Noam Chomsky: We Must Stop War with Iran Before It's Too Late
Noam Chomsky | peoplesdispatch.org | 2020-01-04
The threat of a U.S. attack on Iran is all too real. Led by John Bolton, the Trump administration is spinning tales of Iranian misdeeds. It is easy to concoct pretexts for aggression. History provides many examples. | The assault against Iran is one element of the international program of flaunting overwhelming U.S. power to put an end to "successful defiance" of the master of the globe: the primary reason for the U.S. torture of Cuba for 60 years. | The reasoning would easily be understood by any Mafia Don. Successful defiance can inspire others to pursue the same course. The "virus" can "spread contagion," as K…

'New year shock' continues for UK rail commuters and workers

Rail commuters and workers in the UK are organizing their indignation against railway authorities in the country who they believe extort and exploit both passengers and employees with fare hikes while also suppressing workers' rights. | This year, fares increased across the board by an average of 2.7 % and commuters will have to pay as much as £132 more for their seasonal tickets in 2020. However, fare hikes have not translated into tangible benefits for rail workers who complain that the government has yet to take action over the issue of job security for railway guards, despite a months-long strike in the…
