Foreign Policy Paradigm for the USA? Hegemony and Annihilation or Restoration
of Sanity?” TRANSCEND Media
Service. 10 Dec 2024.
Compared to the great initiatives of the past 260 years, the USA of the past
several decades is a strange and foolish creature running roughshod over the
dignity of people and nations in a race for mass nuclear extermination.
PREVENTING WARS
THE NUCLEAR RESISTER (Nov. 12, 2024).
This number reports on resisters jailed from
California to New Hampshire. A day- by-
day record of the US and Canadian protesters of the genocide in Gaza fills two
full pages. Jailings for protesting a
variety of issues are reported from around the world: Australia, Japan,
Kazakhstan, New Zealand, England. The
present condition of Daniel Hale, US drone warfare whistleblower, is described;
Hale received the inaugural International Ellsberg Whistleblower Award. Two books are noted: Arise and Witness: Poems by Anne
Montgomery, RSCJ, highly praised, and Ground Zero Comics: Move Beyond
Nuclear Weapons. Seattle
area residents will be interested especially in the second book, which centers
on the Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, home of the world’s largest concentration of
deployed nuclear weapons just 20 miles away.
And much more! --Dick

Hi
friends,
Friends
of Palestine Northwest Arkansas invites you to a film showing of “Gaza
Fights for Freedom,” directed by Abby Martin.
This Tuesday, December 10, 6-8 p.m. at the Fayetteville Public
Library in the Ziegler Room.
“Gaza Fights for Freedom” elevates Palestinian resistance against the
Israeli occupation by focusing on the Great March of Return, “the
weekly, non-violent demonstrations organized by Gaza civil society, that lasted
for 20 months and resulted in over 200 Palestinian deaths. Many if not most
Americans never thought about or heard about the Gaza Strip prior to October 7,
2023. This film provides important insights into the decades-long struggle of
Gaza Palestinians against occupation and in particular, the blockade Israel
imposed on Gaza in 2007, that turned the Strip into a concentration
camp.”

On April 7, 2022, the UN General Assembly voted to exclude Russia
from the UN Human Rights Council. The resolution received the required
two-thirds majority of those voting, minus abstentions, in the 193-member
Assembly, with 93 nations voting in favor and 24 against.1
The vote was highly politicized and reflected the success
of the Western information war against Russia, which was falsely blamed
for launching an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and for committing the
overwhelming majority of atrocities in the war, including a massacre at Bucha,
a suburb of Kyiv, which independent investigators concluded was
actually carried out by Ukraine.
Alfred de Zayas, a former senior lawyer
with the Office of the UN High Commissioner and Secretary of the UN’s Human
Rights Committee, wrote in his book The Human Rights Industry (Atlanta:
Clarity Press, 2023) that the UN General Assembly’s decision to exclude Russia
“added to the general atmosphere of Russophobia that we have seen over
the last three decades,” and “to the world’s perception of engineered bias in
the UN itself, where the manipulation of States’ votes was enabled by a failure
to call for a secret ballot, as requested by Russia.”2
