The American Green Party intends to shut down 53 unprovoked but expanding corporate wars. The Green Party represents most Americans’ views on securing peace, delivering universal nonprofit health care, rebuilding infrastructure, reforming banks, creating a healthy environment, campaign finance reform, restrictions of corporate power, elimination of genetically modified foods, erasure of student debt, restoring functioning schools, providing four years of college and investments in a healing planet.

Important historic Background to American wars on Syria, Turkey, Ukraine, and Iraq: CIA mercenaries fight Pentagon contractors in unending wars enforcing corporate extraction.

Robert Zimmerman and Ike Eisenhower warned us. The CIA is acting against American interests: CIA-backed Islamic rebels are fighting against Pentagon-backed Kurdish rebels in Syria.

https://revolutionresource.org/2016/03/01/cia-rebels-fighting-pentagon-rebels/

Editors Note: This insanity does have some basis in U. S. Policy. In this bizarre example, the United States is arming both sides of an artificial conflict in order to sell munitions. Looks pretty much like when it comes to U. S. Foreign Policy (war and peace), transnational munitions firms are running the show.

Buzzfeed notes:

Officials with Syrian rebel battalions that receive covert backing from one arm of the U.S. government told BuzzFeed News that they recently began fighting rival rebels supported by another arm of the U.S. government.

The infighting between American proxies is the latest setback for the Obama administration’s Syria policy and lays bare its contradictions as violence in the country gets worse.

The confusion is playing out on the battlefield —
with the U.S. effectively engaged in a proxy war with itself.

*** Furqa al-Sultan Murad receives weapons from the U.S. and its allies as part of a covert program, overseen by the CIA, that aids rebel groups struggling to overthrow the government of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, according to rebel officials and analysts tracking the conflict.

Syria-CIA-Pentagon-ISIS-rebels

The Kurdish militants, on the other hand, receive weapons and support from the Pentagon as part of U.S. efforts to fight ISIS. Known as the People’s Protection Units, or YPG, they are the centerpiece of the Obama administration’s strategy against the extremists in Syria and coordinate regularly with U.S. airstrikes.

The Daily Beast also reports that U.S. allies are fighting CIA-backed rebels.

The U.S. is supporting the Kurds, who are the best on-the-ground fighters against ISIS … yet America’s close ally Turkey is trying to wipe out the Kurds. Moreover, the U.S., Turkey and Saudi Arabia are all using the Incerlik air base in Adana, Turkey, on the border with Syria to launch military operations in Syria.

The U.S. is using Incerlik to support the Kurds, but Turkey is using the exact same air base to bomb the Kurds.

In addition, the U.S. is supporting Shia Muslims in Iraq … but supporting their arch-enemy – Sunnis Muslims – in neighboring Syria.

And the U.S. claims to be fighting the war on terror against the exact same groups –ISIS and Al Qaeda – that our closest allies support.

Absolutely insane …

Unless the U.S. is really pursuing an agenda in which chaos is the goal.

Am working on a tribute page for Leon Redbone

First became fascinated with his music back in the seventies and eighties when living in Southern California.

https://youtu.be/cxNw1WAEvTE?list=RDcxNw1WAEvTE

Musician, songwriter, arranger, producer (1949-2019)

Leon Redbone was a singer-songwriter and musician specializing in jazz, blues, and Tin Pan Alley classics. Recognized by his hat, dark sunglasses, and black tie, he was born in Cyprus of Armenian ancestry and first appeared on stage in Toronto, Canada, in the early 1970s.

Birth name Dickran Gobalian

Born August 26, 1949, Nicosia, British Cyprus

Age at death 69 years

Live performance of "Walking Stick" by Leon Redbone at the 1973 Buffalo Folk Festival.

Leon Redbone performing “My Walking Stick” live at the 1973 Buffalo Folk Festival.

LONG WAY FROM HOME collects 18 tracks, the first eight of which are from a live performance at the end of 1972 at the University of Buffalo's coffee house. Dave Benders recorded the remaining 10 songs for a 1972 radio session for the University's WBFO. The compilation - comprising typically distinctive Redbone renditions of Tin Pan Alley and ragtime favorites - marks the first ever official release of these important early recordings, a milestone in the enigmatic singer-guitarist's idiosyncratic creative development.

ON THE TRACK is among the most remarkable debut albums of 1975 or any other year, a reverent and remarkably authentic revival of late 19th century and early 20th century popular music, spanning Roaring Twenties radio ditties, Depression-era ragtime, the folk-jazz of World War II, and still-sung favorites by songwriters like Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael & Johnny Mercer, Fats Waller, Al Dubin & Harry Warren, Lonnie Johnson, and Jimmie Rodgers. The album - which sees Redbone accompanied by such studio luminaries as drummer Steve Gadd, percussionist Ralph MacDonald, and the great double bassist Milt Hinton - was an across-the-board success, reaching #83 on Billboard's overall "Top LPs & Tape" chart amidst widespread critical acclaim. TMR's exclusive vinyl reissue of ON THE TRACK comes in a 12" single pocket, direct-to-board replica of the original Warner Bros. Records release, with classic cover art featuring a Chuck Jones illustration of Merrie Melodies star Michigan J. Frog.

Leon Redbone - is a true original, a one of a kind singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose imitable interpretations of turn of the 20th century music have affirmed him as both Invaluable curator and resounding pop pioneer. Redbone began performing in Toronto more than four decades ago, earning the approval of such notables as Bob Dylan, The Lovin' Spoonful's John Sebastian, and famed producer John Hammond. Immediately iconic in his trademark Panama hat and dark sunglasses, Redbone proved an exceptional star, known far and wide via laconic performances on Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and A Prairie Home Companion. His remarkable work in the years since encompass a stunning range of creative output - 13 studio albums, sold out live performances around the globe, multiple TV themes, countless commercials, voiceovers, and a memorable duet with Zooey Deschanel of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" featured in the 2003 holiday blockbuster, Elf. Throughout, Redbone's greatest contribution has been his undying championship of America's musical heritage, his singular talent introducing generation after generation to a still potent folk tradition.
