Withdrawing US Troops From Afghanistan Is Only A Start
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-03-07
In recent months talk of withdrawing troops from Afghanistan has increased once again. It's not the first time during the course of the nearly two-decades-long war that we've heard this, and at several points since the war began in 2001, some troops have actually been withdrawn. But somehow, almost 20 years in, there still isn't very much talk about what it will actually take to end US actions that kill civilians. We hear talk about the "forever wars," of which Afghanistan is of course the longest, but not much about what their first perpetrator, President George W. Bush, named the "Global War on Terror" (GWOT)[m…

#BlackLivesMatter — But to Whom?
_____ | strategic-culture.org | 2021-03-07
Western "big pharma" profit imperative and patent controls inevitably mean that poor countries will always be last on the list to receive supplies of vaccines on a consumer-commodity basis. The wealthier nations are as usual taking the lion's share. Some estimate that at present rate, it won't be until 2024 when African nations will be fully inoculated.

Ending Private Prisons Is Not Enough
_____ | popularresistance.org | 2021-03-07
President Joe Biden, by executive order, directed the Department of Justice to end its private prison use. It's a step in the right direction and a symbolic moment for this administration to say they are going to take criminal justice reform seriously. While this step decouples the federal government's relationship with private prisons, let's remember that such institutions hold just about 9% of the federal prison population — a little more than 14,000 people. | Profit from incarcerated people doesn't meet the moral standards of justice. However, private prisons aren't even where the biggest profits exist.
