#nuclear-war
SGS developed a new simulation for a plausible escalating war between the #United-States and #Russia using realistic nuclear force postures, targets and fatality estimates. It is estimated that there would be more than 90 million people dead and injured within the first few hours of the conflict.

This project is motivated by the need to highlight the potentially catastrophic consequences of current US and Russian nuclear war plans.

RFK Jr.’s Message of Peace

On October 1, 1960, then-senator John F. Kennedy addressed the Polish American Congress in Chicago. Commenting on the limitations of, as he called it, “the policy of liberation,” #JFK stated: “We do not want to mislead the people of #Poland or #Hungary again, that the #United-States is prepared to liberate them. Therefore, within the general framework of present events, what policies should we carry out? What can we do to maintain the spirit of independence? What can we do to help, in Thomas Jefferson's words, the disease of liberty to spread? Poland is a satellite government, but the Poles are not a satellite people. We have no right, unless we are prepared to meet our commitments, to incite them to national suicide.” And while he did not advocate for abandoning Poland to the whims of the overlords in Moscow, the future president clearly understood how harmful a policy of building up expectations of the Americans “coming to the rescue” can be in Eastern Europe and preferred a policy of cautious realism.

All hell is breaking loose in #Baghdad
The Presidential palace has been stormed. A total curfew has been put in place. Kataib Hezbollah, a high level cleric, withdrew from politics citing too much corruption and compliance with the United States and that set something off. Before doing so he set up an army of 1500 militants. So this could get huge. Who knows who that cleric really is, he could actually be an Israeli sleeper.

Word on the street is that this move is to #expel the #United-states from #Iraq. The US still had a green zone set up there, which this cleric wants to do away with. My guess is that the cleric was a sleeper who could be activated to kick off a war when needed, you know - at the ballot box. That's what this sudden development is all about, BET ON IT.

The US lied and said it did not evacuate the embassy. It is known the US lied because this surfaced, and it shows them evacuating top people with a helicopter.

US: Dismantle Structures of Racism Now

UN Review of US Record on Racial Justice Should Prompt White House Action

https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/08/08/us-dismantle-structures-racism-now

The negative effects of these policies include:\
\
The average white family in the US has roughly eight times the wealth of the average Black family, and white college graduates have over seven times more wealth than Black college graduates.\
\
Almost two million people are locked up across the United States, with Black people imprisoned at a rate three times higher than white people. Black women are imprisoned at 1.7 times the rate of white women.\
\
Discrimination in enforcement of US immigration laws, including the US criminal re-entry statute, which a federal judge found was “enacted with discriminatory purpose” and would not have been enacted absent racial animus, continues unabated.\
\
In 2020, the US had an estimated 580,000 unhoused people, 39 percent of whom were Black, even though Black people are only 12 percent of the US total population.\
\
Though Black and white people use drugs at similar rates, Black people are imprisoned for drug crimes at five times the rate of white people.\
\
Police in the US continue to kill Indigenous, Latinx, and Black people at significantly higher rates, as much as 350 percent more frequently, than white people. Even greater racial disparities attend nonfatal uses of force by police.
