Pursuing the Peace Prize with
Tariffs, Sanctions, and War Crimes?

Maybe the Donald is playing 5D chess in his quest for the peace prize. He has certainly brought the non-western world together like never before as they unite in an effort to cope with US bullying. Their unity was on display this week at the SCO, the China celebration of the end of WWII, and the Eastern Economic Forum. Meanwhile in the west there was an impotent meeting of the so called coalition of the willing in France. The US illegally blew up a suspected drug boat in its effort to stir up a war with Venezuela, and the big pharma shills in congress attack RFK and his reforms.

I'm disgusted with Israel's genocidal, apartheid politics and Washington's unconditional support. Unlike a lot people online I actually participated in the anti-war protests.

What I Got Right About The Iraq War

By Dick Cheney

On the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, it’s important for us as a nation to reflect on that conflict and its consequences. As the vice president of the United States in 2003, I was one of the architects of the project to go after Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. Today, I believe it’s important to offer an honest assessment of my role in the Iraq War. Looking back on it now, I have to say that, wow, I mostly got it right.

You don't often see well-researched, deep-dive journalism anymore, so I thought I would bring this one to your attention. It's called "The Night Raids" by Lynzy Billing.
She spent years researching what was essentially murder squads created by CIA as they committed one war crime after another.

And yet the audience laughs. It just shows how corrupt out political class is.

About a month ago a Saudi air strike on a detention centre in north-western Yemen, according to Doctors without Borders, killed at least 80 people and injured over 200. The laser-guided bomb used in the attack was manufactured by Raytheon.

Considering how much that we've heard about the single drone strike that killed an Afghanistan family, you could be forgiven for thinking that President Biden was simply continuing, or even increasing, our global drone war.

When a man with a gun steals from a bank, he's called a bank robber, and he's looking at hard time.
When a CEO steals from a bank, it's called fraud, maybe, and he has to pay a fine.
When a man with a truck bomb blows up a wedding, or a school, or a hospital, he's called a terrorist.
When a man with a Reaper drone blows up a wedding, or a school, or a hospital, it's called collateral damage.

Donald Trump is ending his presidency in the most disgusting style imaginable. He's decided to set aside laws and procedures in order to kill.
