Defuse Nuclear War & Climate Catastrophe!

War is a Racket”

Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler

     “War is a Racket.” True in 1935, and true in 2023. I highly recommend reading the book entitled “War is a Racket” by General Smedley Butler, a two-time Medal of Honor recipient. In his 1960 farewell address to the nation, US president and another former General, Dwight David Eisenhower, warned of the growing danger of the US MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX (MIC). That danger has continued to grow. Today, 65 cents of every federal tax dollar goes to the US War Machine. That leaves only 35 cents of every tax dollar for everything else. The world is now facing possible human extinction from the growing threats of nuclear war and climate disaster. The US War Machine (MIC) is the elephant in the room fueling both existential threats to life on planet Earth. There seems to be no limit to what the US Empire will do in its attempt to maintain global domination. It is up to “we the people” to step up and act now before it is too late! Never give up! Every action matters!

A small group gathered at 10 AM at Gil Kahele Park in the center of Hawaii Island for a dedication of a Rotary Club Peace pole –“May Peace Prevail on Earth.”  Then an even smaller group stood from 10:30 to noon outside the main gate of Pohakuloa Toxic Area (PTA) with banners and signs –“Stop Bombing Pohakuloa, Cancel Pohakuloa Lease, Make Hawaii & the Pacific Nuclear Free, Ban DU Weapons, etc.”

Two of those participating were Jack and Felice Cohen-Joppa, from Tucson, Arizona, founders and editors of The Nuclear Resister.  Check out nukeresister.org.  Jack and Felice will speak at a Malu ‘Aina Peace Organizing meeting on Monday, Sept. 25th from 6:30 – 7:15 PM at the Kea’au Community Center.  All are welcome.
