Never-Ending War in the Time of Trump and How to Stop It The Mother of All Lies is this: you can fix things by blowing them up. Alcoholics should not drink, and people who cannot watch TV and distinguish it from reality should not watch TV. Donald Trump watches a lot of TV and may very well believe what it teaches, namely that blowing things up solves problems. He certainly has figured out, as I knew he would, that the way to get love from the U.S. corporate media is: blow stuff up.

U.S. Mass Shooters Are Disproportionately Veterans Are veterans of the U.S. military disproportionately likely to be mass killers in the United States? Asking such a question is difficult, first because of concerns of profiling, discrimination, etc., and second, because it's hard to answer.

1968: Lyme Disease Escaped from a Bio-weapons Lab off the Connecticut coast A new book called Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons by Kris Newby adds significantly to our understanding of Lyme disease, while oddly seeming to avoid mention of what we already knew.

What Hillary Clinton Privately Told Goldman Sachs At first glance, Hillary Clinton's speeches to Goldman Sachs, which she refused to show us but WikiLeaks claims to have now produced the texts of, reveal less blatant hypocrisy or abuse than do the texts of various emails also recently revealed. But take a closer look.

I've Seen 1,200 Torture Photos This moment, in which the Attorney General of the United States claims to be considering the possibility of allowing our laws against torture to be enforced seems a good one in which to reveal that I have seen over 1,200 torture photos and a dozen videos that are in the possession of the United States military.

Is Obama Even Worse Than Bush? When I advocated the impeachment of George W. Bush, I did so despite, not because of, all the animosity it fueled among impeachment supporters.

Yes, the United States Used Biowarfare on North Korea It's sort of silly that it matters. The United States bombed North Korea flat with ordinary, non-bioweapons bombs. It ran out of standing structures to bomb. People lived in caves, if they lived. Millions died, most of them from regular old non-scandalous but mass-murderous bombs (including, of course, Napalm which melts people but doesn't give them exotic diseases).

Why Wars Really Happen Many discussions of lies that launch wars quickly come around to the question "Well then why did they want the war?" There is usually more than one single motive involved, but the motives are not terribly hard to find.

What the Global Peace Index Does and Does Not Measure For years I've appreciated the Global Peace Index (GPI), and interviewed the people who make it, but quibbled with exactly what it does.

Chris Hedges' Hangup on Religion Chris Hedges is one of the best, one of the most morally useful, writers we have. He's free of loyalty to political party or dogma. He knows war first hand and describes it without flinching. He's an almost ideal gadfly to our corporatocracy. But he has a hangup on religion that holds him back.

Enough is Enough. The Time Has Come to BDS the US. People, organizations, and governments around the world, and people and organizations in the United States, need to stand up at long last and nonviolently resist the lawless behavior of the rogue U.S. government.

What If the FBI Hired Someone Honest to Look into 9-11? It did. Her name was Sibel Edmonds. This is her story, as she told it to me. Edmonds discusses what she knows, whom it implicates, and what she's been through and what hope there is in the new Congress to start an investigation.

U.S. Sale of War Planes to New Zealand Faces Popular Resistance in U.S. and New Zealand The U.S. State Department uses public funds and employees to market private products designed for mass killing to foreign governments. Few corporations have benefitted more from this socialism for the oligarchs than Boeing. In a recent example, the U.S. government has persuaded the New Zealand government to buy four "Poseidon" planes from Boeing that are designed for working with submarines, of which New Zealand possesses zero

The Video That Could Indict the Pentagon for Murder As Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting points out, until a video surfaced of South Carolina policeman Michael Slager murdering Walter Scott, the media was reporting a package of lies manufactured by the police: a fight that never occurred, witnesses who didn't exist, the victim taking the policeman's taser, etc. The lies collapsed because the video appeared. I find myself asking why videos of missiles blowing children ...

Killed by Congressional Cowardice One would be hard press to count the number of people who have lost their lives to an excess of cowardice in the halls of the United States Congress. But the number just went up.
