This will be just a short post today.
Just a reminder of what today is
and what it has meant to our lives. Rethink war.
and what it has meant to our lives. Rethink war.
Fifteen years ago on October 7th 2001
the United States of America launched Operation Enduring Freedom invading
Afghanistan after the Taliban declined to extradite Osama bin Laden
and expel al-Qaeda unless given convincing evidence of his
involvement in the 911 Attacks.
It is now the longest war in our
county's history and the beginning of the Endless War On Terror.
As of 2015, tens of thousands of people
had been killed in the war. Over 4,000 ISAF soldiers (NATO-led
security forces) and civilian contractors as well as over 15,000
Afghan national security forces members have been killed, as well as
nearly 20 thousand civilians. (these numbers are said to be much more by
some especially the civilian deaths)
As of September 23, 2016, there have
been 2,216 U.S. US military deaths in the War in Afghanistan.
All fighters in this war have been
accused and/or convicted of war crimes and human rights abuses. The
Taliban, the Northern Alliance, Coalition Forces and US soldiers.
The Patriot Act was signed into law by
President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. Senator Russ Feingold
was the only Senator to vote against the bill.
On September 14, 2001 the Authorization for Use of Military Force
was passed with Barbara Lee, D-CA being the only member of either
house of Congress to vote against the bill.
It is very clear that with Clinton or
Trump the increase in war and militarism will be greatly increased.
This year's vote is very important for the future of us and our
children. The evidence is that most likely war will continue.
Although the Libertarians and the Greens are the most anti-war it is
unlikely they will garner the votes and even if they did, getting
their agenda passed in any bill in Congress would be hard to imagine
and it would just die in place. Please join your local peace groups
and anti-war organizations and do what you can to end the madness.

Many in this election have been looking for change.
Many believe that a revolution is on the horizon.
Many hope voting correctly will curb this downward spiral.
And many think it will take a violent insurrection and are planning on it.
