    Letter to Newport Chamber of Commerce in response to the exclusion of VFP and others from their Loyalty Day Parade, May 5, 2007 Gordon
    To Whom it May Concern:
    I have read several reports about your recent "Loyalty Day" parade and the exclusion of the Veterans for Peace and other groups with messages calling for an end to war. There is video tape of parade organizer, Patty Louisiana saying that the peace message, even from combat veterans, "doesn’t support the spirit of our community". Is (…)

    The basis for the global mind control program of the modern elite is in the charade mind control program of so called "terrorism". Although be sure that desperate economic situations create a breeding ground for contempt, violence, and the on going cycle of violence - the source of the so called poor mans war of "terrorism" is rooted in the structure and operational technique of maximizing profits while using the media a system of mind control to generate social consent of the opressed and (…)

    This is my contribution to Peace. My Peace. And perhaps by my peace the world’s peace.
    Perhaps I’m just getting older. Maybe more tired. Maybe just more tired of it all.
    All of the wars, all of the fighting, all of the rumors of wars, all of the rumors of fighting.
    All of the petty squabbles, all of the egos, all of the silliness, all of the savagry.
    Many want to change the world. Many don’t care. Many don’t know what they want. Many don’t know where to start or where to end.
    As (…)

    Here are the results of the March 23, 2007, vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to give Bush and Cheney over $100 billion more for war. The bill passed with exactly the 218 votes required. Almost all of the Republicans and six Democrats voted No for the wrong reasons. One Democrat voted "Present". But eight Democrats voted No because they oppose further funding of this war. These eight are the beginning of a movement for peace, and the first indication that some (…)

    “There was never a good war, or a bad peace.” - Ben Franklin
    Washington, DC - At 12:30 PM, on March 17, 2007, near the Lincoln Memorial, at Constitution Ave. and 23rd St., NW, peace advocates, in the tens of thousands assembled for a “March on the Pentagon.” A blustery wind was blowing in from the Potomac River, which parallels the area. Meanwhile, the Democrats are in almost full retreat to the Bush-Cheney Gang, with respect to the issue of continued funding for the Iraqi War. And, thanks (…)

    The file is labeled Injustice in America. I began it over two decades ago, and it has grown thicker with the passage of time. Within its folds are stories of the numerous wrongful convictions that occur far too frequently in a nation proclaiming to have the best legal system in the world.
    At first glance, the faces of the wrongfully convicted appear to be as unique as the individuals themselves. Yet they are starkly similar. They are almost always poor, usually (…)

    On March 17, a huge mass of people will gather at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., and march from there to the Pentagon for the cause of impeachment and peace. http://www.impeach07.org
    A handful of pro-war people, some volunteer and some probably paid to be there, will stage a counter-demonstration. This relatively tiny pro-death contingent will garner 50 percent of the media coverage if those on the side of peace do everything right. If a single demonstrator (…)

    Anti-nuclear protestors block a road in Parliament Square in London Wednesday March 14, 2007. Lawmakers from Prime Minister Tony Blair’s party planned a major rebellion Wednesday over a proposal for a multibillion-dollar (-euro) nuclear missile defense system - a program critics claim could undermine efforts to stem the weapons ambitions of Iran and other countries. Blair has told the House of Commons that Britain’s fleet of four nuclear-armed submarines - due to be phased out from 2022 - (…)
