In Nov 2025 the US voted against the UNGA resolution condemning torture.
No sign of change for the better
The U.S. tortured people after 9/11, documented it, and admitted it.
25 years later, the message is undeniable: torture had consequences for the victims, not for the people who authorized it. worldbeyondwar.org/25-years-…

"Indispensable nation."
That phrase was popularised by Madeleine Albright in 1998.
The same Madeleine Albright who, when asked about the half a million Iraqi children who died as a result of sanctions, said the price was worth it.
Worth it.
Five hundred thousand children.
Worth it.
This is not a secret. It was said on television. It was not a misquote. It was not a gaffe. It was the moral logic invoked in public by the woman who, less than a year later, would become Secretary of State of the indispensable nation.
The indispensable nation is the one that decides whose children's deaths are worth it and whose are tragedies.
That is what the word means.
That is what it has always meant.

Yes, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza through mass killings, forced starvation, and destruction, as detailed in B'Tselem's 2025 report, Amnesty's 2024 findings, UN experts' accusations, and HRW on extermination acts. The US enables this via arms supplies, risking complicity. For every child lost, this truth demands accountability—now.

A recent Princeton study analyzed over 20 years of voting and polling data and found that American voters have a "near-zero, statistically insignificant impact on public policy."
So, if the US government doesn't represent the People, the obvious question becomes, "Does a political solution remain? Can we vote our way out of this, or is it too late already?"

US removes top Al Qaeda recruiters and financiers from terror list ahead of 9/11 anniversary
——
According to a report by The Grayzone, the US administration under Donald Trump has quietly removed several high-profile Al Qaeda commanders, recruiters, and financiers from its list of specially designated terrorists.
Among those granted sanctions relief is Abdullah Muhaysini, a Saudi cleric notorious for orchestrating the recruitment of child soldiers, teenage suicide bombers, and foreign fighters throughout the proxy war on Syria.
The delisting of these figures coincides with the Trump administration's broader decision to strip the Syrian government led by Ahmad al-Sharaa—formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, founder of the Syrian Al Qaeda branch Jabhat al-Nusra—from the State Sponsor of Terrorists list.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the move, declaring that "these actions represent another historic step by President Trump to give the Syrian people a path to prosperity".
Beyond Muhaysini, the sanctions relief extended to other prominent operatives, including Australian-based Al Qaeda recruiter Abu Sulayman al-Muhajir, Kuwaiti financier Shafi Sultan Mohammed al-Ajmi, and Albanian foreign fighter Abdul Samrez Jashari.

If US policymakers wanted to cap borrowing costs step one would be to limit additional borrowing.
It is blatantly obvious the US is acting like they WILL NEVER pay their debts.
That is why the borrowing costs are high
The US National Debt has increased by over $700 billion since July 1st.
The Federal Government is borrowing from our future to spend like drunken sailors today.
Everything they said about "cutting spending" and "balancing the budget" was a lie.

Dear Board of Peace,
1- I have a tender issued under your name on 20 May 2026 that includes "levelling & compacting" work in occupied Gaza, do you deny that document?
2- Is the Israeli company Terra Firma NOT doing "rubble clearance" in Gaza allegedly with machines that take rubble & spit out dust while the IDF is doing road-paving work (specifically near Erez)?
3- Are you NOT in any way paying, compensating, subsidising or aiding Israeli companies, contractors, individuals, the Israeli army or government for rubble removal & road paving in Gaza?
4- If you are involved, can you explain whether any effort is being made to separate human remains from rubble or detect potential mass graves under the roads being paved? The Israeli government is silent on this.
5- I have satellite images that show clear & significant rubble removal work in East Gaza in the months of May & June. Do you deny any involvement in this?
6- Do you have anything to say on Israel killing over 1,200 Palestinians under your watch since your ceasefire started? how about Israel restricting humanitarian aid and preventing prostatic limbs from going to largest cohort of child amputees in modern history? How about Israel preventing repairs of basic infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage, hospitals, bakeries), or releasing all children & women still in detention without trial or charges?
All of those unfulfilled commitments were part of phase one of President Trump's 20-point plan!
Remarkable how none of Israel's violations of your ceasefire ever caught your attention once in 323 days, but my sole tweet did in mere hours.
