Peace is the Way

Wherever we go there are advertizements for war: tv, radio, posters, subway ads, computer and video games, on & on. These all add up to an acceptance of war as the way to "redress grievances."
WAR IS NOT THE WAY TO PEACE. But you know that already.
UFPJ's next big peace push is this Saturday. Please do what you can to spread the word for peace.


ASSEMBLE ON BROADWAY
South of 23rd Street
RALLY AT 12:00 NOON

2 MINUTES OF SILENCE to honor those who have died AT 2:45

Here is Robert Greenwald's new video in support of the October 27th Mobilization:

War Games Alert

From Oct. 15 - 20, Operation Vigilant Shield 2008 (VS-08) will engage the Pentagon and Homeland Security in war games. The games “…resembles a war-time air scenario rather than an anti-terrorist drill.” In other words, this provides a further blurring of the lines between civil law enforcement and military rule. Be alert, be informed, be prepared.

Dangerous Crossroads:
US Sponsored War Games

by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research, October 6, 2007
…the process of "domestic security" has become entrenched and integrated into military planning.
The 'linked exercises" provide an environment which favors the militarization of civilian institutions. They also impart the military with a further opportunity to interfere in domestic civilian law enforcement and judicial functions.

"Another [second 911] attack could create both a justification and an opportunity that is lacking today to retaliate against some known targets [Iran, Syria], according to current and former defense officials familiar with the plan." (WP 23 April 2006).
