Let's restart peace movement January, 3, 2017


A month ago America marked the 15th anniversary of perpetual criminal war against the world. Regime change in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, and attempted regime change in Syria, and even now Russia, have all failed and will fail. They have squandered trillions and cost hundreds of thousands, maybe even a million, their lives. They have have degraded the lives of millions more...including every American whose nation crumbles so weapons of mass killing can be manufactured for these criminal wars.
No candidate preaches real peace; even Bernie had to bow down to the phony, self destructive wars against ISIS and Syria. Mass media is massively in the tank for the war party. Tell the truth about the madness of rampant American militarism and suffer loss of access to government propaganda; a fatal step for any news outlet.
Let's all vow to re-start an American peace movement on January 3, 2017, the start of the 115th Congress. Demand an end to war from our new President and new Congress. Pray for the defeat of five virulent war monger Senators: Mark Kirk in Illinois, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin, Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, Marco Rubio in Florida and the most virulent of all, John McCain in Arizona. Join a peace movement organization. Demand war crimes investigation of the Iraq war cabinet of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice. Cease supporting government and media war propaganda.
Unlike citizens of Germany and Japan during WWII, or even Americans in WWI, we can take all the above steps for peace without fear of being imprisoned, or worse.
American perpetual war is structured to insulate us from its consequences. Volunteer canon fodder slain or maimed are glorified as sacrificing themselves for our freedom...and we eat up that obscenity by the bowlful. Taxes are lowered instead of raised to finance war so the circus of daily life can continue unabated.
The 14,400 nukes roughly divided between the US and Russia remain the greatest threat to human existence, and America's restarting the Cold War against the Russian Bear the most dangerous development since launch of the murderous and criminal Iraq war.
If you're not working for peace...you're enabling perpetual war.
