‘Current and Former U.S. Military Personnel Build a Movement for Palestine Within Their Ranks’; ‘US Air Force Engineer Resigns as Dissent Against Gaza War Slowly Spreads Within Military’.
For the fifth time since 2008, Russia has proposed to negotiate with the U.S. over security arrangements, this time in proposals made by President Vladimir Putin on June 14, 2024. Four previous times, the U.S. rejected the offer of negotiations, endangering the whole world. After all the warmongering, it’s time for Biden to open negotiations for peace with Russia.
The Saudi royals never forget or forgive. They also have infinite patience and their own concept of time and space. And last Sunday, June 9, they struck. In great royal style, last Sunday, Riyadh simply let the 50-year-old petrodollar agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia to expire.
As we reflect on the upcoming Philippine Independence Day celebration on June 12, it is difficult to discern true Philippine sovereignty when the reality is that the Philippines is a semi-colony, with the country still ruled by and dependent on the power and capital of the United States.
‘Housing, Not Handcuffs: The Moral Response to Homelessness’: The city of Grants Pass, Oregon, USA has outlawed resting or sleeping anywhere on public property with so much as a blanket to survive in cold weather, even when no beds in shelters were available. Also: ‘I Witnessed an Alternative to the U.S. Homelessness Crisis in Socialist Cuba’.
‘Are You Ready for WWIII? The Russians are’. Also: ‘World War III Impending? Ukraine’s Frontline Nightmare’: The NATO decision to strike mainland Russia with missiles comes as Ukraine is losing on the battlefield and is at risk of a major frontline collapse. It can spiral out of control.
The academic year that just ended left America’s college campuses in quite a state: with snipers on the rooftops and checkpoints at the gates; quads overrun by riot squads, state troopers, and federal agents; and even the scent of gunpowder in the air.
While profit has long been part of war, the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) is a relatively new, post-World War II phenomenon that formed thanks to a series of choices made over time. Like other processes, like other choices, they can be reversed and the MIC can be dismantled.
Under U.S. arrangements, a so-called Multinational Security Support (MSS) force will soon be descending on Haiti. Its mission is suppressing gang violence. With their experience of earlier U.S. interventions, however, beleaguered Haitians can likely expect an aggravation of oppression, social disaster, and dependency.
As the rulers of USA and Western Europe prepare for more wars, the author looks at the politics behind the D-Day commemoration and constant references back to the Second World War.
