dsc08147
A hundred or so anti war activists came out in front of Boro Hall in Brooklyn yesterday to say No more Wars and disrupt the candidacy of Killary Clinton, as one of the signs being held up called her. In this pic, anti war performance artists displayed Hillary Clinton’s To Do List: Reading, Destroy Iraq, Destroy Libya, Destroy Syria all being checked off and crossed out with flames and full size skeletons. The All Seeing Eye carefully watching over.

About the event

Rally Brooklyn Boro Hall Steps,
March thru Brooklyn Heights to Clinton’s Campaign Hqtrs

Why is the anti-war movement always “a day late and a dollar short?” Some of us (Brooklyn Greens, NYC Veterans for Peace, US Peace Council – list is still growing, so join us) have decided to stop the coming wars – Ukraine, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Honduras and Syria – which threatens to turn into a nuclear shootout with Russia due to Hillary Clinton’s militaristic policies. (Haiti. Somalia. Yugoslavia. Libya also come to mind) .

Protesting after the election, as some groups suggest, is simply too late.

If you are not in NYC, consider organizing similar antiwar protests at Clinton’s election offices, wherever they may be.

I feel we need another word besides “war” to describe the atrocities going on.

War implies a 2 way conflict of equally armed sides. What we have now with what the U.S waging is more like slaughter or genocide.

In a recent article in Global Research entitled America Needs War published Sept 28th 2016 written on April 30, 2003, by historian and political scientist Jacques Pauwels. A timely question: Why Does Hillary Want War… ? And why do people support her? It reads,, The fact that Bush is keen on war has little or nothing to do with his psyche, but a great deal with the American economic system. This system – America’s brand of capitalism – functions first and foremost to make extremely rich Americans like the Bush “money dynasty” even richer. Without warm or cold wars, however, this system can no longer produce the expected result in the form of the ever-higher profits the moneyed and powerful of America consider as their birthright. http://www.globalresearch.ca/why-america-needs-war/5328631

The article goes on to say,, The fact that Bush is keen on war has little or nothing to do with his psyche, but a great deal with the American economic system. This system – America’s brand of capitalism – functions first and foremost to make extremely rich Americans like the Bush “money dynasty” even richer. Without warm or cold wars, however, this system can no longer produce the expected result in the form of the ever-higher profits the moneyed and powerful of America consider as their birthright.

As far as ordinary Americans were concerned, Washington’s military spending orgy brought not only virtually full employment but also much higher wages than ever before; it was during the Second World War that the widespread misery associated with the Great Depression came to an end and that a majority of the American people achieved an unprecedented degree of prosperity. However, the greatest beneficiaries by far of the wartime economic boom were the country’s businesspeople and corporations, who realized extraordinary profits.

Sara Flounders speaking about the current war crisis we face in the United States today about the threat of WWlll.

“Regardless of what you do on election day you know you’ve had no choice in the matter. It’s big $, Corp $$ that decides”.

Our choices are a sexual bigot or a war criminal.

Would be nice if that were the case.

Many say Jill Stein doesn’t have a chance. WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH DEBT AROUND ,, WHY SHOULDN’T VOTING BE TOO? That’s what voting for the lesser Evil means. Debt Voting. When so many don’t even like Clinton or Trump,, Why do so many say that Jill Stein doesn’t have a chance? Why would people begrudgingly vote for candidates they clearly don’t like? “It would be difficult to imagine a less flattering from-the-gut reaction” to Trump and Clinton, said Tim Malloy, the assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll, in a statement on the survey. Malloy added that “voters find themselves in the middle of a mean-spirited, scorched earth campaign between two candidates they don’t like.” most analysts believe Clinton’s challenges pale in comparison to those facing Trump, who is held in very low esteem by women and minority voters. The polls on Trump have Republican Party leaders worried but hopeful that the New York billionaire still has time to turn things around. http://www.voanews.com/a/clinton-leads-trump-but-many-voters-do-not-like-either-one/3397440.html
