Cubans Are Starting Small Businesses, but the U.S. Is Hurting Them

Posted on by

“The embargo is a failed foreign policy that’s only served to punish the Cuban people and isolate the United States internationally. And rolling back Obama’s opening there is a major blow for diplomacy, people-to-people ties, and — most of all — Cuba’s new private businesses.”

The U.S.-Saudi Starvation Blockade

Posted on by

“President Obama first approved U.S. support for the Saudi war effort. President Trump has continued the Obama policy. The war in Yemen has now become his war and his human rights catastrophe.  Yemen today is arguably the worst humanitarian crisis on earth, and America’s role in it is undeniable and indispensable.”

From North Korea, With Dread

Posted on by

“The risk of war is greater than the public appreciates. There’s a complacency surrounding this crisis, which has been kicked down the road by several American presidents. Now, with war more likely than ever, talks are even more urgent, and we hope this video can serve as a call for politicians on both sides to seek exit ramps for peace.”

Is Trump Going to Lie Our Way Into War With Iran?

Posted on by

“Americans aren’t exactly itching for a new war. (A majority, in fact, believes the country would be better off staying in the nuclear deal with Iran.) So how can the Trump administration build a case for a pre-emptive strike?  Those claims of a nefarious alliance with Al Qaeda might help.”

Alfred McCoy: The Future of the American Empire

Posted on by

“Alfred McCoy was a young rebel academic who waded into the war zone in Southeast Asia to investigate the relationship between the CIA, crime syndicates, and local drug lords. The result, which the Agency tried unsuccessfully to suppress, was his classic The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade. In the 45 years since, McCoy has consistently probed the underside of American global power, analyzing how the United States uses covert interventions, local proxies, torture, and worldwide surveillance to maintain its global empire.”

US, S. Korea to stage massive air exercise in show of force against N. Korea

Pentagon to Admit to 2,000 Ground Troops in Syria

Posted on by

“US officials said on Friday that the Pentagon is expected to confirm concern that there are ‘about 2,000’ US ground troops in Syria, a major increase from the roughly 500 that they officially claim is the case.  The US has overtly lied about troop levels in Syria consistently throughout their deployment. President Trump has made a point of troop levels needing to be kept secret from ‘the enemy,’ but consistent lies from the Pentagon about their deployments have made the figures less a closely guarded secret than a mockery of transparency.”

Paul Craig Roberts: Who Gets to Push the Nuclear Button?

Posted on by

“The purpose of diplomacy is to prevent war. However, ever since the Clinton regime attacked Serbia, US diplomacy has been used to cause wars. During the 16-years of George W. Bush and Obama the US destroyed in whole or part seven countries, killing and maiming millions of peoples and producing millions of refugees. Not a single one of these wars was justified. Everyone of these wars was based in lies. Before launching each of these acts of unprovoked aggression, Washington demonized the leader of the country. To get rid of one person, Washington did not flinch at murdering large numbers of people and destroying the infrastructure of the country. This tells you that Washington has no morality. None. Zilch. Therefore, Washington is capable of launching a preemptive nuclear strike.”

US aiding Saudi ‘war crimes’ in Yemen: Congressman

Posted on by

“Thousands of people have been killed in the conflict and the Saudi-led coalition has bombed key infrastructure and imposed a strict blockade on the country.  Yemen is facing a dire humanitarian crisis and millions of people will die in what could be the worst famine in decades if the blockade is not lifted, the United Nations recently warned.  The US has assisted Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in ‘conducting aerial bombings in Yemen’ and provided ‘midair refueling services’ to their warplanes, according to the resolution, which was overwhelmingly adopted by a vote of 366-30.'”
