Израиль не бедная страна. Это, конечно, не самый бедный в мире. Так почему же он является главным получателем военной помощи США?
(DavidSwanson.org) —Did you know that the U.S. government has done something odd with your tax dollars? The ones you get so furious and indignant about when they’re used to feed anybody who’s hungry? It has given over
Что самое глупое, что Конгресс мог сделать в этот момент? Как насчет выдвижения законопроекта, чтобы заставить молодых женщин зарегистрироваться для военного призыва. Встречайте HR 6415.
(DavidSwanson.org) — I know it’s stiff competition, but hear me out. The threat of nuclear apocalypse is higher than ever. The threat of irreversible climate collapse is higher than ever and
В то время как Нью-Йорк страдает от коронавируса, стоит напомнить, что во имя науки в 1966 году правительство США выпустило бактерии в нью-йоркских подземках. И это только верхушка айсберга.
(DavidSwanson.org) — What’s the matter with science? By that, do I mean, why don’t we turn away from corrupt politics and religion and follow the way of science? Or do I mean, why have we allowed science to so corrupt our politics and our culture? I

Large, well-funded organizations are beginning to edge toward opposition to at least certain wars, organizations that didn’t oppose any wars when George Bush II was president, much less when Obama was.

A vote against one war is never just a vote against one war. It’s a vote to challenge, if ever so slightly, the power of the war machine. Some Senators are paid not to do that.
