Social media is awash with liberal progressive WOKE people decrying Trump's decision to end the American Empire's proxy war against Russia. I certainly understand why liberal progressive WOKE people despise Trump, as I am one of them. However, once upon a time, Democrats were the antiwar party. Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden ended that masquerade. It appears that many antiwar liberals crossed over to the pro-war side. This is understandable to some extent, as the Empire's propaganda machine has been demonizing Putin and Russia for my entire life, as well as convincing the electorate that war is sometimes necessary.
In 1962, President John F Kennedy negotiated an end to the Cuban Missile Crisis, an event that had American children learning how to survive a nuclear blast, by hiding under their desks, while their parents absorbed the feeling of helplessness. The threat was very real, as America learned much later that nuclear tipped missiles were already in Cuba, and that ground level commanders were authorized to use them.
My husband, former Congressman Dennis Kucinich and I first met twenty years ago over a rather unromantic yet profoundly important topic: monetary reform. The second time we met we were engaged and three months later we were married.
It was 2005, and, at that time, I had spent nearly a decade working with the Forum for Stable Currencies, a group based at the House of Lords in London, dedicated to exploring banking malpractice and the hidden mechanics of money creation and its systemic impact on society.
My journey into this lesser-known field began much earlier, in my teenage years, when a deep concern for the root causes of social and ecological destruction led me to ask a fundamental question: What is the greatest systemic driver of these crises?
Through a series of seemingly serendipitous encounters, I discovered monetary reform—a topic rarely discussed, yet foundational to the structure of our economy and the fate of nations.
“. . . I write today from a position rare for a former prosecutor: to beseech you to commute the sentence of a man I helped put behind bars.”
Thus begins one of the most stunning letters I have ever read, written almost four years ago by former U.S. Attorney James H. Reynolds to President Joe Biden, pleading with him to exonerate former American Indian Movement (AIM) leader Leonard Peltier, who had been convicted of murdering two FBI agents at South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975.
