But first, I’d like to say a few words about war and militarism.
This nation was founded on the original sins of genocide and slavery. In 1967 at Riverside Baptist Church Martin Luther King, Jr. later called the US the largest exporter of violence on the planet, and had called out Amerika for its triple evils of militarism, racism, and capitalism.
I used to think that the western nations were just turning a blind eye to the rise of the neo-Nazis in eastern Europe.
Then I spotted this.
Tensions are rising fast in the northern Black Sea and the U.S. has taken sides.
Have no doubt, the courts are being stacked with corporate elitists...not just in the US but around the world. There's no better illustration than the ongoing saga in Brazil. First while the Olympics were in Brazil the courts illegally oust Dilma as President and install Temer who failed to be elected several times. This summer past-President Lula is leading the polls, so he's sent to prison on trumped up charges...not given his constitutional rights. In Poland they are removing 27 judges from their Supreme Court. Around the world courts have been complicit with coups. Honduras comes to mind.
The world is aghast! President Trump actually wants to (gulp) TALK PEACE WITH PUTIN!
I've pointed out that Turkey and the U.S. are in an armed standoff over the city of Manbij, Syria.
Largely overlooked is a dangerous escalation of tensions between two NATO allies.
Trump's promise to stop arming the Kurds in Turkey was not enough.
Do you remember when Senator McCain accused Senator Paul of "working for Vladimir Putin”?
If you don't remember, it was all because of Scary Russia trying to overthrow the government of Montenegro.
Some in the media are reporting that Trump handed Merkel a "bill" for 300 billion for U.S./NATO war and imperialism spending. The White House is saying that is not true but it doesn't matter, the narrative is out there and the people are swallowing it.
The Syria "civil" war began in 2011 after unrest occurred in the context of the manufactured Arab Spring protests.
