Reprinted with permission from The Kucinich Report.

Reflections on My Arrest and Lessons Learned
Reprinted from Yves Engler’s website. An extreme Jewish supremacist activist convinced the police to arrest me for criticizing her racist posts. She’s likely acting as a front for a vast Zionist ‘lawfare’ initiative hostile to embarrassing Canadian leaders. Over the past 16 months I’ve annoyed many among the Jewish Zionist establishment. My writing, social media … Continue reading “Reflections on My Arrest and Lessons Learned”
Ukraine Agrees to a Ceasefire. Could it Really Happen?
Only days ago, the chances that Ukraine would agree to negotiate with Putin or agree to a ceasefire seemed very remote. A few days without U.S. military and intelligence aid changed that. On March 11, the Ukrainian delegation in Saudi Arabia, led by Zelensky’s powerful chief of staff Andriy Yermak, “expressed readiness to accept the … Continue reading “Ukraine Agrees to a Ceasefire.

When Dissent Becomes a Crime: The War on Political Speech Begins
“Once the principle is established that the government can arrest and jail protesters… officials will use it to silence opposition broadly.” ~ Heather Cox Richardson, historian You can’t have it both ways. You can’t live in a constitutional republic if you allow the government to act like a police state.

Moral Bankruptcy: Justifying the Ukraine War as Good for the US Economy
Supporters of the U.S.-NATO proxy war in Ukraine employ a range of dubious justifications. One is a refurbished version of the old domino theory used during the Cold War – if the United States and its allies don’t help Ukraine expel Russian occupation forces, the victorious Kremlin will then launch offensives against other European countries … Continue reading “Moral Bankruptcy: Justifying the Ukraine War as Good for the US Economy”

Negotiating a Lasting Peace in Ukraine
Reprinted from CommonDreams. There should be little doubt about how a lasting peace can be established in Ukraine. In April 2022, Russia and Ukraine were on the verge of signing a peace agreement in Istanbul, with the Turkish Government acting as mediator. The U.S. and U.K. talked Ukraine out of signing the agreement, and hundreds … Continue reading “Negotiating a Lasting Peace in Ukraine”
Will the US Push Zelensky Out?
The strife and war in Ukraine started with a U.S. supported coup eleven years ago. It might end, ironically, with a U.S. supported coup eleven years later. There is an embryonic chance that, if Vladimir Putin signs an agreement to end the war, it will not be Volodymyr Zelensky’s signature on the line beside it. … Continue reading “Will the US Push Zelensky Out?”
From Gaza to Syria: The Unyielding Reality of Israeli Settler Colonialism
The conversation on settler colonialism must not be limited to academic discussion. It is a political reality, clearly demonstrated in the everyday behavior of Israel. Israel is not merely an expansionist regime historically; it remains actively so today. Additionally, the core of Israeli political discourse, both past and present, revolves around territorial expansion. Frequently, we … Continue reading “From Gaza to Syria: The Unyielding Reality of Israeli Settler Colonialism”
Tariffs Are Theft
The US and China came closer to a full-fledged trade war last week when China imposed tariffs of up to 15 percent on key US agricultural exports. This was retaliation for President Trump’s increasing of tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States from 10 percent to 20 percent. China’s retaliatory tariffs show how export-dependent … Continue reading “Tariffs Are Theft”
