The Ukraine War in the Light of the UN Charter
Alfred de Zayas | CounterPunch - TRANSCEND Media Service,
13 Feb 2023
6 Feb 2023 – Whether or not the West considers NATO’s expansion a provocation, what is crucial is how NATO expansion is perceived by those who feel threatened by it. In this context we must remember that article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits not only the use of force but also the threat of the use of force.

The Leopard’s Tale: U.S. Weapons Makers on a Marketing Spree
Eve Ottenberg | CounterPunch – TRANSCEND Media Service,
13 Feb 2023
10 Feb 2023 – When western Europe depleted its armory by shipping everything to Ukraine to get blown up by the Russians, it created a huge market opportunity for the U.S. weapons industry due to a concerted media and political humbug campaign to trap the world as a purchaser of U.S. armaments. In fiscal 2022, U.S. weapons sales increased 48.8 percent. War is good business, and blood-soaked war profiteers are making out like the mafiosi they are.

Ukraine’s Tank Problem
Binoy Kampmark | CounterPunch - TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Feb 2023
2 Feb 2023 – This is an ever-broadening war of the West against Russia with Ukraine an experimental proxy convinced it will win. Efforts to limit the deepening conflict continue to be seen as the quailing sentiments of appeasers, the wobbly types who find democracy a less than lovable thing.

The Pentagon’s Perpetual Crisis Machine
Jacob Hornberger | The Future of Freedom Foundation – TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Feb 2023
26 Jan 2023 – When the Pentagon crossed Russia’s “red line” by threatening to absorb Ukraine into NATO, the Pentagon achieved what it wanted — the continuation of its old Cold War racket, except that the Reds were coming to get us. But they’re doing their best to gin up a crisis with China over Taiwan, which will enable them to exclaim, “See, you need us to protect you from both Russia and the Chinese Reds.”

(Italiano) Immanuel Wallerstein su sinistra e destra globali
Johan Galtung | Centro Studi Sereno Regis –TRANSCEND Media Service,
23 Jan 2023
Crisi, appunto. La via d’uscita è un discorso nuovo, meno materiale, più spirituale; qualcosa per cui vivere, non solo da. In questo momento Wallerstein vede il capitalismo in crisi senza rimedio–di cui non sono così sicuro–e anche l’egemonia americana in crisi senza rimedio–una visione che condivido–, come la caduta di un impero per il quale i locali le élite erano solite uccidere e governare; ora deve fare la maggior parte degli omicidi da solo.

Johan Galtung - TRANSCEND Media Service,
16 Jan 2023
Crisis, indeed. The way out is a new discourse, less material, more spiritual; something to live for, not only from. Right now Wallerstein sees capitalism in crisis with no remedy–of which I am not so sure–and the US hegemony also in a crisis with no remedy–a view I share–, as the fall of an empire for which local elites used to kill and rule; now having to do most killings itself.

US Tax Dollars at Work: Neocolonial Dictatorship, Paramilitary and Police Terror in Haiti Today
Seth Donnelly | CounterPunch - TRANSCEND Media Service,
5 Dec 2022
2 Dec 2022 – Sending additional foreign troops into Haiti: it misses the fact that it was subjected to such an intervention culminating in the foreign occupation of Haiti since 2004.

(Italiano) Il risveglio arabo-musulmano e USA/Israele
Johan Galtung | Centro Studi Sereno Regis –TRANSCEND Media Service,
28 Nov 2022
Il risveglio arabo è contro la violenza e la corruzione a favore della democrazia, della crescita e dell’occupazione, e contro il dominio USA-Israele. Ma credere che l’Islam tolleri il secolarismo imposto è incredibilmente ingenuo. C’è un risveglio musulmano. Tuttavia, ci sono molti islam, come ci sono i cristiani e gli ebraismi. Come reagiscono USA-Israele e quale sarebbe una reazione positiva alla loro reazione?

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (24 Nov 1864 – 9 Sep 1901)
Toulouse-Lautrec Foundation – TRANSCEND Media Service,
21 Nov 2022
At the age of 13 Henri fractured his left thigh bone, and at 14, the right. His legs ceased to grow, so that as an adult he was only 1.54m. tall, having developed an adult-sized torso, while retaining his child-sized legs. He is also reported to have had hypertrophied genitals. Physically unable to participate in most of the activities typically enjoyed by men of his age, Toulouse-Lautrec immersed himself in his art. An alcoholic for most of his adult life, he was placed in a sanatorium shortly before his death.

The Stage Is Set for US Combat Troops in Ukraine
Mike Whitney | The Unz Review - TRANSCEND Media Service,
21 Nov 2022
11 Nov 2022 – If US forces join the fighting, the calculus for winning could change dramatically, but the strategic objectives would remain the same. No nation can be expected to live at peace when a gun is pointed at its head. That is why Putin opposed NATO membership for Ukraine, and that is why the current war is being fought.

The Arab awakening is against the violence and corruption in favor of democracy, growth and jobs, and against US-Israel domination. But to believe that Islam tolerates imposed secularism is incredibly naive. There is a Muslim awakening. However, there are many Islams, like there are Christianities and Judaisms. How do USA-Israel react, and what would be a positive reaction to their reaction?

Unapologetic about Arguing for Peace
Ivana Nikolić Hughes | Nuclear Age Peace Foundation - TRANSCEND Media Service,
7 Nov 2022
1 Nov 2022 – The lack of calls for peace in the mainstream is just the beginning of the problem. As some leaders like Pope Francis, the Dalai Lama, Antonio Guterres and Noam Chomsky have called for peace, they’ve been quickly labeled as Putin apologists or worse. The Progressive Caucus in Congress sent a letter to President Biden urging a diplomatic solution, only to withdraw it a day later. When did peace become a bad word, a dirty word?

How I discovered the Three Rules for Transforming Conflict while working on border conflicts in Ecuador. Poignant lessons about the essential nature of conflict and the existential value of improving our political, social, and environmental discourse. They present a guide to improving collective decision making; teach us to get clear on what the conflict is really about; to include everyone who is involved; and to ensure that the process of transformation is aligned with the desired outcome. Win-Lose processes are dividing us, impeding our healing and progress.
