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 […]
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 […]
The death penalty exists in federal law — and also under military law. More and more states have been abolishing it, but these states still have death penalty laws, but some of these states are not using it: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. If you have family or friends in any of those states, you can help them abolish their states’ death penalty in THESE TWO smart ways: 1. Here is a […]
Very often, conservatives and complicit (negligent) mainstream media want to frighten us about something. Very often, the fears they are promoting are based on propaganda and lies. They want to frighten us and stampede us into bad “solutions” (more nuclear weapons, “tough-on-crime” laws, oppression of LGBTQ+ people, etc. Now the big new scary thing is a “crime wave.” Actually, this is bogus. See these sources of information: This was posted on October 17, 2023: https://popular.info/p/americas-zombie-crime-wave?publication_id=1664&post_id=138025852&isFreemail=true&r=2gj9g5 We need to reform and humanize our criminal justice system, but this was reported on May3, 2023: “Media Crime Hype Helps Roll Back […]
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
December 10 is the annual day to celebrate and work for human rights! Many of the problems in our world — and in our nation — would be solved if people and governments respected human rights. The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirms a bold, powerful agenda for what we need to be working for. Read it here every year on or before December 10 and find ways to organize to actually implement it. https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights
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 […]
Nonviolence — Some Short Quotations
We need to recognize that our national culture is trapped in myths, values, beliefs, and an educational system that are the OPPOSITE of Nonviolence. In the 1760s and 1770s, nonviolent resistance was already winning independence for the 13 colonies before the Revolutionary War started killing British troops and thereby gave England a reason to violently wage war against the colonies. Gene Sharp’s research showed that we would have achieved independence sooner if we had continued nonviolent resistance instead of resorting to war. We have worshiped the military ever since, even though the U.S. has not won a war since World […]
One of the many reasons why I oppose the Israeli government’s war against Palestinian people is that Israel’s government is actually HURTING the Jewish faith by VIOLATING some of its core ethical values: The First Commandment says we must have no other gods besides the one true God. But Israel’s government violates that commandment by worshiping the false idol of nationalism and the false idol of military violence. I wish they would put their faith in God instead of military weapons. Other commandments prohibit coveting anything that belongs to our neighbors. But Israel’s government is breaking that commandment by coveting […]
