  • The U.S. Has Imposed Sanctions on Georgia and Nicaragua …

    Source: Georgia Today Politicians in the small Caucasian nation of Georgia have been sanctioned by Washington for “undermining democracy” and depriving Georgian people of “fundamental freedoms,” simply because its parliament has passed a law to control foreign influence over Georgian politics.

    The Explosive Growth of U.S. Militarism after the End of the Soviet Union

    Instead of there being the U.S.-Government-promised ‘peace dividend’ after the Soviet Union ended in 1991, there has been soaring militarism by the U.S., and also soaring profits for the American producers of war-weapons. Both the profits on this, and the escalation in America’s aggressiveness following after 1991, have been stunning. Whereas there were 53 “Instances […]

  • At Sixty-Five, the Peace Symbol Endures; Peace Not So Much

    At Sixty-Five, the Peace Symbol Endures; Peace Not So Much

    Banksy used it in an art piece; German soccer players wore it on their uniforms to protest the Russian invasion of Ukraine; kids in Canada decorated cupcakes with it during its annual fundraising drive. At sixty-five, the Peace Symbol survives. Peace, on the other hand, not so much! Sixty-five years ago, British artist Gerald Holtom […]
