Remarks in Chicago on the 87th anniversary of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, 27 August, 2015
Thank you very much for inviting me here and thank you to Kathy Kelly for everything she does and thank you to Frank Goetz and everyone involved in creating this essay contest and keeping it going.

Environmentalist Writer Claims Military Saves Lives
23 Aug 2015; posted by the editor - Features, Environment

By David Swanson
Jeremy Deaton seems to be a fine writer on the subject of climate change right up until he stumbles across the propaganda of the U.S. military. I highlight this as the latest example of something that is so typical as to be nearly universal. This is a pattern across major environmental groups, environmental books, and environmentalists by the thousands. In fact, it's in no way limited to environmentalists, it's just that in the case of environmentalism, blindness to the damage done by the U.S. military is particularly dramatic in its impact.

Most Disgusting Game Ever
20 Aug 2015; posted by the editor - Opinion

By David Swanson
No, I’m not referring to the U.S. election. I’m referring to Bycatch. The name refers not to fish accidentally caught and killed while trying to catch and kill other fish, but to humans murdered in a game in which the player hopes to murder certain other humans but knows that he or she stands a good chance of murdering some bycatch.

09 Aug 2015; posted by the editor - Korea

By David Swanson
After marking the destruction of Nagasaki and the police-murder of Michael Brown in Ferguson on 9 August, Americans have options for what to commemorate on 10 Augusth. I'm inclined to think that 10 August should be formally recognized as Gulf of Tonkin War Fraud Day. But I'm not sure, because another event is in even more need of remembrance.
