he January assault by U.S. forces on Venezuela is an affront to everything the Omni Center for Peace, Justice, and Ecology stands for. We are not at war with Venezuela and have no right to sweep down in a violent assault capturing their President and recklessly destabilizing a sovereign country. Furthermore, this action was done without consultation with members of congress, as is required. It was an appalling, illegal, immoral act. This action is unique in our modern history. Not the usual nation building escapade in the name of spreading democracy. This time our administration has made it loud and clear that they were uninterested […]
We had a great visit with Chris Sweeny from the Ozark Chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. They’re protectors of that separation between church and state that’s kept America a thriving place for many. He brought a very generous gift of $300 from the Foundation. Thank you Chris and everyone part of your organization! And thank you to all the good people working to keep democracy alive and well in a very tough time.

Compiled by Dick Bennett for a Culture of Peace, Justice, and Ecology https://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2026/01/omni-venezuela-anthology-11-january-4.html What’s at Stake: Trump’s illegal and immoral intervention in Venezuela, and the grabbing of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, is beyond evil as the US once again displayed its imperialist face to the entire world. No good can come from this ugly action. Trump now says that the US will run Venezuela. He intends to attempt to take their oil (which he claims was ‘stolen’ from the US) and the vast mineral deposits inside Venezuela. Trump also claims that he will run Venezuela ‘right’ to the […]
