Telling the Truth About Peace Some acts of truth-telling about war and peace are easy, and some involve extreme risk. Some are simple, and some require great strategic planning. Some involve facts, some analysis, and some storytelling.

Talking Like the CIA Is Bad for You I want to add a friendly amendment to efforts to reduce the use of Pentagon language. I think CIA language is a problem as well. I think it's at least as present as war language in Hollywood productions, and in massive child-focused cultural efforts like the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C.

Only The Good Die in Silence The father of modern warmaking Henry Kissinger died, and every major media outlet made a lot of noise -- millions of articles on the internet. Fair enough. What would contemporary coup-making or genocide be without his seminal work? But when the father of peace studies Johan Galtung died, not a single corporate media outlet said a single word.

Some high points have come in 2007, 2015, 2017, and 2024. Each time it has been absolutely critical to attack Iran at once. There could be no delay. Dominoes would fall. Terrorism would prevail. Credibility would be sqandered. And yet, each time, the threatened war has not been launched, and the world has gone on.

Understanding the Doppelganger Gang Doppelganger is actually about, among other things, the situation we're in, not for the first time, of seeing people swing from the left to the right politically, and more than that of seeing people on the left partially swing to cobble together a bunch of rightwing positions (or beliefs) with their leftwing ones so that you don't know what to call these people's politics anymore -- and even more than that of people ...

What If New Zealand Were to Abolish Its Military The world should read a new book from New Zealand called Abolishing the Military. New Zealand has decidedly not yet followed Costa Rica and stashed its military in a museum. And were it to do so, I can virtually guarantee you that CNN would never mention the act.
