**I’ll be speaking on this urgent situation at the National Press Club in DC today, calling for cessation to the escalations which are now directly impacting America’s national security. Tune in at 5pm ET and watch the livestream on YouTube @DKucinich**

Has the world forgotten the real danger of nuclear war?

Do we live in a fantasy world where we think we can escalate tensions and put entire portions of the world under threat by using Ukraine as a sacrificial pawn (in what is classically sold as providing humanitarian and ally support) in a decades-long psychopathic foreign policy play to destroy Russia?

Caveat:  The Free Press believes that the election results are in doubt due to the statistical analysis and evidence presented by computer and election security expert Stephan Spoonamore, which can be found in its entirety on substak.  https://substack.com/@spoonamore

A photo popped up on the internet last week which was a bit surprising even for those of us who have been overly obsessed with the seemingly aimless and highly dangerous comedy routine that describes itself as the United States of America’s Foreign Policy. The US has confronted no real security threats since the Cold War ended but has done so many things that were against its own interests that it now finds itself seconds away from nuclear immolation as registered on the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock.

The easiest thing we can do is to give up. I know for many of you, what we face now seems insurmountable. So I want to share with you something GOOD that happened this week, before I get to the Bad and the Ugly.

THE GOOD 

In 1968, Shirley Chisholm became the first Black Woman elected to the United States Congress, representing Bed-Stuy in Brooklyn, New York. I’m sure she felt like giving up many times, too. But in 1972, she did just the opposite — she ran for President of the United States of America, the first Black Woman Presidential candidate for a major political party in this nation’s deeply racist and sexist history. 

The ongoing war and genocide in Gaza is unprecedented. Nothing that Israel and its supporters can say or do will avoid the historical accountability of the extermination of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. 

 The above assertion is critical, both for ending the Israeli occupation of Palestine and achieving Palestinian freedom. This is why. 

 In all past wars and adjoining war crimes, Israel managed to push the reset button in its relationship with occupied Palestinians.
