Operation Blacklist: What MacArthur's Japan Occupation Teaches Us About Counterinsurgency
*Warfare History Network* *History, Asia* Operation Blacklist served as the supreme model to combat continuing resistance from the Japanese following formal surrender. As the months of 1945 passed at an agonizingly slow pace, Allied forces in the Pacific struggled unwaveringly toward Japan. Expectedly, during the summer of 1945, Allied forces led by the United States faced the prospect of invading the Japanese home islands. The overarching plan for the invasion and occupation of Japan was code-named Operation Downfall. Kyushu, the southernmost of the four home islands, would be t... more »

Forty-eight hours later they were well out into the broad Atlantic Ocean, safe from prying British eyes.

X-Zone Broadcast - Robert Sheaffer Discusses Klass and Friedman
I invited Robert Sheaffer back on the program as a response to another radio show in which the host and the guest attacked Philip Klass.

Report, Wednesday, September 23: Julian Assange
On Wednesday the trap sprang shut, as Judge Baraitser insisted the witnesses must finish next week, and that no time would be permitted for preparation of closing arguments, which must be heard the immediate following Monday.

Democratize Justice!
One of the main reasons so many people cite their intention to vote for Biden is because of the recent death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Let’s assume this is a valid reason, I don’t necessarily agree that it is but for argument’s sake we will go with it. This reasoning exposes a much more deep rooted problem in the political system of the US, that is, its anti-popular nature. This political system is so fragile and so anti-popular that theoretically the death of just 1 judge out of 9 could spell disaster for millions of people who are shielded by court rulings in ... more »

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Contribution to Constitutional Equality: From an “Empty Cupboard” to Greater Inclusion
“A prime part of the history of our Constitution . . . is the story of the extension of constitutional rights and protections to people once ignored or excluded.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made this declaration in her majority opinion in *United States v. Virginia* (“*VMI*”) (1996), in which the Court held that Virginia’s exclusion of women from the Virginia Military Institute violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Those words seem an apt place to begin a reflection on her momentous contribution—as a litigator and justice—to constitutional equality. E... more »

However, as research group U.S. Right to […] The post Science Institute Protects Interests of Big Food, Not Public Health, Researchers Say appeared first on Children's Health Defense.

Bill Gates’ Global Agenda and How We Can Resist His War on Life
The pandemic is not a war. The pandemic is a consequence of war. A war against life. The mechanical mind connected to the money machine of extraction has created the illusion of humans as separate from nature, and nature as dead, inert raw material to be exploited. But, in fact, we are part of the biome. And we are part of the virome. The biome and the virome are us. When we wage war on the biodiversity of our forests, our farms, and in our guts, we wage war on ourselves.
War for Humanity SITREP: James Corbett starts calling it the "War for Humanity" The belated awakening of the Sheeple

EU And The U.S. Refuse To Recognise Alexander Lukashenko As Belarus President. Sanctions Are Expected This Friday
Reuters: *Belarus faces imminent sanctions as pressure mounts on Lukashenko* WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The United States, Britain and Canada may impose sanctions on Belarus as early as Friday, four sources told Reuters, and the European Union told President Alexander Lukashenko it did not recognise him as the country’s legitimate leader. Diplomatic pressure on Lukashenko mounted a day after he had himself sworn in for a sixth term at an inauguration ceremony that was kept secret until after it was completed.

What’s The Difference Between ‘Villain’ Assange And ‘Intrepid’ Woodward?
The completely fair super awesome trial of Julian Assange continues in the U.K. as I write this. It’s a beautiful blend of the works of Kafka, Stalin and Joseph Heller. Seeing as Julian is kept in a glass container in the courtroom, like a captured cockroach, maybe Kafka wins the day. The court clearly must keep Julian in that giant Tic-Tac container because he’s undoubtedly as dangerous as Hannibal Lecter. If he weren’t in there, no one would know when he might lurch forward and PUBLISH SOMETHING THAT’S TOTALLY TRUE! What they’re deciding in this trial is whether Assange should ... more »
Solidarity Across Species
We are animals. While human beings often repress this basic fact, the novel coronavirus has revealed our connection to and dependence on the well-being of other creatures. In various ways, our disregard for other species led to and worsened this pandemic. To mount an adequate response—and to prevent future disasters—we need to start taking animals into consideration. Like countless fearsome diseases, including Ebola and AIDS, COVID-19 is zoonotic in origin, meaning it jumped from one species to another (likely from bats to humans). The post Solidarity Across Species appeared firs... more »
A Doctor Smuggles Lifesaving Equipment
He bought it in the United States, shipped it to a friend through Europe and into Lebanon, and found a way to smuggle it by road into Syria. But this was a piece of contraband only made illegal by the United States’ cruel policy of sanctions toward Syria—a critical part needed to fix a broken CT scanner, the sole machine in a city of over 100,000 people in Syria. Last year, Dr. Farid, a Syrian physician based in the United States, opened a large medical and cancer center in Syria. (He asked that neither his real name nor the name of his city be used for safety reasons.) The post ... more »
The US Is Using The Guardian To Justify Jailing Assange For Life
Julian Assange is not on trial simply for his liberty and his life. He is fighting for the right of every journalist to do hard-hitting investigative journalism without fear of arrest and extradition to the United States. Assange faces 175 years in a US super-max prison on the basis of claims by Donald Trump’s administration that his exposure of US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan amounts to “espionage”. The charges against Assange rewrite the meaning of “espionage” in unmistakably dangerous ways. Publishing evidence of state crimes, as Assange’s Wikileaks organisation has done,... more »
What The OAS Did To Bolivia
Bolivia has descended into a nightmare of political repression and racist state violence since the democratically elected government of Evo Morales was overthrown by the military on November 10. That month was “the second-deadliest month, in terms of civilian deaths committed by state forces, since Bolivia became a democracy nearly 40 years ago,” according to a study by Harvard Law School’s (HLS) International Human Rights Clinic and the University Network for Human Rights (UNHR) released a month ago.

The Man Who Inspired A Generation
My encounter with the Al-Araj family began in 2009, the year I met Basil and Shireen and started joining them in demonstrations in Al-Walaja village. On 6 March 2017, Basil was murdered by the Israeli army. He was 31 years old. Others will speak of his martyrdom, I will speak of his life and what he told me. Basil would have wanted it told this way. I learned intimate details about Basil and his family life the third time we were detained together. He was 24 years old, I was twice his age. This was in what Basil accurately described as “a holding pin not fit for animals” which I a... more »
UK Moving Bill To Decriminalize War Crimes
Labour has sacked three junior shadow ministers who joined with Jeremy Corbyn and 14 other Socialist Campaign group MPs in breaking the party’s whip by voting against the second reading of a controversial armed forces bill.

Too many US states are balanced on a fiscal knife-edge
A few days ago, I pointed out that the economic threat to America was far more important than whether a new SCOTUS judge was to be appointed. That applies as much to the fifty states making up our union as it does to the nation as a whole. The latest annual "State of the States" survey bears this out. At the end of the fiscal year (FY) 2019, 39 states did not have enough money to pay all of their bills. This means that to balance the budget—as is required by law in 49 states—elected officials have not included the true costs of the government in their budget calculations and have ... more »

The forthcoming presidential debates: some "subconstitutional" concerns
Forget about Donald J. Trump and Joe Biden, for the moment. Reflect on the quasi-governmental function of the debates, for better and, distinctly, for worse, and the power assumed by the Commission for Presidential Debates in organizing them and appointing moderators, this year Chris Wallace, Steve Scully, and Kristin Welker. Margaret Sullivan in the Washington Post has a fine column chastising Wallace for omitting climate change and global warming from his list of six topics for the first debate on September 29; one of his topics is the Fox News (his employer) favorite, disorder... more »

HBCUs Have A Champion in President Trump
When President Trump says he saved Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) he is 100% correct because he did. He could have cut their funding in his budget, signaled to Republicans they were not a priority, vetoed all bills increasing funding, and refused to publicly tout value, but he didn’t. During this year’s observance of HBCU Week, the record shows that there has been no greater champion for HBCUs in the White House than Donald J. Trump.

The Middle East’s New Map
*Robert D.

While that robs the event of some drama, it also increases its significance. It means that the process of ending the era of Arab-Israeli confrontation will continue, culminating perhaps in a political upheaval in Iran. That is the road that the Middle East may now be on. The imminent establishment of diplomatic relations... more »
