This is a masterful account of how people in the United States and around the world worked to abolish war as a legitimate act of state policy and won in 1928, outlawing war with a treaty that is still on the books. Swanson’s account of the successful work of those who came before us to insist that war be outlawed points us toward new ways of thinking about both war and political activism.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will resign after the makeup of the nation’s new coalition government is decided, officials said Sunday.
Sunday’s Cabinet meeting will be the last with Papandreou as prime minister, a government spokesman said in a statement. The meeting will focus on issues relating to Monday’s Euro group meeting, at which Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos will represent Greece, the statement said.
A spokesman for Papandreou’s Socialist PASOK party said the (…)

We are extremely concerned at reports that plans are being drawn up for an attack on Iran
The case being made for war on Iran is based on a series of speculations about ’undisclosed nuclear-related activities’ reminiscent of the disproven ’intelligence’ about weapons of mass destruction used to justify the disastrous attack on Iraq.
The West’s attitude to Iran’s nuclear weapons is hypocritical and contradictory.
The US and its allies remain silent about Israel’s covert nuclear arsenal, (…)

After the recent news stories broke about the debit card rebellion the atmosphere in the board rooms of the banking giants of America must have been chilling with cell phones ringing, emails flashing across the screens, senior executives blaming each for the disaster and junior executives bracing for the inevitable chopping block punishment. For the giants with an almost $340 billion of combined capitalization, the back-pedaling could not have been a pretty sight. And, it was all over an (…)

1.5 million Armenians perished in the Turkish-imposed Armenian Genocide (1915-1923). However Turkey denies the Armenian Genocide and the US, US Zionists and Apartheid Israel refuse to acknowledge the genocidal nature of the atrocity. British and Australian invasion of Turkey in 1915 contributed to the deadly and catastrophic Turkish xenophobia but British and Australian historians have largely deleted this atrocity from their national histories. While Armenian American celebrity Kim (…)

It is necessary to take into account that while many nations are going through a crisis, the country has the potential to get out of poverty.
Guatemala will not get out of poverty if we continue with an economy of survival, dependence, indebtedness and false social (…)

Dear Iran,
Great numbers of Americans opposed the wars in Afghanistan (Pakistan), Iraq, Libya, Yemen, et. al.
You could not know this reality based on media coverage but it remains a fact. Since Reagan bombed Libya our presidents have systematically gutted our constitution and, while we are trying to wrest control back from the military/politicocorporatocracy, it will be too late for you.
Please accept this warning from the American people and know that we did not wish this fate upon (…)

UnBelievable! The US is using Nuclear Weapons in the Central Asian War
(San Francisco) Mr. President, for years now Do-Gooders, PeaceNiks and assorted anti-military types have talked incessantly about the imponderables of possible, potential, IF or maybe war-time use of nuclear weapons.
Well, the United States Military has finally done it. They have had and are using nuclear weapons in the Central Asian War; at Fallujah, Iraq to be exact. This War Crime is proven to have commenced at (…)

Interview with André Bouny*, author of Agent Orange in Vietnam Apocalypse, by journalist Silvia Cattori**
In the past the United States fought in Vietnam devastating using chemical weapons against communism, a regime that so embodied the struggle for national independence of the Vietnamese people who opposed their rule. Today, continuing the same policies as absurd as unjustifiable, from Afghanistan to Iraq through Serbia, from Lebanon to Gaza, the United States, NATO and Israel throw (…)

Israel Called Biggest Threat to World Peace - by Stephen Lendman
America easily takes top honors, followed by Israel, Britain, and France, the real axis of evil.
In Israel’s case, it’s easy to see why. It’s been top regional rogue state for decades. No other Middle East nation matches it.
A new European Commission poll rated 15 countries. Respondents called Israel the biggest threat to world peace. So did past surveys, including a previous 2003 European Commission one.
