BOYCOTT AMERICA : DONT'T BUY GOVERNMENT BONDS
Just when you think that Trump had exhausted bad manners, he kills a very important Iranian in Iran's government with the aplomb of a Mafioso don. And by that barbaric act invites WW III. Don Trump doesn't get it. So how does the anti-war world get the notice of the United States and it's psycho president? Or in other words does any one besides Trump want WW III despite what he claims? America has one huge vulnerability. It needs money. It needs lots of money. So much so that the Federal Reserve has to buy it's own bonds in the open market because there isn't enough demand from other nations. So in the interest of world peace every United States bond buyer should boycott funding America's war machine by not participating in U.S. Government auctions. Interest rates would sky rocket immediately. And only then would American voters have to choose between war and peace. Right now we have it both ways. That goes against nature. So let's get in step with natures rhythms and capabilities and cut out the budget of the Pentagon . I'm tired of voting for peace and getting yet another war from both party's presidents.HELP.Sanction America before Trump kills again. P.S. our commander-in-chief has broken faith with our armed forces by his irresponsible criminal behavior.Therefore our soldiers have no moral or legal obligation to obey his orders. Sit out this mideast folly and send a loud message of "no" to Trump's invitation of slaughter.

The Stuff Of Legends And Religions
Next month will be the 39th anniversary of the 1968 Democratic National Convention that was held in Chicago. The convention largely represented the birth and strength of the anti-war movement in America. In it's wake, it brought along other cultural changes and movements that would change the U.S. forever. These included the environmental movement and American-style socialism with expected and unexpected applications of the newly passed Civil Rights legislation.
The poster group for the counter-culture was the Chicago 8 later to become the Chicago 7 when Black Panther Bobby Seale had a separate trial. The Group was primarily made up of activist, socialist/communist Jews. The leader was Jerry Rubin. The message was anti-war, anti-establishment, anti-business, anti-critical thinking and some would add anti-personal hygiene. Despite the mostly unsustainable agenda, the group and others did change the course and culture of America. Subsequently President Nixon did stop the Draft and other politicians were elected to office as anti-war representatives.
So with some clever editors in a hundred years from now, could Mayor Daly become a kind of Roman governor like Pontius Pilate and the scene of the riot at Lincoln Park become an Insurrection On The Mount Historical Landmark? Could the Chicago seven 7 be like the 12 Apostles? Could Jerry Rubin be a more modern anti-establishment Jesus? Is this the way the Catholic Church stumbled into existance?
