Proclaim the Truth!

U.S. Navy Official Drone Logo:

THE GRIM REAPER!

 


See http://www.businessinsider.com/this-is-the-awesomely-bad-logo-for-the-navys-drone-department-2012-8#ixzz22IoAZY1B

     A Logo is an organization’s brand. It’s an official symbol – a way of communicating with others. It’s suppose to state one’s business, purpose, mission, etc. The U.S. Navy drone program appears to be all about the business of death – killing, hence it’s new logo! The Grim Reaper is death personified. Forget the old covers of “Peace through Strength.” and defending “Freedom & Democracy.” In many ways The Grim Reaper honestly reflects what U.S. national policy has become. Perhaps it should be the new U.S. national symbol of the American Empire and placed prominently on every Federal building, the entrances of U.S. military bases, all federal vehicles, including Air Force One, and even on the U.S. flag.  Let The Grim Reaper be displayed as the official U.S. National Symbol until as a nation the U.S. repents and changes its ways to support justice, peace and the earth itself. The Grim Reaper will serve as a reminder that if we don’t repent and embrace non-violence we will indeed reap what we sow!

Repent U.S. Violence & Greed Now!

Mahalo!
One of the most important things is the central theme of my latest book, Beyond Outrage: Nothing good happens in Washington, or for that matter, in state capitals, unless good people outside Washington or those state capitals make it happen. Unless they push very hard. Unless they’re organized, mobilized, and energized to force the political system to respond. The rest of us have to do more than simply vote, pay our taxes, and respond to summonses to be on juries. Citizenship goes far beyond those three. We’ve got to insist on being heard.–Robert Reich


How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.   ~ Anne Frank

2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

FORWARD:

Lemmings to the cliff!

Climate Change! Wars & More Wars! Drone attacks! Special Ops! Targeted Assassinations –Kill Lists!

Indefinite military detention! Torture! Guantanamo! Israel/Palestine!

Sanctions & Attacking Iran! Prison for Bradley Manning, other whistle blowers, and the poor!

Increased surveillance, repression, and poverty at home!

The election is over but the issues remain.

The American Empire’s policy of global “Full Spectrum Dominance” requires a huge Military-Industrial Complex. To benefit the 1%, be prepared for fast action to austerity for the 99%– cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education and other social programs; increasing surveillance and repression at home and wars and more wars abroad – drone strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, etc.; U.S. support for escalating war in Syria, sanctions and war on Iran; encircling China; etc. This is what is coming down and coming quickly. Will those who supported Obama or Romney protest such policies? Will the unions protest, churches, the mainstream environmentalists, youth, seniors, etc. protest?

Don’t be lemmings! Do not go along with the crimes of government and Wall St.! Do not follow blindly! Do not be Silent! Vote every day on how you spend your time and money that make for peace, justice and our planet’s survival.

Protest & Resist War, Injustice & the

Destruction of the Planet!

1. Mourn all victims of violence. 2. Reject war as a solution. 3. Defend civil liberties. 4. Oppose all discrimination, anti-Islamic, anti-Semitic, anti-Hawaiian, etc.
5. Seek peace through justice in Hawai`i and around the world.
