In a conversation in 2020 with Princeton Professor Emeritus, Richard Falk, he told me that historically, colonized nations that have won the legitimacy war have always won their freedom.
Palestine is unlikely to be the exception. The Gaza war, however, is confronting the world with an unprecedented challenge, specifically to governments’ relationship with international law, their obligations to international institutions, such as the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court and others.
There’s a guide at wordsaboutwar.org to some of the standard war language used for big bucks by professional propagandists and for free by almost everyone else who has normalized it and not given it another thought. Manufacturing tools for mass murder is called “the defense industry,” those murdered are called “collateral damage,” the purpose is labeled “the national interest,” etc.
The trouble with talking like the Pentagon or CNN is not just that it helps to — in the words of George W. Bush — catapult the propaganda, but also that it makes war in general seem more acceptable and less horrific than it is.
I want to add a friendly amendment to efforts to reduce the use of Pentagon language. I think CIA language is a problem as well. I think it’s at least as present as war language in Hollywood productions, and in massive child-focused cultural efforts like the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C.
Inland southern China could then also use existing north-south roads and rails to enable Chinese overland access, for the first time, to southern Thailand's two planned deep-sea ports on the Andaman and Gulf coasts, opening westward to the Indian Ocean and east to the Pacific.
Thailand describes the Land Bridge plan as a faster, shorter, cheaper route for international shipping compared to the narrow, congested, southern Strait of Malacca wedged between Singapore and Indonesia.
The Land Bridge could also become an alternative route if hostilities erupt in the region and the Malacca Strait is blockaded.
Many of the international ships passing Singapore carry Middle Eastern oil and other products to China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and elsewhere in the Pacific.
I start with genocide news, go to actions YOU CAN take and then five more
items of relevance (please share and act)
Item 1: (Genocide) Seven Babies died in one of the only remaining hospital
with incubators. They died.... for lack of milk. They add to over hundreds
of babies (less than 1 year old) who died by carpet bombing residential
neighborhoods. But now, the deaths of babies is already more from
malnutrition and diseases (genocide by famine) than from bombings. It is
expected to rise. Amnesty on genocide by hunger
The following abstracts are from important medical journal articles that represent a very small percentage of all the articles that have been authored by groups of (courageous) non-indoctrinated researchers who have been looking into the important issue of the taboo subject of (because of its iatrogenicity) adjuvant-induced autoimmune disorders.
These pre-2018 authors are among the few researchers that did not have financial or professional conflicts of interest with any of the following entities:
1) pro-vaccine, for-profit Big Pharma or Big Vaccine corporations;
2) pro-vaccine establishment educational/research institutions (including medical schools, large hospitals and large clinics/HMOs);
3) pro-vaccine regulatory agencies (such as the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, etc);
4) pro-vaccine medical professional medical lobbying groups (including the AMA, AAP, AAFP, etc);
“By the way, there’s also been slaughter in Israel. So, there’s a lot of pain on both sides. So, we don’t really need a lecture on the problem. I’m not talking about the politics of this tonight.” That was Anderson Cooper’s response before shutting Nina Turner down.
Bakari Sellers interject by saying that “prior to October 7 there was a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.”
Nina Turner was describing the ongoing genocide as taking place in Gaza in realtime. Turner’s comments. were spot on. “While this president was in the ice cream shop saying, ‘I think there’s going to be a ceasefire,’ 30,000 people have been slaughtered,” Turner said. “People are living in famine. They can’t get medical care. So, it can’t come soon enough for them.”
That was part of the exchange during CNN’s coverage of Tuesday’s Michigan primary, as reported by NY Post.
Seriously Anderson? Are you being stupid or just working hard. Is this how much Israel has a grip on you? That is what is called moral flexibility. Let me share with you today’s statistics.
