The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

THE 50TH COLONY

Tomorrow I fly to Honolulu, Hawaii to speak at the International Forum on Globalization conference on People of the Asia-Pacific. I will speak on a panel called: Militarization & Resistance in the Pacific. Obviously I will talk about the Jeju Island Navy base fight but will also put that effort into the larger strategic picture of U.S. military attempts to contain China.

There will be a great batch of speakers at this event and they are paying my travel there. It should be a great experience.

I lived on the island of Oahu for 15 months in 1973-74 while in the Air Force. I spent alot of time in the water while living in Hawaii and was lucky I never drowned when body surfing in the big waves on the north shore.

Hawaii has been a U.S. military colony and a corporate agri-business plantation for many years. But the independence movement there has been strong for a long time and appears to be growing. Here is a video from the movement.

Brilliant communication strategy. I am going to find time to watch all of these, not only for the info, but to find out why they are so effective.
