– Check out a new book as Alan Barysh
Debunks Conspiracy Theories. Hot on the
heels of the tragic events of September 11th, 2001 a plethora of bogus
"theories" or conspiracy theories flooded cyberspace as well as the
conservative/populist/fascist media. Among one of the proponents of the theory
that what happened on this day was Alex Jones, an extreme right-wing talk show
radio host, the reactionary cultural nationalist Minister Louis Farrakhan, and
Baltimore peace activist Richard Ochs.
After getting a flyer by Ochs, Barysh wondered why he would side with a
long-debunked talk show host and a man who thinks white people were created by
some "evil scientist." Other red flags went off when Mr. Barysh read
three statements and noticed they were almost word for word statements.

77] – The Trump Administration is again beating the war drums. Most recently, the target is Iran. Should the Trump administration initiate an act of war against Iran, consider joining us. It is a violation of U.S. law for the Trump Administration to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only Congress can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the war drums for war against Iran and Venezuela. Should a war criminal, John Bolton, convince Trump to attack either of these countries, such a military strike would demand an immediate and unequivocal response from us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of power.

With momentum already building in favor of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“One is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
