Martin Luther King, Jr., strongly supported peace, nonviolence, and social justice in many ways. He affirmed BOTH Israel and Palestine. He said Israel’s government must return the land it stole from Palestinian people. See this recent item reporting on what he had said in 1967: We Don’t Have to Guess What MLK Thought About the Israel-Palestine Conflict – Mother Jones

In the spring of 1968, President Johnson realized that his horribly unpopular war in Vietnam would PREVENT him from being re-elected, so he withdrew from his presidential campaign. His VP, Hubert Humphrey, became the Democratic nominee. But instead of listening to the public, which opposed the Vietnam War, Humphrey campaigned as a pro-war candidate. Richard Nixon campaigned as a “peace” candidate with a promise to end the war, so voters elected Nixon, even though he was horrible in every other way. Leading up to 2016, the Democratic Party kept promoting Hillary Clinton as the only candidate it would consider. (Remember […]
In addition to the TV programs I have listed below, I have produced many other TV programs about peace, excessive military spending, changing to a nonviolent foreign policy, grassroots organizing to make bold improvements in our society, etc. See links to ALL TV programs since January 2018 at this part of my blog: https://parallaxperspectives.org/category/tv-programs-parallax-perspectives-series Here are links to the TV programs specifically focusing on nuclear weapons: January 2024: “U.N.

Pope Francis message for 2023 Christmas included this: “To say “yes” to the Prince of Peace, then, means saying “no” to war, to every war and to do so with courage, to the very mindset of war, an aimless voyage, a defeat without victors, an inexcusable folly. This is what war is: an aimless voyage, a defeat without victors, an inexcusable folly. To say “no” to war means saying “no” to weaponry. The human heart is weak and impulsive; if we find instruments of death in our hands, sooner or later we will use them. And how can we even […]

If YOU — or anyone you know — would like VERY BRIEF information about nuclear weapons, the link below will provide about a dozen VERY SHORT VIDEOS (about one minute each) about various aspects of nuclear weapons. Glen Anderson and a volunteer produced these for our statewide coalition, Washington Against Nuclear Weapons (www.wanwcoalition.org), so they could be shared widely to friends, families, social media, etc. I warmly invite you to WATCH AND SHARE these. This link takes you to the collection of about a dozen VERY SHORT VIDEOS: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NSSLTdbgHHF9cP-GQ0jC0lSPAwqp_srU
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 – […]
I compiled this list. You will find much information here from many excellent sources. Nuclear Weapons Information Sources — UPDATED to Dec. 2023
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.”
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 […]
Joe Biden has a long history of VIGOROUS SUPPORT FOR WAR. He has carried that into his presidential administration. He has appointed MANY EXTREME WAR-HAWKS to powerful positions in his administration. One of the worst is Elliott Abrams, who has committed HORRIBLE WAR CRIMES for George W. Bush and other administrations. Elliott Abrams is a NOTORIOUS ENEMY of human rights and democracy in other nations. SEE THIS: ‘Totally Indefensible’: Biden Nominates Death Squad Backer Elliott Abrams to Diplomacy Panel. “Elliott Abrams, enemy of human rights, apologist for mass murder, should have no place within spitting distance of any Democratic […]
We need to de-escalate the war in Israel-Palestine. Likewise, we need to STOP both Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. End hate crimes
For decades the U.S. government — and compliant mainstream news media — pretended that Henry Kissinger was a great diplomat, when actually he was the opposite. He PERSISTENTLY promoted violence, opposed human rights, and committed war crimes. Now after he died on Nov. 29, 2023, at the age of 100, some people are reporting the truth about him. Henry Kissinger, America’s Most Notorious War Criminal, Dies At 100. The titan of American foreign policy was complicit in millions of deaths — and never showed remorse for his decisions. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/henry-kissinger-dies_n_6376933ae4b0afce046cb44f?email_hash=d82661dbaf9d922be74896a49d247c55ffc55d54 Henry Kissinger was a war criminal: https://www.rawstory.com/henry-kissinger-war-criminal/ This article summarizes […]
