Call Congress: End Endless War

Dear John-Michael, In the wake of the election, we knew pressures would mount to escalate the war in Iraq and Syria. We had no idea that within a few days of the election, the White House would double down on the war, ordering twice the number of troops on the ground and requesting over $5 billion more dollars. Call Congress toll-free today and tell them: War is not working and is ineffective in addressing the threat of ISIS. 877-429-0678. The President has asked for a debate and vote on an Authorization for the Use of Military Force. Instead of another endless war, Members of Congress should stand up in support of alternatives to bombing This week, Peace Action and over 20 national groups have joined together to jam the Capitol Hill switchboard with calls urging Congressional action  for immediate steps toward political solutions to the crisis in Iraq and Syria. Call Congress toll-free today, 877-429-0678, to argue for alternatives to endless war, and for a sustainable, effective response to ISIS. The U.S. can take immediate action to: • Tighten loopholes in existing sanctions to help cut off ISIS’s funding streams; • Condition U.S. support for the Iraqi government on success in stopping sectarian violence; • Support renewed diplomacy, including local ceasefires, to end the Syrian civil war; • Stop channeling weapons into the war (U.S. weapons have ended up in the hands of ISIS); • Support civil society efforts to build peace and reconciliation at the community level. Call Congress NOW, 877-429-0678, to put an end to endless war! In the coming weeks, we will call on you to join the vocal opposition to the war, and to help educate your family, friends and Congressional representatives that war is not the answer to the threat of ISIS.

9-11 Truth for Peace

http://911truthactivism.blogspot.com/2014/06/9-11-truth-for-peace.html

7 November 2014

Dear No Glory supporter, 

Many people are realising the red poppy is not what it seems

It’s been hijacked by arms companies, promoters of militarism and sanitisers of war.

• Lockheed Martin (the world’s largest arms company) sponsored last week’s Poppy Rocks Ball, while Thales (those nice folk who bring you drones) have joined London mayor Boris Johnson in a big Red Poppy billboard at Westminster. See http://bit.ly/10tQfOB
  
• Incredibly, the official poppy appeal video has the cheek to take a classic anti-war song – and strip out its anti-war message. See http://bit.ly/10W13pT
  
• The Guardian's art critic Jonathan Jones triggered orchestrated fury by noting the Tower of London poppy display is trite, pretty and meaningless. See http://bit.ly/1sEJTCs and http://bit.ly/1vIyILn

Meanwhile the white poppy grows ever stronger

• Anti-war veterans will carry a white poppy wreath on Remembrance Sunday. See http://bit.ly/1x0SDHq
  
• More and more people choose to remember the dead of the First World War with this symbol of peace. See http://bit.ly/1xhWIcr
  
• So many people ordered white poppies from No Glory that we were unable to satisfy the demand. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience.
• If you can’t find a white poppy through the Peace Pledge Union (http://www.ppu.org.uk) or a local peace group, then consider making your own – glue two overlapping pieces of white paper, each with four circular petals. Write Peace in green in the middle and fashion a stalk out of green garden wire.

Debunking the 9/11 'Debunkers' - The Debunker's "Building Design Differences" Argument!

ManAgainstCrime
Published on Oct 16, 2014

Debunking the 9/11 'Debunkers'. (1) The Debunker's "Building Design Differences" Argument!

Debunker : "The WTC buildings can't be compared to other high-rise fires that didn't lead to collapse, because those buildings had different designs!"

Some of the examples debunkers list as valid comparisons to the WTC buildings:

• Site and Sound Theater
• McCormick Place
• Kader Toy Factory
• Mumbai High North Platform
• Interstate 580
• World Trade Center 5
• Dogwood Elementary School
• Windsor Tower
• Faculty of Architecture Building
• Post & McCord Building (Greenpoint)
• Sydney Broadway Crane

Many in the list are offered by Chris Mohr - http://tinyurl.com/mnybxwy
----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­---

"Debunkers are quick to point to these smaller and more poorly designed steel structures as valid comparisons to the WTC, while at the same time they argue that other actual high-rises engulfed in fire are not comparable to the WTC due to “differences in design.” This argument is rhetorical nonsense. If we are to draw comparisons between the WTC skyscrapers and other structures, then we would logically want to compare them to other skyscrapers. Debunkers have demanded that those advocating the “no other high-rise collapses” argument provide an example of a skyscraper fire that matches almost exactly the conditions of the WTC on 9/11. The website debunking911.com, for example, has a detailed list of conditions which the anonymous author feels need to be met before drawing any comparisons. But again, this same author has no problem offering drastically different structures that have collapsed from fire as valid comparisons to the WTC."

----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­----

Debunkers may remind us, for example, that Building 7 had :

* Load-bearing perimeter walls
* Only 24 core columns in a very irregular distribution (NOT an equally-spaced grid)
* Long-span trusses between those core and perimeter columns
* Cantilevering of large sections of the building.
* Cantilevering of the core structure itself (there were, IIRC, at least three or four "H" spans at the lower floors... so those 24 core columns are actually 20 core columns or less at bedrock).

They insist that these design features need to be present in other high-rise infernos for valid comparisons to be made with WTC.

But do the Kader Toy Factory, or the Tacoma Bridge, or the Sydney Broadway Crane share these same design features? Debunkers happily offer these examples of 'structures-with-steel' built into them that suffered some sort of structural failure due to fire. And then compare them with the WTC buildings.

Even if we accept these non high-rise structures the debunker offers, how many of them completely imploded to the ground like demolition? None.

So the debunker's examples are much further down the comparison scale than high-rises in terms of DESIGN. And they are much further down the comparison scale in terms of what TYPE of collapses they were, compared to WTC.

The debunker's position is untenable.
