Ending Regime Change – in Bolivia and the World

Ending Regime Change – in Bolivia and the World

Medea Benjamin and Nicholas J.S. Davies

( Code Pink) – Less than a year after the United States and the U.S.-backed Organization of American States (OAS) supported a violent military coup to overthrow the government of Bolivia, the Bolivian people have reelected the Movement for Socialism (MAS) and restored it to power. In the long history of U.S.-backed “regime changes” in […]

Two years after Khashoggi’s murder, why is Trump’s America still an accomplice to MBS’s crimes?

Medea Benjamin and Nicholas J.S. Davies

( Code Pink) – Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered on October 2, 2018 by agents of Saudi Arabia’s despotic government, and the CIA concluded they killed him on direct orders from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).

Trump’s Cold War China Policy is Isolating the U.S., Not China

Medea Benjamin and Nicholas J.S. Davies

( Codepink) – Tensions between the United States and China are rising as the U.S. election nears, with tit-for-tat consulate closures, new U.S. sanctions and no less than three U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups prowling the seas around China.

Trump and state governors eventually deployed at least 17,000 National Guard troops across the country.

In Pandemic, Trump Must Choose Between a Global Ceasefire and America’s Long Lost Wars

In Pandemic, Trump Must Choose Between a Global Ceasefire and America’s Long Lost Wars

Medea Benjamin and Nicholas J.S. Davies

As President Trump has complained, the U.S. does not win wars anymore. In fact, since 1945, the only 4 wars it has won were over the small neocolonial outposts of Grenada, Panama, Kuwait and Kosovo. Americans across the political spectrum refer to the wars the U.S. has launched since 2001 as “endless” or “unwinnable” wars. […]

Will the Corruption of Trump’s America End on a Ventilator or in a Mushroom Cloud

Will the Corruption of Trump’s America End on a Ventilator or in a Mushroom Cloud

Medea Benjamin and Nicholas J.S. Davies

Little by little, Americans are understanding just how badly our government has let us down by its belated and disastrous response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and how thousands more people are dying as a result. But there are two other crises we face that our government is totally unprepared for and incapable of dealing with: […]

US is Closed for Non-Essential Industries: Shouldn’t Trump’s Wars be Halted, Too?

US is Closed for Non-Essential Industries: Shouldn’t Trump’s Wars be Halted, Too?

Medea Benjamin and Nicholas J.S. Davies

( Pressenza ) – At least 70 countries have signed on to the March 23 call by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres for a worldwide ceasefire during the Covid-19 pandemic. Like non-essential business and spectator sports, war is a luxury that the Secretary General says we must manage without for a while. After U.S. leaders […]
