Helping Create Peace at the Polls

BY MELINDA BURRELL I love getting my “I Voted” sticker on Election Day, after chatting with other voters in line and carefully following poll workers’ instructions for marking my choices. Having worked in many places where voting is a relatively new right, I cherish all of this. Yet this tense year, things in some places may be rather different. A security guard is now visible at the early voting site in the public library near me. I’m reading articles that detail threats against election officials and poll workers, as well as intimidation at ballot drop boxes. Despite all this, if we’re prepared, we can ensure our Election Day is still a fun civic event. We all can play a role in preventing or de-escalating tensions at our polling places. We can start by understanding the...

Afghanistan: Taliban ban women’s entry to amusement parks

Edited By: Mukul Sharma Afghan women protest against inequality under Taliban government Photograph:( AFP ) STORY HIGHLIGHTS The move is the latest among a series of gender-oppressive measures in Afghanistan that country's Taliban rulers have imposed to curtail women's rights and freedoms in the country. Women in Afghanistan will be denied entry to amusement parks in the country, the Taliban government's "morality police" ordered on Wednesday. The ban adds to a series of gender-oppressive measures imposed by the Taliban-led government after it dethroned the democratically-elected Ashraf Ghani government in Kabul last August, followed by a chaotic exit of the last US forces stationed there in operative capacity since the aftermath of September 11, 2001 attacks. ...

FREEMASONRY IN VATICAN – 1. From the Alta Vendita Plot to the Pecorelli’s List with Notable Cardinals Inside

Investigation in two episodes on the infiltrations of Freemasons in the Catholic Church On the cover image a Freemasonry emblem and the cardinals Baggio and Villot, , considered Freemasons by the “Pecorelli List” VERSIONE IN ITALIANO by Raymund Maria for LifeSiteNews – All links to the Gospa News articles have added aftermath. The posts in Italian can be read in English with simultaneous machine translation Something has gone seriously wrong within the hierarchy of the Church. The widespread heresy, scandal, corruption, and apostasy of the shepherds whom Christ aptly condemned as “wolves in sheep’s clothing” is too systematic, and now overt, to have come about by mere chance or human weakness. Ingenious planning and ruthless, calculated execution hav...

The UK Could Be on the Way to Its Third Prime Minister in 3 Months

U.K. PM 'Zionist puppet'** Liz Truss answers questions at a press conference in 10 Downing Street after sacking her former chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, on October 14, 2022, in London, England. BYSasha Abramsky, Truthout The U.K. government is in full meltdown. The new prime minister, selected by a vote of barely 140,000 Conservative Party members after Boris Johnson was forced out by his parliamentary colleagues back in early July, is on the ropes; she has fired her hapless chancellor, and the public is in full revolt against her party. Since Brexit, the Conservative Party has had four leaders in quick succession: David Cameron, who made the losing bet that the “remain in Europe” side of the Brexit referendum would easily win; Theresa May; Boris Johnson and now Liz Truss. Not sin...

The Migrant Humanitarian Crisis Deepens on the Rio Grande

BY KENT PATERSON Photograph Source: Glysiak – CC BY 3.0 The long-running migrant/refugee crisis gripping the U.S.-Mexico border erupted again into violence on Halloween Day 2022. This time the incident involved mainly Venezuelan asylum seekers who’ve been camped out for weeks on the Rio Grande dividing Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, from El Paso, Texas. An October 31 demonstration in the drying out river bed by migrants seeking entrance into the U.S. turned sour when, according to accounts published in the Ciudad Juárez and El Paso press, a Central American migrant allegedly tossed a rock at deploying U.S. Border Patrol agents who responded by attempting to arrest some protesters and firing pepper spray projectiles. At least two migrants were reportedly injured in the alte...

An Economist’s Chart Goes Viral: Shows Main Source of Inflation

BY PAM MARTENS - RUSS MARTENS Source: Josh Bivens. On April 21 Josh Bivens posted a titillating analysis on the Working Economics Blog. Bivens has a Ph.D. in Economics from the New School for Social Research and is the Director of Research at the Economic Policy Institute.

How should policymakers respond?” Included in the blog post was a graph showing that corporate profits account for 53.9 percent of the recent rise in inflation versus an average of 11.4 percent for the period 1979 through 2019. (See above chart.) Bevins’ chart made it into the hands of Congresswoman Katie Porter, who blew it up into a giant poster and explained its significance during a hearing before ...

Chasing a Mirage: How Arab Parties Validate Nazi Apartheid

Chasing a Mirage: How Israel Arab Parties Validate Israeli Apartheid BY RAMZY BAROUD Photograph Source: צילום: איציק אדרי – CC BY 2.5 Regardless of the outcome of the latest Israeli elections, Arab parties will not reap meaningful political benefits, even if they collectively achieve their highest representation ever. The reason is not about the parties themselves, but in Israel’s skewed political system which is predicated on racism and marginalization of non-Jews. Israel was established on a problematic premise of being a homeland of all Jews, everywhere – not of Palestine’s own native inhabitants – and on a bloody foundation, that of the Nakba and the destruction of historic Palestine and the expulsion of its people. Such beginnings were hardly conducive to the ...

U.S. Review Envisions Using Nuclear Weapons Against Non-Nuclear Attacks

BY PATRICK MAZZA Ivy Mike nuclear blast, Enewetak Atoll, November 1, 1952. Photo: National Nuclear Security Administration. On the 2020 campaign trail, Joe Biden said the U.S. should never be the first to use nuclear weapons. “There is no first use doctrine we should be pushing,” he said. But a new administration review has reiterated the long-term policy that the U.S. will launch nuclear weapons in response to non-nuclear attacks. It once again underscores the power of the military-industrial-congressional complex to maintain the status quo, even when it poses civilization-ending dangers Stephen Young, of the Union of Concerned Scientists Global Security Program, said the new nuclear review “abandons the pledge Biden made on the campaign trail to support a ‘n...

The Militarism and Mechanics of the National Security State

BY MELVIN GOODMAN Photo by Colin Lloyd In the past several weeks, we have gained excellent insight into the processes of the National Security State that finds the White House, the Congress, and the mainstream media cooperating to justify additional defense spending and strategic weaponry. Following the attacks of 9/11, we have seen the steady militarization of our national security policies, including the use of the military to secure foreign policy goals and the militarization of our intelligence community. In addition to excessive spending on defense, there has been an increased operational tempo that takes advantage of 700 military bases and facilities the world over. The United States, moreover, has consistently underestimated its power and influence, an...
