The Military is the Extremism According to a headline in The Hill newspaper, which takes a position typical of U.S. corporate media, "New Year's attacks fuel fears of extremism in military." In other words, an institution openly dedicated to mass killing and destruction may have fallen victim to infiltration by "extremists." As if there could be something more extreme than a military.

We Are One-Quarter Through War's Last Century There are clearly two ways in which this could be war's last century, and I'm betting we'll get either one or the other. In one, war eliminates us. End of story. In the other we eliminate war. Beginning of story.

It's Time to De-Normalize Murder I was asked to talk about Gaza and Syria, and so I shall, but I also want to talk about de-normalizing murder. There have been human societies in which murder was unthinkable, where the most typical Hollywood movie -- marketed to U.S. children -- has been seen as horrific and traumatizing. Normalizing murder is an option, not required by genes or economics or physics. I want us to take responsibility for that.

The U.S. Congress Pretends to Exist I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do have a question. If the $16 billion just spent on a U.S. election were spent next time on educating, training, mobilizing, and sustaining a nonviolent surrounding of the State Department until it complied with U.S. laws, would that do more good?

Peace Decides Elections The United States just held a presidential election between two pro-war, militarist candidates, each of whom could have been expected to shift yet more funding into war preparations, to arm the genocide in Palestine, and to wage and threaten war with abandon. And yet peace was, as it often is, a deciding factor.

The Message and War One insight in particular strikes me, and it is related to what Coates regrets about his article on reparations, namely his use of the example of German reparations to Israel.

Cherry Trees Blooming in Winter In my town the cherry trees now bloom as winter approaches, and the curious thing is that people no longer mention the lovely spring days in November without adding they they are aware it's an indication of a climate collapse that may rapidly render human life on Earth impossible. Everyone not only knows it but says it.

Politics and War By Other Means U.S. presidents are not servants of Russia. They are servants of the Israel lobby, of weapons dealers, of banks, of corporations, of media outlets, of those who legally bribe them by paying for their campaigns, of those who provide jobs through pretty much the only means the U.S. government supports (the war industry), of those who control the major media cartel, and of...

The Votes Against Harris that Never Get Mentioned Kamala Harris stands a good chance of losing the election over Gaza, and the people who so decide it will probably mostly not be Muslim or Arab -- they will likely be people of all backgrounds who were raised to believe that genocide was simply unacceptable, and that lies -- no matter how often repeated -- should not determine one's understanding of the world.

Nobel Peace Prize Goes to Qualified Recipient for First Time in at Least Six Years Congratulations are in order for Nihon Hidankyo, the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations. The Nobel Peace Prize has for the first time in at least six years gone to a group of people who work to reduce warmaking, people who in fact seek to abolish nuclear weapons. Nihon Hidankyo has relentlessly done the work of educating the world, thanklessly, for many years.

Undercounting Deaths in Gaza While Claiming It's the Worst War Ever Worst war ever? Depends how you look at it. But you have to start with a serious look at the death count.

We Can Learn from the Greensboro Massacre A new book called Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre And The Struggle For An American City's Soul by Aran Shetterly provides a detailed examination, in historical context, of a largely forgotten incident in which KKK and Nazi shooters (some of them veterans of the war on Vietnam), with the complicity of local and federal "law enforcement," shot at black people in Greensboro, North Carolina, killing five, wounding many.

The Israeli Government Must Be Stopped The Israeli government has been dragging Western weapons and militaries into wars for far too long, putting all of the world -- and its global institutions -- at risk. The move into Lebanon, creating more dead, injured, traumatized, and homeless already in huge numbers ought to snap some war supporters out of their trance.
