Many Republicans AGGRESSIVELY PROMOTE homosexuality

December 26, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

In addition to vigorously opposing abortion, many Republican politicians want to sharply restrict birth control. Those Republicans are INTERFERING with — and thereby OPPOSING — heterosexual activities. Unwittingly, those Republicans are telling people to meet their sexual needs WITHOUT persons of the opposite sex. To avoid pregnancy, women should have sexual intercourse only with other women. To avoid impregnating women, men should have sexual intercourse only with other men. Who would have guessed that Republicans are such big supporters of the gay/lesbian movement?

Nuclear power is ABSOLUTELY NOT a remedy for the climate crisis! See these highly informative resources.

December 26, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

The nuclear power industry has fooled many politicians — and much of the mainstream media — into thinking that nuclear power is a remedy for the climate crisis.  It absolutely is NOT. I collected many smart, informative information resources debunking the scam of nuclear power as a remedy for the climate crisis.  See the links in this document:  Nuclear Power Is NOT a Remedy for the Climate Crisis   For your convenience, I have also copied the links here:   Triple nuclear plan lands with a thud:  December 19, 2023:  https://beyondnuclear.org/triple-nuclear-plan-lands-with-a-thud/   Biden wants to TRIPLE nuclear power!  He must […]

U.N. Update on Nuclear Weapons Treaty

December 25, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

The January 2024 TV program in the “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” series provides  the newest update about a powerful, inspiring, exciting worldwide movement to abolish all nuclear weapons. Nine nations in the world have nuclear weapons.  Most of the world’s nations are angry at them for holding the entire world hostage with the threat of destroying the world in nuclear war. In July 2017 the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).  Now 69 nations have ratified the Treaty and are bringing its strong requirements into their own national laws. Just recently – […]

“No room at the inn” — U.S. policies provoke immigration but refuses to accommodate the victims

December 25, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

The Christmas story highlights a young family — Joseph and Mary who was 9 months pregnant — who were forced by the oppressive undemocratic government that ruled over them to travel to a distant place.  But there was “no room at the inn,” so they had no choice but to stay in a stable, where Mary gave birth to Jesus. This iconic story of gross injustice keeps playing out nowadays with different characters and new ironies. For many decades the U.S. has supported brutal right-wing governments (sometimes overthrowing democracies in order to install those oppressive regimes) in Latin America and […]

Islam teaches nonviolence, human rights, compassion, fairness and peace.

December 17, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

Most Americans do not understand or appreciate Islam.  Much of what people think is not accurate at all.  Despite how some people have perverted the faith, Islam actually teaches positive values, including compassion, fairness, social/economic justice, nonviolence and peace. Don’t let the perversions by some individuals and groups deceive you. Christianity also teaches nonviolence, love, compassion, social/economic justice, and peace.  But for about 1,700 years, national leaders and war-hawks have perverted it into blessing their wars. Likewise, Gandhi kept affirming throughout his life that his Hindu faith inspired his nonviolence.  However, during most of India’s history since gaining independence in […]

Fossil Fuel Industry Hijacks Global Climate COP Summits

December 7, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

Al Gore Says Fossil Fuel Industry Has “Captured the COP Process.”  The article linked here — https://www.commondreams.org/news/al-gore-cop28 — says this:  “The former U.S. vice president accused the United Arab Emirates of ‘abusing the public’s trust’ by naming the CEO of its national oil company as president of COP28.  Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore said Sunday that fossil fuel interests have effectively seized the reins of the United Nations climate summit process, preventing the kind of ambitious action that scientists say is necessary to prevent catastrophic warming and all of its cascading impacts.”   COP28: Amy Goodman Attempts to Question […]

Biden’s wars antagonize voters and suppress turnout! Biden’s wars will elect Trump + Republicans!

December 7, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

The Democratic Party is electing Trump again. In 2016 the Democratic Party crammed Hillary Clinton down our throats, even though Democratic voters preferred other candidates. Hillary Clinton was a HORRIBLE WAR-HAWK! She was TOTALLY SUBSERVIENT TO BIG BUSINESS – and was making huge amounts of money speaking to audiences of Wall Street bankers. She was so horrible that Trump was able to run on her political LEFT for peace and claiming to be the champion of ordinary workers. The Democratic Party thought Hillary Clinton would win in a landslide because Trump was such a wacko.   The Democratic Party LEARNED […]

“Why is there always money for war but not for education?” “Killing one person is murder – Killing 100,000 is foreign policy.” “Honor veterans – No more war.” “I think when Jesus said ‘Love your enemies,” he meant not to kill them.”

How to discuss global issues without “triggering” a negative dogmatic reaction

December 4, 2023 GlenAnderson 0

During a recent peace vigil in downtown Olympia, I held a sign:  “New treaty prohibits nuclear weapons.”  A pedestrian came along and struck up a conversation.  We talked for about 20 minutes about a wide range of issues. One of his recurring points led me to post this message to my blog. Many people in the peace movement want to transcend narrow nationalism and affirm “world citizenship.” The person I talked with kept expressing disagreement with the “globalists” who want to dominate the world.  In our conversation I got him to clarify that what he was opposed to was “global […]
