Bibi: The Making of a Genocidaire In the end, I have to say, they got Nixon on trivial nonsense, but they got him. If Netanyahu goes down for a box of Cuban cigars, and his replacement understands that part of the problem was genocide, I bet even the Cubans will celebrate.

The Nazi Salute Has U.S. Origins An imperial presidency, a cult of idiocracy, and a team of hateful oligarchs is the problem. A salute is just a symbol.

Another World Is Already Here I hope everyone in the world reads the new book Another World Is Possible: Lessons for America from Around the Globe by Natasha Hakimi Zapata. I think the lessons could be for anywhere on Earth. They are stories of what is possible for the United States (or in some cases a single state thereof) or most anywhere else. But they are also stories of what is already real in certain parts of the world.

Hegseth Is a Bad Joke Like the Republican Party whose senators will make Pete Hegseth the next U.S. Secretary of War, Hegseth is a bad joke. The Democratic minority in the horribly unrepresentative Senate is a joke you might hear at an amateur mic night.

Why War Books Never Answer the Question Does slavery have a future? Cannibalism? Blood feuds? Patriarchy? Small pox? Capital punishment? Astrology? Maybe. Not yes. Only maybe. And that's all such books can and should say about war.

Blinken's Blinkered Vision has Spotted, of All Things, a Genocide The U.S. Secretary of State has taken a break from demanding more weapons shipments to fuel the genocide in Palestine, to announce that he has "recognized" a genocide in Sudan.

The Military is the Extremism According to a headline in The Hill newspaper, which takes a position typical of U.S. corporate media, "New Year's attacks fuel fears of extremism in military." In other words, an institution openly dedicated to mass killing and destruction may have fallen victim to infiltration by "extremists." As if there could be something more extreme than a military.

The Trump Five Percent When Donald Trump again warms the throne in Washington on Martin Luther King Day, each of the three evils that King worked to abolish will get a major boost: racism, extreme materialism, and militarism.

We Are One-Quarter Through War's Last Century There are clearly two ways in which this could be war's last century, and I'm betting we'll get either one or the other. In one, war eliminates us. End of story. In the other we eliminate war. Beginning of story.

It's Time to De-Normalize Murder I was asked to talk about Gaza and Syria, and so I shall, but I also want to talk about de-normalizing murder. There have been human societies in which murder was unthinkable, where the most typical Hollywood movie -- marketed to U.S. children -- has been seen as horrific and traumatizing. Normalizing murder is an option, not required by genes or economics or physics. I want us to take responsibility for that.

The U.S. Congress Pretends to Exist I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do have a question. If the $16 billion just spent on a U.S. election were spent next time on educating, training, mobilizing, and sustaining a nonviolent surrounding of the State Department until it complied with U.S. laws, would that do more good?

Peace Decides Elections The United States just held a presidential election between two pro-war, militarist candidates, each of whom could have been expected to shift yet more funding into war preparations, to arm the genocide in Palestine, and to wage and threaten war with abandon. And yet peace was, as it often is, a deciding factor.

The Message and War One insight in particular strikes me, and it is related to what Coates regrets about his article on reparations, namely his use of the example of German reparations to Israel.

Cherry Trees Blooming in Winter In my town the cherry trees now bloom as winter approaches, and the curious thing is that people no longer mention the lovely spring days in November without adding they they are aware it's an indication of a climate collapse that may rapidly render human life on Earth impossible. Everyone not only knows it but says it.

Politics and War By Other Means U.S. presidents are not servants of Russia. They are servants of the Israel lobby, of weapons dealers, of banks, of corporations, of media outlets, of those who legally bribe them by paying for their campaigns, of those who provide jobs through pretty much the only means the U.S. government supports (the war industry), of those who control the major media cartel, and of...

The Votes Against Harris that Never Get Mentioned Kamala Harris stands a good chance of losing the election over Gaza, and the people who so decide it will probably mostly not be Muslim or Arab -- they will likely be people of all backgrounds who were raised to believe that genocide was simply unacceptable, and that lies -- no matter how often repeated -- should not determine one's understanding of the world.
