(UN News)* — Tax abuse, money laundering and corruption, plague the global financial system, a high-level UN panel reported on Thursday [24 September 2020], launching an interim report that underscores the need for urgent reforms to achieve the 2030 Global Goals (SDGs).
17 Sep 2020 – This morning I heard courageous patriot and Vietnam War-era whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg interviewed on Democracy Now!.
Referring to the Afghani refugee tragedies on the Greek Island of Lesbos and elsewhere, Ellsberg said:
“Our government is responsible for the flight of 37, 000,000 refugees worldwide because of United States-initiated wars.”
And he could have added,
“The US is also responsible for the sale of the lethal weapons that militaries and mercenary soldiers use to kill, maim and terrify innocent refugees-to-be all around the world. These weapons and militaries have destroyed families, freedoms, safety, shelter, jobs, food and water supplies, which naturally means that these innocents have to leave their destroyed homelands in search of safety, food, water and a future for them and their children.”
