Holding up the U.N. charter, which allows the use of military force for members only when necessary for self-defense or with the approval of the Security Council, Bolivian ambassador Sacha Sergio Llorenty Soliz said, “And we also know that they have nothing but scorn for international law…”
The truth is that the real problem lies in our hearts, and the corrupt politicians that currently represent us are simply a reflection of who we have become as a nation. The generations of people that founded this nation and established it as the greatest republic that the world had ever seen had far different values than most Americans do today. So until there is a dramatic shift in how most of us see the world, it is quite likely that not much in Washington will change.
We need a Poor People’s Campaign to amplify the voices of regular folks above the lobby of militarized industry, a poisoned economy, to demand jobs in industries other than war-making, to demand opportunities for working class folks that don’t require killing other working class folks.
Though the Federal government is taking steps to eliminate net neutrality, not all states are playing along. Last week, Washington became the first state in America to pass legislation protecting net neutrality.
A considerable and potentially momentous shift in the need for Seattle to confront its homelessness emergency occurred last week, when a judge invoked the 123-year-old Homestead Act in determining a homeless man’s vehicle is, in fact, his home — thusly, cannot be seized to satisfy an outstanding debt.
Paving the way for legalization of magic mushrooms in Colorado is a group called Denver for Psilocybin and they may soon have the go-ahead to get mushroom legalization on the ballot.
The United States has been fueling the conflict in Yemen for years by aiding Saudi Arabia’s bombing campaign with weaponry and military intelligence, leading to accusations by rights groups and some lawmakers that the U.S. is complicit in fueling what the United Nations describes as “the world’s largest humanitarian crisis.”
False flag terrorism has ruled our world for decades and modern-day warfare has become a tool used by the global elite for economic and political gain. This is no secret, and terms like “false flag terrorism” have, within the past couple of years, entered into mainstream political rhetoric, as multiple world leaders have expressed their concern that it’s now out of hand. This is precisely what so many academics and political personnel discussed at a conference on the “New World Order” a couple of years ago, when the term gained even more traction after political leaders like Bashar Al-Assad and Vladimir Putin stated that the chemical gas attack which took place in Syria, heavily blamed on Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad, was a false flag.

For over 16 years—a time period spanning the George W. Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations—the executive branch has leaned on that Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) to justify wars across the world—from the Philippines to Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia—in the name of defeating supposed terrorist organizations, without prior congressional approval.
With the #ArmMeWith social media campaign, educators are calling for the government to provide them with school supplies, books, and other resources instead of spending an estimated $1 billion to train teachers to act as armed guards—while also being responsible for educating the nation’s children.
Most Americans in 1913 paid no income tax. The average annual earnings of a middle-class family were approximately $800 and only people earning $3,000 or more annually were requested to voluntarily comply by filing a 1040 form to pay a one percent in taxes.
Republicans like to call Social Security and Medicare “entitlements,” as if they’re some kind of giveaway. But Americans pay into these programs throughout their entire working lives. It’s Americans’ own money they’re getting back through these programs.
Sixty percent of those surveyed said adults should have the right to buy marijuana. Nearly three-quarters of people ages 18 to 34 supported legalization according to the new poll.
“The FCC’s dangerous ruling goes against the core values of our democracy, and New York will do everything in our power to protect net neutrality and the free exchange of ideas,” Cuomo vowed in a statement. “With this executive order, we reaffirm our commitment to freedom and democracy and help ensure that the internet remains free and open to all.”
As far back as 1970, two well-respected members of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, Michael Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, created a hypothesis suggesting that the Moon is a spaceship created by unknown beings. Fast forward to today, and we have former high-ranking members of the military and intelligence agencies sharing their knowledge with regards to strange things that are happening on the Moon. A few examples are listed in the articles linked below.
Good says that a former member of MI6 revealed her conversation with Neil Armstrong at a NASA conference, when he confirmed there were “other” spacecraft on the Moon when Apollo 11 landed in 1969.
