June 20, 2020, David Cenciotti

The U.S. Air Force will temporarily deploy four aircraft and crews to Curaçao to support drug-interdiction operations.

An E-8 Joint STARS (JSTARS) and an E-3 Sentry Airborne Early Warning aircraft, supported by two KC-135 Stratotankers, will soon fly detection and monitoring missions in international airspace to support U.S. and international law enforcement authorities fighting criminal organizations trafficking illegal narcotics in the Caribbean region, the U.S. Southern Command has announced.

AFRICOM as the colonization of Africa by the US

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

BAP (Black Aliance for Peace) is intensifying the work against  the U.S. African Command (AFRICOM, Stuttgart Germany) as we link the work against the war being waged on African people in the U.S. by the domestic army we call the police and U.S. militarism abroad against African people and other colonized peoples’ and nations.  

BAP’s U.S. Out of African Campaign has developed an international network of over two hundred activists from around the world – the U.S. Out of African Network (USOAN). 
 
Tunde Osazua, BAP Network coordinator discusses the project and the issues driving AFRICOM and the U.S. basing and command structures. 
 
 

Link to Authoritarianism or Democracy Recording

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by
With Massachusetts Peace Action, last night CPDCS held what I think was a uniquely important webinar last night titled “Authoritarianism or Democracy” with Noam Chomsky, the historian Van Gosse, and the African-American (BLM & Poor People’s Campaign) organizer Ty dePasse.
 
It was, I think, uniquely excellent and had 640 people registered from across the U.S. and four other countries, and I thought to share it with you  I was the lead organizer, but didn’t have to appear online.
 
Noam’s analysis will likely  be quite familiar to you, but Van Gosse’s presentation was comprehensive and chilling and concluded with a dose of hope. And Ty described the daily experiences of white supremicist authoritarianism for People of Color, beginning with a terrible example here in Boston.
 
In any event, I think you will appreciate seeing it. You can listen in at:  https://youtu.be/UH0v9pjo-I0

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

recommended by Joseph Gerson Friends, It’s no surprise that Trump is working hard to distract our attention from his monumental failures by scapegoating China. He is desperate not to lose November’s election. And, Beijing’s leadership has certainly created its openings for Trump. BUT, missing from the barrage of daily news reports is what Col. Lawrence Willkerson, formerly Secretary of Defense Colin Powell’s chief of staff, has described as Trump dangerously sticking his finger in China’s eye with aircraft carrier deployments … Continue reading →

The Trident nuclear armed submarines

No to war - no to NATO Network Posted on by

by Rae Street As many of you know the UK’s fleet of 4 Trident nuclear armed submarines are ‘integrated’ into NATO. Just to remind you of the horrors of Trident. Each submarine can carry up to 8 missiles; each missile can carry up to 5 warheads, with each warhead having 8 times the killing power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. One submarine patrols the seas at all times and, as they have a huge range, could be under the … Continue reading →

Fund Healthcare Not Nuclear Warfare

During the pandemic, the lack of investment in public health infrastructure, including health care for all, has had deadly consequences for tens of thousands of people. The $22.42 billion the U.S. will be spending this year to upgrade its first-strike nuclear arsenal could pay for 624 million corona virus tests, 747, 633 covid-19 hospital stays, or 6.6 BILLION N95 masks. This has to change. Our lives and security depend on it. Continue reading →
