“Take These Masks off of My Child”
Michael J. Talmo - TRANSCEND Media Service, 24 May 2021
17 May 2021 – Under the banner of fighting COVID-19 children all over the world are being abused and exploited in ways that would have been unthinkable over a year ago. Unfortunately, most people tend to blindly trust government officials and other so-called experts instead of their own common sense. Nazi Germany was obsessed with racial purity partly due to the pseudoscience of eugenics which was a popular ideology throughout the world at the time.

(Português) O proto facismo brasileiro e seu ¨Duce” e “Führer” de araque
Leonardo Boff – TRANSCEND Media Service, 1 Feb 2021
29 jan 2021 – Nosso “Führer/Duce”de araque afirma que o Brasil está em primeiro lugar no mundo no combate ao Corona-vírus quando no ranking internacional figura em último lugar. O ministro das relações exteriores, conhecido terraplanista, considera um louvor ser “pária internacional” e o afirma dentro do próprio prédio do Itamaraty para vergonha da memória de notáveis diplomatas e chanceleres. Se há um poço em nossa história, encontramo-nos no mais profundo, embora o seu “Führer/Duce” tresloucado, acha que estamos no monte das bem-aventuranças.

Why We Love War
David R. Loy | Transnational - TRANSCEND Media Service, 25 Jan 2021
22 Jan 2021 – War is hell, and today more than ever. Although high-tech weapons are a videogame for some, they are unbelievably destructive for everyone else. Whatever valor was once associated with hand-to-hand combat has long since disappeared being increasingly difficult to romanticize the death and misery war causes.

Chris Hedges | ScheerPost – TRANSCEND Media Service, 26 Oct 2020
19 Oct 2020 – The physical and moral decay of the United States and the malaise it has spawned have predictable results. We have seen in varying forms the consequences of social and political collapse during the twilight of the Greek and Roman empires, the Ottoman and Hapsburg empires, Tsarist Russia, Weimar Germany and the former Yugoslavia. Voices from the past, Aristotle, Cicero, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Joseph Roth and Milovan Djilas, warned us.

The Irrelevant UN
Eric Zuesse - TRANSCEND Media Service, 24 Aug 2020
21 Aug 2020 – This UN is not the one that had been intended. Today’s UN is an international PR forum for nations. But in the vision of its initiator, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, it was supposed to be a functioning international democracy. However, FDR was replaced by Harry S.

Why the U.S. Is the World’s Leading Perpetrator of Global Terrorism
Ghali Hassan | Countercurrents - TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Apr 2020
31 Mar 2020 – For nearly a century, the U.S. regime has made it its goal to terrorise (defenceless) nations it deemed geopolitically unfriendly. It is a well-financed and deliberate campaign of unprovoked aggression, war crimes and wanton destruction to dominate the world. Without effective deterrence, every nation is at the mercy of U.S. barbarism. More than 39 countries are currently under U.S.-imposed economic sanctions – more than a quarter of the world’s population. To avoid the fate of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, Iranian leaders should pursue a defensive military strategy by emulating the DPRK’s formidable defence capability model to stop any U.S. acts of terrorism against their nation.

Genetic studies in the late 20th century refuted the existence of biogenetically distinct races, and scholars now argue that “races” are cultural interventions reflecting specific attitudes and beliefs that were imposed on different populations in the wake of western European conquests beginning in the 15th century.

The Unimaginable Reality of American Concentration Camps
Masha Gessen – The New Yorker, 6 Jan 2020
Like many arguments, the fight over the term “concentration camp” is mostly an argument about something entirely different. It is not about terminology. Almost refreshingly, it is not an argument about facts. This argument is about imagination, and it may be a deeper, more important conversation than it seems.

Mediante la presentación del argumento de que la violencia cultural y estructural es un trauma que no ha sanado y no ha sido resuelto, este informe investiga más a fondo y defiende la expansión del contexto presentado por Galtung. Al hacer esto, este informe argumenta a favor del abordaje del trauma sin sanar para así poder abordar tanto los factores estructurales y sistémicos que mantienen a la violencia con vida, así como las manifestaciones directas de violencia.

Redrawing the Galtung Triangle – Finding Place for Healing Trauma in Peace Work
Kirthi Jayakumar – TRANSCEND Media Service, 17 Jun 2019
Abstract – The Galtung Triangle describes direct violence as emanating from underlying cultural and structural violence. This focal point enables a cogent understanding of how every instance of direct violence depicts something underlying that needs to be addressed. This paper digs deeper and makes the case for expanding the framework presented by Galtung, by advancing an argument that underlying structural and cultural violence, is unhealed and unresolved trauma. In doing so, this paper argues in favor of addressing the unhealed trauma in order to address both structural and systemic factors keeping violence alive, as well as the direct manifestations of violence.

The Assange Arrest Is a Warning from History
John Pilger – TRANSCEND Media Service, 15 Apr 2019
13 Apr 2019 – The glimpse of Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London is an emblem of the times. Might against right. Muscle against the law. Indecency against courage. Six policemen manhandled a sick journalist, his eyes wincing against his first natural light in almost seven years. That this outrage happened in the heart of London, in the land of Magna Carta, ought to shame and anger all who fear for “democratic” societies.

Yale Prof Sees Fascism Creeping In U.S.

The genocide of racial, sexual and religious minorities may not currently be underway in this country, but the fascist politics and rhetoric that always precede such atrocities have already taken root. So argues Yale University philosophy professor Jason Stanley in a study of the historic signs of fascist politics and their current manifestations in contemporary political movements in Hungary, Poland, Myanmar, and the United States.

Immagina che la sua cultura è la migliore del mondo, possiede la religione migliore l’unica vera, la miglior forma di governo, la democrazia, il migliore apparato tecnico scientifico che ha cambiato la faccia del pianeta e che ha dato la capacità di distruggere tutti gli esseri umani e parte della biosfera con le sue armi letali.

A Warning to Wannabe Pro-violence Fascist Tyrants (and Their Cult Followers): Don’t Disregard the “Living by the Sword–Dying by the Sword” Admonition
Gary G. Kohls, MD | Duty to Warn – TRANSCEND Media Service, 27 Aug 2018
Fascism emphasized action and heroism over intellectualism and philosophy. This is why Hitler’s ideal Aryan concept was a strong, handsome, and physically fit person rather than someone with a mind for civics. The other part of fascism was extreme patriotism, which is why each nation/group had its own fascist symbolism and mythology. “Put up your sword; for those who take up the sword will surely die by the sword”: Matthew 26:52

Liberal Internationalism: Peace, War and Democracy
Michael W. Doyle | Nobel Media – TRANSCEND Media Service, 27 Aug 2018
Peace and democracy are just two sides of the same coin, it has often been said. In a speech before the British parliament in June of 1982, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed that governments founded on a respect for individual liberty exercise “restraint” and “peaceful intentions” in their foreign policy. He then, perhaps unaware of the contrast, announced a “crusade for freedom” and a “campaign for democratic development.”

Johan Galtung – TRANSCEND Media Service, 28 Aug 2017
These are the goals of the United Nations; the Hardanger Academy made them three foci. The problem arose: what do they have in common? Are they three aspects of the same thing?

Aldous Huxley was a British writer who would become known for his novels, and especially Brave New World, which would delineate what the perfect dictatorship would look like.

Clive Stafford Smith – The Times Literary Supplement, 10 Jul 2017
28 Jun 2017 – Few people are aware that every week the White House observes “Terror Tuesday”, where the US President personally approves people for death without any legal process at all… Eventually, perhaps, we will haul the world back to the legal rule announced by Emer de Vattel a mere 259 years ago, when assassination was deemed to be simply barbaric.

Contrary to appearances, the abyssal line has not been erased with the end of territorial colonialism. It is still there today, just like colonialism is, albeit in new forms. It is this abyssal line that justifies racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, the destruction of countries like Iraq, Libya, or Syria, the Palestinian “final solution” perpetrated by victims turned into aggressors, the massive incarceration of young Black people in the United States, the inhuman treatment of refugees.

When Corporations Rule the World, Thank the CIA and the Media Disinformation Campaign –
“Who will tell the people that free speech is a ruse
The corporations run the country and then they make the news
Is it media or mind control, heroic victories or crimes
Who will tell the people that we’re living in these times?”

“Man strives for glory, honor, fame, so that all the world may know his name
Amasses wealth by brain and hand
Becomes a power in the land
But when he nears the end of life and looks back over the years of strife
He finds that happiness depends on none of these but love of friends.”
