“Gaza
footage shows protester shot in the back while running away from Israeli border
wall”
“As soldiers, we too were told to open fire at
protesters in Gaza”
https://972mag.com/as-soldiers-we-were-told-to-open-fire-at-protesters-in-gaza/134307/
I was
on the border with Gaza six years ago. The same marchers, the same protest.
Even the orders to open fire at crowds of people remained the same.

Dear
Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Some
years ago a former undergraduate student of mine sent me a book he had just published. It was a
science fiction piece of considerable length and in quite decent English. I
claim no credit for his accomplishment, and a busy teaching and
writing schedule kept me from this book of fiction for several years. In fact, it was
only after my retirement that I got the chance to pick it up, and I couldn’t
put it down. Francis André is indeed a skilled writer, and in English, too. His
book, Mr A, The Fall
is a 300+ page self-published sci-fi work at ANDRE FEAR Publisher (2011); it is
a Manichean story of cosmic dimensions, of the forces of good and evil and the
threat of massive destruction of our planet. This well-written tomb certainly
serves as a reflection of the thoughts of an intelligent young student who aspires
to be a cultural technician in today's world. My failure as his history teacher
was my inability to communicate to him an alternative understanding to the
elitist theories and conspiracy plots that echo in this science fiction book.
Here, the supernatural evils can only be overcome by coordinated supernatural
good, and this requires the redemption of some really "bad" characters and an
extraordinary will for self-sacrifice in the name of "common decency". In place
of class struggle we find cosmic battles between elite forces, organized in an
exceedingly subservient political hierarchy, with access to extraordinary technology that can evaporate
everything in their way.
Returning
to our one and only earth, where we read about Trump’s new National Security Advisor, John Bolton; his
Secretary of Defense, James Mattis; his head of the
Justice Department, Jeff Sessions; his recently appointed Secretary of State, former CIA
Director Mike Pompeo, etc., etc., etc…, it is easy to see why there might be some attraction to a Manichean world view. It is an illusion, of course,
created for science fiction writing, but it has gained traction in some of the social
sciences, and in academic literary and cultural studies departments, as well. The undisguised delight derived from careful analysis
of authentic material relationships and the deep satisfaction of effective interventions have
become rare in the field of social movements. Too often we are plagued with the
passive apprehension of "evil" overwhelming us and our entire planet, eliminating this "experiment"
we call life. The fight for justice and equality, in this state of mind, yields to a
desperate struggle for survival under any conditions. Thus, yesterday becomes the ideal model for
tomorrow.
I believe that the
talents of young people deserve better objectives.
The multiple news items below reflect the cacophony of fast-moving events in the vortex of crisis capitalism and expanding imperialist wars. We offer CEIMSA readers this critical information and the alternative interpretations as an antidote to the poisonous propaganda that corporate media feeds us continually to stupefy us and keep us in a submissive state of hopeless distraction. This information will hopefully serve to inform and inspire readers to discard escapist fantasies of omnipotent elite machinations and to prepare for more effective collective action at the grassroots level in our richly diverse society where we live and work every day. The world is at once more horrid and more beautiful than we can imagine.
All this remains to be discovered . . . .

Francis

Prosecutorial
Misconduct Reaches
Epidemic
Proportions
https://www.truthdig.com/articles/prosecutorial-misconduct-reaches-epidemic-proportions/
by Bill Blum
In
February 2010, the Justice Department published a long-awaited report prepared
by its Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) that found former Office of
Legal Counsel (OLC) attorneys John Yoo and Jay Bybee had engaged in professional misconduct by authoring
two memorandums in 2002 and 2003 justifying the use of torture in the crackdown
on suspected terrorists in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
A
full 260 pages long, the OPR
report is formally titled the “Investigation into the Office of
Legal Counsel’s Memoranda Concerning Issues Relating to the Central
Intelligence Agency’s Use of ‘Enhanced Interrogation Techniques’ on Suspected
Terrorists.” Completed in July 2009, it concluded that Yoo
and Bybee had failed to provide the George W. Bush
administration, for which the torture memos had been written, with the
“thorough, candid, and objective” legal analysis that is incumbent upon all
lawyers working in the OLC. The report recommended that Yoo
and Bybee be referred to their respective state bar
associations to face disciplinary actions against their licenses to practice
law. At the time, Bybee was a member of the District
of Columbia bar, while Yoo was licensed in
Pennsylvania.
Neither
man, however, was ever referred for sanctions

Dear Francis, Let’s not mince words: John
Bolton is a war-mongering lunatic and his appointment to be Donald Trump’s
National Security Advisor is the greatest military threat we face as a
nation. John Bolton still
thinks the Iraq war was a good idea. He attacks the UN and advocates for war with North Korea and
Iran. He has even written such articles as “The Legal Case for Striking North
Korea First” and “To Stop Iran’s Bomb, Bomb Iran.” Bolton’s appointment
doesn’t require Senate confirmation, so there is nothing we can do to prevent
him from starting the job on April 9. But we can stop the other Iran Deal
hater, Mike Pompeo, who Trump has nominated for
Secretary of State. Help us counter John Bolton by
telling your senators not to confirm Mike Pompeo.
Tell them that a vote for Pompeo is a vote for
Bolton and a vote for war. Trump is trying to
bring in a trifecta of war hawks. In addition to
Bolton and Pompeo, he has appointed torture
supporter Gina Haspel to head the CIA. Haspel will require confirmation. After Pompeo’s hearing, we will focus on opposing Haspel’s appointment as well. The appointments of
Bolton, Pompeo and Haspel
come just before Trump’s meeting with North Korean President Kim Jong-Un in
May and the May 12 certification of the Iran nuclear deal. A US pullout
from the nuclear deal would trigger a major international crisis, as would a
military attack on North Korea. A vote for Pompeo is a vote for Bolton and a vote for war. Tell the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee not to confirm Mike Pompeo. Bolton doesn’t hide his
war agenda. So we’re going to have
to escalate our peaceful protests. From opposing Pompeo’s
confirmation to actions on the streets, we need your help in building a
movement to stop these dangerous men. Let’s protect the world from another US
war. Towards peace, |

One
wonders if this latest extremely provocative and hostile accusation against
Russia, supported by Washington’s empire, is the prelude to war. There is no

4, Russia used a military-grade nerve agent to attempt to murder a British
citizen and his daughter in Salisbury.”

Two Failures In One Day - Missile Defense Is An Embaressment
–
It Won't Work
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/49079.htm
by Moon Of Alabama
Within the new $700 billion defense budget the U.S. Congress
allocated more
money for missile defense:
The Pentagon would spend an additional $1 billion on two of
Lockheed’s missile defense systems, bringing total appropriations for the
Missile Defense Agency to $11.5 billion.
Two incidents last night provide again that missile defense
is a waste fo money. It
hardly ever works. Strategic missile defense, which the U.S. builds to take
down intercontinental missiles, will not protect against the new weapons Russia
is now pursuing. The U.S. military acknowledges this. After Putin announced
the new weapon systems the Trump administration raised
the white flag and suddenly asked for new
arms control talks.
Last night the Yemeni army launched
(vid) seven ballistic missiles against Saudi Arabia.
Three of those targeted the capital Riyadh, four were
aimed ar military and infrastructure targets. In
Riyadh the Saudi forces fired a a
number of Patriot surface-to-air missiles and claimed that those successfully
intercepted the Yemeni missiles. The Saudis Patriot Advanced Capabilities-2
system (PAC-2) are made by the U.S. company Raytheon which is also hiring
former U.S. soldiers as 'Patriot Battery Systems Technician Field Engineers' to
man
and maintain the Saudi systems.
Earlier Saudi claims of successful intercepts turned
out to be false. The small warheads of the Yemeni missiles separate
from the larger missile body and are difficult to detect. The U.S. provided
systems inevitably aims at the bigger empty missile body.
This time various
videos from
Riyadh show that at least seven interceptors were fired against the three
incoming missiles. At least two of the interceptors failed catastrophically.
The other five seem to have simply self destructed at height. There is no sign
of any real interception.
One of the Patriot interceptors prematurely exploded during
its boost phase. Its burning debris showered the ground with hot parts.

7
Reasons Your Economic Insecurity
Isn’t
Your Fault
Above

https://popularresistance.org/7-reasons-your-economic-insecurity-isnt-your-fault/
by Matt Stannard,
Cowboysonthecommons.org
The sobering assessment at
the end of 2017 by Philip Alston, the UN’s special rapporteur
on extreme poverty and human rights, concerning the 40+ million Americans
living in poverty, left a question unasked: Why have there been so few
effective grassroots political revolts against inequality and material
deprivation in the United States?
The
seeming lack of class consciousness is even more surprising when we consider
that economic insecurity doesn’t just affect those below the poverty level:
over 215 million Americans–which
I count as 66 percent of the population–couldn’t cover a $1000 emergency with
the money in their savings account. That’s over five times as
many of us who technically live in poverty, and it suggests that economic
insecurity is now an intrinsic feature of the American identity.

Integrity Has Vanished From The West
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/49077.htm
by Paul Craig Roberts
Among Western political leaders there is not an ounce of
integrity or morality. The Western print and TV media is dishonest and corrupt
beyond repair. Yet the Russian government persists in its fantasy of “working
with Russia’s Western partners.” The only way Russia can work with crooks is to
become a crook. Is that what the Russian government wants?
Finian Cunningham notes
the absurdity in the political and media uproar over Trump (belatedly)
telephoning Putin to congratulate him on his reelection with 77 percent of the
vote, a show of public approval that no Western political leader could possibly
attain. The crazed US senator from Arizona called the person with the largest
majority vote of our time “a dictator.” Yet a real blood-soaked dictator from
Saudi Arabia is feted at the White House and fawned over by the president of
the United States.
The
Western politicians and presstitutes are morally
outraged over an alleged poisoning, unsupported by any evidence, of a former
spy of no consequence on orders by the president of Russia himself. These kind
of insane insults thrown at the leader of the world’s most powerful military
nation—and Russia is a nation, unlike the mongrel Western countries—raise the
chances of nuclear Armageddon beyond the risks during the 20th century’s Cold
War. The insane fools making these unsupported accusations show total disregard
for all life on earth. Yet they regard themselves as the salt of the earth and
as “exceptional, indispensable” people.

Welcome to the Dick Cheney
Administration
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/49076.htm
by Stephen M. Walt
The problem with John Bolton isn’t that he’s an extremist. It's
that he’s mainstream.
The other shoe dropped. On the heels of his cowardly fire-by-tweet
dismissal of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Donald
Trump has dismissed National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster and replaced him
with John Bolton, the hard-line former U.S. ambassador to the United
Nations. Uber-hawk Mike Pompeo
is headed from the CIA to the State Department, and Gina Haspel,
a CIA loyalist who ran
a torture site for George W. Bush and authorized
the destruction of videotapes documenting what the CIA was doing,
has been picked to replace him. Just how scared should you be?
There seem to be two general reactions to the
latest upheaval in Trump’s topsy-turvy. One interpretation is that this latest reshuffle amounts to Trump getting rid of the “grown-ups”
who have been trying to manage the tweeter-in-chief for the past year and
replacing them with advisors who see the world as he does and will let “Trump
be Trump.” In this view, the new team will enable him instead of trying to rein
him in, and he’ll become the Trump of 2016, who called U.S. foreign policy a
“complete and total disaster” and promised “America First.” Trump himself has
encouraged this view by suggesting that he is finally
assembling the sort of team he has always wanted. (Which raises an
obvious question: Who was the idiot who picked his
first team? Or his second? Oh, right.)
The second interpretation is more alarmist and basically tells you to start digging that
backyard bomb shelter. In this view, the departures of Tillerson
and McMaster and the arrivals of Bolton, Pompeo, and Haspel herald the ascendance of a hawkish contingent that
will tear up the Iran deal, reinstate the torture regime, and eventually start
a war with North Korea that goes way beyond a simple “bloody
nose.” And with Bolton in the White House, Trump is going to be
advised by a guy who
never saw a war he didn’t like (when observed from a safe distance,
of course).

What
Happened To The West I Was Born In?!
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/49078.htm
by The Saker
Frankly, I am awed, amazed and even embarrassed. I was
born in Switzerland, lived most of my life there, I also visited most of
Europe, and I lived in the USA for over 20 years. Yet in my worst
nightmares I could not have imagined the West sinking as low as it does
now. I mean, yes, I know about the false flags, the corruption, the
colonial wars, the NATO lies, the abject subservience of East Europeans,
etc. I wrote about all that many times. But imperfect as they were,
and that is putting it mildly, I remember Helmut Schmidt, Maggie Thatcher,
Reagan, Mitterrand, even Chirac! And I remember what the Canard Enchaîné used to be, or even the BBC. During the Cold
War the West was hardly a knight in white shining armor, but still – rule of
law did matter, as did at least some degree of critical thinking.
I am now deeply embarrassed for the West. And very, very afraid.
All I see today is a submissive herd lead by true, bona fide,
psychopaths (in a clinical sense of the word)
And that is not the worst thing.

Pyongyang
International is one of the world’s quieter airports. The country’s chronic
isolation means that there are not many places to fly,
and few foreigners keen on visiting. At least until a new terminal was built in

the appearance of connection with the outside world. They never actually took
