Norman Solomon and David Barsamian, Living in a Warfare State
May 30, 2023
[Note for TomDispatch Readers: Let me make a little post-Memorial Day plea. Today, Norman Solomon takes up a subject that's long been at the heart of TD -- how this country mishandled its never-ending urge to make war in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. I hope it will remind all of you why having a site like TomDispatch matters in a world where so much goes unsaid (amid so much noise). If you agree, I also hope you'll consider visiting our donation page and contributing something to keep TD alive and kicking. Many thanks in advance! Tom]
The invaluable Costs of War Project has long reported that close to a million people, including Americans, died in the major zones of conflict in this country's post-9/11 war on terror. It's worth stopping a moment to take that figure in. Almost a million deaths -- and mind you, that's in a war (or actually a series of conflicts) that, despite what you might hear in this country, is not over. From Syria to Somalia, Americans are still pursuing it.
Only recently, however, the Costs of War Project's Stephanie Savell released a new study suggesting that there may have been another 3.6 to 3.7 million indirect deaths that can be attributed to the conditions created by those conflicts. So, in total, we may be talking about almost five million dead people from the American war that began as a response to al-Qaeda's devastating air assaults on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Consider that the definition of a genuine hell on earth.
And yet, as Norman Solomon has made clear in the very title of his remarkable new book, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine, remarkably few Americans have any sense of just how devastating (not to say unsuccessful) that now more than two-decade-old war on terror has been, or how many more civilians this country has killed than al-Qaeda ever could have. Had the media here dealt with that toll the way it is now -- all too correctly -- dealing with the civilian toll the Russians are inflicting in Ukraine, we might be on a different planet, but no such luck.
Of Solomon's book, Daniel Ellsberg has said: "No one is better at exposing the dynamics of media and politics that keep starting and continuing wars. War Made Invisible will provide the fresh and profound clarity that our country desperately needs.” Indeed, it couldn't be more important to make America's disastrous wars of this century more visible and, with that in mind, consider the following interview the superb David Barsamian of Alternative Radio has just conducted with Solomon on what we Americans should have seen and why so many of us didn't.

The Death Penalty for Homelessness - CounterPunch.org
The Death Penalty for Homelessness - CounterPunch.org: Over 815 homeless people have died in public places in New York since 2022, most recently and notably Jordan Neely, whose obstreperous destitution offended a fellow subway rider, Daniel Penny, who strangled Neely to death. Penny is white, Neely was Black, though ex-marine Penny claimed May 20 that he is not a white supremacist. The media and mayor Adams downplayed the viciousness of this crime, because, according to Adams, “there were serious mental health issues in play here.” What else would you expect from a former cop? When called to assist people cracking up, police routinely shoot and kill them. Adams unwittingly implies that the Nazi response to schizophrenics is acceptable: murder them.

Ukraine attacks in Russia should be an alarm bell for Washington - Responsible Statecraft
Ukraine attacks in Russia should be an alarm bell for Washington - Responsible Statecraft
From Anatol Lieven on Thursday: Having been invaded by Russia, Ukraine of course has a perfect legal and moral right to hit back at Russian territory. Whether this is in the interests of the United States is a very different matter — and given the critical American role in arming and supporting Ukraine, the U.S. administration also has the right to a say in how its aid is used. Indeed, it has not just a right, but a duty to the American people to exercise this influence.
On whether Zelensky is telling the truth:
Assuming that there has been no shift in US policy, the Belgorod raid could therefore be an indication of the degree to which Kyiv now feels able to ignore U.S. wishes while continuing to receive huge amounts of U.S. assistance. As so often in the past, U.S. aid backed by domestic American political forces, far from strengthening U.S. influence over the recipient government, would in fact be making American policy dependent on that of its client.

Two American billionaires and their shady deals with Israeli intelligence
Two American billionaires and their shady deals with Israeli intelligence
Guest comment by Todd Pierce
"There’s an opportunity here for DeSantis to take a stand that would potentially send ripples through the Twitter audience, even if it isn’t something that will be front of mind for many voters: commit that as president, he would release any and all information about Epstein — not just the client list, but what the government knows about his connections and relationships with the powerful. Taking such a stand would do more than just ruffle feathers — it would demonstrate how much DeSantis is an outsider committed to draining the swamp, and not someone beholden to the jet-set elites. Americans deserve to know the truth.”
The same old s*** Conservatives claimed for Trump: that he was “draining the swamp.” Which in “their" language, means “filling the swamp with trillions of dollars,” with even more wealth expropriated from us “lower classes,” for the sole benefit of the Trumpian Oligarchs, like Thiel, Erik Prince, and the MIC they profit so much from. Drain the Swamp, hell! Before these war fanatics are done, the MIC and its Oligarchs will have every penny of “wealth” in this country, to the detriment of us “normal people!”
And the “Conservatives” who peddle this s*** are entirely to blame with their outright lies in enabling this political fraud!
Given Epstein was indisputably part of Israeli Intelligence, as Board member of Carbyne Corporation, “sitting next” to "National Conservative” and DeSantis ally/backer Peter Thiel, how insane is it to believe the extreme Likudnik/National Conservative DeSantis would do anything to bring "discredit” on Israeli, or US, Intelligence operations? No evidence that he would here:
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/18/business/jeffrey-epstein-peter-thiel.html
"Mr. Thiel was also the chairman of Palantir, the C.I.A.-backed data analytics company, which at the time was seeking outside investments.
"Two years later, Mr. Thiel was the most prominent Silicon Valley investor to back the successful presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump.”
What Conservatives and the New Right of The American Conservative magazine and (sometimes) QI call “draining the swamp!” 🤣
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/21/crypto-bros-ufos-nfts-thiel-527536
"More than that, the episode illustrated how central a player Thiel is in the campaigns of Masters and Ohio Republican J.D. Vance, another Thiel ally running for Senate.” As
So who will Peter Thiel support in 2024 for POTUS?

Karen Greenberg, Crimes Against Humanity, American-Style
May 25, 2023
[Note for TomDispatch Readers: TD will, as always, be taking the Memorial Day weekend off and will return next Tuesday. In the meantime, just a small reminder that, if you want to keep following the world according to TomDispatch and you can afford it, I hope you'll consider visiting our donation page and contributing something to keep this site afloat. (A series of striking books, signed and personalized, are always available for anyone who donates $125 or, if you live outside the U.S., $150.) I hate to regularly bother you this way, but the truth is that you're all that stands between TD and The End. Tom]
In January 2005, I began my introduction to the first piece Karen Greenberg ever wrote for TomDispatch this way: "Pick a week, any week, and you can now be guaranteed that yet more gruesome news will seep out about the global torture regime the Bush administration has set up around the world." And I described the prison President George W. Bush and crew had established at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, for those it captured in what was then called the Global War on Terror as "our Bermuda Triangle of injustice." I added that "the paper trail already made public on torture, abuse, and other crimes against humanity is unprecedented." The Torture Papers: The Road to Abu Ghraib, a groundbreaking book by Greenberg and Joshua Dratel (who co-authored that 2005 dispatch), was, in fact, just about to be published.
In that long-ago piece, Greenberg and Dratel posed 37 -- yes, 37! -- questions to then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on the Bush administration's torture policies, starting with "Does torture work?" More than 18 years later, we certainly know two things, as reflected in Greenberg's latest TD post: first, torture most distinctly does not work; and second, despite all the efforts of Greenberg (including her 2010 book, The Least Worst Place: Guantanamo's First 100 Days), Dratel, and others like them, the horrific American record of torture at CIA "black sites" across the planet and at Guantánamo Bay has yet to be fully revealed. Today, TomDispatch regular Greenberg puts her years of devotion to uncovering the nightmare that has long inhabited the very heart of this country's disastrous war on terror in context and considers when, if ever, we'll truly know the full story of the horrific global torture regime the American government established in these years.
In a world in which the Supreme Court ruled (in a split decision) in 2022 that a detainee at Guantánamo could not obtain information from two former CIA contractors involved in torturing him at a black site in Poland for fear of revealing state secrets, all too sadly, a story still remains to be told.

Guest Post by Todd Pierce
Prescript: later today, when it finishes uploading, I should have an oral history interview with Col Larry Wilkerson posted on my Project for the Study of American Militarism YouTube page in which he discusses the war preparations against Iraq before 9/11, under Cheney/Rumsfeld, et al.
But to the article below:
Who can disagree with the good old Hoover Institution, home of incessant war incitement against Russia, China, Iran, . . . .
"Jacquelyn Schneider, who leads the wargaming and crisis initiative at the right-leaning Hoover Institution, stressed the difficulty of conducting campaign war games like the committee did with Taiwan, as they don’t account for classified capabilities.
“The biggest difficulty in campaign war games, and where campaign war games did not reveal what happened between Ukraine and Russia, is it’s very difficult to model public will and that really does affect how wars transpire,” Schneider told Defense News.
>
> "She noted the outcomes highlighted issues like munitions shortages that the military and defense policy analysts are already aware of. Nonetheless, Schneider called them “an incredibly evocative experience,” adding that “if you want to convince people who have never really thought about this problem that there’s significant difficulties awaiting if you don’t preposition munitions there, then war games are extremely compelling.”
I know something about what it means for the US to "preposition munitions.” The high-level officers of the 321st Theatre Area Materiel Management Center that I was assigned to for Gulf War I as their sole “DAS3 Computer Repairman,” which was the computer system which maintained all the Army ammo stockages in the War Theatre, knew before we left Baton Rouge in August 1990 that the DAS3 Computer had already been permanently reassigned to Saudi Arabia and would not be coming back to the US. In fact, much of the unit was not intended to return to the US for at least two years as plans were already in effect to use GW I as pretext for a permanent stationing of the US military in the heart of the Mideast. So we were part of Operations Desert Storm, Desert Shield, and whatever they called the aftermath which immediately commenced with the 321st establishing Logistic Bases in Kuwait, and expanding those already established in Saudi Arabia (to UBL’s chagrin, leading to the al Qaeda bombing of Khobar Towers, which we tried to pin on Iran, I recall). To keep this short, months after the “War” had ended, and we were one of the few remaining units in Saudia Arabia, with our members hounding Congress to get us home, the unit left a detachment behind, returned to Baton Rouge, and carried on the "Mission” by satellite from their. My computer remained in SA as munitions were continuously added to as prepositioned. Fortunately, a replacement for me found out unit as he wanted to stay in SA for another year, with a total of two years for the detachment we left behind, and then rotated people through that continuously as a permanently assigned unit in SA.
So when 9/11 came along, we were already “leaning forward” for a War of Aggression against Iraq, and at least 6 other countries as has been divulged by Wesley Clark and others, with almost everything we needed for that already “in Theatre.” Which became a totally reliable indicator of where the US intended to “wage aggressive war.” Like with our prepositioned munitions in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, and other countries near the Russian border. Which, unless Russia didn’t have an intelligence service to analyze what it means when the US prepositions munitions near a border, would lead to the conclusion that Russia was on our “target list.” With Trump having accelerated that “buildup” far beyond what was there previously, leading to Poland’s proposal to name our main Logistics Base there, Camp Trump!
I suspect China will quickly understand what the China War Hawks of the House Republicans who set this Committee up as a condition for supporting McCarthy, with their right-wing, Goldwater/Scoop Jackson Conservative inspired, Democratic Party counterparts in tow, intended with this Committee. Which is not only to incite war on China, but to accelerate preparations for it. As Trump had already begun, in obvious preparations for a “Fire and Fury Campaign” he so favored with his massive War Buildup/Initiation Program, against all of Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba, at varying stages of preparation when he left office. Which Biden followed up on, as part of the aforementioned “faction” in the Democrats.
What the Church really teaches about evolution
The universe
is charged with grandeur.
Everything speaks of beauty,
power, and purpose—of design.
The elegant relationships
of the laws of physics . . .
The stunning properties
that permit life . . .
And the interdependence
of the biosphere all reveal . . .
The hand of a designer.
Top Catholic thinkers prove
in this book that both science and reason
affirm the words of the great Catholic
poet Gerard Manley Hopkins:
“The world is charged
with the grandeur of God.”
God's Grandeur clears up
common misconceptions regarding
intelligent design . . .
And presents convincing scientific
evidence of intelligent design in
cosmology, the origin of life,
and biology.
You'll learn why the origin
of life on earth was a pure
thermodynamic miracle . . .
How the fossils indicate very large
jumps for which there is not enough
time for gradual evolution . . .
And how mathematics,
literature, science, and philosophy
all create a "symphonic order"
to the universe.
You will also learn:
What the Church really teaches about evolution
Why God would create magnificent life forms only to let them go extinct.
Why materialistic scientists resist the Big Bang Theory
How to understand the biblical account of Creation
How natural law and transcendental beauty point to the existence of God
Specific scriptures from the Old and New Testaments that testify to the wonder of God’s creative hand
Why Pope Benedict XVI cautioned that vague explanations about creation are insufficient
Moreover, you will learn how
modern neuroscience confirms the
understanding of ancient philosophers
that man was created as both a
material and spiritual being.

Praise for God's Grandeur:
“God’s Grandeur stimulates us all to investigate current scientific knowledge with the question of how a loving God made His most beloved children. Since we are not an accident, then how we came to be is a most important question of our times.”
Sam Brownback
Former U.S. Senator and U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom
“This book should be read by every teacher in Catholic schools. These essays will contribute greatly to confirming in people’s minds that there is a Creator God who can be known by the intelligibility of what we encounter in the order of nature.”
John M. Haas, Ph.D., S.T.L., M.Div.
Professor of Moral Theology, St. Charles Borromeo
“A most welcome gift to all of us who have been searching for a long time for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to this fascinating and important subject.”
Robert Stackpole, S.T.D.
Director, John Paul II Institute of Divine Mercy
“God’s Grandeur shows up the lack of empirical evidence for Darwinism and specifically makes clear to Catholics what are the philosophical and theological consequences of kowtowing to it. I hope that many will read it.”
Fr. Martin Hilbert, C.O., M.A.Sc., Ph.D.
St. Philip’s Seminary
More on Catholicism
and Science
The taste of fresh berries.
The quiet cadence of waves
lapping a lakeshore.
The song of an owl in the night,
the glory of a sunset.
So many details manifest the
reality that Earth is not merely the
place where we are, but that it is truly
our home and is meant to be our home.
Most modern scientists dismiss
this notion as romantic nonsense,
arguing instead that Earth and, indeed,
the entire universe is actually a cosmic
accident, the mystifying result of billions
of years of random events.
Here in this work of basic science
written for nonspecialists, scientist
Gerard Verschuuren confronts those
men and women on their own territory
force for force, atom for atom, cell for
cell, and even planet for planet.
With clear, well-documented
explanations, he shows that the latest
findings of modern cosmology, physics,
chemistry, geology, and other sciences
tell a remarkably different story.
Instead of the vaunted randomness
of our immense universe, scientists have
recently discovered indisputable
patterns in the structures of
matter and energy.
Over the eons, these distinctive
patterns drove the universe inexorably
toward formation of the Earth as what
we experience it to be: our secure,
exceptional, and singularly
welcoming home.
In these pages, you'll learn:
Why the universe is so old . . . and so vast!
Earth's unique chemical and geological characteristics that make it a hospitable place for mankind
How the moon became critical to life on Earth
How volcanism, mass extinctions, and even changes in the Earth's orbit prepared the way for mankind
Evidence that evolutionary changes are not, as the atheists claim, random
Why the Catholic Church has always distinguished the Book of Scripture from the Book of Nature
How science presupposes the existence of God without even realizing it!
The limitations of the scientific method and how those limitations trip up scientists
The many hidden, unscientific dogmas of science
The errors of Stephen Hawking and other popular cosmologists
Why science wrongly denies that the universe was made for mankind
Evidence that we live in a purpose-driven world (and why science is blind to it)
And much more!

Россия уведомила Финляндию о выходе из соглашения о военных инспекциях - Russia notified Finland of withdrawal from the military inspection agreement
Россия уведомила Финляндию о выходе из соглашения о военных инспекциях
https://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/17824881
Russia notified Finland of withdrawal from the military inspection agreement
STOCKHOLM, May 23. /TASS/. Russia has notified Finland of the termination of the agreement on additional military inspections. This statement was made on Tuesday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic.
"Today Finland has received information from Russia that it will withdraw from the bilateral agreement on additional military [inspection] visits from June 1," the Finnish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
This agreement has been in force since 2000 and provided for two inspections annually: by Finnish military personnel in the Western Military District of the Russian Federation and Russian military experts in Finland. The last time such events were held in a bilateral format was even before the pandemic began, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic specified.
The agreement supplemented the Vienna document adopted in 2011 by the members of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. It provides, in particular, for a wide exchange of information on the armed forces, defense planning and military budgets, inspections, as well as notification by each other signatories of certain military activities.
