  • California Law Mandates That Public School Children Be Taught About State’s Genocide of Indigenous Peoples

    California Law Mandates That Public School Children Be Taught About State’s Genocide of Indigenous Peoples

    From the time the Europeans arrived on American shores, the U.S. government authorized more than 1,500 wars and attacks on Indigenous people and at the conclusion of the “Indian wars” in the late 19th century, of the estimated 10 million to 15 million native peoples, fewer than 238,000 remained. In the past I’ve written about […]

  • The Myopia of Anglo-American Rulers

    The Myopia of Anglo-American Rulers

    International Relations (IR) theory fails to deliver on one of its key promises, specifically to produce positivist, value free analysis. What we encounter in the vast majority of international theory is the provincial or parochial normative purpose of defending and celebrating the ideal of the West in world politics. IR theory can no longer be […]

    Cuba under Intensified US Sanctions Confronts its Greatest Challenge

    The majority of Cubans support Castro…every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba…to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government. — Lester D. Mallory, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, 1960 Despite draconian coercive measures by the US – overwhelmingly condemned every […]

  • Nuclear Fever: War Mongering on Iran

    The recent string of exaggerated military successes – or at least as they are understood to be – places Israel in a situation it has been previously used to: prowess in war.  Such prowess promises much: redrawing boundaries; overthrowing governments; destroying the capabilities of adversaries and enemies.  Nothing, in this equation, contemplates peace, let alone […]

  • Denouncing the Renewal of the U.S.-Kenya Mission to Haiti

    The Haiti/Americas Team of the Black Alliance for Peace strongly denounces the UN Security Council’s vote to extend the U.S. funded, Kenya-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti. We assert that any U.S./UN-led armed intervention in Haiti is not only unjustifiable but also unlawful. We stand with the Haitian people and civil society groups […]

  • The Badly Tarnished Nobel Peace Prize is Finally Awarded to a Group that Truly Deserves It

    Hiroshima (left, which the US destroyed with the first atomic bomb ever used in war on Aug. 6, 1945, and Nagasaki, which the US destroyed three days later on Aug. 9 with the last atomic used in war so far. Over a quarter million people, mostly women and children, died in the two blasts, which […]

  • Deconstructing a Military Mindset

    The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of Georgia Tech, the US Air Force, Department of Defense, or the US Government. Somewhere around the age of 20, I sat in a large auditorium at the United States Air Force Academy with a thousand other cadets and […]

  • Who are We to Accuse Iran of “Malign Influence”?

    “I said it loud and clear — and meant it — that I support Zionism without qualification,” Keir Starmer told Jewish News. So our brand-new prime minister has refused to rule out UK military involvement in any Israeli response to Iran’s recent missile attack, condemning what he calls Iran’s “malign role” in the Middle East. […]

  • Macron’s Arms Embargo on Israel Crumbles Under Scrutiny

    Emmanuel Macron and the macaron have many similarities. Both the French President and the French dessert are airy and insubstantial and are loved by the rich elite. For these reasons, it was a surprise to many when Macron announced his support for an end to arms deliveries to the Israeli terrorist regime. For a neoliberal […]

  • The Retreat of Free Trade

    Free markets?  Free trade?  The modern economic world has little time for these erroneous, misdirected terms.  More evident are the feelings of resentment, prejudice and indignant parochialism more accurately called My Country First, and Everyone Else Last.  Back your industries; hobble the competitors.  And everyone is doing it, except certain ideologues who, childishly, cling to […]
