Hiroshima Nagasaki Commemoration
Sunday August 9 — 7:00 pm – Omni Center There’s deep meaning to this annual event that changes over time. In 1945 when the US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we were rolling out the first-ever method for the human race to totally destroy itself and its planet home. As if that weren’t bad enough, under the guidance of the patriarchal systems that have dominated the world for the last 10,000 years, we’ve gone on to develop an entire range of systems working toward that same end. We have a choice of self-destructions … if we keep choosing leaders drooling to use […]
SOVIET/RUSSOPHOBIA ANTHOLOGY #9, July 28, 2026
Compiled by Dick Bennett https://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2026/07/omni-sovietrussophobia-anthology-9-july.html What’s at Stake: In his Preface to J. W. Fulbright’s book, The Arrogance of Power, Francis Wilcox describes Fulbright’s concept of “two Americas”: “One is the America of Abraham Lincoln and Adlai Stevenson, the other is the America of Theodore Roosevelt and the modern superpatriots…a dominant strand of democratic humanism and a lesser but durable strand of intolerant puritanism.” Our ask is to make sure the dominant strand prevails, but the current trend is toward “a more strident and aggressive American policy.” This warning was written in 1966.

NATO ANTHOLOGY #3, July 17, 2026
Compiled by Dick Bennett for a Culture of Peace, Justice, Ecology, and Democracy https://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2026/07/omni-nato-anthology-3-july-17-2026.html What’s at Stake: NATO is a war institution that thrives upon fear and loathing of (Soviet) Russia, normalises militarism, encourages increased military spending, diverts resources from diplomacy and human welfare into weapons. These anthologies on NATO bring activists, researchers, parliamentarians, and peace advocates from across the globe to explore the NATO crisis, the changing world order, and how we can build a future based on diplomacy, cooperation, and human security instead of war preparations CONTENTS NATO ANTHOLOGY #3 EXPANDING NATO: Early History Edward Lozansky. “How Bill Clinton […]
