Caitlin Johnstone: When the Imperial Media Report on an Israeli Massacre
The only difference between our propaganda and the propaganda of a ruthless dictatorship is that the people who live under a dictatorship know they are being fed propaganda, whereas westerners are trained to believe they are ingesting impartial factual reporting.
Two Ceasefires Now! Gaza and Ukraine
A CEASEFIRE NOW! is called for in two wars the U.S. government is deeply involved in, shipping weapons and providing financial support. Neither of these wars benefits the American people, whose tax money is supporting death and destruction and taking tax money away from needed help for the hungry, sick, and homeless.
ANTHEM by Leonard Cohen, Sung by Sara Thomsen
I can't run no more With that lawless crowd While the killers in high places Say their prayers out loud But they've summoned, they've summoned up A thundercloud They're going to hear from me
Leave Africa for Africans, by Mary Beaudoin
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, whom we could expect to be a big fan of coups given how instrumental she was in orchestrating one in Ukraine in 2014, flew to the Nigerien capital, Niamey, on August 6. However, this time she was in opposition to the coup...
Chris Hedges: Let Them Eat Dirt
The Nazis in 1942 systematically starved the 500,000 men, women and children in the Warsaw Ghetto. This is a number Israel intends to exceed.
Divest from Militarism, Invest in Life! a conversation about war and climate change
Climate collapse in Gaza is a manufactured crisis and includes 281,000 metric tons of carbon in less than 100 days from the bombing as well as the destruction of 800,000 olive trees destroying not only the economy of Gaza but were old growth trees that remove CO2 from the air. Do not depend on the DOD to lead energy transition: we have all we need in the civilian sector, -Neta Crawford
CEASEFIRE NOW! AND FOREVER! FREE PALESTINE!
Without adequate food, water, medicine, shelter, or other human needs due to the Israeli-imposed siege, the population is exhausted, traumatized, starved, and dehydrated, and disease is beginning to spread – this on top of being bombed, slaughtered, and maimed.
GAZA: “A Graveyard for Children,” by Liza Burr
The Solution: A Just Peace that offers one democratic, secular state that offers justice and equality for all its citizens...regardless of religion, ethnicity, or any identity marker.
Gaza War Fuels Climate Crisis: “Massive” Carbon Emissions from Israeli Bombing
“The planet-warming emissions generated during the first two months of the war in Gaza were greater than the annual carbon footprint of more than 20 of the world's most climate-vulnerable nations.”
DN! “Free the Truth”: The Belmarsh Tribunal on Julian Assange & Defending Press Freedom
Is the FREE PRESS the "enemy of the people'? Or is PRESS FREEDOM, how the public is informed and an absolute necessity in a democracy and any form of government that is not authoritarian where all those who live under that government have an equal voice and a say?
Henry Giroux: Killing Children, the Burdens of Conscience, and the Israel-Hamas War: A Criminal Policy of Revenge
In this case, there is a need to get beyond the language of moral condemnation, which overrides what it might mean to both provide security for Israelis and liberation and freedom for Palestinians.

What Media? Alternatives to Mainstream Corporate Media and where to find them.
Alternative news sources and journalists to the Mainstream Corporate Media (MSM). A long list and where to find them, but not definitive.. Do your own exploring. There's a wealth of opinion and information with research, analysis, and fresh approaches by experienced journalists and commentators.
The Belmarsh Tribunal, Free Assange, hosted by Democracy Now!
What is at stake: To all people of conscience an exhortation to act: "We will not be silent." Expert witnesses from the U.S. and Europe speak to what amounts to the "framing" of Julian Assange, how his case progressed as Trump filed the indictments, then to the hearings, and to how all of this will affect free speech if Assange is extradited and found guilty in a U.S. court for publishing the truth about American drones' "collateral damage" in the murder of civilians. Mike Pompeo characterized WikiLeaks (a publisher!) as an "enemy espionage organization" for the release of condemning CIA data. And the global rise of fascism begins with targeting and discrediting journalists. Freedom of the press and the right of people to know what their government is doing as well as the rights of journalists and their publishers of all viewpoints to publish the truth is threatened, but Biden foolishly pushes forward to extradite Assange instead of freeing him, although journalist and human rights organizations as well as heads of state worldwide have spoken up for Assange, press freedom, and the people's right to the truth.
Chris Hedges: The Death of Israel
This is not a war against Hamas. It is a war against the Palestinians. The objective is to kill or remove 2.3 million Palestinians from Gaza.
Caitlin Johnstone: The Mad Propaganda Push To Normalize War Profiteering In Ukraine
Ukraine is a giant advertisement for weapons of mass slaughter, and the cost of that corporate ad is not money but human blood.
The Lies of War Can Be Ended by Truth, by Amy Blumenshine
While the perpetrators of those war crimes were never charged, Assange, the publisher of the documentation revealing them, faces a possible U.S. prison sentence of 175 years in what will effectively be solitary confinement. Free Speech, Free Julian Assange!
Caitlin Johnstone: A giant empire attacking nations who have the temerity to insist on their own national sovereignty and The demolition of Gaza is not necessary.
Hamas is incapable of producing recruitment materials more effective than the footage Israel itself is creating by incinerating Palestinian families in full view of the entire world.
