How Pearl Harbor Day Threatens Venezuela
Trump is openly threatening war on Venezuela in blatant violation of the United Nations Charter, and has already for nearly three months been openly murdering everyone aboard numerous boats — a crime whether it’s murder or whether it’s war. The utter absence of the most basic morality from U.S. journalism is to be found in the worries over whether these murders are war, whether the possible war is approved by Congress, and whether a double-tap murder of two out of eleven people
Donald Trump, Union Buster
Although President Donald Trump has claimed that “every policy” of his administration was “designed to lift up the American worker,” he has acted consistently, since returning to office in January 2025, to undermine workers’ chosen representatives, America’s labor unions.

Donald Trump’s America was absent in every way imaginable. I’m thinking of this year’s crucial U.N. Climate Change Conference in Brazil that hosted dozens of world leaders to discuss the global climate and the energy crisis, but not, of course, Donald Trump (or
War on Venezuela Is A Lie
In 2010, I wrote a book called War Is A Lie, with an updated edition in 2016. If I’m lucky and find time — and maybe if they ease up on the wars for a little while — I’ll get a new version out in 2026. But I can already apply the basic idea of the book to the threatened war on Venezuela.
The argument in the book is, of course, not that wars aren’t real, but rather that nothing that is commonly said to justify them is true. The book begins thus:

Give Donald Trump credit. He may be the ultimate destroyer of an imperial power. I’m thinking, of course, of the United States. After all, he’s in the process of turning climate change — oops, sorry, that “hoax,” that “

Disobey an Order That Is Illegal Or From Trump (But I Repeat Myself)
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War, November 20, 2025
A U.S. federal judge ruled Thursday that members of the so-called National Guard occupying Washington, D.C., do so only by obeying illegal orders. At Nuremberg, the U.S. and its allies tried and convicted Nazis despite their defense that they had been obeying orders, and despite some of the crimes having been invented after the fact for the prosecution.
On Tuesday, a group of Congress Members who had all “served” in the war machine published
