Global trade war, recession, and genocide

The global trade war was launched yesterday officially by the Trump regime. It is one of the last gasps and "lashing out" of a dying US empire. A global recession will follow but the biggest losers will be the western world (primarily US and EU) and its lackeys (those who tied their future with it like the Palestinian and other Arab "leaders"). My advice to them and others: end the genocide now and get rid of your US $ and any investments you have in multinational corporations tied to imperialism/Zionism (and thus to genocide) and focus on how to feed people in an era of climate change and job elimination (due to AI etc). Boycotts, divestment, sanctions will make the period of pain shorter as a new world order is being born (see bdsmovement.net). Dare we hope for a new era of peace, equality, free trade, and sustainability?

Mosab Abu Taha:

'I have to be honest this time and sorry if this is harsh.

I don't think that posting breaking news and photos and videos of our beautiful families getting crushed under the rubble in their sleep will change anything unless you all, especially you in the United States, do something different from last time. Your government is a partner in this mass slaughter. It has always been. I feel like we are starting from scratch. This will not work. This will not save the children and their parents and siblings who may be murdered while you are reading this. You, Americans, yes, Americans and not only your government, bear the responsibility for these crimes against humanity that we never failed to document both in journalism and art. This country boasts about having the best academic institutions in the world, and that is why you should never run short of ideas and tactics to counter the brutal justification and fueling of the killing and destruction in Gaza and all Palestine. It is your tax dollars that killed a large number of my family, friends, and students. And it should be you who must end this massive bloodshed.'

Stay Humane and keep hope alive

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay (more...)
