Posted March 26, 2024: Citing a Lack of Evidence, Editors of the Scientific American Call for Abolition of the Death Penalty in New Op-Ed https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/citing-a-lack-of-evidence-editors-of-the-scientific-american-call-for-abolition-of-the-death-penalty-in-new-op-ed
I have been studying the death penalty extensively since 1987. Over and over again, we see that PROSECUTING ATTORNEYS are NOT seeking truth or justice. THEY JUST WANT TO WIN, so they commit cruel acts, such as suppressing evidence that the defendant is INNOCENT. Here is yet another case of this. It came from www.deathpenaltyaction.org April 25, 2024 will be two years since the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals stayed Melissa Lucio’s execution date and ordered an evidentiary hearing. Why has the evidentiary hearing not been held? We know why. There was never a murder, so they have no […]
This is part of their methodology: Posted Feb 1, 2024: Officeholders Under Siege In recent years, elected officials in local and state governments across the country have faced a barrage of intimidation. A troubling new Brennan Center report compiles national surveys of state legislators and local officeholders, and the results are stark. These threats and attacks have made officials wary of freely interacting with constituents, taking controversial positions, and even continuing in public service at all. Unaddressed, the problem stands to endanger not just individual politicians but the functioning of representative democracy itself. Posted Feb 8, 2024: Thom […]
Political parties should derive their energy and support from the grassroots – and promote candidates that most voters want. But now we have two big, stupid corrupt political parties that are hell-bent to nominate for president two candidates who are OPPOSED BY MOST VOTERS, according to the opinion polls. But the parties don’t care about what the voters want. They are dominated by political elites and economic elites. They cram unpopular candidates down our throats. Indeed, both George W. Bush and Donald Trump LOST THE POPULAR VOTE, but the Supreme Court and the Electoral College (respectively) installed them as president. […]

President Biden has — for decades — been an EXTREME WAR HAWK — a fierce COLD WARRIOR. He is continuing that now that he is President. He has filled his administration with officials who strongly want wars against both Russia and China. Congress keeps appropriating more and more and more money for the Pentagon — and for provoking and escalating a new nuclear arms race. This was posted on October 14, 2023.

This long article has fascinating – and frightening – information. Almost no Americans know how horribly reckless, dangerous, crazy the U.S. policies for nuclear weapons have been for many decades. This article was posted March 27, 2024: America’s Nuclear War Plan in the 1960s Was Utter Madness. It Still Is. We rarely consider the dangers these days, but our existence depends on it. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/03/nuclear-war-scenario-book-siop-weapons-annie-jacobsen/
Military “solutions” do not work! They only make problems worse. Each side’s violence against the other side provides an excuse for retaliation. We must stop the cycle of violence. We must understand the root causes and use honest diplomacy (not bullying and threats) to solve the underlying problems. During the Cold War – and again now – each side’s fear of the other has led to an escalation of nuclear weapons that are more technologically sophisticated – and DESIGNED to make it easier to start a nuclear war. I have written about practical steps toward reversing that. We […]
