Why has our Peace Movement lacked the ability and will to stop two illegal, immoral, and atrocious wars? Perhaps it is an unwillingness to get out of our comfort zone and take some risks which might make an impact? Perhaps it is an unwillingness to be investigative journalists in order to learn, consider, and address our own U.S. history?

For those of you who are genuinely interested in learning and knowing your own U.S. history,--read Killing Hope by William Blum. Did you know that since 1945, our dear old Uncle Sam has invaded 50 sovereign countries,--overtly and covertly? Another important historical book is called The War On Truth by Nafeez Ahmed, the Executive Director of the Institute for Policy Research and Development in Brighton, England. Did you know the U.S. government has a past history of conducting 8 “false-flag” events starting with the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770? Better fasten your seat belts folks!
