When the Nazis wrote the Nuremberg laws, they looked to America
"The ugly irony is that when the Nazis rejected American law, it was often because they found it too harsh."
Greenwald: ACLU Attacked for Defending Neo-Nazis’ Free Speech Rights
"For many of those attacking the ACLU here, it is a staple of their worldview that the U.S. is a racist and fascist country and that those who control the government are right-wing authoritarians. There is substantial validity to that view. Why, then, would people who believe that simultaneously want to vest in these same fascism-supporting authorities the power to ban and outlaw ideas they dislike?"
U.S. May Bomb ISIS in the Philippines
"While President Trump has praised Duterte’s approach to combating drug addiction — namely, encouraging vigilantes to extrajudicially murder drug users by the thousands — Tillerson suggested that this policy was not good, but also irrelevant to the question of whether the U.S. should intervene against ISIS on Duterte’s behalf."
How Donald Trump’s travel ban has hit Iran’s tourism renaissance
"For visitors the lure is the culture and history of a sophisticated civilisation, with no fewer than 19 Unesco heritage sites, which had been inaccessible for decades when Iran was shunned as a pariah state. Now the country is also viewed as safe in comparison with other states offering similar attractions in the region – Syria, Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Libya – places which have become no-go areas due to the varying degrees of threats from terrorism or civil war. Mr Trump’s repeated threat to withdraw the US from the nuclear agreement, achieved through years of painstaking negotiations, is creating concern that Iran will be pushed back towards isolation."
Don’t Privatize the Afghan War—Just End It
"The war in Afghanistan has long been an out-of-sight, out-of-mind affair for the American public. To relegate Afghan lives to the mercy of an even less visible force will be to write them off altogether." Continue reading →
U.S. Using Afghanistan as a “Playground for Their Weapons”
"Taliban fighters in Khogyani described how the deaths of family members had caused them to take up arms."
Trump hasn’t drained the swamp – he’s put the military in charge of it
"The military-industrial complex will look more like a military-billionaire complex, with the generals imposing a sense of order if the rich men squabble too publicly, and blocking any Banana Republicanism if they seek to make themselves and their friends ever richer." Continue reading →
Ron Paul: Attack Venezuela? Trump Can’t be Serious!
"The White House is becoming the war house and the president seems to see war as a first solution rather than a last resort. His threats of military action against a Venezuela that neither threatens nor could threaten the United States suggests a shocking lack of judgment." Continue reading →
Constitution prohibits Trump’s pre-emptive strike against N. Korea
"Champions of the warfare state and multi-trillion dollar military-industrial-counterterrorism complex maintain that unimagined technological progress including nuclear tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles require presidential wars to protect the national security. If they have a persuasive case, they should seek a constitutional amendment under Article V that would transfer the war power from Congress to the Oval Office. The amendment would need approval by two-thirds of the House and Senate and three-quarters of state legislatures. I am convinced it would be DOA in Congress. Americans do not want a king."

Russia election interference debunking brings focus back to Seth Rich murder
"Rich’s murder in 2016 has never been solved. He was near his home in Washington early in the morning when he was shot in the back twice. Police described it as a robbery, but neither his watch nor his wallet was taken. He had been working for the Democratic National Committee at a time when emails from the organization were being handed over to WikiLeaks for publication. On Tuesday, lobbyist and lawyer Jack Burkman sent a letter to Mueller, who was appointed to review the allegations against Trump’s campaign in 2016 of collusion with Russia, urging him to expand his work. Rich, Burkman explained, could be the 'missing link.'" Continue reading →
