The U.S. Congress Pretends to Exist
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War
Whether you object to genocide or internalize every scrap of Israeli propaganda, there isn’t any way in ordinary English to dispute that each shipment of weapons from the United States to Israel, whether given or sold, violates numerous U.S. laws, including the Foreign Assistance Act, the Arms Export Control Act, the Conventional Arms Transfer Policy, and the Leahy Law, and at the very least assists Israel in committing the acts criminalized by the Genocide Convention Implementation Act and the U.S. War Crimes Act.
There’s also no way to dispute that Secretary of State Blinken was told in writing by his own staff and the staff of USAID that some of these laws were being violated, and proceeded to lie to Congress about it.
It would be even harder to dispute that Congress Members know that laws that Congress created are being blatantly violated, and that Congress is being blatantly — and illegally — lied to.
The Moral "Free Speech" Bastion of Earth: Hollywood, Media, and Progressive Hypocrisy
Chris Spencer
Based, in part, on: Raymond Chandler, on the Struggles of Hollywood Writers, The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1945/11/writers-in-hollywood/
Raymond Chandler was an author and a screenwriter. He is best known for his detective novels and their protagonist, the private detective Philip Marlowe. More...
Hollywood likes to fancy itself as the moral guardian of the world, a fearless lighthouse of justice, equality, and social activism. The red carpet is a platform for star-studded declarations of steadfast support for human rights, climate change activism, gender equality, and advancing cause of wokeness. The Oscars are no longer a celebration of cinematic achievement, but have morphed into a freakish, politically-correct ritual where actors lecture us on the evils of the world and demand change from their gilded platforms.
Hollywood manages to juggle a rather odd set of moral contradictions - glaring silence and active complicity when it comes to some of the most horrific and ongoing human rights abuses on Earth. It's the same Hollywood that boasts about its "moral bastion" that dares to lecture the world on matters concerning human dignity, equity, and justice.
Rising Death Rates and Health Injuries from Covid Vax Can No Longer Be Covered up
Paul Craig Roberts
Joining Ireland’s call is Dr. Francis Boyle, author of the U.S. ‘Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorist Act of 1989’
Do you remember when myself and a very few others warned you to avoid the Covid “vaccine”? We were accused of spreading misinformation that would increase the lethality of Covid-19 by discouraging people from protecting themselves with a “safe and effective vaccine,” to use words from the lying mouths of Tony Fauci and Joe Biden.
Now medical experts and public authorities are calling for a halt to all mRNA vaccination. The rising deaths and enormous increase in deadly diseases and health conditions following the mass vaccinations can no longer be denied.

Are Bing.com, Bing's AI Chat, and Microsoft Copilot Biased? Pro-Zionist and Pro-Corporatist Like Bill Gates?
Chris Spencer
In the modern technological world, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily digital platforms is rapid. As people increasingly rely on search engines and AI-powered tools for tasks ranging from simple queries to complex problem-solving, platforms such as Bing.com, Bing's AI Chat, and Microsoft Copilot have profoundly shaped how information is accessed, processed, and delivered. However, as these platforms become central to everyday life, questions about bias and corporate influence particularly regarding their pro-Zionist leanings have emerged.
This issue gains more relevance when discussing Bill Gates, a co-founder of Microsoft and one of the wealthiest individuals in the world. Gates' corporate ties and philanthropic ventures have often aligned with pro-corporate and Zionist political causes, raising questions about whether these ideologies influence Microsoft products, including Bing and its AI tools.
This article examines potential bias within Bing's algorithms, its AI-generated content, and content moderation practices. We also consider how Microsoft's corporate relationships especially the personal ties of Bill Gates could affect the ability of its platforms to serve specific political interests, particularly those connected to Zionism.

Palestine and Israel – From Herzl to Lavender AI Technological Apartheid
by Tracy Turner
Part 1: 1850s to 1940s – Early Zionism, Colonialism, and the Holocaust
The Official Story
In the late 19th century, modern Zionism started as being framed by "returning to the land" following almost 2,000 years of exile. The early Zionist movement, led by figures such as Theodor Herzl, viewed the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine as a necessity for Jewish self-determination and a moral imperative due to the growing rise of antisemitism in Europe. Zionism was a progressive movement for peace, cohabitation, and prosperity in the Middle East.
The Shoah of World War II is regularly used to legitimatize the State of Israel. This narrative necessarily focuses on the plight of European Jews, portraying the creation of the State of Israel as a direct and necessary response to this genocide, a haven for Jews from persecution.
Actual Events
The history of Zionism from the late 19th century is hugely more complex. Herzl and early Zionist leaders negotiated with imperial powers, mainly the British, to secure control over Palestine. These early efforts at colonization were not just about providing a refuge for Jews but establishing a settler-colonial state.
The Consumptive Sabotage Mindset of the United States and the Looming Global Extinction Event
by Tracy Turner
In two previous articles, we reviewed two critical elements of humanity's irresponsible march toward ecological oblivion: the environmental aftermath of the 2024 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster and the long history of environmental racism embedded in the nuclear energy industry. The first paper discussed continued repercussions of the Fukushima disaster: ecological destruction, health risks to local populations and to the world at large, and how even today TEPCO has continued to play its part in creating this grim legacy of contamination and mismanagement. ("Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster," 2024). It was the deconstruction of systemic injustices involved in nuclear energy, focused on the exploitation of Indigenous communities and other marginalized populations through uranium mining, nuclear testing, and waste disposal, that has seemingly built this global industry on the backs of the oppressed ("Nuclear Racism," 2024). EV owners are investors in “future” nuclear.
One can also realize in both of these pieces how an environmental crisis, born out of uncontrolled greed and ignorance, has brought the planet to the brink of disaster, contributing to the breakdown of ecosystems, poisoning whole regions, and destroying countless life patterns. In this third article, we look further back and widen the lens to look at the mindset beneath this devastation—the consumptive sabotage mindset of the United States and its role in spearheading a global extinction event.
How lies become facts and the world ends
Paul Craig Roberts
Endless repetition by whore media and careless media turn lies into truth.
Whatever media you read, you read that “Russia invaded Ukraine.” The lie is not limited to official narrative-controllers, such as the NY Times, Washington Post, Reuters, AP, Bloomberg, CNN. Wikipedia, NPR, ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, Telegraph, Guardian. It appears in alternative media, such as the Epoch Times and Breitbart. Indeed, the lie is repeated as fact almost everywhere, in the houses of Congress, the UK Parliament, Wall Street, European media and governments.
The fact is there was no Russian invasion at all. Russian forces entered Donbas at the request of the two independent breakaway republics for help against the US-trained and equipped Ukrainian army and neo-Nazi militias that were about to invade Donetsk and Luhansk. The two independent republics requested Russia to return them to Russia in 2014 along with Crimea, but Putin refused the republics, taking only Crimea because it is the site of the Russian Black Sea fleet. Instead Putin placed his bet on the Minsk Agreement, which kept Donbas as part of Ukraine.
Peace Decides Elections
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War
The United States just held a presidential election between two pro-war, militarist candidates, each of whom could have been expected to shift yet more funding into war preparations, to arm the genocide in Palestine, and to wage and threaten war with abandon. And yet peace was, as it often is, a deciding factor.
Many voters demanding peace were otherwise inclined to vote for Kamala Harris. Had she simply committed to ceasing to illegally arm just one war, she probably would have won.
Many voters demanding peace squinted their eyes hard enough to see peace in Donald Trump. Had he not mixed peace along with war into his word salad, he probably would have lost.
A poll published in May suggested that voters in swing states would be significantly more likely to vote for then-candidate Biden were he to embargo arms to Israel. A second poll from August showed the same (minus Biden). A third poll from September showed the same (for Harris).
