Remarks at the Sixth International Conference for World Balance in Havana, Cuba, Jan. 30, 2025
Before I start I want to express sympathy for the people who have died in a plane crash in Washington, and I want to condemn Trump’s disgusting proposal to kidnap people and lock them up in Guantanamo.
I’m very happy to be in Cuba. I feel closer to Cuba than I do to people in the United States with red hats reading MAGA. Cuba is,

VIDEO: Global Day of Action to Close Bases Planned for Feb 23
What’s wrong with military bases and what can be done about them?
The Earth is coated in military bases, spreading like a pandemic, foriegn ones, domestic ones, famous ones, secret ones, part of a growing and disastrous global increase in spending on wars and preparations for wars that makes wars more, not less, likely. And prime targets in wars are bases and anything near them.
Bases are many of the worst environmental disaster sites, polluting air, soil, and water, and generating horrific

A reconstruction of Anne Frank’s hiding place is touring the world and the pages of the New York Times. Feelings of self-righteousness and support for military spending and NATO cheerleading are forecast to reach record temperatures.
Great peace-loving American Dick Cheney’s and brave progressive heroine Liz Cheney’s 2015 book, Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America, is one of countless accounts of U.S. superiority that finds the historical and moral greatness

The Nazi Salute Has U.S. Origins
An imperial presidency, a cult of idiocracy, and a team of hateful oligarchs is the problem.
A salute is just a symbol.
If you do a web search for images of “Bellamy salute” you find countless black-and-white photographs of U.S. children and adults with their right arms raised stiffly out in front of them in what will strike most people as a Nazi salute.

Another World Is Already Here
By David Swanson, Progressive Hub, January 21, 2025
I hope everyone in the world reads the new book Another World Is Possible: Lessons for America from Around the Globe by Natasha Hakimi Zapata. I think the lessons could be for anywhere on Earth. They are stories of what is possible for the United States (or in some cases a single state thereof) or most anywhere else.

War Decides Elections
You would never know it from U.S. corporate media, but there is an interesting poll on one of the things Kamala Harris could have done to win the 2024 presidential election. The poll has dramatic, news-worthy findings. It was done by a polling company very frequently reported on by corporate media (YouGov).
