U.S. Cluster Bombs to Ukraine: An Act of Desperation

BY MELVIN GOODMAN Photograph Source: Petty Officer 3rd Class Christopher Mobley, U.S. Navy – Public Domain Following months of debate, the Biden administration has decided to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions, weapons that more than 120 countries have pledged not to use because of the threat to innocent civilians. Most NATO members favor the banning of cluster munitions. A huge area of Ukraine is already contaminated with explosive objects. The United Nations convention that banned the use of cluster munitions was signed in 2008, but three of the most militarized nations in the world refused to sign: the United States, Russia, and Israel. The United States used these munitions against Iraq in 2003, and supplied them to Saudi Arabia for use in Yemen. ...

Red Alert at Zaporizhzhia? Scenarios That Wouldn’t Unfold at a Wind Farm

BY LINDA PENTZ GUNTER Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Photo: IAEA Imagebank. Amidst accusations from both the Russian and Ukrainian sides that the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine has been wired for detonation or could be deliberately attacked during the current war there, one absolute truth remains: nuclear power plants are inherently dangerous. Whether the rhetorical threats are real or not remains subject for debate. What is incontrovertibly real is the danger a nuclear power plant poses. After all, that is why the two sides are making these threats in the first place: because the outcome would be so deadly. If Zaporizhzhia was a wind farm, it wouldn’t even be mentioned. Each nuclear reactor contains a lethal radioactive inventory, in the react...

Burning of the Quran and the Counter-offensive: Why the West is Panicking

BY RAMZY BAROUD Image by Ayesha Firdaus. Desecrating, then burning the Holy Quran in Sweden has, once again, raised a political storm of condemnation, but also of justification, if not outright approval. Such acts are protected by law, top Swedish and EU officials have declared. But why are the rights of those who oppose western agendas, colonialism, imperialism, Zionism and military interventions not equally protected by law? The Palestine boycott movement, BDS, for example, is constantly fighting in western societies and institutions for the right to use certain language or merely challenge, though non-violently, Israeli occupation and apartheid. Iranian media offices were shut down in some western countries, and various western-operated satelli...

It’s Hard for Americans to Engage in China-Bashing Without Tripping on Contradictions

BY RICHARD D. WOLFF Photograph Source: Studio Incendo – CC BY 2.0 The contradictions of China-bashing in the United States begin with how often it is flat-out untrue. The Wall Street Journal reports that the “Chinese spy” balloon that President Joe Biden shot down with immense patriotic fanfare in February 2023 did not in fact transmit pictures or anything else to China. White House economists have been trying to excuse persistent U.S. inflation saying it is a global problem and inflation is worse elsewhere in the world. China’s inflation rate is 0.7 percent year-on-year. Financial media outlets stress how China’s GDP growth rate is lower than it used to be. China now estimates that its 2023 GDP growth will be 5 to 5.5 percent. Estima...

Let’s Be Clear, Cluster Bombs are an Escalation

BY RON JACOBS Photograph Source: DoD photo, USAF – Public Domain When certain lines are crossed, the nature of other things becomes clearer. Providing cluster bombs to the Ukrainian military is such a rubicon. The pretense that the NATO sponsored forces have some kind of moral high ground in their conflict with Moscow is fading quickly. Even retired Vermont senator Patrick Leahy together with current senator Jeff Merkley acknowledged as much in a recent opinion piece in the newspaper of the warfare state, the Washington Post.(7/8/2023). Neither of these men oppose the US involvement in the conflict, but providing a weapon banned by most governments in the world is too much for these humanitarian warmongers. Historically, the first cluster bomb in the United States was deve...

States of Emergency and States of Exception

BY SCOTT REMER Image by engin akyurt. 1. The etymology of emergency On May 5, the World Health Organization declared an end to the COVID global public health emergency. For its part, the Biden administration allowed the US national public health emergency to elapse on May 11. Having lived through a seemingly interminable pandemic, four years of the Trump administration’s incessant chaos and malignancy, and January 6’s attempted coup d’état—all of which demarcated evident states of exception from ordinary life—it’s an opportune moment for us to meditate on the true meaning of the word emergency and reflect on the serious philosophical and political repercussions of our tendency to misunderstand and misuse the term, at least conventionally. Emer...

Stopping Alabama’s Addiction to Torture

BY STEPHEN COOPER Photograph Source: Rivers A. Langley – CC BY-SA 3.0 Alabama’s addiction to torturing poor people—disproportionately Black and brown people, and more often than not, people who are severely mentally ill—with inhumane correctional institutions, a dysfunctional parole system, and, in some cases, a secretive and sadistic lethal injection protocol, has been going on for so long, overwhelmingly, Alabamians and Americans are desensitized to it. Leadership and meaningful—forceful and coercive federal—intervention must be employed to put a stop to it. Unless you were born yesterday—or, unless your head’s been long-encased in a big block of sand—it’s fair to say, isn’t it: 2023 would be an atypical year in the 21st ...

Jenin: Nazi is unveiling the next phase of apartheid

In Jenin, Israel is unveiling the next phase of apartheid The horrifying sight of settler pogroms last week, in which hundreds of Israelis rampaged through Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank after a deadly shooting in the settlement of Eli, has pushed Israel’s security authorities into a very uncomfortable corner. Embarrassed by the viral images of burning homes, charred vehicles, and destroyed businesses, the army, police, and Shin Bet jointly denounced the attacks as “nationalist terrorism” that “contradict every moral and Jewish value.” The IDF has been particularly eager to present itself as a responsible body that will restore law and order, promising to take every measure against those “who act in a violent and extreme manner inside the Palestinian towns.”Putt...

Naziyahu Praises Zionist puppet’s PA ‘It Does the Job for Us’

Nazi PM Netanyahu commented on the future of the Palestinian Authority, expressing concern over the weakening positions of its 87-year-old president, Zionist puppet Mahmoud Abbas. According to the Nazi state-owned television Kan, Naziyahu said in his remarks at the Nazi Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that Nazi entity had no interest in the collapse of the PA. “We need the Palestinian Authority. We cannot allow it to collapse. We also do not want it to collapse. We are ready to help it financially,” Naziyahu was quoted as saying. “Where it succeeds in operating, it does the job for us,” he added. Nazi PM also said that he is “preparing for the day after” Abbas, who doesn’t have a successor. In relation to the Palestinian aspirations for an...

Jenin Nazi Holocaust: Three Palestinians Killed, Many Wounded

By Palestine Chronicle Staff Palestinian medical sources reported that three Palestinians were killed and 31 others were wounded by Nazi occupation army during their raid into the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank on Monday morning. The Ambush Nazi army carried out a large-scale Holocaust in Jenin. (Image: PC) Six Nazi soldiers were also injured in an ambush by the Palestinian Resistance. The Zionist media, citing Nazi military sources, said that the Nazi soldiers were wounded in an ambush by Palestinian fighters in Jenin, some of whom were in serious condition. For its part, the Resistance claims that the number is much higher, but Israel is hiding its casualties for political reasons. https://twitter.com/i/status/1670705473987674113 ...
