  • Drone Killings: “Making Children Afraid of Sunny Days”

    “No one is immune from a strike. This is nothing short of terror, the kind of terror that makes children afraid of sunny days. We are not fighting a finite army. A person becomes a ‘terrorist’ when they say they are. If, as General McChrystal has suggested, five new terrorists are created when there is…

  • As Saudis Threaten Port, Yemen Famine Leaves Refugee Chief “Shocked to the Bones”

    “‘Men with guns and power inside Yemen as well as in regional and international capitals are undermining every effort to avert an entirely preventable famine,’ he said, ‘as well as the collapse of health and education services for millions of children.’ …”

  • Horizon on Healthcare: Single Payer?

    “This vote shows that House leaders are not only out of ideas on health care, but out of touch with their own constituents. … In polls and at town hall meetings, Americans consistently demand Medicare for all, the only plan that is universal, sustainable, and proven to work in every other industrialized nation.”

In reality, however, that program has implemented revolutionary new technologies that will vastly increase the targeting capability…

  • Ellsberg: Trump Threats to WikiLeaks “Nuclear Option” Against the First Amendment

    “Obama having opened the legal campaign against the press by going after the roots of investigative reporting on national security — the sources — Trump is going to go after the gatherers/gardeners themselves (and their bosses, publishers). To switch the metaphor, an indictment of Assange is a ‘first use’ of ‘the nuclear option’ against the…

  • * News Conference on WikiLeaks * “Trumponomics” Exposed

    “The Trump tax proposal will accelerate U.S. wealth inequality. Abolishing the estate tax — a tax that starts on families with over $11 million — would be a windfall for the wealthy. The first tax cut should NOT go to the first family. If Trump has the $10 billion he claims he has, repeal of…

  • Trump’s Korea Threat

    “Since 1950, the Korean peninsula has been threatened with nuclear weapons, missile tests, and military exercises that have only served to make 75 million Korean people less secure.

  • How Clinton and Obama Laid Groundwork for Trump’s Immigration Policies

    “The Trump administration’s multipronged approach to immigration relies on and promotes the criminalization of immigrants.
