4 Feb 2020 – Impeached U.S. President, Donald J. Trump, gave his 1 hour and 18 minute “State of the Union” speech today. And they cheered and they cheered! They cheered – Republicans and Democrats alike, when Trump spoke about his regime change campaigns against Cuba, Venezuela and other countries. They cheered when Trump introduced CIA Venezuela coup puppet man, Juan Guaido. They cheered when Trump boasted about spending $2.2 TRILLION on the U.S. military in the 3 years since he became president… (Read on)

Reflecting on Colonization This Thanks-Taking Day
Krystal Two Bulls and James Albertini | Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 2 Dec 2019

28 Nov 2019 – Dear relatives, as a Native American woman, today is not a day of giving thanks. Most of us who were educated in Western schools were taught that today acknowledges the “Native Americans” saving the lives of the “Pilgrims,” by teaching them how to garden and hunt. They then supposedly shared a meal together, which was the predecessor of the Thanksgiving meal most Americans share today. That is not what happened and that is not what today represents for me.

Why Do So Many People Hate the U.S.?
James Albertini | Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 4 Nov 2019

1 Nov 2019 – The US illegal invasion of Iraq based on phony claims of weapons of mass destruction by Bush & co. led to the creation of ISIS. It has been endless regime-change wars, torture, rendition, and covert Special Ops in numerous countries. Hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed; millions wounded and displaced. No wonder so many people around the world hate the U.S. and see America as the greatest threat to peace on earth.

Kapu Aloha Needed Now More Than Ever to Free Us from Our Addiction to War & Violence
James Albertini | Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 12 Aug 2019

6 Aug 2019 – Kapu Aloha is a solemn Hawaiian pledge and commitment to live aloha (love and nonviolence) even under the most adverse circumstances. The U.S. spends 32 million dollars per minute on war – every minute of every hour of every day of the year. The U.S., which represents only 5% of the world’s population, has 45% of the world’s guns. There are 390 million guns in the U.S., more guns than people. This includes 15-20 million military assault weapons, the kind used in the recent mass killings in El Paso and Dayton.

War with Russia?
James Albertini | Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 8 Apr 2019

3 Apr 2019 – Former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper are key figures, along with mainstream media parrots, in fueling the new demonization of Russia on behalf of the U.S. Military Industrial Complex. The demonizing of Russia is now as bad as or worse than during the 1950s McCarthy-era and the height of the Cold War. To avoid catastrophic nuclear confrontation with Russia we need dialog and diplomacy, not escalating confrontation.

No More Violence!
James Albertini | Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 29 Oct 2018

27 Oct 2018 – In recent days, we have learned about the terrorist murders at a Jewish Synagogue, the mailing of package bombs to critics of President Trump, etc. What we haven’t heard as much are the ongoing US wars (is it currently six or seven?) in the Middle East that have resulted in millions killed, wounded or made refugees; covert US “Special Ops” taking place all over the world; and the past US wars and regime changes in Latin America that have created chaos, violence, poverty and a vast number of fleeing refugees and asylum seekers.

“I’m Not Political” – From 1942 to 1944, transport trains delivered Jews and others to Auschwitz gas chambers from all over German-occupied Europe, where they were killed en masse. In Hawaii, Camp H.M. Smith is headquarters of the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command covering more than 50% of the earth. U.S. nuclear submarines and strategic nuclear bombers are based on Oahu. The Pohakuloa Training Area is a training ground for nuclear war and military human experimentation. Are You Political?

End U.S. Addiction to Killing!
James Albertini | Malu ‘Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 5 Mar 2018

The U.S. empire has become a culture of mass violence that has been building layer upon layer, from the massacres of Native Americans, the killing of unarmed African Americans, to the millions killed in wars for resources disguised as freedom and democracy.

The details of the Oct 1 massacre in Las Vegas continue to unfold. At least 59 people dead and more than 525 injured at a country music concert.

Climate Disaster & Nuclear War!
James Albertini | Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 4 Sep 2017

29 Aug 2017 – The catastrophe is still unfolding with unprecedented rainfall and flooding from Hurricane Harvey. Houston is known as “Petro Metro” and is home to more than a dozen oil refineries. The people who live closest to these industrial sites are low income and minority communities. Poor people of color bear the greatest burden of climate change, harmful pollution, and have the fewest options when natural or man-made disaster strikes. Climate disaster and nuclear war pose the two greatest threats to life on the planet.

Danger of Global War: On the Edge of Global Crucifixion & Martial Law
James Albertini | Malu ‘Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 17 Apr 2017

In the event of a hot war with either Russia or Korea, the likelihood of a rapid escalation to the use of nuclear weapons is very real. It is even conceivable that the U.S. will attempt a pre-emptive nuclear first strike on Russia and/or North Korea under the illusion that it can “win” a nuclear war. If citizens of the world do not rise up to stop this madness now before it escalates further, the missiles fly, and the death toll mounts, Martial Law will be declared for those who survive.

Think Critically! Don’t Be Fooled!
James Albertini | Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 17 Oct 2016

The U.S. Mainstream Corporate Media is very good at blaming and demonizing others, especially Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The real purpose is to attack anyone who opposes U.S. dominance as the world’s sole superpower. Somehow the U.S. believes it has the right to decide who should rule or not rule in countries all around the world.

Three Minutes to Midnight!
James Albertini | Malu 'Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 3 Oct 2016

New “Dial a Nuke” weapons have various explosive power options, including smaller, more useable weapons, thus making nuclear war more thinkable in battlefield situations. The theory goes that nuclear war can now be “limited” and not necessarily “all out.” But who is going to be the referee once the nukes start flying? And won’t the losing side resort to bigger, more destructive weapons?

“Why? Because they want our land. They want to create a so-called universal land claims settlement of our Crown and Government lands, aka ‘Ceded Lands.’ The USA, that has never been respectful of indigenous peoples—as we are seeing in North Dakota, is trying to dissolve our rights as a people to self-determination as defined by international law, and our human rights as indigenous people that have also been codified by the United Nations.”

James Albertini | Malu ‘Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action – TRANSCEND Media Service, 23 May 2016

Russia has two bases in the Middle East and a handful in Central Asia. The U.S. has 662 bases around the world and Special Forces deployed in between 70 and 90 countries at any moment. Last year SOFs were active in 147 countries. The U.S. is actively engaged in five wars and is considering a sixth in Libya.

A Killing Nation!
James Albertini – TRANSCEND Media Service, 16 May 2016

It has become increasingly clear that the U.S. is not about the business of “freedom and democracy” but rather global domination that benefits an economic corporate elite at the expense of nearly everyone else and the earth itself. Of course, the domination is disguised and fueled by fear: war on terror, regime change, destroying Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc. but increasingly the world is seeing through the disguise. So what are we to do?

End the Cycle of Violence
James Albertini – TRANSCEND Media Service, 23 Nov 2015

The U.S. likes to see itself as the “exceptional” nation, a bastion of freedom and democracy, the world’s benevolent “good guy.” Evil is out there in others – the terrorists. But much of the world sees the U.S. (and its ally France) as a dangerous racist empire of domination out to exploit and control labor and resources to benefit corporate interests and a wealthy elite at the expense of the earth and everyone else. ISIS obviously sees itself as the “good guys” and the problem of evil focused in France, the US, etc. Both sides appear to agree on “by any means necessary.” Terrorism against terrorism is terrorism.

USA, Greatest Threat to Peace!
James Albertini – TRANSCEND Media Service, 3 Feb 2014

“The U.S. military budget is almost as large as the military spending of all the world’s other nations, combined. Together, the U.S. and its NATO allies account for more than 70 percent of global weapons spending. At last count, the U.S. spent six times more on war than China, and 11 times more than Russia. In fact, if you count up the U.S. and all of its allies, they are probably responsible for about 90 percent of total moneys spent on war.”

How Nuts is This?
James Albertini – TRANSCEND Media Service, 3 Jun 2013

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is preparing to issue a “License” for military bombing of radiation contaminated bases in Hawaii and elsewhere. The major public health danger of DU radiation is inhalation of small alpha particles. Hawaii retired Army MD and MPH Dr. Lorrin W. Pang said “alpha particle emitters within your body is the most deadly form of radiation of all. It will mutate your DNA more than any other type of radiation.” DU has been linked to a wide range of health problems, including certain cancers.
