When people talk about the "war machine," I sometimes wonder if they know exactly what it is. Many would say that the war machine is simply the United States military and it's far reaching tentacles that are the result of America's foreign policy...
So many are its lies, that narrowing them down to three of the most important is a demanding task. But our current crisis has been chiefly enabled by monetary policy, fiscal policy, and the global military empire.
Watching top U.S. intelligence officials present the annual “Worldwide Threat Assessment” before the Senate Intelligence Committee, I found myself wondering if they would depart from the key (if politically delicate) consensus judgment that Iran is N
I am not just an antiwar activist, I am a peacemonger--being a peacemonger goes far beyond just being "against" wars. Being a peacemonger means connecting an almost infinite number of dots to try and figure out why it seems this nation is in almost c
...after learning that our nations borders are vastly under defended and contrasting that with my experiences defending two other nations borders overseas, I started educating myself on what was going on in the world and I could no longer pretend
Heading for war on Syria
Alan Dershowitz on the loose.
Heading for war on Syria
With almost a decade under its belt, our multi-front war on a vaguely defined notion of terrorism targeting never-really-defined enemies across the world and here in the newly rephrased ‘homeland’ has come to define the state of our nation.
Why is the US involved in endless war around the world? Why, for that matter, do nations – or, rather, their governments – act the way they do? The number of answers is no doubt nearly equal to the number of questioners.
We are used to hearing discussion of political issues boiled down to a conflict between the individual and the greater good. Nearly anyone’s pet project for government can be sold as a way to promote the common, or general interest
Before I begin, let me say that America is a wonderful country, and I truly love it. But the country and the government are not the same thing.
I still occasionally see a bumper-sticker that says, "If you love your freedom, thank a U.S. veteran." And if you ended up living under Soviet control, after the Allies gave Stalin half of Europe, should you thank a U.S. veteran for that, too?
It occurs to me that when we speak of war, we often confuse justifiable resistance of people to evil with the propaganda-driven fiascos pursued by governments in order to consolidate or expand power, or to satisfy the corporate demands placed on poli
A powerful anti-war indictment
[LANGUAGE!] You might be noticing I don't feel about that war the way we were told we were supposed to feel about that war. The way we were ordered and instructed by the United States Government to feel about that war; see my mind doesn't work that w
The White House received a letter last year purported to come directly from Mullah Omar, the reclusive leader of the Taliban, asking the United States to deliver militant prisoners whose transfer is now at the heart of the Obama administration's bid
To believe that war can ever be "good" is to believe not only that the academic hypotheticals are accurate representations of the real-world conflict and that violence is always the only solution, we must also believe in lies that are deeply ingraine
So I have to ask, is it time? The time is now, the threat is clear, the bands of tyranny are tightening around America, and it is our duty to resist!
"This is not a resolution to declare war. We know that. This is a resolution that does something much different. This resolution transfers the responsibility, the authority, and the power of the Congress to the President so he can declare war when an
Ehren K. Watada (born 1978) is a First Lieutenant of the United States Army, known for being the first commissioned officer in the US armed forces to refuse to deploy to Iraq, in June, 2006.
How did it happen? How did Christians lose their love? Of course, our Lord predicted that the day would come when “the love of many shall wax cold.” (Matthew 24:12
In his speech President Kennedy addresses the recent death of U.N. Secretary-General Hammarskjold, presents six proposals for the new Disarmament Program, and provides information on the current crises in Berlin, Germany, Laos, and South Vietnam. Pre
In the 1960's an anti-war movement emerged that altered the course of history. This movement didn't take place on college campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It flourished in army stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns
John Lennon is established as being a potential political threat to the American government, and therefore much of the film covers the theme of 'silencing' him and other popular figures that became involved in anti-war activism.
Washington plans Syria regime change
When President Obama announced last April that he was sending the United States military to bomb Libya, he not only violated the United States Constitution, which he has taken an oath to uphold, but he also violated the moral principles of the just w
Has Iran decided to build a nuclear bomb? That would seem to be the central question in the current bellicose debate over whether the world should simply cripple Iran’s economy and inflict severe pain on its civilian population or launch a preemptive
The reasons for joining up are many, and most men and women that I've worked around signed up for practical reasons. This is contrary to the publicly touted “patriotism” (although this does exist) or the desire to go kill brown people (and unfortuna
Switzerland has not been in a foreign war of any kind since 1815. This would be astounding, even miraculous, for any nation. But Switzerland borders Germany. And France. And Italy. And Austria. And Liechtenstein.
