About

Scire Populum et Potentiam is my commentary blog on current events, geopolitics, and people’s movements.  The title is Latin for “know the people and power.”

Though I appreciate the sentiment in those who have offered support or patronage, your gifts to organizations and activists who work full-time are most welcome.  Some possibilities are civ.works and Democracy Now.

Below are blurbs from prominent activists, kind enough to comment on my content.

A great contribution.
Fine work, badly needed,
these days more than ever.

–Noam Chomsky, Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, September 2017

People will find

eclectic mix of

Potentiam. A visit

–Dean Baker, co-Director of the Center of Economic and Policy Research, September 2017

Neil P. Slagle is
