“It is our responsibility, and as one VFP member stated, our sworn duty, to uphold the Constitution and impeach this criminal president. As citizens, every one of us is complicit in his crimes. By virtue of that complicity, we are compelled not only by the law but by morality and history to do whatever we can to stop this war of aggression and these crimes against humanity. The Nuremberg Tribunals following World War II did not favorably judge the first nation the world determined had waged a war of aggression, nor its “good citizens” who obeyed their government.” – Mike Ferner, Former National President of Veterans For Peace speaking on behalf of Veterans For Peace at Impeachment Rally in Washington, DC on 16 June 2005″
“It’s not enough to be against war. Everyone is against war. We must expose the Big Lie that the war is based on. And that Big Lie is the political narrative regarding the events of September 11th, 2001.” – Prof. Michel Chossudovsky to KPFA’s Bonnie Faulkner of ‘Guns and Butter’ in October 2001

Our International Solidarity Week of Action against the prosecution of Army whistleblower Bradley Manning begins June 1st!
June 3rd will be Army whistle-blower Bradley Manning’s first day of trial, after more than three grueling years behind bars. Enduring nine months of torture for promoting international human rights, Bradley simultaneously learned how hard it can be to oppose the largest war machine in the world, and inspired millions of people worldwide to join the struggle for a more just future.

Dear Friends,
I recently had the honor of speaking about Bradley Manning and Kimberly Rivera at the Forum on Torture, Human Rights and Civil Liberties during the People’s Response to the Bush “Liebury” events in Dallas, Texas.
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSwjk6R4dR0
My talk, available on YouTube below, includes extensive passages from Bradley Manning’s recent statement to the court and to the world, and also the words of war resister and mother-of-four Kimberly Rivera, on the eve of her court martial for going AWOL from the Iraq War. Kimberly was subsequently convicted of desertion and sentenced to 10 months in prison.
Please feel free to use this 30-minute video for building support for Bradley Manning, Kimberly Rivera and all war resisters and whistle-blowers!
Wage Peace!
