Non esiste nessuna minaccia dalla Russia, nessuna Guerra Ibrida. Solo leader UE incompetenti, bugiardi, ladri e corrotti, che mentono inventando minacce inesistenti per avere una scusa per raddoppiare la spesa militare e ricevere tangenti dall’industria militare o altri benefici.

A iniciativa 'Camp Summit', no acesso sul da Web Summit, no Parque das Nações, em Lisboa, juntou ao final da tarde desta quinta-feira umas dezenas de ativistas empunhando as caras impressas em papel de Carlos Moedas (PSD), do primeiro-ministro, Luís Montenegro, do ministro da Administração Interna, Luís Neves, e da ministra da Saúde, Ana Paula Martins.

For too long we turned our eyes away.
The area is sizzling and violence is surging.
Our presence in Ras El-Ein is not a choice but a necessity.
When we are there we are a barrier between the settlers' violence and the Palestinians; when we are not there the Jewish terror goes wild.
"In a place where there are no men, strive to be a man."

Ao longo da minha vida, conheci gente incrível em muitos aspectos. Hoje, assisti, em Madrid, à declaração do meu amigo Fergie Chambers, preso desde julho devido a um pedido de extradição do regime de Trump que o persegue pelo seu apoio ao povo palestiniano.

[Chris Hedges @ChrisLynnHedges]

Power does not rest in the Congress. It does not rest in the courts. It does not even rest in the imperial presidency. It rests in the hands of Wall Street financiers, Silicon Valley, private equity firms, the fossil fuel industry, the predatory health care and pharmaceutical giants, agribusinesses and, most of all, the war industry.

No mainstream politician, including Bernie Sanders, dares utter a word against our entrenched militarism. If you do, you end up like Ralph Nader, who was turned into a pariah by a compliant media and our corporate-indentured political parties. Nader spoke the truth. He paid for his honesty.

We are about to witness the largest increase in war spending in American history with a proposed $1.5 trillion budget. The average taxpayer already shells out over $4,000 a year to the war industry as consumer and environmental agencies are dismantled, health care and education are defunded and programs such as Medicaid and food stamps (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) are slashed.

The new Pentagon budget will hand $58.5 billion to artificial intelligence and military command-and-control centers and see the effective merging of the United States and Israeli military industrial complexes. Seventy-four percent of the increase in the proposed $1.5 trillion budget will go to private contractors, including those who are building massive data centers on military bases.

None of this is good for us or good for the planet. The Pentagon, powered by the fossil fuel industry, is the world’s largest institutional polluter, emitting an estimated 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2024.

Americans, meanwhile, struggle with rising prices — nearly 30 percent of people go into debt to buy groceries. An estimated 114,174. Americans die each year due to lack of health insurance or inadequate health care while a single-payer universal health care system could cover every American, save more than 100,000 lives a year, and reduce annual health expenditures by $1.04 trillion, or nearly 20 percent. Twenty-five percent of Americans are functionally unemployed. The minimum wage remains frozen, despite Democratic Party promises to raise it, at $ 7.25 an hour.

The elites use war not only for personal enrichment, but to stifle class conflict.

War, as W.E.B. Du Bois said, diverts the poor from their real interests. It funnels national frustrations into the “heroic” battle against a common enemy. The nationalist cant, with its endemic racism, seduces those who are alienated or on the margins of society into feeling they suddenly belong. It entices them to sacrifice themselves for a “noble” cause. They become the architects of their own enslavement. They march like sheep into war’s purgatory.

By the time they wake up, it is too late. They are cast aside, as so many of our veterans have painfully discovered, like human refuse.

But as a tactic to consolidate power and enrich the billionaire class, it is unbeatable.

Wars will only be curtailed, if not halted, when we nationalize the weapons industry and dramatically reduce the military budget. Until then, nothing, absolutely nothing, will change.

Indeed, things will only get worse.

No one in Congress — or any other branch of government — will do this for us.

The masters of war sitting in the boardrooms of Boeing, General Dynamics or Northrop Grumman are not praying for peace in the Middle East or coexistence with China and Russia. The generals — who build their careers by orchestrating wars and post military careers enriching themselves working for defense contractors — are not seeking a cessation of global conflicts. They are seeking hundreds of billions in taxpayer dollars and government debt to fuel the self-defeating cycle of endless war.

The corporate vultures — especially the war makers — are, as I write, descending on Congress. They are meeting with Democratic Party leaders and holding out promises of millions in cash. They will corrupt, neutralize and compromise most. They will destroy the careers of the very few who refuse to do their bidding.

They hold the real power. They have no intention of surrendering it.

The manufacturing of weapons systems and the waging of war are the chief activities of the U.S. government. It is no longer one among other means of advancing the national interest. War and violence are how we speak to the rest of the world.

The “shadow world,” — as the author Andrew Feinstein calls it in his book on the global arms trade — is defined by staggering levels of corruption, deception and senseless death. It is lawless and unregulated. Its criminal activities, cannibalization of national budgets and secrecy are sanctified in the name of “national security.”

Lockheed Martin, RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies), Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, Leonardo, Airbus, Rheinmetall and ThyssenKrupp, along with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Palantir, Goldman Sachs, Citibank and Exxon, are the state.

We, including our political class, are the vassals.

🇵🇹 Após a controvérisa com o MNE português, o secretário-geral da NATO, Mark Rutte, esclareceu hoje que não se referia aos políticos quando criticou Portugal, mas que as suas críticas se dirigiam ao povo por sentir a Rússia como “uma ameaça distante”.

ספרו לי קצת על היהדות והאידיאולוגיה של האשפות שהלמו אתמול במוט ברזל בפניה של אשה בת 70(!) שהגיעה לעזור במסיק של קול רבני לזכויות אדם - ואחר כך קינחו בסדרת בעיטות כשהיא על הרצפה, שוברים לה שלוש צלעות וגורמים לחבלות קשות בפנים. היא עדיין מאושפזת. נשמות שחורות
