Hear from Beirut by survivors of the blast, member of parliament Paula Yacoubian, director of Human Rights Watch's MENA office Lama Fakih, and filmmaker Daizy Gedeon.

41] – Ken Jones [info@email.actionnetwork.org] wants you to attend a War Industry Resistance Network webinar on Thurs., Aug. 3 at 8 PM ET -- The US State Department as a Tool of Empire. Hear from Ann Wright and Matthew Hoh. Register here: https://masspeaceaction.org/event/the-us-state-department-as-a-tool-of-empire-a-war-industry-resisters-network-webinar/.
The official mission of the US State Department is: “To protect and promote U.S. security, prosperity, and democratic values and shape an international environment in which all Americans can thrive.” No word about diplomacy, but rather a tone of chauvinistic militancy. How does the State Department accompany the war industry in the US drive for global dominance? This webinar will address how an agency tasked with fostering diplomatic relations has become an aggressive force for maintaining a unipolar world, promoting fear and hatred towards Russia, China, and other countries that do not comply with the so-called “rules-based order” imposed by the US.
To be continued.
