Terrorism: A False Threat
John Scales Avery – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Sep 2021

10 Sep 2021 – Twenty years after the events of 9/11 2001, and in the midst of the messy withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan, it seems appropriate to question the validity of the so-called “War on Terror”.

US and UN Treachery in the African Great Lakes Region: Why Rwandan Refugees Don’t Want to Go Home
Ann Garrison | Black Agenda Report – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Sep 2021

8 Sep 2021 – The term “United Nations” in front of the UN’s various humanitarian agencies is deceptive. It implies that they’re funded by the UN’s general budget and therefore are politically neutral but the UN High Commission for Refugees, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and the UN High Commission for Human Rights are all donor dependent, primarily on the EU and other European nations, who look out for their interests and those of the US.

How Can the USA Wake Up from Its Post-9/11 Nightmare?
Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Sep 2021

Our only hope for the future is to abandon the futile quest for hegemony and instead commit to peace, cooperative diplomacy, international law and disarmament. After 20 years of war and militarism that has only left the world a more dangerous place, we must choose the path of peace.

To Counter Terror, Abolish War
Kathy Kelly – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Sep 2021

11 Sep 2021 – On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was among a small group of U.S. citizens who sat on milk crates or stood holding signs, across from the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Manhattan. We had been fasting from solid foods for a month, calling for an end to brutal economic warfare waged against Iraq through imposition of U.N. sanctions.

On Child Vaccines, the Experts Are Suddenly Reluctant to Follow ‘the Science’

On 9/11, It’s Time for a Reckoning and Reflection of Decades of Failed U.S. National Security Policy
Katrina vanden Heuvel | Globetrotter – TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Sep 2021

9 Sep 2021 – A Reckoning with America’s Failed National Security Policy Is Long Overdue – This country desperately needs a fierce and energetic citizen intervention—a movement that demands both a reckoning and a change in course. Our democracy may be corrupted, but the American people can still call our leaders to account and challenge entrenched interests.

Africa and the War on Terror
Elizabeth Schmidt | US Foreign Policy - TRANSCEND Media Service, 13 Sep 2021

To understand the war on terror in Africa, it must be placed in historical context. At the close of WWII, the Cold War intensified and African struggles for independence escalated. European colonial powers and Cold War superpowers attempted to control the decolonization process. Western powers deployed military might to promote friendly governments that catered to their own political and economic interests and justified their interventions with the “communist threat.”

Enabling the “New Normal” through “Renormalization”
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

The pandemic highlighted widespread concern with the possibility of conditions returning to “normal”. This is now framed as “the light at the end of the tunnel”. Recognition that it is becoming unreasonable to expect to return to that old “normal” — whether or not that is desirable — discussion has however shifted to understanding the nature of the so-called “new normal”

Afghanistan Is Not the End
David Adams | Transition to a Culture of Peace – TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

1 Sep 2021 – As Karl Marx put it, spending money on the military is like throwing money into the sea. It produces nothing of value. And eventually an economy that produces nothing of value will crash from its own internal contradiction. This is the contradiction that led Johan Galtung to predict the end of the American Empire by the year 2020.

30 Aug 2021 – The Americans, like the British and the Soviets before them, dug their own graveyard in Afghanistan. The Taliban is about to be confronted with the wrath of a wounded empire. The Cuban, Vietnamese, Iranian, Venezuelan and Haitian governments know what comes next. It isn’t pretty. It will be paid for by the poorest and most vulnerable Afghans. Joe Biden: “We will not forgive, we will not forget, we will hunt you down and make you pay.”

‘Horror Scene’: Anger as US Drone Attack Kills Afghan Children
Ali M Latifi | Al Jazeera - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

The Ahmadi and Nejrabi families had packed all their belongings, waiting for word to be escorted to Kabul airport and moved to the United States. The Sunday [29 Aug] afternoon drone attack, which the US claimed was conducted on an Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISKP, or ISIS-K) target, killed 10 members of the families, ranging from two to 40 years old.

For most people, 2020 will be remembered as the year of the ‘virus’ and 2021 will be remembered as the year of the ‘vaccine’.

Afghanistan Shows White Privilege in Action on the Geopolitical Stage
Chandran Nair | The Diplomat - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

3 Sep 2021 – The rapid collapse of the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan and the consequent yet predictable torrent of responses from Western media and politicians demonstrated just how entrenched the Western worldview in projecting its “right” to be the leaders of the world. Western exceptionalism and privilege have long been entrenched in geopolitics – and war.

New York Times Cites US Torturer Michael Chertoff on Chinese “Repression”
Andre Damon | WSWS - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

A Case Study in “Human Rights Imperialism” – There is one source quoted in the 1,500-word editorial, a report by Freedom House, an organization the Times says nothing about: “Freedom House receives 90 percent of its funding from the US government. Its current chairman is Michael Chertoff, who served as US Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush, and co-authored the USA Patriot Act, which justified mass illegal surveillance, torture, and the assassination of American citizens. Chertoff has been accused of war crimes.”

Enrico Peyretti | Constituente Terra – TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

30 agosto 2021 – L’orrore degli attentati e il dramma dei profughi afghani mostrano quanto sia alto il prezzo della rotta americana a Kabul, e non solo per l’America. Essa è stata assimilata alla fuga da Saigon dell’aprile 1975. In realtà è stata molto di più e molto più grande è la sua forza simbolica come evento capace di segnare una periodizzazione della storia in due tempi opposti e diversi tra un’epoca che finisce e un’altra che comincia.

The Future Is a Landscape
John Michael Greer | Ecosophia - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

I’ve been reflecting of late about the way that our habitual expectations about change blind us to the way that change actually happens. One of the most important of these is the frankly weird but pervasive notion that the future is a single place, where only one kind of thing happens. It’s always “The Future,” very much in the singular.

AFRICOM in the Congo
Kambale Musavuli | Black Agenda Report - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

1 Sep 2021 – The US military has operated in the Congo for a long time doing covert operations in South Sudan and Central African Republic. Their current engagement is not covert and highly arrogant after being the military that has trained Rwanda and Uganda, which invaded the Congo twice killing over 6 million people. AFRICOM arrived in the Congo ostensibly to fight ISIS; we can be sure they will do more to support the US looting of the Congo’s wealth than stopping terrorism.

Worrying about Your Carbon Footprint Is Exactly What Big Oil Wants You to Do
Auden Schendler | The New York Times - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

31 Aug 2021 – In 2004, BP hired the public relations firm Ogilvy & Mather to improve its image by conveying the message that consumers of oil and natural gas bear the responsibility for their greenhouse gas emissions, not the producers of the oil and gas they use. The result was BP’s ingenious carbon footprint calculator, which allows individuals to calculate the carbon emissions that result from their activities. It’s “about helping you to go carbon neutral — reducing and offsetting your carbon footprint,” BP says on its “target neutral” website.

Afghan Crisis Must End America’s Empire of War, Corruption and Poverty
Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies – TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

30 Aug 2021 – Even as UN agencies warn of an impending humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, the U.S. Treasury has frozen the Afghan Central Bank’s $9.4 billion in foreign currency reserves, depriving the new government of funds that it will desperately need in the coming months. Under pressure from the Biden administration, the IMF decided not to release $450 million to Afghanistan to cope with the coronavirus pandemic.

Leo Tolstoy (9 Sep 1828 – 20 Nov 1910)
Gary Saul Morson | Encyclopædia Britannica - TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

In contrast to other psychological writers, such as Dostoyevsky, who specialized in unconscious processes, Tolstoy described conscious mental life with unparalleled mastery. Oscillating between skepticism and dogmatism, he explored the most-diverse approaches to human experience. Above all, his greatest works, ‘War and Peace’ and ‘Anna Karenina,’ endure as the summit of realist fiction.

For those of us active in peacebuilding, the Afghan situation requires evaluation and a willingness to consider new approaches.

However, we may have to be clearer on what peacebuilding measures could have made a real difference in such complex and divided societies as Afghanistan.

U.S. Psychology’s Unfinished Journey from 9/11
Roy Eidelson – TRANSCEND Media Service, 6 Sep 2021

3 Sep 2021 – As the upcoming anniversary of 9/11 approaches, the APA’s ethics reforms that constrain the involvement of psychologists in national security detention and interrogation operations still remain in place. But they are fragile and under assault. Particularly worrisome in this regard is the growth of a specialized domain within “operational psychology”—one where individuals are targeted for harm rather than healing; where voluntary informed consent is absent; and where activities are conducted in classified settings beyond the ready reach of outside ethical oversight.

Misleading Modelling of Global Crises
Anthony Judge | Laetus in Praesens – TRANSCEND Media Service, 30 Aug 2021

The argument here is provoked by the single-issue modelling of the global pandemic and the consensus to which it has given rise regarding universal vaccination as “doing the right thing” and “for the benefit of all” — with zero consideration of alternative possibilities. Not only are these alternatives absent from public discourse, but any efforts at their articulation are reframed as misleadingly associated with misinformation — therefore requiring vigorous suppression, and censorship of those promoting such methodological consideration.

Debacle in Afghanistan
Tariq Ali | New Left Review - TRANSCEND Media Service, 30 Aug 2021

16 Aug 2021 – The fall of Kabul to the Taliban on 15 August 2021 is a major political and ideological defeat for the American Empire. The crowded helicopters carrying US Embassy staff to Kabul airport were startlingly reminiscent of the scenes in Saigon – now Ho Chi Minh City – in April 1975. The speed with which Taliban forces stormed the country was astonishing; their strategic acumen remarkable. A week-long offensive ended triumphantly in Kabul.

Are You a Seeker of Truth or a Believer in Lies?
Michael J. Talmo – TRANSCEND Media Service, 30 Aug 2021

27 Aug 2021 – Truth, facts, and individual freedom don’t seem very important these days. As the COVID-19 epidemic rages on, our little blue planet is drowning in a sea of lies, oppression, and propaganda. Day after day, our weary brains are being saturated with case numbers, death totals, and supposedly overcrowded hospitals while governments and private businesses are coercing and bullying us into taking so called vaccines that are killing and permanently disabling who knows how many tens of thousands.
