We Have an Immediate Emergency on Funding

This is the second straight month of record low fundraising numbers and our resources are becoming increasingly strained.

We need everyone to help out with what they can afford.

Quite serious now.

Please read and seriously consider the horrifying implications.


EXCERPT:

Abetted by the Clintonites, they’ve done a wonderful job throwing America into chaos with probes into Russia’s alleged hacking of our election and Trump being their proxy candidate (now clearly disproved by his bombing attack) -- and sadly, worst of all in some ways, admitting no memory of the same false flag incident in 2013, for which again Assad was blamed (see Seymour Hersh’s fascinating deconstruction of this US propaganda, ‘London Review of Books’ December 19, 2013, “Whose sarin?”). No memory, no history, no rules -- or rather ‘American rules.’

No, this isn’t an accident or a one-off affair. This is the State deliberately misinforming the public through its corporate media and leads us to believe, as Mike Whitney points out in his brilliant analyses, “Will Washington Risk WW3” and “Syria: Where the Rubber Meets the Road,” that something far more sinister waits in the background. Mike Whitney, Robert Parry, and former intelligence officer Phil Giraldi all comment below. It’s well worth 30 minutes of your time to read.

FOCUS: Oliver Stone | Trump Has Taken the Handcuffs off Our War Machine

Oliver Stone, Oliver Stone's Facebook Page
Stone writes: "I confess I really had hopes for some conscience from Trump about America's wars, but I was wrong - fooled again! - as I had been by the early Reagan, and less so by Bush 43."

Diplomacy FIRST!

Let's unite with Veterans and WAGE PEACE! 

PLEASE speak out for DIPLOMACY FIRST!








Since I wrote last week, over 25,000 veterans, military family members, and VoteVets supporters signed our petition calling on the Senate to vote down the Menendez-Kirk legislation designed to derail diplomatic efforts with Iran.

Good news: Thanks to grassroots pressure and a veto threat from President Obama, the bill looks destined for defeat.

What's more, a diplomacy-first alternative has surfaced -- legislation that will help deliver the final nail in the coffin for hard-liners in Iran, and here at home.

Use our "Contact Congress" tool to tell your Senators you support legislation introduced by Senators Dianne Feinstein and Chris Murphy that will keep Iran at the negotiating table and give diplomacy a real chance to succeed.

There's no doubt, trading diplomacy for airstrikes will only delay, and assure, the arrival of an Iranian nuclear program. The only military way to stop Iranian nuclear ambitions is a full-scale ground invasion and subsequent regime change.

That's a mission that would make the Iraq and Afghan wars look like a cakewalk.

And if Iran leaves the negotiating table or begins to operate in bad faith, then the Senate should reconsider instituting lapsed sanctions and passing new ones -- that option is available.

But until then, diplomacy is our best chance of separating Iran from any nuclear ambitions.

Tell your Senators to support the Feinstein-Murphy legislation that puts diplomacy first. You can do that here:

We have an important voice in this debate.

Use it.

RSN: When the War Comes Home

When the Chicken Hawks argue for MORE WAR, they ignore the very real human cost because they've never fought.

We failed to learn the lessons from Vietnam and continue to repeat them...TRAGIC!

FOCUS: Scott Galindez | When the War Comes Home

Scott Galindez, Reader Supported News
Galindez writes: "Training prepares young men and women for the physical and psychological needs of a soldier. Then those who actually go into combat, especially in elite units, are further programmed to kill or be killed. What happens when they come home? For many, the adjustment is difficult. PTSD and other disorders scar them for life."
