In Episode 91 [9] of the CounterVortex podcast [10], Bill Weinberg notes the 20th anniversary of the launch of World War 3 Report [11], as it was then called—a direct response to 9-11 and Dubya Bush's declaration [18] of the Global War on Terrorism [19]. In 2005, it was renamed World War 4 Report [12], on the logic that the Cold War had been World War III, and to emphasize support for the "Fourth World [20]"—land-rooted, stateless, and indigenous peoples. In 2016, the project was transformed into CounterVortex [13], in light of its expanding mission [14] beyond the original mandate of the GWOT, and to emphasize the need for general resistance to humanity's downward spiral into ecological collapse [15] and permanent war [16].
