World citizenship instead of tribalism

Exit Afghanistan and Enter Not Iran

by Attorney Jonathan Emord

George Bush s unconstitutional decision to go to war in Afghanistan was one of the most profound and costly blunders ever made by an American president. From the start, the rationale was a non-sequitur: go to war against the Taliban because we have been attacked by al-Qaeda with whom the Taliban are sympathetic and provide a safe haven. Why not just surgically obliterate al-Qaeda? The Bush Administration added........

Occupying Democracy: A Moral Revolution for Social Justice

Alan James Strachan Ph.D. and Janet Coster M.A., Truthout: ''There are many philosophical justifications for favoring the wealthy and powerful. The Gospel of Wealth, Social Darwinism, Manifest Destiny, God s Will and ?trickle-down economics' are but a few of the rationales. These rationalizations are a sign of pathological narcissism, i.e., the overvaluing of oneself and the undervaluing of others springing from greed, insecurity, fear and the lust for power. Such philosophies stand in stark contrast to the teachings of many spiritual traditions and the dictates of love, compassion and empathy.''

Re-Occupation and Police Raid of Zuccotti Park Set Tone for Radical Spring

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: ''The brief re-occupation of Zuccotti Park and its swift re-eviction are both previews of the season to come. With numbers augmented by warm weather, St. Patrick s Day?s festive atmosphere and the Left Forum conference ... the protesters who took to Zuccotti Park to celebrate six months of Occupy Wall Street sent out a mass text on Saturday evening, reading 'OccupyNYC: Liberty Square is being RE-OCCUPIED! 500+ people and growing! Come on down! Bring blankets & food!' Occupy Wall Street's message: prepare for a radical spring.''

Police Arrest 73 in Occupy Wall Street Crackdown on Protest Movement s Six-Month Anniversary

Video

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: ''Many people reported excessive use of force by officers; several cases were caught on camera. In one widely reported incident, a young woman suffered a seizure after she was pulled from the crowd and arrested. Witnesses say police initially ignored Cecily McMillan as she flopped about on the sidewalk with her hands zip-tied behind her back, but she was eventually taken away in an ambulance.''

NYC Cops Successfully Enforce Regime of Intimidating Dissidents and Press; Dozens Notice

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: ''The recent unbroken spate of acquittals Occupy Wall Street activists have racked up, not for lack of evidence, but simply for the arbitrary nature of the arrests, begin to give the impression of a pattern of official intimidation of dissidents and journalists, which is, of course, unconstitutional.''
