Webinar: GLORY - The Deadliest Drug: December
7th from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. EST (GMT-5)
In
this webinar, Yale Magrass and Charles Derber, authors
of
Glorious Causes, consider how elites
galvanize people for war and bring them to adopt
political-economic identities that contradict their
rational self-interest.
The book offers
historical and contemporary cases: Why poor U.S. white
Southerners fought to protect the right of a few
thousand to own vast plantations. How the Nazis gained
control not with a promise of personal prosperity, but
“discipline, fidelity, and honor.”

With the International Criminal Court investigating
the actions of all parties to the war in Afghanistan and
potentially investigating Israel's actions in Palestine,
in June 2020 U.S. President Donald Trump issued an
executive order authorizing the punishment of
any individuals involved in or in any way assisting such
court proceedings. The U.S. State Department
has restricted visas for ICC officials and in September
2020 sanctioned two court officials, including the Chief
Prosecutor, freezing their U.S. assets and blocking them
from financial transactions with U.S. persons, banks,
and companies.
Trump's action has been condemned by
over 70 national governments, including the United
States' closest allies, and by International Association
of Democratic
Lawyers.
