The USA has been an imminent threat to almost everyone since the Second World War. And is has used force to realize the threat many, many times!

Sadly all too true. The role of cash in the American political system is totally unchecked. The more money you have, the more political power you have! And many extremely wealthy people are taking advantage to make sure that their wealth is protected and grows unchecked!

We wrote this report with the OTB in mind, but it equally helps explain the Govnt's refusal to condemn the illegal US-Israel bombing of Iran.

'Irelandโ€™s economic dependency on the US ensures that the US holds a de facto veto over Irish foreign policy.'

Tell Carney: Oppose Illegal Attacks on Iran

As Trump and Netanyahu drag the region into war, Canada is shamefully cheering them on. Join us in emailing Prime Minister Carney and Foreign Minister Anand to demand that they retract their support for illegal US-Israeli attacks on Iran and impose sanctions on Israel. share.nwmd.social/s/mCrYDOfQ

Why is Carney not sending oil to Cuba? Canada used to have an independent foreign policy. Under Carney, not so much!

Lies, distortions, and propaganda: how the U.S. mainstream media coverage on Iran hides the truth Even those familiar with the biased U.S. mainstream coverage of the Middle East are shocked at how bad the reporting on the U.S.-Israel war on Iran has been.

A notorious RCMP unit shaped B.C. universitiesโ€™ reaction to Palestine encampments โ‹† The Breach From Fairy Creek to university campuses, CRU-BC is positioning itself as the go-to police force for repressing dissent

At B.C.โ€™s universities, a violent RCMP unit showed up to spy on student Palestine protests.

A Breach investigation reveals how the CRU was shaping the encampment response, as the militarized unit grows itself into Canadaโ€™s go-to force to repress dissent. breachmedia.ca/a-notorious-...

Anyone else having flashbacks to the Iraq War when we were (correctly) convinced there was no legal basis for invasion & a million of us marched through the streets of London to protest?

Whoโ€™d a thunk quarter of a century later theyโ€™d have a President who makes Dubya look like Neville Chamberlain?

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesโ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Ch7 News: "The war on Iran appears to be expanding across the Middle East with explosions taking place in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the Lebanese capital." Who wrote this?!

Why not:
Israel has illegally bombed Iran, with the support of the USA. Israel has now bombed Lebanon. #IsraeliTerrorism

Polish doctors jailed for denying woman abortion | Euractiv Poland's centrist ruling coalition promised to reverse the most restrictive elements of Poland's abortion laws before their election in 2023

Good news, we guess. But the largest abortion provider in Poland is still Abortion Without Borders.
โ€œIza was not the first or last woman in Poland to die for lack of a safe abortion. I hope there are no more,โ€ Mara Clarke of @supportabort.bsky.social told AFP.

Imteresting that politicians or their partners are being investigated and even arrested because of alleged spying links to Russia and China. And yet Israel has actively corrupted more politicians paying bribes to them pretty much openly to do their bidding amd yet thats allowed.

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ is in many ways already a non-voting ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Today the House votes on the War Powers Resolution. I will vote YES to limit U.S. military involvement in Iran.

My thoughts are with the families of the 6 American service members killed in Donald Trumpโ€™s war of choice.

Congressโ€”not the Presidentโ€”decides when America goes to war.

Globe editorial: The Liberals have muzzled the federal fiscal watchdog After 18 years, the Parliamentary Budget Officer is without a voice, until the government gets around to naming a permanent successor

Not a good thing. Carney has to pay a lot more attention to transparency and accountability. A country is more than a bank and political leadership is much more than simply administration!
