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

Should cities/states fund the war machine?



Regis Tremblay just finished his 29-minute video about the effort in Maine to defeat LD1781, a $60 Million tax giveaway to General Dynamics/Bath Iron Works, builder of Navy destroyers.

It shares the broader story of the three-month campaign and features teacher/activist Lisa Savage and Bruce Gagnon along with Regis telling the tale.

We are proud that we forced General Dynamics/BIW to work for their welfare check.

The military industrial complex is attempting to normalize the notion that cities and states should have to help pay for endless war.  If we allow that to happen then say good-bye to all social progress and environmental funding.

See an article by journalist Alex Nunes on a similar effort by GD to extract millions from Rhode Island and Connecticut here
