U.S. Puts China in the

Crosshairs!

 

The Office of the Director of US National Intelligence has released its 2023 Annual Threat Assessment, putting China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea directly in the crosshairs of U.S. imperialism and regime change operations.  The report is very clear on the motives of the entire establishment: to prevent any other state from challenging U.S. hegemony. The US wants a Uni-polar, not a multi-polar, world. The US wants to remain the 21st century unchallenged global empire.

March 17, 2023 Hilo Peace Vigil leaflet — No More War! — Ceasefire Now!

Tuesday, March 14th, 2023

NO MORE WAR!

The largest anti-war actions in Years are planned for March 18th around the U.S.

Similar actions have taken place in many countries in Europe.

The world needs an anti-war movement as never before.

The drums of war with Russia and China are beating louder and louder.

                                                         

                 Key Demands: Peace in Ukraine – No weapons, no money for the Ukraine War! Abolish NATO – End U.S. militarism & sanctions! Fund people’s needs, not the war machine! No war with Russia and/or China! End U.S. aid to racist apartheid Israel! Fight racism & bigotry at home! Etc. Free Julian Assange too!  https://popularresistance.org/protest-at-the-white-house-march-18-against-us-proxy-war-in-ukraine/

March 20th marks 20 Years Since the U.S. launched “shock & awe” on the people of Iraq based on US lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Here in Hawaii, we stand in solidarity with the above demands. We also call for an end to the illegal US overthrow and continued illegal occupation of the independent nation of Hawaii. On Hawaii Island, we call for stopping the bombing of Pohakuloa, clean up the military toxic mess from 75 years of live fire and the use of Depleted Uranium radiation, lead, perchlorate, etc., and a return of the land to the Hawaiian people.

Ceasefire Now!

1 . Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject violence & war as solutions. 3. Defend civil liberties.
       4. Oppose all discrimination: anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Russian, anti-LGBTQ, etc. 5. Seek peace through peaceful means and work for justice in Hawai`i and around the world.

Hawaii Peace Portrait revisited

Tuesday, February 28th, 2023

Take a Stand! Get in the

Picture!

On Jan. 17, 2005, more than 200 people of diverse ages, cultures, and political views came together in Hilo, Hawaii for a “Day of Unity for Justice & Peace.”  Jan. 17th marked the holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  This date also marked the 112th year of the U.S. invasion and illegal occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Yesterday, You Were Courageous & Steadfast! Where Are You & the Next Generation Today?   Will You Stand Again for Justice and Peace (for All Sides)?

There Has Never In History Been A Greater Need For A Large Anti-War Movement. “The wars in Vietnam and Iraq killed millions; we’re talking about a conflict that can kill billions.” https://t.co/eMXpSNBuLH

1 . Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject violence & war as solutions. 3. Defend civil liberties.
       4. Oppose all discrimination: anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Russian, anti-LGBTQ, etc. 5. Seek peace through peaceful means and work for justice in Hawai`i and around the world.

The Hilo Peace Vigil is now in its 1118th week

Diplomacy Not War! March 3, 2023, Hilo Peace Vigil leaflet

Tuesday, February 28th, 2023

Diplomacy Not War!

     The escalating US proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, and growing tensions with China to maintain US global domination, risk global nuclear war by miscalculation, accident, or design. The urgent task is to defuse this risk and build a multi-polar world through diplomacy and negotiations.

      In 1961, President John F. Kennedy asked his Joint Chiefs: “If your plans for nuclear war are carried out as planned, how many people will be killed in the Soviet Union and China?” The Joint Chiefs’ response was “roughly 600 million,” including collateral damage. A hundred Holocausts. p. 3 in the book –“The Doomsday Machine – Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner” by Daniel Ellsberg. The world’s population in 1961 was 3 Billion people. In 2023, the world’s population will be 8 Billion.

China’s Proposed 12-Point Peace Plan!

The proposal sets forth principles and objectives to resolve the conflict without specifying what might be the negotiated political solutions. These principles and objectives include: Respecting the sovereignty of all countries, Abandoning the Cold War mentality, Ceasing hostilities, Resuming peace talks, Resolving the humanitarian crisis, Protecting civilians and prisoners of war, Keeping nuclear power plants safe, Reducing strategic risks, Facilitating grain exports, Stopping unilateral sanctions, Keeping industrial and supply chains stable and Promoting post-conflict reconstruction.

The proposal provides short explanations of each of the above. Under Reducing strategic risks, for example, the proposal says that “Nuclear weapons must not be used and nuclear wars must not be fought. The threat or use of nuclear weapons should be opposed.

What is the US Peace Plan?

Weapons, Weapons, and More Weapons?

1 . Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject violence & war as solutions. 3. Defend civil liberties.
       4. Oppose all discrimination: anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Russian, anti-LGBTQ, etc. 5. Seek peace through peaceful means and work for justice in Hawai`i and around the world.

Join the Malu ‘Aina Peace organizing meeting Monday, Feb 27th, 6-8PM in Keaau or on zoom

 

Aloha Peace ohana,
 

Reminder –On the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month we have peace organizing meetings 6-8 PM at the Keaau Community center, with zoom only from 6:30- 7:15 PM.

Zoom Meeting https://us04web.zoom.us/j/9876901944… Meeting ID: 987 690 1944 Passcode: peace nowSteve Paulmier in our group is the person who sets up zoom. His email is Paulmier <stephen.paulmier@verizon.net> and his phone 430-8866

The Keaau Community Center is located behind the Keaau Police station and Bay Clinic in Keaau.
 

Among topics to be discussed Monday Feb. 27th:
 

1. One year anniversary of the war in Ukraine with increasing war tensions with Russia, and with China over Taiwan. Either, or both, of these situations, could escalate quickly to a global nuclear war. It is important to stress — Diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy! More and more weapons are not the answer.

There needs to be a Congressional investigation into the alleged US bombing of the Russian Nord Stream Pipelines. Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh broke the news. Hersh also revealed the Mi Lai Massacre during the Vietnam war and the US torture of prisoners at Abu Graib prison in Iraq. See U.S. destruction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. https://scheerpost.com/…/how-america-took-out-the-nord…/
Former CIA officer Ray McGovern, says the US bombing of the Russian pipeline constitutes an act of war against Russia. See
 

2. “Experience Pohakuloa Day set for Thursday, April 20th where school kids and the public are invited to an Earth Day celebration at the Pohakuloa Toxic Area (PTA). Help circulate this Public Service Announcement to all schools on the island and parents of school-age kids urging a boycott and a cancellation of this event.
 

“For School Officials & Teachers – Please print and post in the teacher meeting room. Please forward this message to your Parent-Teacher Association PTA, so that this important information is circulated prior to organizing ANY STUDENT EARTH DAY EXCURSIONS TO POHAKULOA TRAINING AREA
 

P U B L I C S E R V I C E A N N O U N C E M E N T (PSA)

Parents of young children and pregnant women are warned of the dangers of DU (Depleted Uranium) and other military toxins at the Pohakuloa Training Area!

Please view the short video of Dr. Lorrin Pang, M.D., public health officer and retired Army Medical Corps explaining the health dangers of inhaling DU oxide dust particles (See https://vimeo.com/19153948). As Dr. Pang explains, especially vulnerable are young children and pregnant women.

Allowing children in your care to attend programs at Pohakuloa, especially during live fire training, unnecessarily puts them at risk. Mahalo. For more information, contact Malu ‘Aina Center for Non-violent Education & Action, P.O. Box 489, Kurtistown, HI 96760. Tel. (808) 966-7622.”
 

3. Reopening of the Hilo Post office/Federal bldg restrooms. All Hawaii Congressional representatives and senators have been contacted by email and phone to take action. These restroom have been locked to the public since before covid in 2018-19.
 

4. Come and bring items for discussion at the meeting. Please pass the word to ohana and friends. Mahalo.
