Dangerous Times!
The Israel/US war in Gaza appears to be expanding north to Lebanon and perhaps beyond.
The US proxy war in Ukraine against Russia appears to be expanding to more direct NATO involvement and the possible use of nuclear weapons –WWIII, and the end of civilization as we know it.
The US keeps poking China in the South China Sea, risking a major war by accident or design.
The bottom line is that the US wants to remain the sole unchallenged Global Empire, and like all empires, overextend, and collapse.

Julian Assange, Wikileaks Founder, is Finally Free!
Julian Assange, Wikileaks founder, and Australian citizen is finally free after more than 14 years of restrictions and imprisonment for exposing US & British war crimes in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The late US whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who released “The Pentagon Papers” on the hidden history of the US war in Vietnam said that the U.S. effort to prosecute Julian Assange under the Espionage Act was a threat to journalism everywhere. Press freedom, journalistic integrity, and whistleblower protections are central to First Amendment Free Speech rights. Exposing US war crimes should not be a crime. Mahalo Julian and all those who stood up for him!
