Message to Drone Operators | Shut down Creech AF Base
Earlier this month U.S. Veterans delivered a message to Creech Air Force Base drone operators and other personnel offering support for those who decide they no longer want to participate in drone assassinations.
The message to Creech airmen says, in part: “We encourage you to think carefully about your place in the scheme of things. Can you, in good conscience, continue to participate in killing other human beings, no matter how remotely? If, after serious soul-searching, you come to believe you are against all wars, you can apply for a discharge from the Air Force as a Conscientious Objector. If you need advice, there are conscientious objector organizations that can help you.”

About Exhibit
Do we realize how much an influence our images have? Since the first photographs, it has changed opinions, revealed truths and highlighted both the best and worst parts of humanity.
The adage “A picture is worth a thousand words” refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image.
This year we are making a call to artists to submit images for the 2015 Annual Photography Branch Exhibit asking – What does peace look like?
Stretching across the spectrum, many things can be linked with peace – mothers embracing their children, hippy daisy chains or powerful protests.

Pushing for War with Russia in the Senate
Sen. James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) has introduced a bill to arm the U.S. puppet regime in Kiev with offensive weapons. This would expand the war along
Russia’s border and likely help in the neo-con plan to draw Moscow into a direct shooting match with US-NATO. Now is the time to send a message to your U.S.
senator.
