The New U.S. Maternal Mortality Rate Fails To Capture Many Deaths
Late last month, maternal health experts from around Illinois were videoconferencing in Chicago and Springfield, poring over the files of expectant and new mothers who’d died in the state in 2017. Many of the deaths could have been prevented if only medical and other providers had understood the special risks that women face during this critically vulnerable time.
The Movement To Replace Neoliberalism Has Lost A Battle, But We Can Still Win The War
Now is not the time for despair. Neoliberalism is limping to its death, and it’s up to us to make sure that what comes next isn’t something worse. Get ready for a decade of unprecedented change at an unprecedented pace. Our overlapping and interrelated environmental, justice and democratic crises are going to mature into their next iteration – perhaps in the form of barbarism, maybe ethno-nationalism, or hopefully something more equal and sustainable.
Why US Generals Do Not Oppose The Disastrous Never Ending Wars
There once lived an odd little man -- five feet nine inches tall and barely 140 pounds sopping wet -- who rocked the lecture circuit and the nation itself. For all but a few activist insiders and scholars, U.S. Marine Corps Major General Smedley Darlington Butler is now lost to history. Yet more than a century ago, this strange contradiction of a man would become a national war hero, celebrated in pulp adventure novels, and then... more »
Sanctions In Gaza
Feb. 9 — The hardships in Gaza are well known, but the human implications of the blockade are rarely documented in the Western press. This is because the interests of Israel, the U.S. and other nations supporting these sanctions would not be well served by the truth. Let us be clear, these are Israel’s sanctions imposed as an occupying power, but this form of collective punishment upon an already impoverished civilian population is heavily backed by the U.S... more »
World Rainforest Movement: Dangerous Impacts Of “Zero Deforestation”

Corruption Of Sanctions & Tariffs Ignored By The Media
The news is filled with stories about President Trump and his predecessors imposing sanctions on other countries, their officials, and other prominent persons. But the media rarely spells out exactly what these sanctions are, the intermediaries who enforce them, the impacts they have on innocent civilians – women, men and children – how they are countered or evaded, and whether they fulfill or undermine their diplomatic, military, or economic purposes.

Intelligence Officials Sow Discord By Stoking Fear of Russian Election Meddling
[image: undefined] Another presidential election year is upon us, and the intelligence agencies are hard at work stoking fears of Russian meddling. This time it looks like the Russians do not only like the incumbent president but also favor who appears to be the Democratic front-runner, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. On Thursday, The New York Times ran a story titled, "Lawmakers Are Warned That Russia Is Meddling to Re-elect Trump." The story says that on February 13th US lawmakers from the House were briefed by intelligence officials who warned them, "Russia was interfering in th... more »
Trump’s Betrayal of Julian Assange
[image: undefined] One thing we’ve learned from the Trump Presidency is that the “deep state” is not just some crazy conspiracy theory. For the past three years we’ve seen that deep state launch plot after plot to overturn the election. It all started with former CIA director John Brennan’s phony “Intelligence Assessment” of Russian involvement in the 2016 election. It was claimed that all 17 US intelligence agencies agreed that Putin put Trump in office, but we found out later that the report was cooked up by a handful of Brennan’s hand-picked agents. Donald Trump upset the Washin... more »

U.S.-NATO make grab for Arctic region
US-NATO will hold war games in Norway's Arctic Circle in March, where it will be supporting climate change-induced resource extraction and increasing the military tension with Russia. Russia has the world's largest land border with the Arctic. The RAND Corporation (based in Santa Barbara, California) has come out with a study calling for the break-up (Balkanization) of Russia into smaller countries. This would make it easier for western oil corporations to make deals with these 'new nations' to have access to Arctic resources. Find the study *here*. Of course these moves by ... more »

The Divisions Of The Political Man
In the realm of politics, man is a mythical creature like the unicorn; he does not exist. What exists is an English man, a French man, an Indian man, an American man, a Chinese man, and so on—or a brown man, white man, black man, yellow man, and so on—or a Christian, a Hindu, a Jew, a Moslem, and so on—or a rich man, a poor man, a middle class man and so on. The political man is perpetually divided and politics of mankind is the science of managing the different factions of man.

No, I Don’t Support Anti-BDS Laws
A recent notein the Harvard Law Review inadvertently misrepresented my political views. The Harvard editors have graciously corrected the error in the online version, and appended a statement noting the correction. However, it remains in the print version, for some time the erroneous version was available for download on the web, and of course there’s no telling how widely it has or will spread. Hence this clarification. The Harvard piece, a student note, concerns anti-BDS laws. Those laws, on the books in 28 states, provide that the state will not contract with anyone who refu... more »

It’s no secret that the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps want to buy smaller, cheaper amphibious ships for landing troops and equipment on enemy shores. The new, small amphibs would complement the Navy’s existing force of around three-dozen large vessels, helping the fleet to spread out over a wider area in order to avoid Chinese anti-ship missiles.

Damage Done: Growing Up in a Banking Desert Can Hurt Your Credit
*Tony Cookson* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] It’s lonely out there. *The Big Idea* A banking desert is an area without traditional financial institutions and services.

They are less likely to use traditional credit, such as a credit card or a mortgage. When they do, their ... more »
Do De-Radicalization and Rehabilitation Programs Work?
*Jideofor Adibe* *Security, Africa* Unfortunately, there are few alternatives. The Nigerian government recently announced that it had released about 1,400 Boko Haram suspects. The reason given was they had repented and were to be re-integrated into society. The government said the releases – which happened in three tranches – were part of its four-year old de-radicalisation programme called Operation Safe Corridor. The announcement generated a lot of angst. Opposition leaders attacked the decision, as did soldiers fighting the terrorists. These reactions mask a fundamental chall... more »

Who Is Mistreating Whom?
Now that Teck has withdrawn its application for an oilsands mine in northern Alberta, Jason Kenney will be spitting fire and brimestone, blaming Ottawa for what he sees as a failure.

A Divided America - The Intersection of Religion and Politics
While I have posted on this subject in other postings, I have only recently become aware of another analysis by a nonpartisan, nonprofit research organization that looks at American society at the intersection of research, culture and public policy.
