 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The February 19 rally, organized by the Libertarian Party and the People's Party, is a reactionary political amalgam, including outright fascists, that has nothing to do with developing a genuine movement against imperialist war. Hundreds of residents packed a meeting Wednesday night to challenge the claims by officials that their families were safe after the burning of derailed tanker cars, which a hazardous materials expert called being "nuked by chemicals." The grand total of $85 million in aid offered by the Biden administration to both Turkey and Syria represents a tiny fraction of the billions in arms and aid poured into the proxy jihadist forces that ravaged Syria in Washington's regime change war. A report in the Washington Post suggests that the balloon shot down February 4 off the South Carolina coast was blown into North American airspace by unusual wind currents, and was not intended to target the United States or Canada. The ground is being prepared to divert vast sums from health care, education, welfare benefits and housing to the war machine, at devastating cost to millions of workers.

Reports for WVPB, the National Public Radio affiliate, and for the Charleston Gazette-Mail have been fired.
