In an address to the United Nations General Assembly, President Obama openly embraced an aggressive military doctrine backed by previous administrations on using armed force beyond the international norm of self-defense. Obama told the world that the United States is prepared to use its military to defend what he called "our core interests" in the Middle East: U.S. access to oil. "[Obama] basically came out and said the U.S. is an imperialist nation and we're going to do whatever we need to do to conquer areas [and] take resources from people around the world," says independent journalist Jeremy Scahill.

On Wed. Sept. 18th, in front of Penn Station in Bmore, Dr. Margaret Flowers shared her views on the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. She labeled it, “NAFTA on steroids.” Dr. Flowers underscored that the treaty has been “negotiated in secret,” and its terms, “classified.” She said that President Barack Obama has asked to “Fast Track” the treaty. This would allow him to sign it into law before the U.S.Congress is given an “up or down vote on it.” In other words, the measure would not go through the usual legislative democratic process, with hearings, transparency, the calling of witnesses, etc.

Dave Johnson, writing in the “Campaign for America’s Future” pointed out that “Human Rights, consumer, labor, environment groups are not at the table. But over 600 corporate representatives are participating.” See: http://ourfuture.org/20130722/the-coming-fast-track-trade-outrage

Try this for an example of what may be in our future. A U.S. law required food companies to disclose whether tuna is “dolphin-safe” or not. A Mexican company, however, under NAFTA, complained that it “restricted trade.” It won the case!

Whatever is in the final version of the “Trans-Pacific Partnership,” will become the Law of our Land. It will supersede all of our laws and regulations dealing with food, public health and safety, workers rights, the internet, the environment, etc. The AFL-CIO has passed a Resolution opposing the TPP.

Finally, Dr. Flowers said that Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), who was privy to some of the items in TPP called it a “threat to our national sovereignty.” To learn more about this important issue and what you can do about it, go to:http://www.flushthetpp.org.

Protesting Sen. Barbara Mikulski’s Pro-War With Syria Stance

On Saturday afternoon, September 14th, peace activists staged a protest action at Broadway & Baltimore Streets, in the Fell’s Point area of Bmore. It was directed at U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, a Democrat. Despite openly conceding that the majority of Marylanders are against any U.S. intervention in Syria’s bloody Civil War, she declared that she will vote for military strikes against Assad’s government. Meanwhile, the U.S. is currently arming the opposition in that lethal conflict, which includes factions loyal to al-Qadeda. Go figure! Mikulski’s pro-War antics, of course, please the Military-Industrial Complex and the pro-war zealots in the U.S. media. After assembling, the activists, with their antiwar banners and posters flying, marched down Broadway to Thames Street, to pay a visit to one of Mikulski’s branch offices. It turned out that no one in her office showed up for work today. To learn more about this controversy, go to: https://www.facebook.com/bmoresyrianointervention

A rally/march was held in Fell’s Point, in Bmore, on September 14th. Peace and social justice activists expressed their views opposing any U.S. intervention in Syria. Their focus however was specifically on the U.S. senator from Maryland - Barbara Mikulski. She has an office in the area. Recently, the Senator made in clear that she will vote for military strikes in Syria, despite the overwhelming opposition to any such war by her constituents. Speaking on this video in strong disapproval to Mikulski’s bellicose intentions are Dr. Margaret Flowers, Kevin Zeese, Bill Harvey and Max Obuszewski.

"Those wonderful people who brought you The Big Mac, Mom's apple Pie, Burger King and Kentucky Fried People are at it again. And all because Binyamin Netanyahu was able to tell his partner in war crimes, just what he needed to hear: The absolutely, without question, no doubt at all genuine, 100% verifiably true information, obtained by the Israeli Mossad (Motto: By Way Of Deception, Thou Shalt Do War) that Bashar al Assad was guilty of gassing his own people, in a situation where the Syrian leader knew that the United States navy was poised on his own doorstep to take action if he did anything so stupid as to gas his own people while the United States navy was poised on his own doorstep.

Also, compelling circumstantial evidence that Israel may well have been complicit in the 9/11 attacks on the United States and that seven Middle Eastern countries were on America's hit list long before 9/11."

Late on Monday afternoon, September 9th, activists set up a “peace vigil” at St. Paul Street and University Parkway, close to the Episcopal Cathedral of the Incarnation in Baltimore, MD. Their message: “No U.S. War with Syria.” At the demonstration, I talked with peace and justice activist, Lisa Simone. She said: “There is no way that bombing Syria is going to help anybody...The U.S. is drone-bombing civilians in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and other places around the world as it is. We’re already killing civilians left and right...We should be talking about a negotiated settlement [in Syria] and woking towards a cease fire. We should not be going to war.”

"we are about to engage in military action against Syria and at the same time irresponsibly reactivating the Cold War with Russia. We're now engaged in a game of "chicken" with Russia which presents a much greater threat to our security than does Syria."
