“By one not unreasonable estimate, as many as four million Muslims have died or been killed as a result of the ongoing conflicts that Washington has either initiated or been party to since 2001.

There are, in addition, millions of displaced persons who have lost their homes and livelihoods, many of whom are among the human wave currently engulfing Europe. There are currently an estimated 2,590,000 refugees who have fled their homes from Afghanistan, 370,000 from Iraq, 3,880,000 million from Syria, and 1,100,000 from Somalia. The United Nations Refugee Agency is expecting at least 130,000 refugees from Yemen as fighting in that country accelerates. Between 600,000 and one million Libyans are living precariously in neighboring Tunisia.

The number of internally displaced within each country is roughly double the number of those who have actually fled and are seeking to resettle outside their homelands. Many of the latter have wound up in temporary camps run by the United Nations while others are paying criminals to transport them into Europe.

Significantly, the countries that have generated most of the refugees are all places where the United States has invaded, overthrown governments, supported insurgencies, or intervened in a civil war.”

Dismantling the U.S. Global

Empire!

      In the late 1990s, a right wing think tank of neoconservative (neocons) including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, William Kristol, Robert Kagan, Paul Wolfowitz, etc. – The Project for a New American Century (PNAC), issued a position paper talking about the U.S. being the “world’s pre-eminent power” after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In short, the U.S. was the Global Empire of the 21st century. The only thing that was needed was a cover and rationale for domination throughout the world. What was needed was a new enemy to replace communism and a new shocking triggering event –“a new Pearl Harbor.” 14 years ago today came 9-11. The years since have been endless war in the name of “freedom and democracy.” Terrorism has replaced communism as the new global enemy. The so called “war on terror” has worked to destabilize, destroy, and cause chaos in much of the world, especially Muslim nations, to the financial benefit of the few in the U.S. and its western allies.

      The current flood of refugees to Europe is a direct result of U.S and western bombing and chaos created in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, etc. There is no end in sight to the refugees, bombing or chaos. Al-Qaeda and ISIS are products of the U.S. Empire.

      What is needed today is not more bombs and missiles but a dismantling of the U.S. Global Empire. Instead of creating more wars and global chaos we need an international non-violent peoples movement to end the crimes of empire. We need communities to stand together for peace, economic justice, and to protect the people, plants, and animals of this precious earth we jointly call home. Please do your part!

The real way U.S. “freedom and democracy” work to destabilize, destroy, and cause chaos in much of the world to the financial benefit of the few.

SPEAK THE TRUTH!

4 Million Muslims Killed In Western Wars: When Should We Call It Genocide?

The U.S. is largely responsible for massive global migration taking place due to wars, climate catastrophe and economic injustice.

The Italian dictator Benito Mussolini said that “fascism is when the corporations and the state become one.”

What do we call it when corporations supersede all state authority?

What the world needs is not more multi-billion dollar corporations and CEOs, not more military troops and missiles. Our world needs more peacemakers, justice seekers, and planet protectors.

End these Wars Now!

Stop Bombing Pohakuloa!

Protect Mauna Kea! No TMT!

Aloha ‘Aina! Protect our Mother Earth!
