One thing that the Obama presidency has put into even sharper focus for me, is that most of the leaders of the world do not want peace. People can try and fool themselves that unlike Bush (Or Clinton, or Bush, or Reagan, or Carter, or Ford, or Nixon.....etc), Obama truly wants peace. The reality of facts on the ground dispute this. We are deceiving ourselves if we think otherwise. Obama is fully on the trajectory of the Empire. There is no denying this. If anyone has read my book: Myth America: 10 Greatest Myths of the Robber Class and the Case for Revolution, they would know that I do not place the blame for imperial violence on any president: it is the system. Governments of most every country are in on this. What can we the people do to counteract our governments that don't have our best interests in mind? During this week, as the international community, through its media, is focused on Martha's Vineyard, a contingent of strident peace lovers will gather to demonstrate to the international community that we are "all in" for peace. We are devoting our lives and committing our resources to the very simple, yet earth gathering, (the other side of "earth shattering") idea that problems (real, imagined or exploitative) can be solved without killing innocent people. To this end, during the week, we will be hammering out the first draft of an International People's Declaration of Peace. The people of the world must unite for peace in an unprecedented and historic move. We need input and feedback. Some of our early ideas: * We will not send our children to kill other people's children. * We will not fund our disparate country's penchants for violence with our tax dollars. * We will recognize the intrinsic value of each human. We will proclaim that no person is better than any other person irrespective of: race, religion, gender, gender preference, age, or national origin. * We will remove ourselves as far as ideologically possible from our governments when war is proposed, or promulgated. * We will demonstrate or protest war, violence or economic oppression no matter who, or what governs our nations. The S.S. Camp Casey Movement is inviting interested individuals on our regular boat trips around the island this week to discuss and help us develop the first draft of the International People's Declaration of Peace. We will be uploading regular videos on our youtube channel: Peace of the Action during the protests.

I love it when the lefty's turn on each other and devour their own.

This lady has finally gotten up to speed.
Too damn bad she didn't figure it out before she sent her kid off to die for the jews. Better late then never, I guess.
Now if she has not surrounded herself with the wrong people, one might be able and willing to support her.
Be interesting to see if any of our political leaders join Cindy's movement. Up until now those elected along with other heads of state seemed to have shunned groups promoting peace with scoundrels like those making up the British monarchy promoting the military with honorary positions as heads of regiments, cadet organizations, etc.
my guess is there won't be a one who is currently in office.
Ron Paul is a possibility and Cindy should invite him to be the honorary head of her peace campaign. Kucinich also comes to mind. The other idea would be for her to seek out a third party/independent candidate for president who would center his campaign on putting an end to Americans being Israel's war dogs and invading every country in which Israel sees and "existential" threat to its illegal existence. Americans should be getting sick enough of wars based solely on Zionist propaganda that congressional candidates outside the two main parties and not relying on the Israeli lobby for campaign support but under the "wing" of a peace presidential candidate. that they, especially younger voters, would bring an end to Organized Jewry's dominance of the American political scene.
"This man is Jesus,” shouted one man, spilling his Guinness as Barack Obama began his inaugural address. “When will he come to Kenya to save us?”
