AI Goes to War: Will the Pentagon’s Techno-Fantasies Pave the Way for War with China?

BY WILLIAM D. HARTUNG Drone Swarm. Image: JSC and AI Art Generator. On August 28th, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks chose the occasion of a three-day conference organized by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), the arms industry’s biggest trade group, to announce the “Replicator Initiative.” Among other things, it would involve producing “swarms of drones” that could hit thousands of targets in China on short notice. Call it the full-scale launching of techno-war. Her speech to the assembled arms makers was yet another sign that the military-industrial complex (MIC) President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us about more than 60 years ago is still alive, all too well, and taking a new turn. Call it the MIC for the digital age. Hicks&nbs...

Nazi’s path to self-destruction

Israel’s path to self-destruction Some facts Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people has been going on for over eight months, during which: • 37,780 Palestinians have been slaughtered, including 548 in the West Bank – most of them women and children. This does not include the 10,000 still buried in the rubble; • At least 42 Palestinians have been murdered in Israeli prisons; • About 1.7 million, or 75% of Gaza’s population are presently displaced; • About 1.1 million, out of a total population of 2.3 million, are facing catastrophic levels of food insecurity; • 90,237, including 5,200 in the West Bank, have been wounded; • Tens of thousands of Palestinians languish in Israeli prisons, where they are routinely tortured, mistreated and sub...

We Know He Committed Crimes, Why isn’t This a Slam-Dunk Case?

BY JENNIFER VAN BERGEN Teflon Trump. Image: JSC an Art AI Generator. A friend of mine asked me this question. My first response was to ask him which case he was talking about and he said “All of them! Any of them!” My friend then asked: “What is the privilege? What is the problem?” My short answer is: These ARE slam-dunk cases. And there is no privilege; there is no problem. And again, a short answer is that the legal system takes time. It takes time to gather evidence — witnesses, documents — and organize it into a coherent, understandable narrative. It’s easy to say these are slam-dunk cases. We saw Trump tell his followers to “Stop the Steal” and we saw them march on the Capitol and attempt to stop the proceedings of Congress to certify the electoral vot...

The Slow-Motion Equivalent of a Nuclear War?

BY TOM ENGELHARDT Image by Ra Dragon. Tell me, what planet are we actually on? All these decades later, are we really involved in a “second” or “new” Cold War? It’s certainly true that, as late as the 1980s, the superpowers (or so they then liked to think of themselves), the United States and the Soviet Union, were still engaged in just such a Cold War, something that might have seemed almost positive at the time. After all, a “hot” one could have involved the use of the planet’s two great nuclear arsenals and the potential obliteration of just about everything. But today? In case you haven’t noticed, the phrase “new Cold War” or “second Cold War” has indeed crept into our media vocabulary. (Check it out at Wikipedia.) Admittedly, unlike John F. Kennedy, Joe Biden h...

The Interrogation Psychologists Come Home to Roost

BY IAN HANSEN The Freudian Interrogators. Image: JSC and AI Art Generator. Roy Eidelson’s Doing Harm: How the World’s Largest Psychological Association Lost Its Way in the War on Terror is essential reading for understanding the cultural and political world we now inhabit. Eidelson writes from the perspective of an outraged psychologist, who expected much better from his profession than support for a detention and interrogation program that had torture at its core. He provides detailed documentation of the efforts of his fellow psychologist “dissidents” to bring accountability to the American Psychological Association (APA). Full disclosure: As a former president of Psychologists for Social Responsibility, I am one of these dissidents. The APA culti...

USA: Kids Shouldn’t Have to Pay for School Lunches

BY SONALI KOLHATKAR The school lunch racket. Image: JSC and AI Art Generator. The United States federal government in 2020 embarked on a grand and beautiful experiment: expanding the use of tax dollars to help stave off poverty. That experiment has now largely ended in a shocking return to business-as-usual. One critical component of the experiment was to ensure that public school students had free lunches via the Department of Agriculture’s National School Lunch program, regardless of family income. During the 2020-2021 school year, 98 percent of all school lunches were free to students, compared to only 68 percent of lunches in the previous year. Luis Guardia, president of the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC), pointed out that such data “...

How About a General Strike Against Dollar General?

BY SAM PIZZIGATI Photograph Source: Random Retail – CC BY 2.0 A president of the United States this past week walked a picket line in solidarity with striking auto workers at a major American corporation. An amazing sight. What could President Biden do for an encore? He could stand before an outlet of a major American retailer — Dollar General — with a simple two-word placard. The placard’s message? For Shame. Americans — thanks to the solidarity of UAW members and the media and political attention that this solidarity has captured — now know a good bit about the pressures auto workers face. As a nation, unfortunately, we know next to nothing about the much heavier pressures on Dollar General workers. Dollar General may well be, as a Bloomberg r...

Flagging Support: Zelenskyy Loses Favor in Washington

BY BINOY KAMPMARK Photograph Source: Number 10 – CC BY 2.0 Things did not go so well this time around. When the worn Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy turned up banging on the doors of Washington’s powerful on September 21, he found fewer open hearts and an increasingly large number of closed wallets. The old ogre of national self-interest seemed to be presiding and was in no mood to look upon the desperate leader with sweet acceptance. Last December, Zelensky and Ukrainian officials did not have to go far in hearing endorsements and encouragement in their efforts battling Moscow’s armies. The visit of the Ukrainian president, as White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated at the time, “will underscore the United States’ steadfast commitment to ...

AIPAC: Has the pro-Jewish lobby bribed and bought the US Democratic Party?

Posted by: John Phoenix AIPAC deliberately targets the progressive candidates it either hates or who are the most vulnerable, writes Richard Silverstein (photo). Bowman’s defeat is a preview of AIPAC’s new strategy: to unseat pro-Palestine, grassroots candidates before they reach Congress, writes Richard Silverstein. by Richard Silverstein, reposted from The New Arab, June 26, 2024 This is the season of American politics when the two major parties hold primaries to determine who will run for Senate and House seats. In the past, primaries were a tiny blip on the political radar. Incumbents usually sailed to nomination and won the general election. But in the past four years, the pro-Israel lobby has upended this calculus in response to the success o...
