In U.S. Presidential Race, Both Parties Shun Critical Issues In the US one-party system, the Democrat and Republican Presidential candidates avoid the crucial issues: the urgent need for global nuclear and conventional disarmament, America's Permanent War Economy, widespread hunger and poverty, evisceration of the middle class, the 9/11 false-flag operation---pretext for domestic repression and a phony War On Terror, the ever-growing national debt, dismantling of the costly US empire.

Trump Gets His Unpopular Military Parade, Countermarch Planned The Pentagon has delivered on Trump's request for a gigantic military parade to be held on Veterans Day in Washington, DC. Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, veterans groups, military top brass have all condemned the plan. A counter-demonstration, linked to simultaneous protests around the world,just might call attention to the insanity of the US permanent war economy and America's global bullying.

Tear Down The Great Firewall Of China As China's Communist Party begins its once-every-five-years meeting in Beijing, most of the world will look the other way while China's one-party dictatorship continues its appalling human-rights abuses, which include slave labor, torture of prisoners, and forcible surgical removal of their organs. One way to abolish this evil authoritarian system is by taking down The Great Firewall Of China which blocks internet freedom.

Trump's United Nations Speech: Abridged Edition Trump's speech before the UN displayed his usual bellicosity, counterproductive threats, and ultranationalism. His threat to annihilate another nation, from this podium, was unprecedented for a US president. His reiterated claim of US respect for other nations' sovereignty--a green light for dictatorships--represents a sharp departure from the democratic principles that previous US leaders have at least paid lip service to.

Goodbye, Trump Team Trump has demonstrated that he completely lacks the moral authority to lead the nation. The Republican Party needs to repudiate him, regardless of political expediency or poll numbers. The country needs to come together and expel this danger to American democracy.

India's Man-Made Disaster: How Many Will Die Due to Modi's Demonetization? India is still reeling from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's sudden, arbitrary removal of 86% of all cash in circulation on Nov. 8, 2016. While this "demonetization" scheme has disrupted lives and businesses across all classes, the rural and semirural population has been hardest hit. Reports of developing famine have emerged. India's opposition parties are weak, corrupt, and impotent to stop this colossal man-made disaster.
