July 31—On the world strategic stage, there is underway an open, brutal and needless fight between the expiring, old neo-imperialist order trying to remain hegemonic, and the Global Majority making irrepressible moves for a new system.

July 31—*The following is a new statement issued internationally today by scientists on behalf of Humanity for Peace. It is intended for rapid circulation to scientists (primarily). Please circulate and organize many more signatures. Consider circulating it with one of the Steve Starr videos on the horror and finality of nuclear war*

Humanity For Peace is proud to announce that on this occasion, August 6, 2023, an international rally will be held to remind the world that nuclear war should never be fought and can never be won. Humanity is better than that, and we must reject the destiny of inevitable war as a morally repugnant and horribly cynical view.
