1 février 2022 – C’est une vieille expression selon laquelle “les poulets sont rentrés chez eux pour se percher”. Les guerres que l’Empire américain a menées à l’étranger arrivent aux États-Unis sur son propre territoire !

David Maybury | The Reformed Physicist - TRANSCEND Media Service,
7 Feb 2022
I live in downtown Ottawa, right in the middle of the trucker convoy protest. They are literally camped out below my bedroom window. They moved in on Friday [28 Jan] and they seem determined to stay. They are our moral conscience reminding us – with every blow of their horns – what we should have never forgotten: We are not a country that makes an untouchable class out of our citizens.

The Pentagon and CIA Have Shaped Thousands of Hollywood Movies into Super Effective Propaganda
David Swanson| World Beyond War - TRANSCEND Media Service,
10 Jan 2022
5 Jan 2022 – Propaganda is most impactful when people don’t think it’s propaganda, and most decisive when it’s censorship you never knew happened. When we imagine that the U.S. military only occasionally and slightly influences U.S. movies, we are extremely badly deceived.

Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov certainly merit the distinction. But there is another journalist who is even more deserving and his recognition would have contributed far more to the cause of world peace. That is Julian Assange.

1 Sep 2021 – As Karl Marx put it, spending money on the military is like throwing money into the sea. It produces nothing of value. And eventually an economy that produces nothing of value will crash from its own internal contradiction. This is the contradiction that led Johan Galtung to predict the end of the American Empire by the year 2020.

Et finalement, une économie qui ne produit pas de valeur s’effondrera à cause de sa propre contradiction interne. C’est la contradiction qui ont conduit Johan Galtung à prédire la fin de l’empire américain d’ici 2020.

Il ne semble pas probable que l’avancée de la démocratie et de la conscience anti-guerre puisse renverser l’empire américain et sa culture de guerre, mais comme son prédécesseur, l’empire soviétique, finira par s’effondrer à cause de ses propres contradictions. Et à ce point lá, le développement de la démocratie et de la conscience anti-guerre sera essentiel si on peut faire un changement radical dans la gouvernance mondiale, une ONU basée directement sur le peuple et promouvant une culture de paix.

1 Aug 2021 – It does not seem likely that the advance in democracy and anti-war consciousness can overthrow the American empire and its culture of war, but like its predecessor, the Soviet Empire, it will eventually collapse from its own contradictions. At that point, the development of democracy and anti-war consciousness will be essential if we are to make a radical change in global governance, a UN based directly on the people and promoting a culture of peace.

1 Jul 2021 – The key is the reform of the United Nations Security Council, which at the present time is controlled by the nuclear powers and unable to act in the Middle East because of alliances with the State of Israel. What we have now is not promoting a culture of peace. What we need is radical change, and the UNSC is a key point to be changed.

Why had the 1917 Revolution in Russia been followed by the defeats of the working class in Italy, China, Germany and Spain, to name only the most consequential of the political disasters? Why had the Great Depression—the greatest economic breakdown in the history of capitalism—led not to socialism, but, instead, to fascism and war? Why had the workers’ state founded on the basis of the October Revolution degenerated into a monstrous totalitarian regime?

In Defence of Conspiracy Theories (and Why the Term Is a Misnomer)
David Coady | The Conversation - TRANSCEND Media Service,
31 Aug 2020
Yesterday’s conspiracy theories often become today’s incontrovertible facts. In the mid-1990s, journalist Gary Webb’s claims that CIA officials conspired with drug dealers to bring cocaine into the US were dismissed as a conspiracy theory. But the claims were true.

These terms serve to herd respectable opinion in ways that suit the interests of the powerful.
