offsite link Will Trump Ever Admit Lockdown Was a Mistake? Mon Jul 22, 2024 19:35 | Jeffrey A. Tucker
Will Trump ever admit he was wrong to back lockdown in March 2020 ? a decision that doomed America to years of crisis and sank his re-election hopes that year? Jeffrey Tucker is hopeful that truth will finally prevail.

offsite link Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius
Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

offsite link Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig
The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration. Just one problem, says David Craig: the 'fact check' gets its facts wrong. Who will guard us against the Guardian?

offsite link Biden Delayed Stepping Down as He ?Doubts Kamala? as Senior Democrats Fail to Back Her Mon Jul 22, 2024 13:19 | Will Jones
President Biden delayed stepping down in part because he doubted Kamala Harris was up to the challenge of an election battle with Donald Trump, sources have said.

offsite link The Office of Budget Intractability  Mon Jul 22, 2024 11:00 | Andrew Colllingwood
Labour has brought forward a Bill giving the Office of Budget Responsibility a "fiscal lock" over future economic policy. This is one more step in the erosion of parliamentary democracy, says Andrew Collingwood.

In Budapest Hungary: March 17, 2007 marking the fourth
anniversary of the war in Iraq...

the following is part of an english translation of a világBékejel 2007 flyer...

világBékejel:
The Living Peace Sign
website: http://www.bekejel.net


The internationally recognized symbol of peace which became hugely
popular in the 1960's, is having an on going resurgence. Throughout
the world, as part of the ongoing efforts of The Humanist Movement
promoting non-violence, the 'Human Peace Sign' has emerged.

Beginning in Budapest, Hungary, the symbolic act is being held in
cities across the planet. On March 17, 2007 marking the fourth
anniversary of the war in Iraq,
these cities will unite, each forming their own human peace signs. These events will begin with a simple
ceremony, accompanied with music and entertainment and then their
lanterns/candles/torches will be lit and they will all stand together
forming a giant peace sign.

Humans from all walks of life, religious beliefs and races will
symbolically join together, showing that their desire for peace comes
from deep within their hearts. They believe we must open the lines of
dialogue regarding any acts of war. The deaths of innocent people and
the continual build up of the nuclear arsenal of any nation, is
unacceptable.

Come join us at Hero's Square in Budapest. Assembly is on Saturday, March 17th, 5pm.

List of cities around the world in 2007

The Peace Sign was started by Hungarian Humanists

The Humanists like this guy: Mario Rodríguez Cobos

also known as 'Silo'

Today they are focusing on widening the peace movement with this effort:

Nice little gathering in Shannon happened, about 15-20 people, mostly stalwarts. It was organised by stalwart Conor Cregan. Deirdre from the Pitstop Ploughshares laid a wreath in remembrance of the war dead and said a few words; everyone else laid daffodils. A few people spoke.

The numbers who feel it necessary to remember the war dead are small, which is somewhat depressing, given Shannon is the place where the munitions go through. But it was a good ceremony and better than nothing at all. Many people have moved on, unfortunately. A combination of bandwagon jumping with some and strategic thinking with other, more committed activists. It's a terrible pity there is so little sense of urgency about keeping up the pressure around Shannon.
