New Simón Bolívar Institute For Peace And Solidarity Among Peoples

By Arnold August, Council on Hemispheric Affairs. The founding of the Simón
Bolívar Institute for Peace and Solidarity Among Peoples on September 6, 2020
marks a new political milestone. In the most difficult of circumstances, having
to cope with not only the U.S. and Canadian sanctions but the pandemic as well,
the Bolivarian Revolution has made this effort for the benefit of all who
believe in its liberatory ideals across the planet. The goal of the Institute
is to coordinate global solidarity with the Bolivarian Revolution and the
Venezuelan people, and the solidarity of the South American nation toward
struggles for social..

Assange Court Report September 16: Afternoon

By Bridges for Media Freedom, Assange Court Report. A famous Vietnam era
whistleblower, 89-year-old Daniel Ellsberg, has told a court that he feels “a
great identification,” with both Julian Assange and his source Chelsea Manning,
who, he said, “were willing to suffer the risk of imprisonment or even death to
get information to the American public.” Ellsberg, a former US Marine officer
who served with the US State Department in Vietnam during the war years, is
best known for leaking a huge tranche of US government documents on the war to
the New York Times in 1970, documents that showed that the government had been
lying to...

Tribute To Kevin Zeese: Life And Loss In The Struggle For Liberation

By Danny Haiphong, Black Agenda Report. The pain of loss is immeasurable yet
comrades across the globe have come to view it as an inevitable aspect of the
fight for liberation. For the revolutionary, death is neither a secret nor a
prophecy. The loss of life is as common as life itself for the oppressed and
those who fight on the side of the oppressed. I didn't know Kevin Zeese as well
as I would have liked beyond a podcast interview and the honor of sharing a
room with him at anti-war conferences. However, what I do know is that his
legacy is, and will continue to be, a profound contribution to the world we are
trying to build.

Occupation Of UK Factory Involved In Israeli Drone Manufacture

By Joe Gill, Middle East Eye. Direct action protests against Israel’s largest
weapons company have escalated in the UK, with an occupation of a factory
building engines for drones used by Israel’s army entering its third day on
Wednesday. Protests were also held outside Elbit System UK’s London
headquarters and at its landlord’s main offices, as new solidarity group
Palestine Action escalated its campaign to shut down the company's operation in
the UK. Elbit Systems UK is part of the high-tech weapons group that supplies
more than 80 percent of the Israeli army’s military drones, including the
Hermes 900 and Hermes 450...

Climate Change Will Force A New American Migration

By Abrahm Lustgarten, Pro Publica. August besieged California with a heat
unseen in generations. A surge in air conditioning broke the state’s electrical
grid, leaving a population already ravaged by the coronavirus to work remotely
by the dim light of their cellphones. By midmonth, the state had recorded
possibly the hottest temperature ever measured on earth — 130 degrees in Death
Valley — and an otherworldly storm of lightning had cracked open the sky. From
Santa Cruz to Lake Tahoe, thousands of bolts of electricity exploded down onto
withered grasslands and forests, some of them already hollowed out by
climate-driven infestations of...

Legal Care For All

By Kieran Szuchewycz and Katharina Maier, Canadian Dimension. We understand
that needing doctors and medical care is just a part of life. We are happy to
distinguish ourselves from our southern neighbours on the grounds that we are a
society that ensures a health crisis does not result in financial ruin. In the
course of our lifetime, most of us will also find ourselves in a situation
where we need a lawyer. Whether it’s a divorce, a car accident, a business
dispute, an eviction, or a criminal matter, one time or another, we will
require a lawyer to advocate and advise us as we navigate the complex judicial
system.

Nurse Alleges Forced Sterilizations, Medical Malpractice At Immigrant
Detention Center

By Niles Niemuth, WSWS. A whistleblower complaint filed on behalf of a nurse
who worked at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in
southern Georgia until July alleges that a number of immigrant women detained
there were subjected to sterilization through hysterectomies without their
consent. In the complaint, filed by the legal advocacy group Project South, the
former nurse describes conditions at the center as akin to an “experimental
concentration camp.” The complaint also details the refusal of the center’s
administrators to carry out COVID-19 testing or implement protective measures,
putting...

Protests And Rockets As Gulf States Sign Deals With Israel

By Tamara Nassar, Electronic Intifada. At a White House ceremony on Tuesday,
the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain officially established diplomatic
relations with Israel. The signing of the US-brokered Abraham Accords
formalizes decades of clandestine relations between Israel and the two Gulf
states. US President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
Emirati foreign minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and his Bahraini
counterpart Abdullatif bin Rashid Alzayani all spoke before the signing. Al
Nahyan and Alzayani also signed separate treaties with Trump and Netanyahu.

Good Ellsberg, Bad Assange

By Kevin Gosztola, Dissenter. Opponents of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
often hold up Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg as an example of
someone who was responsible for a good leak. They insist WikiLeaks is not like
the Pentagon Papers because supposedly Assange was reckless with sensitive
documents. On the seventh day of an extradition trial against Assange, Ellsberg
dismantled this false narrative and outlined for a British magistrate court why
Assange would not receive a fair trial in the United States. Assange is accused
of 17 counts of violating the Espionage Act and one count of conspiracy to...

The Economy Of Sharing Is Alive during Nicaragua’s Independence Celebration

By Jorge Capelán, Alliance for Global Justice. This week is very important in
Central America, especially in Nicaragua. On September 15, the region
celebrates the signing of its declaration of Independence from Spain in 1821.
On September 14, another historic milestone is celebrated: The defeat of US
filibuster William Walker and his troops by Nicaraguan forces in 1856. Walker
had repealed laws prohibiting slavery in an attempt to get the support of US
southern states. US President Franklin Pierce recognized Walker’s as the
legitimate government of Nicaragua an endeavor to bring Nicaragua under US
control that failed...

Prosecutor Quits Trump’s Law Enforcement Commission

By Ryan J. Reilly, Huff Post. An elected prosecutor who took a role in Donald
Trump’s presidential commission on law enforcement has resigned, telling
Attorney General William Barr that he is concerned the commission was “intent
on providing cover for a predetermined agenda that ignores the lessons of the
past” and will issue a final report that “will only widen the divisions in our
nation.” Trump formed the Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the
Administration of Justice late last October, announcing its formation at the
International Association of Chiefs of Police’s annual meeting.

EPA Postpones Environmental Justice Training

By Rachel Frazin, The Hill. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will
postpone training on environmental inequity faced by communities of color and
low-income communities following a White House order calling for agencies to
stop training involving what it described as "anti-American propaganda."
Charles Lee, the EPA's senior policy adviser for environmental justice, told
employees in an email that the department would postpone an event that was part
of its speaker series on structural racism and environmental justice.
