exposing Beatty's malicious hack work, Tom Scripps' historical essay is a fascinating and moving exploration of the fate of one family in a period of violent political upheavals.

Biography as demonology: Aidan Beatty’s <em>The Party is Always Right: The Untold Story of Gerry Healy and British Trotskyism</em> Aidan Beatty's new book is not a biography, but rather a political diatribe against Gerry Healy and Trotskyism.

This is my review of Aidan Beatty's hack biography of Gerry Healy. Beatty's exercise in political slander was commissioned by the DSA, of which he is a member, and financed by pro-Zionist institutions. From the standpoint of historical scholarship, the book is worthless.

Ashish Jha was selected by Biden to be the “Covid Response Coordinator” precisely because he supported the pro-corporate GBD policy of mass infection. It’s no coincidence that he’s now endorsing Trump’s ghouls.

I wrote about Jha’s appointment here in March 2022:

After Beatty digressed for one hour out of the scheduled 90-minute webinar, other speakers such as 97-year-old Barbara Slaughter, a member of the Trotskyist movement since the 1950s, and David North were finally allowed to speak.
