The News Never Stops
(May 02, 2024
My life has changed pretty dramatically since I started working full-time as the News Editor of Antiwar.com back in 2020. I started out in a studio apartment in Brooklyn and now live in an old farmhouse in rural Virginia (far from Washington DC).
The way I look at the world has also changed quite a bit since my wife Alison and I had our two boys, Dave and Tim (literally the coolest kids ever). The future has never mattered more to me. I have also rediscovered my Catholic faith, which fits well with being a professional opponent of war.
Act Now To Save Ukrainian Peace Activist From Prosecution
We’ve just learned that the office of the prosecutor and the “security service” of Ukraine have published press releases claiming to have put a stop to the activities of the “vicious Russian propagandist Yurii Sheliazhenko.”
This is, of course, very strange because Yurii, a Board Member of World BEYOND War, has — like World BEYOND War — denounced and opposed Russian warmaking from Day 1.
Yurii Sheliazhenko has been formally charged by the Ukrainian government with the crime of justifying Russian aggression. The evidence is this statement which explicitly condemns Russian aggression.
Will Lloyd Austin Speak Truth on Afghanistan?
Afghanistan: Stay or Go? The final decision will depend largely on whether Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin can face down white White House armchair warriors allergic to „losing“ wars already long lost, as well as arms makers profiteering on the ones that drag on for decades.
Antiwar.com Spendenaktion
(7.11.2019) In den letzten acht Jahren haben wir von Antiwar.com gegen das FBI gekämpft. Im Jahr 2011 fanden wir heraus, dass das FBI Antiwar.com wegen „Verbindungen zu ausländischen Unternehmen oder Terroristen“ untersuchte.
Vor einigen Wochen entschied das 9. Bundesberufungsgericht der USA einstimmig, dass diese Untersuchung unberechtigt war und dass die im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung gesammelten Unterlagen vernichtet werden müssen. Die Electronic Frontier Foundation bezeichnete es einen „Sieg“ für Journalisten und Aktivisten im ganzen Land. Sie haben Recht.
Justin Raimondo, RIP (1951-2019)
When Justin was six, he was, in his own words, „a wild child.“ This will surprise no one who knows him. In „Cold War Comfort,“ which he wrote for Chronicles Magazine, he tells how he dashed out of his first-grade class with his teacher chasing him. Because this was a daily occurrence, he writes, he was sent to a prominent New York psychiatrist named Dr. Robert Soblen. Just this decade, Justin got his hands on Soblen’s notes on his case and learned that Soblen had concluded that Justin was schizophrenic. Soblen’s reason? Justin was Catholic, claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary, and believed in miracles.

We lost a good man
A Personal Message From Justin Raimondo
I have been gravely ill with fourth stage lung cancer for two years, fighting to not only survive physically but as a voice for Antiwar.com. A good way to bring myself down to earth is with an old Italian recipe and chat with the neighbors. They don‘t make make ’em like that any more. And I have brought plenty of that principled nonintervention stuff to you, our readers.
My neighbors are so kind and open hearted. That‘s how I think of my readers – like neighbors, old friends, many of whom I haven‘t seen or talked to in a while. Well, I‘m still, folks, still writing and hanging in there. Life goes on: I must write this fundraising pitch as the site continues to grow and reach more people. I may not be the best fundraiser, but I think you understand the spirit in which I write this note.
With Venezuela, Russia, the conflation of multiple „crises“ breaking out, this letter is not a panic but a way to reconnect in a personal way with my readers, steadfast and loyal supporters.
You are the reason I must continue my personal and ideological fight.
Please help me win this fight.
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Antiwar.com!
Sie, die Leser und Unterstützer, haben mir das beste Geschenk meines Lebens gemacht. Ohne Sie würde Antiwar.com nicht existieren. Und dieses Geschenk gibt es immer wieder. Aber das wahre Geschenk betrifft nicht mich, es ist das Geschenk an die Welt, die Arbeit gegen die Schrecken des Krieges und die Arbeit für den Frieden.
Happy Birthday to Antiwar.com (and me)
The World Wide Web opened an exciting new world with the potential to revolutionize communication. I decided to start an antiwar website. I did some checking and, what do you know? Antiwar.com was available!
Wie – und warum – wir machen, was wir tun
Warum tun wir das? Warum sollte jemand so etwas tun? Hinter vielen, vielen Todesfällen stehen zahlreiche Geschichten. Viele sind Geschichten von lebenden atmenden Menschen, genau wie du und ich. Es sind Menschen mit Hoffnungen, Träumen und Familien, die sie geschätzt haben. Viele von ihnen waren nie eine Bedrohung für die Gesundheit oder Sicherheit eines US-Bürgers irgendwo in der Welt.
Was mich betrifft, so habe ich keine Toleranz für Brutalität.
