One can almost trace the mod- ern history of nonviolent movements in America by following the trail of his acts of resistance over the past 60 years. His life has been an unbroken series of sit-ins for civil rights, seagoing blockades of munitions ships sailing for Vietnam, land blockades of trains carrying bombs to El Salvador, arrests at the Diablo nuclear reac- tor and the Livermore nuclear weapons lab, Occupy movement marches, and interna- tional acts of peacemaking in Russia, Nicaragua, Kosovo, Iran and Palestine. It all began at the very dawn of the Freedom Movement when the teenaged Hartsough met Martin Luther King and Ralph David Abernathy at a church in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1956 as the min- isters were organizing the bus boycott at the birth of the civil rights struggle. Next, while at Howard University, Hartsough was involved in some of the first “Where have all the flowers gone?” David Hartsough is arrested by police in San Francisco for blocking Photo credit: sit-ins to integrate restaurants in Arlington, Market Street in an act of civil disobedience in resistance to the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

  • Video: the USA and Nicaragua Now: Brian Willson
    Video: The USA and Nicaragua Now: Brian Willson An interview with S. Brian Willson By S. Brian Willson and Tortilla Con Sal Region: Latin America & Caribbean, USA Global Research, August 31, 2020 Theme: History Tortilla con Sal: We’re here with Brian Willson, Viet Nam veteran and onetime criminal lawyer. Brian has written extensively about US imperialism and its effects around the world and what people in Nicaragua are especially interested in right now Brian is what’s happening in the United States as a result of the murder on May 25th of George Floyd. What’s your take on that? Brian Willson: Well I think that 8 minute 46 second video focused on that policeman with his knee on George Floyd’s neck and his hand in his pocket as he’s looking at the camera, I think that picture finally disclosed viscerally 400 years of white exceptionalism in a way that people could feel, viscerally, that this is what people had been going through through our entire history in the United States and before it even became the United States. It exposed the fake identity of white supremacy in a way that nothing else has been able to do like that video. And it changed the whole culture in a way. It affected everybody, not just in the United States but in the world. These demonstrations against police violence are happening all over the world, not just in the United States. Now I’m a white male, who because of that has been privileged and I discovered in Viet Nam that that privilege had become a disability because it had made me in a way, stupid.

Library. Berkeley, CA 94709 Abstract: The Pledge of Resistance began in 1984 in response to the threat of U.S. invasion into Nicaragua. The national structure grew as people signed the pledge resisting the U.S. government's policies toward Central America. Signals for actions were sent out from the national center to the local groups whose members committed civil disobedience and protested policies seen as interventionist and repressive. Groups which worked closely with the Pledge included the Inter-Religious Task Force for Central America, the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, the American Friends Service Committee, and the San Francisco Bay Area's Emergency Response Network, and Bay Area Pledge of Resistance.

  • The Slippery Slope U.S. Military Moves Into Mexico
    The Slippery Slope - U.S. Military Moves Into Mexico Page 1 of 24 The Slippery Slope U.S. Military Moves Into Mexico By S. Brian Willson Contents z Foreword z Section I: United States Militarization of Mexico z Section II: Unmasking the Drug War z Section III: Poverty and Misery-Aggravation by NAFTA z Section IV: Militarization and Repression in Mexico Personal Introduction On February 9, 1995, while traveling south on curvy, mountainous Chiapas Highway 173, we encountered a long, heavily supplied Mexican military convoy, carrying hundreds of armed soldiers. Among the new uniforms and equipment, I believed I recognized U.S. material, armored personnel carriers among them. The convoy moved north towards Simojovel, the highland's village we had just left. Later I learned that we had seen the beginning of a major military offensive which ravaged many communities, and whose goal was the capture of Zapatista leaders. Only a few days earlier, on January 31, 1995, U.S. President Bill Clinton had begun orchestrating the controversial $50 billion bailout of the then collapsing Mexico economy. Though Congress opposed the deal, Clinton was adamant. He bypassed Congress and facilitated the fiscal relief package through other channels: loans from discretionary public sources and from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other international funds. This unprecedented action suggests the high stakes involved in assuring a "healthy," stable Mexican economy so important under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the new corporate global economy that NAFTA promotes and requires. I have come to understand that this kind of economy is defined and driven by various international speculators, domestic wealthy interests, and World Bank and IMF theorists and programs.
