We are confronted by militarism/war (Razorback red) and by warming, and we must SAY NO to both. That’s easy at UAF, because its motto is Veritate Duce Progredi: To Advance with Truth as Our Leader. There (the university not the AAA) we can learn to question myths and propaganda, not the glorification of wars and warriors.
OMNI is a voice and arm of the international peace movement. Why? For a citizen of the United States, the best reason is that not one of its wars is justifiable, was necessary. OMNI’s numerous newsletters assemble the evidence, and this newsletter is its latest contribution. -DB

Hidden History : the Secret Origins of the First World War . Gerry Docherty and Jim MacGregor. Edinburgh Mainstream, 2013. 463 pages. Illustrated edition.
- Exposes those responsible for the First World War. This book reveals how accounts of the war's origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of rich and powerful men in London responsible for the heinous crime perpetrated on humanity.
- The history of the First World War is a deliberately concocted lie. Not the sacrifice, the heroism, the horrendous waste of life or the misery that followed. No, these were very real, but the truth of how it all began and how it was unnecessarily and deliberately prolonged beyond I9I5 has been successfully covered up for a century. Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible, revealing how accounts of the war's origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for one of the most heinous crimes perpetrated on humanity. For ten years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as the first stage of their plan to take control of the world. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was no chance happening--it lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St. Petersburg to that cabal in London. Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in a web of falsehood and duplicity carefully constructed by the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by compliant historians ever since. The official version is fatally flawed, warped by the volume of evidence they destroyed or concealed from public view. Hidden History poses a tantalizing challenge. The authors ask only that you examine the evidence they lay before you.--Adapted from book jacket.

Rev. in The War Crimes Times (Fall 2014) (Veterans for Peace).
Tom Cahill. “Historians and Journalists on Trial.” P. 12. “The true cause of the ‘Great War’ revealed. The authors have challenged the historians and journalists who have whored themselves to the financiers, politicians, industrialists, and military brass hats and their camp followers who have forever profited from the misfortune of others.”
“If you read only one book on World War I, read Jack Beatty’s The Lost History of 1914: Reconsidering the Year the Great War Began.“
In The Lost History of 1914, Jack Beatty offers a highly original view of World War I, testing against fresh evidence the long-dominant assumption that it was inevitable.
Other US wars falsely defended or glorified:
World War II, read Ted Grimsrud’s The Good War That Wasn’t — And Why It Matters: World War II’s Moral Legacy.
Vietnam War, read Nick Turse’s Kill Anything that Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam.
On the morality of just war theory, read Robert Meagher’s Killing from the Inside Out: Moral Injury and Just War. I
