The Myth of Armed Conflict By Mark M. Bello Each news alert reads like a Netflix script: a U.S. drone or fighter jet tracks a “narco-boat” somewhere off the coast of Venezuela or Colombia. A brief pursuit ensues, a missile strike, and, sometimes, a second missile — aimed not at combatants but at survivors clinging […]
By Rick Comfort You’ve probably heard of the “Emoluments Clause” of the US Constitution. It’s supposed to be one of the checks and balances of the US federal government, and applies to any person holding an “Office of Profit or Trust”and prohibits them from accepting “any present, gift, title, office or emolument of any kind” […]
By Mark M. Bello Donald Trump is now deploying his Defense Secretary, the FBI, and the Department of Justice against six Democratic Members of Congress who produced a short video reminding military service members that they must refuse unlawful orders.
