“We are all reeling, stunned by this savage act of aggression from the empire of the United States of America on our brothers and sisters and comrades in Venezuela.”

He was a great musician and poet who managed to channel an entire youth that cried out: “Peace, peace, peace!”. His spirituality and his gift of being a good person maintain an immense and powerful relevance.
His legacy is an anthem for all eras and generations. We have the right to imagine a world of peace and happiness for everyone. The strength of his thought motivates us to continue fighting with dignity.
Let’s look for the lyrics of “Imagine”! In them lies the dream of a world without divisions or wars, a world that is possible. Long live the eternal memory of John Lennon!
From 1945 to present – the US Military has killed 30 million people around the world enforcing regime change and the perpetuation of the predatory capitalist system. On September 11th – the US lost around 2,996 – a number that is dropping all the time. Following this episode, the powers that be in the US decided that the era of Black people making anti-Statist propaganda was over – and that now record companies were instructed to shift Black angst into the direction of making-money – as no other content would be tolerated. The point of this was to prevent a working-class, pro-Socialist movement forming around the edgy music of the Black Power movement. After 911, the very Eurocentric mechanism that had developed slavery and enforced racism – i.e. predatory capitalism – was to be the very same mechanism that would offer Black people freedom from future slavery – in a utopia were money can purchase a secure (gated community) existence “free” of racism.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki said, “It is very deplorable. We’ll strongly urge the U.S. military to take measures that would be effective to prevent a similar incident.”
Last Friday, the U.S. military and local police carried out a joint patrol in entertainment districts in the city of Okinawa as part of efforts to prevent sexual crimes involving American military personnel.
The island of Okinawa hosts 70 percent of all the U.S. military bases in Japan while accounting for only 0.6 percent of the country’s total land area. Crimes committed by U.S. service members and nonmilitary personnel have been a constant source of grievance for locals.
“The transgender community threw the first bricks that launched the contemporary LGBTQ human rights movement,” said State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal.
“It was trans women of colour, trans women like Sylvia, Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, trans women that put their lives on the line, that stood on the front lines of this revolution. They are the reason why we have the rights that we have today, not just for trans people, but for LGBT people in general,” Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative board member Angelica Christina said.
“We’re going to do everything we can, especially with our nonprofit that fights for equality all over the globe, Stonewall Gives Back Initiative, to make sure that people know that we’re not going to tolerate this. Progress and civil rights, LGBTQ rights have never been made by being silent, and we’re not going to be silent,” Stonewall Inn co-owner Stacy Lentz said.
The Panama Canal, an artificial waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic with the Pacific, was completed by the United States in 1914 and returned to Panama in 1999 under a treaty signed by then U.S. President Jimmy Carter and then Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos. The deal relinquishes American control over the canal by year 2000 and guarantees its neutrality.
