Mike Pompeo and the CIA plotted to assassinate or kidnap Julian Assange for exposing US war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo. This is how lawless thugs in authoritarian states react to publication of their own crimes.
Nils Melzer had a thing or two to say in response: https://www.assangecountdowntofreedom.com/videos/65-nils-melzer

Departure November 2021, from Key West, Florida for Havana, Cuba
In the tradition of seafaring civil demonstrations against injustice, CODEPINK is sponsoring a collective of sailors that have launched an exciting new venture: a US-Cuba Friendship Flotilla that will sail from southern Florida to Cuba in November 2021. We are looking for peace-loving, humanitarian people with boats, people interested in crewing on boats, and everyone willing to contribute time, funds, and/or resources to this inspiring initiative.
There are many ways you can help the US-Cuba Friendship flotilla. Please fill out this form with details of how you can help!
If you or anyone you know would like to know more about this project, please contact Tim Liveright at the following:
Email: [email protected] | Cell phone: 609-389-1820
The flotilla will take place at a time when the Cuban people are suffering from both the pandemic, the economic consequences of shutting down their tourism industry to stop the spread of COVID, and cruel sanctions imposed by the Trump administration that President Biden has yet to overturn. The ships on the flotilla will carry medicines and other humanitarian supplies needed on the island.
The purpose of the flotilla is to show our friendship with the Cuban people, to demonstrate our opposition to U.S. sanctions (which have been consistently condemned at the United Nations by the world community), and to push the Biden administration to reverse Trump’s sanctions and begin the process of normalizing relations with Cuba.
Milwaukee County Board Supervisor Steve Shea introduced Resolution 21-826 calling for the Board to endorse the Back From the Brink “Call to Prevent Nuclear War”. Supervisor Ryan Clancy is a co-sponsor. They are both Peace Action members.
The Resolution passed on Sept 23, 13 to 2!
The resolution calls upon United States federal policymakers to step back from the brink of nuclear war by:
- Renouncing the US’ nuclear first strike or “flexible response” policy
- Removing the US’ nuclear weapons from being on “hair-trigger” or high alert
- Requiring checks and balances on the President’s current sole authority to launch nuclear weapons
- Canceling US replacement of entire nuclear arsenal with enhancements
- Actively pursuing verifiable nuclear arms reductions between nuclear States with the goal of total nuclear disarmament
- TAKE ACTION NOW and demand that the President, our two Senators and your Congressional Representatives embrace the principles of Back From The Brink as they recognize the dangers of inaction when tasked with ridding the world of these Armageddon inducing Weapons of Mass Destruction.
