Even though Trump is not striking back militarily, we are still on the brink and we must MOBILIZE QUICKLY to stop this war.
Tomorrow, on January 9, in over 100 cities across the U.S., people will be taking to the streets to say PEACE WITH IRAN!
The illegal assassination of Iranian General Soleimani was an act of war by the United States that must not be tolerated. Whatever the crimes of Soleimani have been, the United States has no legal or moral right to take such unilateral action or for the recent bombings of five Iranian related facilities in Iraq and Syria. Iraq, Syria and Iran are sovereign nations and these U.S. attacks have been gross violations of international law, which prohibits such aggression. They have … Continue reading →

Here’s my latest piece on US military propaganda and contamination. There are lessons here for folks fighting militarism. The United States military is lying to the world about contamination caused by carcinogens routinely used in firefighting exercises on bases. They’re fabricating stories to escape liability for poisoning millions. They’re pretending to conduct science when the science already exists. Meanwhile, the Naval Research Lab in Washington operates a “testing lab” on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay 35 miles to the … Continue reading →
Dark Waters is the most important American film in a decade, although it squanders an opportunity to fully portray PFAS contamination as the nationwide human health epidemic it has become. The film leaves out half of the story – and that involves the military. In any case, please see it and consider PFAS contamination and associated cancer clusters in your work to shut down US bases. https://worldbeyondwar.org/dark-waters-tells-half-the-story-of-pfas-contamination/?fbclid=IwAR0pFj-eqURqQIYILGEV4Hujq13xm-OWXzQgkfmmxP4Fs2zJ7a4YPfaPx5w

US agrees to immediately return 4 military bases to S. Korea http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_national/920639.html The deliberations about who should be responsible for dealing with the contamination aren’t going smoothly. To date, there are no examples of the US taking responsibility for contamination and covering the cost of decontamination at military bases it has handed over in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. While the US acknowledges that the four bases are polluted, it reportedly denies that the contamination poses a “known, … Continue reading →

Mouvement de la Paix / The Peace Movement (France) Communique 2019.12.11 Contrary to the media preparation cleverly orchestrated by President Macron, the NATO summit held in London on December 5 and 6, 2019 has not led to a questioning of this military alliance dating back to the Cold War. , on the contrary.

Here’s a follow up report from NBC News on PFAS that ran on U.S. nationwide TV last night and this morning. I featured in their first report. I told them about all of the dead dogs reported by people who live in communities near US military bases as a testament to the heavily contaminated surface water and suggested they go find that story. You know how dogs drink from puddles? I’m happy it came out in this report. I think … Continue reading →

Hundreds of peace activists from across Europe gathered in central London on 30th November to challenge the NATO war machine and discuss alternatives to current policies which are taking the world closer to war. ‘The New World Disorder’ was the counter-summit organised by the No to War – No to NATO network, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Stop the War Coalition. In a packed hall draped with banners from our movement, participants welcomed the veteran writer and broadcaster Tariq Ali, well-known for his pivotal role in the campaign against the Vietnam War. He was joined in the opening plenary by Ludo de Brabander from Vrede vzw in Belgium, Lindsey German from the Stop the War Coalition, UK, and Kristine Karch from the No to War – No to NATO network in Germany. Arielle Denis, the French IPB and anti-nuclear activist, well-known to many in the audience, was in the chair for the session.

Another piece from me.. And more lessons for my European comrades in this revolutionary struggle. This one does the work the New York Times and the Washington Post weren’t interested in covering. It documents how the Democrats are a war and poison party and shows that the Dems are every bit as despicable as the Republicans.

Call for International Days of Action Against | Sanctions& Economic War: March 13 – 15, 2020 | Sanctions Kill! Sanctions are War! End Sanctions Now!
Sanctions are imposed by the United States and its junior partners against countries that resist their agendas. They are a weapon of Economic War, resulting in chronic shortages of basic necessities, economic dislocation, chaotic hyperinflation, artificial famines, disease, and poverty. In every country, the poorest and the weakest – infants, children, the chronically ill and the elderly – suffer the worst impact of sanctions. https://sanctionskill.org/impact
