Answer to a Close Friend on Palestine
Dear Miriam,
Sorry, this is as brief as I can make it.
I was nine years old (1948) when there was HUGE celebration in the Bronx at founding of the state of Israel. No one told me that Arabs had lived on that land for centuries and were displaced by force, tens of thousands of them crammed into postage-stamp-size Gaza, now host to two million Palestinians.
That most Americans still believe "the Russians hacked" those DNC emails in 2016 is downright dangerous – the more so, as the clowns around President Joe Biden rally support for possible war with Russia.
Last year, as the corporate media began their third year of suppressing sworn testimony that there was no such hack of the DNC. I wrote this.
We are into our fourth year of suppression now and things are much more parlous. If you believe Russia hacked those emails that were so prejudicial to Mrs. Clinton, you’ve been had. It’s a Weapons-of-Mass-Destruction-scale deception, this time with the FBI, rather than CIA, playing the lead role.

On Saturday about 50,000 people demonstrated at Brandenburg Gate against sending more weapons to Ukraine and for beginning negotiations immediately by “making an offer” to the Russian government.
I believe that the recent work of Seymour Hersh regarding the pipeline, which has been widely reported here, along with the testimony at the UN Security Council Tuesday by Professor Jeffrey Sachs and you may have played an important role in motivating and mobilizing people from all over Germany to take part in the Saturday demonstrations.

On Sunday (January 29) Ray McGovern briefed the stalwarts at Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action in the Northwest of Washington state, who witness to life in the dark shadow of nuclear armed Trident submarines, eight of which are based at a naval base adjacent to Ground Zero. (The other six Tridents are deployed on the East Coast at Kings Bay, Georgia, where the “Kings Bay Plowshares 7” did a nonviolent action on April 4, 2018 — which resulted in their having to spend considerable time in prison.)
The adjacent Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor is homeport to the largest concentration of deployed nuclear warheads in the U.S. The nuclear warheads are not only deployed on Trident submarines, but are also stored in an underground nuclear weapons storage facility on the base.
One Trident submarine carries the destructive force of over 1,200 Hiroshima bombs (the Hiroshima bomb was 15 kilotons).
Since the crisis in Ukraine has brought the possible use of nuclear weapons into rather Blasé conversation, it seemed good to provide a brief review of how we got where we now are in Ukraine and what we might try to do to end the madness. Since Ray focused on ‘Russia-gate: Can You Handle the Truth’ the last time he was in Seattle and environs he devoted some time to updating on that and relating matters.
