US military suicides reach new high

(WSWS) — The number of serving American military personnel who took their lives in 2009 has already exceeded last year’s record. These suicides are first of all tragic.

Is President Obama's Surge A Trap?

Is President Obama’s Surge A Trap? By Cynthia McKinney | December 2, 2009 Last night, President Obama announced both his decision to add 30,000 U.S. troops to the mire in Afghanistan and his desire to see other countries and N.A.T.O. match his surge. Thanks to U.S. taxpayers, mercenaries will continue to be a part of the foreign presence in Afghanistan. The Republicans support the President’s move and are expected to reward President Obama with the bulk of their Congressional votes to pass his… Continue

The campaign cash behind the Afghanistan escalation

Anti-war groups are already planning protests against the escalation. United for Peace and Justice, a coalition of more than 1,400 local and national groups, is holding numerous protest actions around the country today and tomorrow, as is the anti-war group Code Pink. Some are calling the president's plan to ratchet up the war a betrayal of the Democratic base, which overwhelmingly opposes sending more troops.

Obama Aims to Sell Escalation With Vague Pullout Promise

With the Afghan War getting worse all the time it may seem like putting the cart before the horse for the administration to start talking about a timetable for its victory and pullout, but with the war’s popularity cratering all the time it seems the president believes that selling the escalation as an “endgame” strategy is about the only viable public relations strategy possible. So tonight, President Obama will sell the American public on a 30,000 to 34,000 man escalation of the Afghan War wi… Continue

first Blog

First I have to learn to use this blog page. I have no web page and have no other blogs. What I added to 'Activities' page update was rejected as too wordy. What I said was I have to integrate being a member of DIGNITY: action for justice and peace into my thoughts and daily 'what I do' This is my choice for entry into the term 'action'; its consistent with my recent reading of Piterberg's Returns of Zionism. Further thoughts will be along the lines of Hannah Arendt and the Lutheran idea… Continue

Shame on Press Calling President Obama's Afghanistan Plan an "Exit Strategy"

Many in the special interest press are cynically reporting the President's speech tonight as an "Afghanistan exit plan." We have now reached the point where those who make and interpret current events think they can make us believe that war is for peace, ignorance is strength, slavery is freedom, and lies are the truth. Well, we know the truth, and we will not rest until every drone is stopped and no more bombs are dropped. We will not rest until peace is won. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said th… Continue

“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty.

WORD CHOICE

If the president of the United States sends American soldiers around the world to secure oil fields for ExxonMobil, that’s called energy independence. If Pfizer bilks Medicare out of billions, that’s called a contract dispute. If ExxonMobil, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Halliburton-KBR, Northrop, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Rockwell Collins, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Honey-well, Westinghouse, General Electric and IBM overcharge the government on federal contracts, they’re called misunderstandings.… Continue

America, stop sucking up to Israel

In all the videos, Obama heaps sticky-sweet praise on Israel, even though he has spent nearly a year fruitlessly lobbying for Israel to be so kind as to do something, anything – even just a temporary freeze on settlement building – to advance the peace process. The president’s Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, has also been busy, shuttling between a funeral (for IDF soldier Asaf Ramon, the son of Israel’s first astronaut Ilan Ramon) and a memorial (for Rabin, though it was postponed until next we… Continue
