Presently, U.S. media is doing a great job of manufacturing consent. U.S. propaganda is extremely effective at shifting public opinion to favor going to war, by purposely misleading and deceiving the public. In the case of Ukraine, U.S. media is overlooking the far-right and blatant neo-Nazi tendencies of popular movements that the U.S. installed government has allowed to flourish. A U.S. war with Russia will not benefit the masses of innocent Ukrainian people who will suffer in wartime. U.S. and NATO are instigating a war that ultimately only benefits those who financially invest in war and will expand the reach of NATO’s imperialist projects.
The press conference will be livestreamed on the International Leonard Peltier Defense Committee Facebook page. Please join us at 1pm on January 31st.
Crisis capitalism has caused immense destruction of ecosystems, hunger, pain, and death at the planetary level. Therefore the basis of this economic necropolity must be transformed from the nihilism of the egotistical individual to a life-caring, solidarity-based economy. Humanity is not to blame for this crisis—certainly not the environmental catastrophes—since it is the 1% that hold the biggest economic power over the 99% of us. The top tier of the neoliberal capitalist system and their absurd rampant greed, having accumulated riches we couldn’t even fathom, are the responsible parties behind this civilizational crisis poisoning entire regions, causing millions to be sick and dispossessed victims of capitalist looting.
The illegal and reprehensible encroachment on Indigenous lands continues today by destructive extractive industries in partnership with complicit governments. The encroachment continues in violation of our human rights and our right to free, prior and informed consent. The destruction continues with full knowledge or ignorance of the irreversible harm being executed on the planet and the poisoning of the future of the world’s grandchildren for the sake of profit and greed.
We are children of our Mother Earth, and as such we must take care of her and protect her, respecting her rights and fulfilling our duties and obligations to protect Mother Earth as a living and sacred being.
Our age-old worldviews and ways of life, in complementarity with Mother Earth, are strengths capable of supporting other countries, other peoples of the world in resisting the force of neocolonization.
We call upon the people of the world whose genuine representatives are present in this meeting to be on alert since the struggle of a single group of people is the common struggle of all peoples around the world; in the same way that defending the rights to Mother Earth is defending the lives of all peoples.
