Despite ongoing efforts to resolve tensions and stabilize Sudan, longstanding divisive issues remain largely unresolved, and civil war persists. Achieving a sustainable and lasting peace remains challenging. It is crucial to quickly reduce the rising tensions to prevent further dangerous escalation and put an end to this 14-month conflict.
Why has it been so challenging to alleviate tensions? At its core, the root cause of social violence is the buildup of collective social stress. Addressing this human issue demands a human-centered solution. (See: “Peace through health: traditional medicine meditation in the prevention of collective stress, violence, and war” published in Frontiers in Public Health.)
The best approach to eliminating social problems like war, conflict, terrorism, and crime is to directly reduce societal, collective stress—quickly and efficiently.

Twenty years and three months ago I wrote an article on the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. This was the US Supreme Court decision that racially integrated public schools in America. Liberal elites saw the decision as a hallmark ruling for racial integration.
More importantly, it was the exercise of legislative authority by the Supreme Court and the substitution of coercion for good will and the will of the people. The court’s decision led to the Court pre-empting Congress’ power in other decisions, such as Roe v. Wade, which a later court, realizing the Court’s violation of the separation of powers overturned. The Brown decision also opened the door to the legalization of homosexual marriage.
Progressive liberals only see court decisions in terms of whether they are supportive of their progressive agendas, not in terms of whether the balance of powers is respected. Liberals have made it completely clear that if the Constitution stands in the way of their agendas, the Constitution has to go.

Almost 200,000 emails have been sent to the UN missions of a couple of dozen nations reading “I urge your country to move to convene an emergency session of the UN General Assembly and use Uniting For Peace (Resolution 377) to impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions on the Israeli government, suspend the Israeli government from the United Nations, and send unarmed peacekeepers to Palestine.” World BEYOND War has partnered on the effort with RootsAction.org.
The emails have gone to the United Nations Consulates of South Africa, Nicaragua, Brazil, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Egypt, Honduras, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Turkey, Mexico, Pakistan, Spain, Libya, China, Russia, Algeria, Ecuador, Guyana, Japan, France, Malta, Mozambique, Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Switzerland, and Canada.
The International Court of Justice has ordered Israel to cease its genocidal acts, and the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has requested arrest warrants. And still the United Nations Security Council does not act, and in fact allows its members to provide Israel with the weaponry needed to continue the crime. United Nations General Assembly Resolution 377 (Uniting For Peace) allows the General Assembly to act when the Security Council fails. The General Assembly should NOT escalate the war or deploy armed troops. It should convene an emergency session and use “Uniting For Peace” to impose an arms embargo and targeted sanctions on the Israeli government, suspend the Israeli government from the United Nations, and send to Palestine unarmed peacekeepers (who have repeatedly shown their superiority to armed peacekeepers).

Operation Warp Speed enacted under former President Donald Trump provided the pharmaceutical community with free reign to create a vaccination for immediate use. COVID-19 was perceived to be such a threat that standard operations for testing and researching a vaccine were no longer applicable. The need for a vaccine was so urgent that pharmaceutical companies were granted total immunity from prosecution, which came in handy after countless debilitating ailments and deaths were later attributed to those vaccinations that offer neither protection from transmission or infection. In line with our disease cycle that heats up in 2026, the medical community is now ushering in part II of Operation Warp Speed.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the development of a new mRNA vaccine to defeat the bird flu. The American Medical Association (AMA) updated its Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) system to include H5N8, the bird flu, which is apparently so deadly that it could become the dreaded “next pandemic.” This is the first time we have witnessed a vaccine rollout under the EUA since the development of the COVID-19 vaccine.
According to The Guardian on Tuesday, “Washington insiders role-played a second Trump presidency. Can it save democracy?” I’m pretty sure the “it” in that headline is “Washington insiders.” Apparently it is a bipartisan group of them, all serious, responsible adults who recently ran through five “war games” to determine whether and how they would defend so-called “democracy” from Trump.
In one, Trump calls out the military to prevent nonviolent protests. “A second game looked at Trump’s threat to politicise federal agencies, including the justice department, and weaponise them against his political enemies. A third probed his immigration plans, which include dark warnings of mass roundups of undocumented immigrants and large-scale deportations.”
While a wealth of wisdom and numerous stories of success exist on resisting such scenarios around the world for many years, it’s not clear that these U.S.-centric officials, so used to viewing activists as enemies (or denouncing them as “outside agitators” when they advise students), consulted any of it. Instead, they found themselves at a general loss as to how to resist.

The assassination issue has been reduced to operational failure and insufficient budgetary resources for the Secret Service, and the assassination has been moved aside by Kamala’s emergence as the Democrat candidate for President. The presstitutes are again speaking with one voice preparing the narrative of a close election that makes it possible to use the election theft mechanisms that have been legalized by the Democrats in the swing states.
Biden had to go because he was too discredited as a viable candidate for the Democrats to be able to steal the election in his behalf. Kamala, previously soundly rejected by Democrats as a presidential candidate is now being hyped as the candidate able to defeat Trump. Rigged polls are now showing a neck and neck contest, with Trump sometimes ahead by one point and Kamala ahead by 3 points. The purpose of these rigged polls and the media emphasis on what a viable and challenging opponent Kamala presents is to prepare the public’s acceptance of another stolen election.
In 2020 Trump got more votes than he got in 2016. Yet somehow he lost to Biden whose few campaign rallies attracted minimal attendance, but despite the lack of interest Biden got more votes than Hillary in 2016 and, if memory serves, the largest number of votes in US electoral history. Clearly no such thing happened.

NB: I do not believe that anyone should ever vote for anyone who is engaged in waging or arming wars or promising to do the same. The world is in climate collapse and on the edge of nuclear apocalypse; it’s too late for which genocidaire is more enlightened than another. So, feel free to scrutinize the following for who I’m supposedly trying to get you to vote for, but for godsake don’t actually vote for any of them.
I want to suggest an alternative worldview to that promoted by J.D. Vance and company. Like the Olympics announcers passionately demanding patriotism moments before swooning over John Lennon’s Imagine, much of our discourse misses the central role of nationalism because it is so thoughtlessly assumed.

Fathers who lost children to fentanyl visit southern border Mark Murphy and Tom Quehl both lost a child to fentanyl poisoning; "Fentanyl deaths have spiked among U.S. children and teens"
Fentanyl’s catastrophic surge came after the Drug Enforcement Administration cracked down on the excesses of the U.S. opioid industry. Millions of Americans who had become addicted to prescription pain pills suddenly found them difficult or impossible to get.
Mexican cartels stepped in to fill the vacuum. Traffickers, who relied for decades on plant-based drugs such as heroin, cocaine and marijuana, are now using chemicals in clandestine laboratories to manufacture fentanyl powder and pills to meet the ever-increasing demand in the United States.
Fentanyl is 50 times more potent than heroin, and its compactness makes it far easier to smuggle. The synthetic opioid is so powerful that a year’s supply of pure fentanyl powder for the U.S. market would fit in the beds of two pickup trucks.

A lot of people assume that Democrats heavily influence the media. But that is not just an understatement but an inaccurate statement. To be influenced, the media and Democrats would have to be separate organizations. Also, the Democrats would have to employ their powers of persuasion to influence the media.
In reality, the media is the propaganda arm of the Democrats. There is no difference between the utterances of the press and the Democrats. If you want to know what the Democrat leadership is thinking, just follow in the mainstream media.
The late great Rush Limbaugh often played a montage of utterances from media pundits about any given event. Not only did the 'experts' have identical opinions, they also used identical keywords.
Words such as 'insurrection' or 'collusion' didn't become the de facto term for describing the events of January 6th or the Trump-Russia hoax by accident. These terms were provided by adept wordsmiths in the Democrat party, and the media lapdogs followed the diktat faithfully. They repeated the terms until even those against whom the hoax was perpetrated accepted the premise and used them while defending themselves.

Kamala Harris says she has raised $230,000,000 in campaign funds from rich American liberals. Why are rich American liberals so determined to have Kamala as President of the United States?
One reason could be because she, unlike Trump, is easily controlled, so the explanation is the rich are electing their own self-interests.
But are they? The Democrats’ have two agendas: One is to normalize and legitimize sexual perversity. The other is open borders. To put it in different words, the Democrats are devoted to transforming traditional America into a Sodom & Gomorrah Tower of Babel.
Does this serve rich liberals’ interests beyond providing them with a servant class?
The main benefactors are sexual perverts and immigrant-invaders.
Do rich liberals prefer their genes not to be passed on because their transgendered kids are unable to procreate and are made infertile by Covid vaccines and a variety of testosterone-inhibitors that leave even young men unable to have a natural erection?
