Sam Husseini Explains UN Votes BLOCKED by Imperialist and how South Africa Was REMOVED

#uspolitics #RBNLIVE #RevolutionaryBlackoutNetwork #geopolitics #Trump #UN #zionism #colonialism #palestine


Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video discusses the US's veto power in the UN Security Council, particularly regarding resolutions for a ceasefire in Gaza, and advocates for the use of the "Uniting for Peace" mechanism in the General Assembly to bypass the Security Council's gridlock.

Key Points:

  • US Vetoes: The US has repeatedly vetoed ceasefire resolutions in the Security Council regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict, even very mild ones. The speaker argues the US is a "full partner" in the alleged genocide.
  • Complicity: The speaker suggests that while the US is a major player, much of the world is complicit in the situation due to inaction.
  • Uniting for Peace: The speaker advocates for using the "Uniting for Peace" mechanism, which allows the General Assembly to take action when the Security Council is deadlocked due to a veto.
  • Historical Examples: The video cites two historical examples of "Uniting for Peace" being used effectively:
    • Apartheid South Africa: In the 1980s, the General Assembly passed a resolution calling for sanctions against South Africa, despite US vetoes in the Security Council. This helped lead to the end of apartheid.
    • Suez Canal Crisis (1956): The General Assembly, with the US and Soviet Union's support, deployed peacekeeping troops and forced Britain, France, and Israel to withdraw from Egypt.
  • Potential Actions: The speaker suggests the General Assembly could impose sanctions, implement an arms embargo, suspend Israel from the General Assembly (as was done with apartheid South Africa), and call for a peacekeeping force.
  • Upcoming Meeting: There is an upcoming meeting at the General Assembly with a resolution drafted by Spain, but its effectiveness is uncertain.

Highlights:

  • The speaker strongly condemns the US's use of its veto power to block ceasefire resolutions.
  • The video emphasizes the potential of the "Uniting for Peace" mechanism as a tool for the General Assembly to take meaningful action when the Security Council is paralyzed.
  • The historical examples of South Africa and the Suez Canal Crisis provide concrete illustrations of the power of the General Assembly when acting through "Uniting for Peace".

Let's Talk About a General STRIKE, Afeni Evans & Christian Smalls Join

#usa #america #general #generalstrike #strike #union #amazon #corporations #demands #healthcare #housing #home #house #education #college #wars #Trump #DonaldTrump #DOGE #workers #labor #letstalk


Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The necessity of a general strike in the United States to address economic inequality, political corruption, and the erosion of workers' rights.

Key Points:

  • The Current State of Affairs: The discussion highlights the increasing wealth inequality, the influence of billionaires on both major political parties, and the failure of electoral politics to address the needs of the working class. The panelists argue that the current political system is unresponsive to the needs of the people and that a general strike is the only viable option for systemic change.
  • The Need for a General Strike: A general strike is presented as a necessary tactic to leverage the power of the working class against the oligarchy. The panelists emphasize that withholding labor is the ultimate power workers possess.
  • Obstacles and Challenges: The conversation addresses the low union density in the US, the complicity of some union leaders in supporting establishment politicians, and the need for mutual aid to support workers during a strike. Concerns are raised about the potential violent response from the government to a general strike.
  • Mutual Aid and Preparation: The importance of mutual aid and community building is stressed. Panelists encourage viewers to get to know their neighbors, develop essential skills (e.g., food production, water filtration), and build community resilience in preparation for a potential strike or societal disruption.
  • The Role of Politics and Political Parties: The panelists are highly critical of both the Democratic and Republican parties, viewing them as equally beholden to the billionaire class. They argue that relying on electoral politics alone is futile and that a general strike is necessary to bypass the established political system.
  • The Threat of AI and Automation: The potential impact of AI and automation on jobs and the economy is discussed, further emphasizing the urgency of a general strike to address the changing nature of work and the potential for increased worker displacement.
  • International Perspectives: The panelists encourage viewers to learn from the experiences of other countries with stronger labor movements and social safety nets, suggesting that traveling abroad and observing different political systems can broaden perspectives.
  • Next Steps: The panelists outline steps to prepare for a general strike, including building community relationships, developing essential skills, and engaging in grassroots organizing. They emphasize the importance of in-person organizing and building trust within communities.

Highlights:

  • The passionate and insightful contributions of Afeni Evans and Christian Smalls, offering unique perspectives on organizing and activism.
  • The frank discussion of the potential for violence and the need for strategic planning and preparation.
  • The call for a shift away from reliance on electoral politics and towards direct action.
  • The emphasis on building community resilience and mutual aid as crucial components of a successful general strike.

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video is a roundtable discussion centered on the influence of money in politics, specifically focusing on the concept of corporate personhood and the need for constitutional amendments to address it. The discussion also touches upon the role of media, the influence of the Israeli lobby (AIPAC), and the broader implications of corporate power for social justice.

Key Points:

  • Corporate Personhood: The core argument revolves around the idea that corporations should not be granted the same constitutional rights as human beings. The panel discusses the legal precedents (Citizens United, Buckley v. Valeo) that have led to this situation and the negative consequences for democracy.
  • Move to Amend: Keon Bliss from Move to Amend introduces their campaign to pass a constitutional amendment (H.J. Res. 54, the “We the People Amendment”) that would explicitly state that corporations are not people and money is not speech. They discuss the challenges of passing such an amendment and the pushback they face from established power structures.
  • Media Blackout: The panel highlights the significant media blackout surrounding the issue of corporate personhood, arguing that corporate-owned media outlets largely ignore or downplay the issue.
  • AIPAC Influence: Margaret Kimberley and other panelists discuss the significant influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in American politics, highlighting how its financial power shapes political outcomes and silences dissenting voices.
  • Political Solutions: The discussion explores various avenues for addressing the problem, including constitutional amendments, state-level initiatives, and grassroots organizing. The panelists emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach that leaves no loopholes.
  • Grassroots Organizing: The importance of grassroots movements and mutual aid networks is stressed as a crucial element in challenging corporate power and building alternative systems.
  • Liberalism and Fascism: The panelists argue that liberalism, as it currently exists, often fails to effectively challenge corporate power and can even inadvertently pave the way for fascism.

Highlights:

  • The passionate and insightful contributions of Margaret Kimberley, offering critical analysis of the political landscape and the role of the Israeli lobby.
  • Keon Bliss's detailed explanation of Move to Amend's strategy and the legal arguments surrounding corporate personhood.
  • The lively and engaging discussion among the panelists, covering a wide range of related issues.
  • The emphasis on grassroots organizing and building alternative systems as a means of challenging corporate power.

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The discussion centers on the early weeks of the Trump administration, focusing on its foreign policy decisions (particularly regarding the Ukraine conflict and Israel/Palestine), and the implications of its actions for free speech and dissent in the United States.

Key Points:
