On the National Mall, on Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010, in Washington, D.C., at the Lincoln Memorial, a massive “One Nation” rally was held. One of the issues that resounded with many of the activists present was this one: End the U.S. wars and occupations and bring the troops home. Brian Becker, National Coordinator for the ANSWER Coalition, made that case with me in an interview. He argued that the money wasted on “militarism,” should instead be put to use at home, “for jobs, housing and healthcare.” To learn more about the ANSWER Coalition, go to: http://www.answercoalition.org/national/index.html

Message from the Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz Against Nuclear War

The use of nuclear weapons in a new war would mean the end of humanity. They foresaw the scientist Albert Einstein, who was able to measure its destructive capability of generating millions of degrees of heat that volatilizes everything in a wide range. The brilliant researcher was driving the development of this weapon before the genocidal Nazi regime it available.

Any government in the world is obliged to respect the right to life of any nation and of all the peoples of the planet.

Today there is an imminent risk of war using these weapons and not the slightest doubt that an attack on the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran, would become, inevitably, in a global nuclear conflict.

The villages are on duty to require political leaders the right to live. When the lives of its kind, its people and their loved ones are at such risk, nobody can afford to be indifferent, or you can lose a minute to demand respect for this right, tomorrow will be too late.

Albert Einstein himself said quote: "It's not what weapons were used in World War III, but World War IV will use sticks and stones." We know what we wanted to express, and he was right, just do not exist and those who handle the sticks and stones.

There would be collateral damage, as always say U.S. military and political leaders to justify killing innocent people.

In a nuclear war, collateral damage would be the life of humanity.

Let us have the courage to proclaim that all nuclear or conventional weapons, everything that serves to make war must disappear!

The Hate Mongers Among Us – Part 3: The Use of Pliable and Reliable Assets to Advance a Narrative

by Jeff Gates

Many of America’s most prominent political leaders were induced to comment on “International Burn A Koran Day”—a high profile provocation proposed by a Christian-Zionist preacher with a small congregation in a small town in Florida.

When U.S. General David Petraeus spoke out against the proposal, the issue immediately gained an international profile as did Pastor Terry Jones who quickly became an international celebrity.

One need not dig deep to identify who may have advised General Petraeus to grant a global profile to a provocation consistent with Israeli goals for the region.

In March, as head of Central Command, Petraeus offered testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee confirming facts that have long been obvious but are seldom mentioned: our “special relationship” with Israel and its oppressive occupation of Palestine undermine U.S. interests in the Middle East and endanger American personnel.
