Two Speeches at Fulton, 71 Years Apart In his speech at Westminster College, Senator Sanders, an Independent from Vermont, drew "a direct link between the United States' foreign policy and his own longstanding message of economic equality." He stressed that "the planet will not be secure or peaceful when so few have so much and so many have so little."

Israel Lobbies Shaping Illinois Governor's Race As Robert Mueller and congressional committees dig into Russia's role in the 2016 election, the Biss and Ramirez-Rosa progressive candidacy was smashed by Israel's intervention in Illinois politics. What's the difference between Russian and Israeli intervention? One nation has a U.S. base in the form of lobbies. The other does not have a base, unless it is proven that the Trump campaign served as a Russian lobby-agent.

MLK Jr. Wrote From Jail: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" The story of General Pershing and Pig's Blood, is not only false; it also reveals Trump's ability to continually lie to evoke applause and cheers for himself. The Pershing false story is also an ugly demonstration of Trump's repeated use of Islamophobia as a political tool. It is a statement of injustice. Polling indicates the base which provides the applause and cheers he craves, has dropped into the lower 30 percent.

Phoenix Mayor to Trump: Cancel Your Rally The decision Trump makes about Phoenix awaits. Trump could create another violent clash in Phoenix next Tuesday or he could escape a devastating political silver bullet. Will Trump hold his rally or cancel it? Will other stupefied members of Congress wake up and see the light? We will soon know.

Slavery Did Not Die; It Still Peddles Its Evil the general population still feels the effect of slavery as we desert "the least of these," and deny the reality that all people are equal. Whatever name we give to our transcendent power, we must consider the possibility that this power is groaning in agony as nations continue to choose and then embrace politics powered by a satanic "invented moral authority."

Jimmy Carter Warned of Trumpism in 1979 Here is just the latest reason to be thankful for our 39th President. President Carter delivered a speech from his White House Oval Office, July 15, 1979, which John Farmer, Jr. describes as "a prophetic 1979 warning of Trumpism."

Two Palestinian Schoolmates Seek Unity in Cairo If Hamas, Dahlan and Egypt can devise a way to turn the lights on again in Gaza, that Cairo meeting may be the start of a new and improved, though no-less confusing, and perilous, journey for an occupied population. If PA President Abbas has a better idea than his own political advantage, to turn the lights back on in Gaza, this would be a good time to make that idea known.

The Long Fight Against TV and Movie "Bad Arabs" It is an ominous sign when President Trump uses the term "barbaric" to describe "others" in countries whose populations are predominantly Arab and Muslim. The President's speech in Warsaw, Poland, which he delivered the day before the recent G-20 in Hamburg, Germany, revived the racist call for a Clash of Civilizations.

Who to Believe, Your Lying Eyes or the Truth? There is no doubt that health care inside Gaza has greatly suffered as part of the decade-long Israeli siege, with Israel limiting medical equipment allowed in and restricting travel for doctors seeking further medical training and specialization. The situation in Gaza is dire.

Wolves in the Gaza Chicken House A check of international media confirms that it is buying the Israeli nonsense. The Israelis are media-savy. They know internal political conflict is sexier than babies dying. Responsibility for a territory under occupation always lies with the occupier. It would be foolish to let Netanyahu get away with blaming Abbas for those Gaza deaths.

"This Meddlesome Priest" Troubles Trump If Mueller decides to pursue an obstruction of justice case against Trump, testimony from Comey and other officials, the Post writes, "could become central pieces of evidence." As the Mueller investigation continues, Comey is expected to return to the national spotlight. Who is this man with his calm demeanor and towering 6 foot 8 inch frame?

Land of Opportunity for Testing Weapons Fifty years after the June 5-10, 1967, Six Day War, Israel's occupation of the Palestinian people offers a business opportunity for some, and massive oppression for others. We will begin with the business opportunity, as it is seen from the perspective of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. We will get to"

"For I was in prison and you visited me not'" The full text of Matthew 25:42-43, condemns the sins of those who neither see, hear, nor care about those who suffer. . . .

"O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend. . . !" .ly/2pBZzwFIn this Prologue (above) to Shakespeare's Henry V, The Chorus speaks: O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention, A kingdom for a stage, princes to act And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!

An Irish Writer and a US Scholar Walk Into a Bar The Irish writer is Eimear McBride. The scholar is a fellow named Chas Freeman. They did not actually walk into a bar together.

A "New Sheriff in Town" Is Kicking Up Her Heels Nikki Haley needs to understand UN history and the valuable role played by Americans like Richard Falk, before she bashes that world body. She also needs to recognize that her job as UN ambassador is to serve the best interests of her nation and its values, not the interests and illegal apartheid values of a foreign state.
