Corrupt Media in the U.S. and U.K. Fuel Endless Wars, Profiteering for War Manufacturers

Today the BBC, and the New York Times, are called out for their bias in news reporting, supporting Apartheid and war crimes. The endless wars, which benefit war manufacturers, of the U.S. and U.K. have resulted in endless wars, killing millions of innocent people -- women, children and elderly -- around the globe.

Today in the news, Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Harsam Zarlos told the BBC, "I refuse to answer the question because I refuse its premise."

Raytheon Missiles in Tucson is among the warmakers benefitting from U.S. government contracts, and manufacturing weapons for Israel. Raytheon formed a partnership with the Israeli defense company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

A Call for Justice and Unity After Terrorist Attack 

On Thursday, September 28, 2023, a harrowing and racially motivated incident occurred while members of the united states climate action network, members of local Tewa tribes, various Pueblos, Indigenous and Hispano community at large and Española/Rio Arriba County citizens came together for a spiritual convening/ceremony to continue to pray for a favorable resolution against the reinstallation of the Don de Oñate monument in front of the Rio Arriba County Offices.  Invoking prayers from the future to weave a bond of spiritual unity, Jacob Johns (Akimel O’otham and Hopi) a community-supported organizer and member of USCAN was not just a participant, he was invited to deepen his spiritual involvement by partaking in an overnight prayer vigil on Wednesday evening, prior to a larger gathering the next morning.

For generations, Indigenous Peoples have faced harm, death, and systemic oppression. Last week’s premeditated shooting is just another historical event in a series of systemic injustices in Indigenous history. This intentional premeditated act of violence was perpetrated against a peaceful prayer camp located at the proposed site for the reinstallation of the Oñate statue. This draws attention to the lengthy history of injustices against Indigenous Peoples by dehumanizing systems and divisive ideologies the community was protesting.
