U.S. OFFICIAL CAUGHT ON TAPE: “Venezuela will be a field day for American oil companies – 1 TRILLION dollars in economic activity” Ah, you see? There it is, plain as day, the voice of empire speaking without even the decency to blush. These are not the words of some wild-eyed

EUROPE’S SILENT MARCH TOWARD DOOMSDAY: The continent is sleepwalking into a war nobody is willing to name. Imagine waking up one morning to discover that the leaders you elected have quietly decided your sons and daughters must now prepare to fight Russia, alone, on a

Listen, I’m not pro Russia. I’m a US citizen who is critical of my country and its role in war making, historically and today. I think all modern nation states do horrific shit behind the scenes and sacrifice ordinary everyday people to build gold and power, domestically

No draft in the shadows. Tell us the price — or drop the goal. In times like these—when talk of war with Russia fills headlines and generals warn we must steel ourselves to “lose our children”—the dream and promise of democracy demands one thing above all: honesty from leaders

“I don't want to go to war because I don't want to die or I don't want to be shot at," said Jimi, a 17-year-old student from Berlin, who attended an anti-conscription protest outside the Bundestag earlier this week. "I also don't want to shoot people." https://t.co/iHFbtlcAg9

Hoover’s Reconstruction Finance Corporation bailed banks, not families. Business leaders—Henry Ford’s spies, GM’s Pinkertons—beat strikers, blacklisted organizers, and branded hunger “laziness.” Police clubbed veterans in the 1932 Bonus Army massacre. Nonetheless, ordinary

In the last few days, right-wing MAGA/MIGA accounts (and my apologies for the generalization and for those once MAGA folks that are truly anti-war and anti-interventionalist) are pushing another regime change plan—how many now? Forty-one in Latin America alone since 1898, from
