Veterans For Peace and 350.org Demonstrate Against Military Air Shows’ Dirty Glorification of War
On May 22nd, 350.org and VFP worked with local peace and climate
activists in Maryland to protest the Blue Angels airshow in Annapolis.
By Taylor Smith-Hams and Janet Weil
Veterans For Peace (VFP) has been running the No Military Airshows (No MAS!) campaign for years to protest military air shows by the Navy (Blue Angels) and Air Force (Thunderbirds) for glorifying militarism and spewing pollution. 350.org’s U.S. team recently joined the campaign and is encouraging 350.org supporters to work with local VFP chapters and members to protest military air shows across the country.
The U.S. military is the world’s single largest institutional consumer of fossil fuels and the world’s single largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gasses. Jet planes like the Blue Angels are one of the most egregious contributors, consuming over 1,200 gallons of jet fuel per hour.
Latin America: From the Struggle for Independence (1808) to the Great War (1914)
Battle of Maipu in Chile in 1818
Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic
From the very political point of view, the 19th century in Latin America started in 1808 when the emancipation of the subordinated people against the foreign (Spanish & Portuguese) rule started (and finished in 1826) and was over with the beginning of the Great War in Europe in 1914. The struggle for independence was extremely speeded up by the French military-political subjection of the Iberian Peninsula when both Spain and Portugal lost direct connections with their overseas colonies. Such a new geopolitical situation fostered domestic Latin American patriotic nationalism which demanded political independence, administrative sovereignty, and economic self-administration instead of the subordination and exploitation by colonial motherlands with their capitals in Madrid and Lisbon.
These political, administrative, and economic requirements were met by the Portuguese royal court by accepting them and consequently leading the biggest Portuguese colony – Brazil toward the creation of political nationhood as an independent state (Kingdom in 1815, Empire in 1822, and Republic in 1889) on peaceful way but with a minimum of social change. This characteristic was common for almost all ex-Iberian colonies in Latin America (Mezo/Central- and South America): political independence did not change a social framework and relations within society from Mexico to Cape Horn.
Natural Gas Is Methane
By David Swanson
Methane (CH4) is a horrible destroyer of the Earth — with 86 times the heat-trapping power of CO2 over 20 years.
But natural gas is natural, almost not really gas, actually the green solution brought to us by Guy-Who-Was-Not-Trump Barack Obama.
So the fact that 97% of so-called natural gas is nothing other than methane is odd.
It’s like finding out that aid to Ukraine is fueling mass murder that the U.S. government has prevented Ukraine from ending. Isn’t aid, you know, stuff that’s helpful?
Natural gas is METHANE?
In memory of Iraq war veteran Tomas Young and his dying words to George W. Bush
Tomas Young and his wife before his death
editor thepeoplesvoice.org
Tomas Young (November 30, 1979 – November 10, 2014). Tomas Young died at age 34, 10 years after a sniper’s bullet pierced his spinal cord. He was riding in an unarmored open-air Humvee when he was shot only five days after arriving in Iraq. Tomas was paralyzed from the chest down and confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of his life. He had joined the Army two days after September 11, 2001, at the age of 24, and became one of the first veterans to publicly oppose the Iraq war. On Veterans Day, Tuesday November 11, 2014 his wife Claudia went to a funeral home to arrange for Tomas’s ravaged body to be cremated. His mother, Cathy Smith of Kansas City, Mo., said she was just glad her oldest child didn’t hurt anymore.
This is how their megalomaniacal game of war and death will end
Russia's devastating military technology, some of
which is the most advanced and lethal on earth.
Editor thepeoplesvoice.org
The elite are issuing their orders to their American political puppets from the safety of their hundred-million-dollar bunkers, and their island mansions guarded by the British navy. Biden is sending F-16s, Wart Hog tank destroyers, and guided misses to Ukraine to be used against targets in Russia.
Obama's election-rigging puppet president thinks he will defeat Russia. Hitler and his nazi army of three million men could not defeat Russia. Little globalist tool Ukraine with all the weapons of NATO and America will never defeat Russia and will end in destruction.
As Rafah Burns, Hundreds Confront Military and Weapons Company Representatives at CANSEC Arms Fair in Ottawa
By World BEYOND War
Ottawa — A large protest is blocking the entrances to CANSEC, North America’s biggest weapons and military convention. Hundreds of demonstrators are confronting representatives of Israeli and Canadian militaries and weapons companies over their complicity in the killing of more than 36,000 Palestinians in Gaza as Israel has carried out a prolonged assault from the air, sea, and on the ground over the past seven and a half months. The criminality of Israel’s actions, and of Canada’s complicity with them, is underscored by the horrific killing of 45 Palestinians by an Israeli air strike on a camp for displaced people in Rafah. At least 23 women and children died in the attack, many burned to death as fire engulfed their tents.
Support Students or Support Genocide
By David Swanson
May day! May day!
We raised young people to believe that genocide was wrong. We told them they had the right to free speech and assembly. We told them that lots of wars were somehow not genocidal (pay no attention to the millions of dark-skinned corpses behind the curtain, children) and that those wars even somehow mysteriously created those rights to free speech and assembly. Now those young people are being attacked by police, beaten up by judeonazi brownshirts, and unceremoniously suspended from the debt machines of higher indoctrination. And nobody’s thanking these students for their service.
I admit that I get frustrated with these courageous and kind students. Why are they afraid of cameras? Don’t they know you need the corporate media to build a movement? Why do they seem to be more interested in using counterproductive chants than in stopping the war? Why do they embrace the label pro-Palestinian, when anti-genocide and pro-peace are readily available free of charge and without IDF and CNN endorsement?
Christians, Muslims, and Jews for a Secular One-State Solution in Palestine-Israel
By Roger Copple
Jerusalem in Palestine-Israel is a holy city for Christians, Muslims, and Jews. If we can solve the problems in this region of the world, everything else will be a piece of cake. What happens in Palestine-Israel has repercussions throughout the world, which is why it is so important to learn more about Zionism, imperialism, and the Middle East crisis, especially now considering the catastrophic situation in Rafah, Gaza.
The first World Zionist Congress was established in 1897 by Theodore Herzl. Beginning in the 1920s, Jews mostly from Europe started immigrating into Palestine increasingly. Years later after the Holocaust and World War II, the idea of creating a safe homeland for the Jews in Palestine through Zionism became more popular.
The movie Lawrence of Arabia was about how the British Empire convinced the Arabs to revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The British promised the Arabs an independent homeland after the war. However, after the British captured the Palestine region, British foreign secretary Arthur Balfour wrote a letter, now referred to as the Balfour Declaration, to Lord Nathaniel Rothschild, one of the leaders of the British Jewish community. In that November 2, 1917 letter, Balfour expressed British support of a “national home for the Jewish people” in the land of Palestine. The wealthy Rothschild family would then give private donations to help Jews purchase land in Palestine.
A Short Overview of the 2014 Crimean Crisis
Vladislav B. Sotirovic
The international crisis over the status of the Crimean Peninsula was in February-March 2014 when the peninsula returned to the state’s territory of Russia from Ukraine. The Western Russophobic narrative immediately accused Russia of illegitimate annexation of the peninsula as well as of the occupation of the eastern Donbas region of Ukraine.
However, the same narrative does not tell that Crimea became, in fact, illegally annexed by Ukraine from Russia even in 1956 by the personal decision of the Ukrainian boss of the USSR – Nikita Khrushchev (1894−1971). At that time as of 2014, 2/3 of the Crimean population had been ethnic Russians while ethnic Ukrainians all the time were a tiny minority of the peninsula. In 1956, however, there was no organized referendum about the political destiny of Crimea different from the case in 2014 when a majority of the peninsula’s population expressed their free will to join Russia instead of the Russophobic Ukraine. A new Russophobic course of the government in Kiev as well as provoked the (Russian) people of Donbas to secede from undemocratic Ukraine which the government took an open neo-Nazi course.
The Meaning of Treason
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping
on a human face - forever" - George Orwell
Editor thepeoplesvoice.org
America's government of puppet traitor politicians are at war with American citizens. Many politicians have criminal records and were not elected but installed. They were placed in their positions of power through rigged elections funded by the multi billionaire trillionaire class aided by Marxist traitors. They use their positions to enrich themselves while carrying out the will of their elite masters, which is to permanently end free and fair elections and remake America by first destroying it economically, culturally, and morally.
By the time the American people realize that their usurper puppet leader is a soulless killer who takes pleasure in their destruction it will be too late to save America. It's a simple unembellished statement of fact to say that Biden is the epitome of a traitor, and his actions define the meaning of treason. He has given the bulk of America's oil reserves to China while shutting off oil production in the United States, killing millions of jobs and economically devastating the country.
