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.
