WELCOME TO DWF NEWS & WORLD PUBLIC INTEREST JOURNALISM


DWF NEWS attempts to identify obstacles to world peace and for the establishment of an urgently needed democratic world federation (e.g., "new UN" under the Earth Constitution). An example is the U.S. government defying international law while seeking world domination, or Israel's delusional claim to have title to the Promised Land. Religious extremists are a major obstacle to world peace when they mistakenly accept harmful (evil) concepts as "good" because someone declared them to be "sacred" coming from God. Armageddon ideology actually encourages war over peace.


The vast Good that can be drawn from religion is too often contaminated by the bad when immoral death and destruction is justified citing certain so-called "sacred" scriptures which in reality might as well have been written by Satan, the great trickster.

How to Abolish Nuclear War

Assessing Humanity’s Right to Global Nuclear Disarmament

A Nagasaki Day Panel with Experts


9:00am EST • Friday, August 9, 2024

The Doomsday Clock has never been so close to midnight. We now face the unprecedented danger of a new Nagasaki or Hiroshima, especially in Ukraine. Why can’t we control this scourge after so many decades of UN-sponsored treaties between nation-states?


Asserting Humanity’s Sovereign Right to Peace

In view of this peril, we are convening a visionary panel to reframe the discussion. We can no long base nuclear-war prevention on unenforceable agreements between so-called sovereign nation-states. Instead, we propose that humanity’s sovereignty take center stage.

 

Establishing a World Constitution that Abolishes War

It’s time to set aside the dangerous illusion of unlimited national sovereignty. The Earth Constitution, completed in 1991 after 23 years of effort, asserts humanity’s democratic right to manage world affairs and live in a world free of the threat of nuclear annihilation. It enshrines human sovereignty, which supersedes the obsolete model of great powers fighting for hegemony.

 

Introducing Our Campaign for a Governed World

In this special Nagasaki Day event, we introduce the founding organizations of the World Democracy Campaign, whose leaders will argue that the UN system is defaulting in the face of the greatest challenge facing humanity. In this rare discussion, we will present a new paradigm that enshrines an era of peace through enforceable world law.

Messiah Mania By Radical Zionists, Christians & Muslims Threatens World Peace

Rich Scheck     DWF NEWS


Please listen carefully to Colonel Wilkerson to understand more fully the dynamics threatening world peace:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDkEYb-TXJVWLvOokshtlsw (minute 5+) 


As Frank Herbert declared in Dune: "It's the prophecies that enslave us!" That dramatic pronouncement captures the essence of the radical thinking that under girds the Messiah Mania that consumes fundamentalists in all three Abrahamic faiths.

 

This sad truth virtually guarantees WW3 is in the offing as these sects compete to complete an Armaggedon scenario that fulfills various prophecies promising the return of the Messiah, Imam or Christ to govern the Earth.

 

It's a Theocracy these folks want, not Democracy or any other form of secular government to rule over us with death to all those who fail to embrace their perspective.

 

It's this type of thinking that allows for someone like Smotrich to feel no compunction for allowing 2 million Palestinians in Gaza to be starved to death in pursuit of their goals and echoes the high comfort level of ISIS fighters who gleefully behead non-believers.

Clearly it is the prophecies that are enslaving these leaders to behave according to fixed ideas from their bibles. Bibi himself is under direct orders by Rebbe Schneerson to accelerate the return of Moshiach from their first meeting in New York in 1990  https://stateofthenation.co/?p=243769

 

How much more proof do we need than that exchange between Netanyahu and this long-dead Rabbi who chastised him for not doing more to insure the Messiah's early return in fulfillment of prophecy?

Christian Zionists and many Muslims have parallel views that keep them adapting self-destructive policies which lay the foundation for perpetual wars in the name of God and Country.

 

The world must quickly move past this suicidal fanaticism that threatens global destruction with the Sampson Option now more imminent than ever as Israel's provocations against Iran and Lebanon have us all facing nuclear annihilation.

Has the US essentially become a Jewish State?

Does US Foreign Aid to Religious States Violate the Establishment Clause?

Rich Scheck THE INTEL DROP

EXCERPTS

 Israel defines itself as a Jewish State. Many of its orthodox want to establish it as a theocracy which accounts for the on-going struggles within that country between its secular, democratic forces and those Jews who adhere to the messianic beliefs embedded in their interpretation of Torah.

 

I believe that the inclusion of the religious establishment clause by the Founders along with the prohibition against religious tests for office holders is tantamount to a bar on foreign aid to countries that define themselves as religious states.

 

And to the extent Christian Zionists in the US like John Hagee and Speaker Johnson have come to dominate the public discourse with their strong attachment to biblical doctrines promoting Israel as God’s Chosen Land, we have essentially created a Jewish State here in the US with DC being the Western Capital of Greater Israel.

"Well What SHOULD Israel Have Done After October 7?"

Caitlin Johstone

EXCERPTS

People often object to criticisms of Israel’s ongoing mass atrocity in Gaza by saying, “Well what SHOULD Israel have done in response to October 7 then?” They say it like the question should confound you, as though it’s some kind of thought-terminating unanswerable Zen koan or something.

 

But it isn’t. The question is very answerable, and the most correct answer is that Israel should have done what it always should have done: right the wrongs of the past and make peace.

 

October 7 was entirely a response to generations of abuse against the Palestinian people by the state of Israel, so the correct response to it would have been to heal those abuses in a way that is agreeable to the Palestinians.


This would likely include ceding large amounts of land, the payment of very extensive reparations from Israel (and ideally from its wealthy western allies as well), eliminating all unjust laws and apartheid systems, a comprehensive push to purge society of the toxins of anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia, the right of Palestinians in exile to return to their homeland, and the negotiation of a peace agreement which yields so much that even the most hardline factions in Palestinian society would be compelled to agree with it.

'The Problem Is, There's No Place for Anyone to Go'

Janine Jackson     FAIR

Janine Jackson interviewed Food Not Bombs’ Keith McHenry about criminalizing homelessness for the August 2, 2024, episode of CounterSpin. This is a lightly edited transcript.

 

EXCERPTS

 

KM: Yeah, there was just a person arrested in Dayton, Ohio, for feeding the homeless there. In San Francisco, we were arrested a thousand times. I did 500 days in jail, and ultimately faced 25 to life in prison, when the city was so frustrated they eventually framed me on things that I never did. I also did 18 days personally in Orlando, Florida, for feeding the homeless at Lake Eola Park.


Fortunately, Food Not Bombs has pushed back across the country in that regard, and we won an appeals case in Florida, which ruled that sharing free food is a First Amendment–protected right. And the Dayton, Ohio, people are using that case to defend themselves.


And then we also have found in Houston, where we were ticketed nearly a hundred times, at $2,000- a-time fines, that they could not find a jury that thought it was reasonable to convict someone and force them to pay money for feeding the homeless. So they've kind of generally dropped that case. So we're having some good fortune pushing back. READ MORE

God, Jesus & Christianity not mentioned in the Constitution

The American Inquisition

Fritz Pointer   DWF NEWS

“America…where war became peace and genocide patriotism” - Nikki Giovani

After centuries of lies, from the White/Christian/Zionist West, questioning Indigenous/African Americans’ very humanity (treating people like cattle), holding up their cultures and beliefs to ridicule; using the Bible (now Torah) as justification for genocide (in the U.S. and now in Palestine)- using the same childish and irrational statements about “God gave us this land” - only the ignorant and willfully naïve would think that we would shout the praises of such barbaric behavior, by such uncivilized people. Proof of the subtitle is the 25 standing ovations by the US Congress for the July 2024 speech given by the convicted war-criminal (convicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of Genocide) Bibi “Satanyahu”.

 

Now, as The Heritage Foundations’ Project 2025 prepares to bring about The American Inquisition, much like The Spanish Inquisition (see notes) where religious faith and loyalty to Christianity (Zionism) is a litmus test for value of one’s humanity; for employment, especially government employment, school funding and even health care will be allocated only with an adherence to Biblical precepts and nonsense turned into laws.

 

Media Matters states: “Project 2025 aims to put Christianity at the center of American government and society by turning a Biblical worldview into federal law, often employing Christian nationalist talking points and narratives to support its right-wing policy proposals.” In addition, “Project 2025 is partnered with the Center for Renewing America, the primary Christian nationalist political organization in the U.S.”

 

It is first important to note that the words, God, Jesus and Christianity are not mentioned in The Constitution. What is taking place in the U.S. now is in direct opposition to, and not at all what Founding Fathers like Thomas Jefferson had in mind. Jefferson, like many other of the early leaders of the U.S., were committed to what is commonly called a secular state. Basing his views on the establishment clause of the First Amendment, Jefferson emphasized that there should not just be a “separation of church and state,” but that there should be “a wall of separation” that clearly limited the involvement of religious denominations and religious leaders in matters of national governance.

 

Well, in the United States, that “wall” has become wide-open, ceiling to floor double-doors, admitting all manner of religious zealots, cultists, evangelicals, preachers, rabbis, imams, etc. For example, this absolutely idiotic, stupid question that Republican Congressman, Rick Allen asked Columbia University President, Nemat Shafik:: “Are you familiar with Genesis 12:3”? He goes on, “It was a covenant that God made with Abraham: that covenant was real clear, ‘if you bless Israel, I will bless you. If you curse Israel, I will curse you.’ You don’t want to be cursed by God, do you?” And they were and are yet being blessed with billions of dollars in U.S. citizens’ taxpayer money.

 

I would respond to Congressman Allen by asking if he’s familiar with the quote John 8:44 found in The Bible, in which Jesus states to the Jewish people, “You (Jews) are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

 

China’s litmus test for government service is the very opposite of the U.S. That is, an “ordinary” Chinese citizen cannot be a member of the Chinese Government if he or she has joined “any religion.” Now this, to me, is the pure beauty and absolute essence of the Separation of Church and State.

 

The Government’s view is that religion is a temporary historical phenomenon that will disappear as societies advance. Although this stance has not changed in the seven decades since the state’s founding, policies on the ground have constantly evolved. For example, the current constitution of the People’s Republic of China, adopted in 1982, states that ordinary Chinese citizens enjoy “freedom of religious beliefs.” They cannot, however, bring their religious beliefs into the Chinese Government. America is not just “going backward” it is “running backwards” with Project 2025.  Back to the 12th century.

Note:

The Holy Inquisition began in 1184 under Pope Lucius III. It is the story of how the church transformed Jesus’ message of loving one’s neighbor and turning the other cheek into a doctrine of murder, pillage and plunder:

  • In the interest of saving your soul, a coal brazier will be placed beneath your bare feet, slowly roasting them. Because you don’t believe that Jesus is the Son of God, your flesh will be continually larded with fat to keep it from burning too quickly. Or you may be bound to a bench, with a cauldron fill with mice placed upside-down on your bare abdomen. With the requisite application of heat to the iron, the mice will begin to burrow into your belly in search of an exit.
  • We know how the “Evangelicals” love the book of Deuteronomy that enjoins them to murder homosexuals and anyone in their midst, even members of their own families who profess sympathy for foreign gods (Deuteronomy 17:12-13).
  • More good-ole Jewish compassion and love: If you hear in one of the towns “Let us go and serve other gods…you must put the inhabitants of that town to the sword (today, for example in Palestine, that would be bombs, missiles and killer drones); you must lay it under the curse of destruction – the town and everything in it…offering it all to Yahweh your God.”(Deuteronomy 13:12-16).
