MLK on Violence, Home or Abroad

Martin Luther King:

As I have walked among the desperate, rejected, and angry young men, I have told them that Molotov cocktails and rifles would not solve their problems. I have tried to offer them my deepest compassion while maintaining my conviction that social change comes most meaningfully through nonviolent action. But they ask — and rightly so — what about Vietnam? They ask if our own nation wasn’t using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today — my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.

"Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence," given at Riverside Church in New York City on April 4, 1967.

The Little Sailboat that Destroyed the Nord Stream Pipeline

1. Joe Biden promises he will make Nord Stream pipeline inoperable. Someone then destroys the pipeline. Biden then denies that he had anything to do with this act of war. 2. Next, Seymour Hersh publishes detailed investigative article showing how the U.S. destroyed the pipeline. 3. Germany, co-owner of the pipeline, displays what has got to be the most vivid case of Stockholm Syndrome in human history. 4. U.S. news media ignores the Hersh story. 5. The CIA cooks up an absurd alternative story that not-Joe-Biden destroyed the pipeline. The pipeline was destroyed using "Pro-Ukrainian" group that uses a 49 foot sailboat. 6. The NYT, which has now begrudgingly acknowledged Hersh's blockbuster story, laps up the CIA story. 7. Seymour Hersh destroys the NYT-CIA story with a handful of simple questions.

Excerpt from Hersh's newest story, "THE NORD STREAM GHOST SHIP: The false details in the CIA's cover story":

My initial report received coverage around the world but was ignored by the major newspapers and television networks in the United States. As the story gained traction in Europe and elsewhere abroad, the New York Times on March 7 published a report quoting US officials asserting that American intelligence had accumulated information suggesting that a pro-Ukrainian group sabotaged the pipelines. The story said officials who had “reviewed” the new intelligence depicted it to be “a step toward determining responsibility” for the pipeline sabotage. The Times story got worldwide attention, but nothing more has been heard since from the newspaper about who did what. In an interview for a Times podcast, one of the three authors of the article inadvertently explained why the story was dead on arrival. The writer was asked about the involvement of the alleged pro-Ukrainian group: “What makes you think that’s what happened?” He answered: “I should be very clear that we know really very little. Right?”

Key U.S. Officials Advocating for War in Ukraine are the Same U.S. Officials who were Responsible for the Iraq Debacle

Joe Biden bears heavy responsibility for the lies leading up to the Iraq war, as well as the needless deaths. His enthusiasm for war led to our willingness to go to war in Ukraines.

Same thing for many other neocons who are responsible for pushing us to the brink of nuclear war in Ukraine. They were also responsible for the tragic Iraq war. These are people currently on Biden's team. This includes Victoria Nuland and Anthony Blinken. And see here.

Many of the same media stars who pushed the Iraq invasion also pushed the U.S. to get involved in Ukraine. This includes David Frum and Nicolle Wallace and Matthew Dowd and Bill Kristol and Max Boot.

Medea Benjamin Drops a Truth Bomb During an Anthony Blinken Speech

Get this "crazy" woman out of here so that Anthony Blinken and his pals can figure out how to bring us even closer to the brink of nuclear war. Territorial disputes over the Donbas region so clearly affect ordinary Americans that we must roll the dice and risk EVERYTHING.

In this video, Medea Benjamin explains further:
