“There is very little serious talk of how to move us from a war economy to a peace economy. MSNBC and CNN aren't going to touch that any more than Fox will.” My latest article in Newsweek... newsweek.com/moral-questioni…

Marianne Williamson lifts the veil on a perpetual war machine... “The U.S. military has become less a purveyor of freedom and more a purveyor of protection for the corporate forces they represent, from the military defense system to the fossil fuel industry and more.” MW

MLK was right; the triple evils are interconnnected. If we're going to end militarism and the racism in the criminal justice system, we'll need a new safety floor underneath all the people exiting them; $1300/month UBI plus 1/3 for kids. We can do all this in 2022 if we #unite.

Maybe if we didn't have countries like Russia, China that try to take over the world we could have less military. Unlike those we have returned countries that were taken over. You also failed it is the duty to have a military, one of the three things under the Constitution.

I told you how. You cannot abolish the military industrial complex and everything it has become. It is a part of the US. What we COULD do, is change it slightly to a humanitarian / healthcare organization. Like I asked you to help me do. 10 times.... COVID Response Unit!

This may be your best article! … I had no idea that President Eisenhower said military spending was “… a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed," … We need a President who’s not afraid to challange this … Wonderfully Written!

And in addition, there is "much talk" of "climate change action", yet no talk whatsoever of reducing the Pentagon's budget as it is the single greatest producer of greenhouse gases - the worlds biggest polluter. U.S. Defense spending is a sign of moral decay, not of patriotism.
