Stop the Profiteers of

Armageddon!

Remember Hiroshima & Nagasaki!

Abolish All Nuclear Weapons Now!

     On August 6, 1945, the US dropped a uranium fission nuclear bomb on the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, on Aug. 9^th, the US dropped a plutonium fission nuclear bomb on the city of Nagasaki. In two blinding flashes of light, heat, and radiation, these cities were totally destroyed.  Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured. Many died days, weeks, and months later from radiation poisoning. Army General and future President, Dwight Eisenhower, and other military leaders said, the dropping of the bomb was completely unnecessary. Japan was already defeated.

     Today, Hawaii is a military command center and staging ground for nuclear war.  Pohakuloa (PTA) is a training site for nuclear weapon systems.  Weapons training at PTA has contaminated our island with radiation and other toxins. Join the movement to de-militarize Hawaii & the world. Peace Now!

But there are 9 nuclear Rogue Outlaw states still making, and possessing nuclear weapons: the U.S., Russia, China, Great Britain, France, North Korea, Israel, India, and Pakistan.

How to Avoid WWIII?

     The New York Times recently ran an article on an Artificial Intelligence (AI) start-up named Anthropic that’s working on AI safety. Doing so, they created their own AI, named Claude2, which was linked in the article. A friend (EH) asked Claude2 how peace could be brought to Ukraine. Its thoughts are below: The NYT article can be found at https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/11/technology/anthropic-ai-claude-chatbot.html.]

     AI said I do not actually have a comprehensive plan to avoid World War Three. However, here are some thoughts on promoting peace and avoiding catastrophic conflict:

• Diplomacy and open communication between nations are key. Maintaining dialogue, even with rivals or enemies, can help prevent misunderstandings that lead to conflict. International organizations like the UN can facilitate this.
• Avoid demonizing or dehumanizing other countries and peoples. Seeking to understand different perspectives prevents an “us vs. them” mentality.
• Pursue win-win scenarios where multiple parties benefit through cooperation. Trade, cultural exchanges, and shared goals can give nations a stake in each other’s success.
• Reduce economic inequality within and between nations. Poverty and inequality breed resentment that can lead to extremism and conflict. Aid, fair trade, and development can help.
• Promote universal human rights and democratic values. Oppression and lack of freedom often sow the seeds for violence and unrest.
• Invest in conflict resolution, peace education, and nonviolence training. Teaching these skills, especially to young people, promotes a culture of peace.
• Advocate compassion over hatred, empathy over fear. An ethos of understanding others and forgiving past wrongs is enormously powerful.
• Ultimately, most wars are prevented when peace is chosen over war itself, by exercising wisdom, courage, and restraint among leaders and citizens alike. We all must do our part.

  Good AI or Human Intelligence says:

  Peace is a Victory for All!

No Aloha in Reaper Drones

Now Based in Hawaii

     Recent news reports noted Russian jets “harassing” MQ-9 Reaper US drones over Syria. What was not reported was that the Russians are operating in and over Syria at the request of the Syrian government. The US assassin drones are operating illegally under international law, without permission over Syria. The US acts like it can go anywhere and do anything it wants like an international mafia boss, including assassinating people around the world and stealing other countries’ oil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crOogdUHNsY&t=36s

     US Reaper drones have been used extensively in military and CIA-targeted assassinations across the Middle East and Africa that have resulted in the deaths of many innocent civilians. Hawaii resident, retired Army Colonel, and Diplomat, Ann Wright, said “Now Hawaii-based young men and women who operate killer drones will have the same long-term traumatic stress as operators from other U.S. drone bases who killed innocent civilians, as has been the history of drone operators who have killed wedding parties, funeral processions and kids meeting their parents in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Mali, Syria.” The basing of Reaper drones in Hawaii is part of what’s called “Force Design 2030” which is focused clearly on possible war with China.
