An observation from George Orwell -- “those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future” -- is acutely relevant to how President Biden talked about Gaza during his speech at the Democratic convention Monday night. His words fit into a messaging template now in its eleventh month, depicting the U.S. government as tirelessly seeking peace, while supplying the weapons and bombs that have enabled Israel’s continual slaughter of civilians.

The story of nuclear weapons begins in the United States. The U.S. government
under the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the greenlight for the project to
build a bomb to commence, the first atomic bombs were then created and tested,
and, under dubious assumptions, the bombs were subsequently used to blow up
two Japanese cities, causing massive destruction, death, and lasting radiation
illnesses. The testing and development of nuclear bombs continued, as did the
costs to people and the environment. Sadly, the U.S. and other nuclear-armed
countries are now in the process of “modernizing” their nuclear arsenals. This is
despite the fact that the majority of countries in the U.N. General Assembly have
voted to ban nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, the U.S. unfortunately maintains a
“first use” policy with respect to nuclear weapons and Trump will have the power
to launch nuclear weapons if he becomes president.

In 2020, we busted the new scheme by the MAGA-nauts with the conspiracy group True the Vote who had 88 vigilante vote challengers in Georgia. But now, True the Vote has gone national, recruiting a total of 40,000 self-appointed “fraudulent” vote hunters. As of August 2, they have already challenged 851,000 voters—suspiciously, mostly voters of color and young voters.

It’s a plan which was first launched—I kid you not—by the Ku Klux Klan in 1946. To cover its mass challenge scheme, the KKK incorporated itself as Vigilantes, Inc.

And we need your help and support to warn America and stop them.

While many are earnestly pointing at the devastation of war, the rampant human rights violations and the deliberate relegation of international and humanitarian law, there are those who see war from an entirely different perspective: profits.

 For the merchants of war, the collective pain and misery of whole nations is dwarfed by the lucrative deals of billions of dollars generated from weapons sales. 

 The great irony is that some of the loudest advocates of human rights are, in fact, the ones who are facilitating the global arms trade. Without it, human rights would not be violated with such impunity. 

One thing you can say about the Administration of President Joe Biden is that nearly every week there is something new and exciting to discuss. Galloping dementia recently gifted us with Joe’s 11 minute abdication speech in which he announced that he would not be running for another term as president. He babbled about how he was taking the step in spite of his desire to continue.
