Recycle the War Machine!

 Recycle the War Machine!            _______________________________________________________________

Food Not Bombs! Houses Not Bombs! Education Not Bombs! Health Care not Bombs! Stop the Genocide!

The US spends $1 Trillion a year on its war machine, more than the next 9 nations combined, and plans to spend more than $1.7 Trillion on upgrading its nuclear weapons arsenal that already can destroy the world many times over. After WWII the Pentagon was to revert to a medical facility. The above figures on military spending appear to confirm that the Pentagon has kept its word. It has become – a War Machine Insane Asylum, with Bi-partisan Congressional, Executive Branch, and Wall Street support!

Save the Planet! Peace is a Victory for ALL!

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.
