"War is a racket" The MIC owns congress as board members direct foreign policy. Please support Ranked Choice Voting near you! >>

Regretfully, I'm effectively paid by the biggest profiteer of the war in Afghanistan... Lockheed Martin. I'm coming to this. I've been telling all my friends left and right about it. This is very encouraging. Thank you for organizing. >>

Robert McNamera wrote a book and said his Vitnam War was a mistake. In my community we lost 13 men. We had 13 McNamera Mistakes.
We have sent over $100 billion to fund another American driven war.
Like McNamera, Victoria Nuland has directed this war. Over 200,000 Ukrainians and Russian soldiers have lost their lives IN ONE YEAR!
Whose mistakes are they?
Are they 200,000 Victoria Nuland mistakes?
>>

The US is no longer a real democracy. It is controlled by the powers of national security State (military industrial complex) with their huge budgets under the guise of keeping America safe. The American people, who count on the news profession to provide them with accurate, independent information about foreign affairs, are the ultimate victims. >>

This is for Pat Tillman He was martyred by the same cabal that killed him. Shame on this country. >>

This broad based rally represents the kind of political movement needed to end the war in Ukraine and develop a far reaching anti-interventionist sentiment that can end the endless wars of the US and turn it from an Empire dominated by an Elite bent on dominating the globe into a normal nation serving its people... >>

Hope this helps in the cause. Unfortunately I cannot make it.

I'm making this donation specifically because you decided to permit Scott Ritter to speak at the rally.

End the wars. Lies and lying liars started them.

Conservatives and leftist united, it's a crazy world. Thank you

To prevent the unnecessary slaughter of the next 100k young Ukrainian men just as we were in Vietnam, by the U.S. Military Industrial Complex (Gen. Dynamics, Raytheon, etc.) and its employees: Biden, Blinken, Nuland, Austin, etc. >>


This is a cause I can heartily support!...enough of these senseless wars...from a retiree of the Department of Defense >>

Finally, some sensible activism. Coalition "IS" Democracy. Fear of Polarization Guarantees Corporate Profit by Divide & Conquer. My best to Mr. Nader, who never fails to challenge corporate America. >>

Americans are ready for a new relationship between us and the government we will tolerate, and the world is ready for a new relationship with America. A Gold New Deal. >>

Support peace all.

Incredibly grateful for your efforts! Please stop the war!

Let's make the most of our right to protest peacefully.

For my kids. Generations of people have been raging against the war machine and welcoming the energy of the next generation. We will continue until the machine no longer functions or we die trying. >>

11. Leave China alone

Because our country is being ruined/run through the media by the security State via the Pentagon, CIA (military industrial complex). USN/USMC Vietnam, 1967 to 68 >>

A country that promotes peace, not domination, exploitation and extermination is a goal devoutly to be wished. One suggestion: Dennis Kucinich is not on the speakers list, but would be a good one. >>


War is not the answer. Let us find a peaceful resolution to our differences.

Disband NATO
NATO expansion to Russia's border provoked the war in Ukraine. NATO is a warmongering relic of the Cold War. Disband it like the Warsaw Pact.
Global Nuclear De-Escalation
The war in Ukraine has brought us to the edge of WW3 and nuclear war with Russia. US intelligence agencies estimate a one in four chance of nuclear war, which would plunge the world into nuclear winter and kill almost all life on Earth. Adopt a no-first-strike nuclear policy. Drawdown nuclear weapons worldwide.
Slash the Pentagon Budget
Half of the federal discretionary budget goes to Pentagon. The military budget is $857 billion per year, and the Pentagon just failed its fifth straight audit. The Pentagon can only account for 39 percent of its $3.5 trillion in assets. Cut the military budget in half and return those funds to the American people.
Abolish the CIA and Military-Industrial Deep State
The CIA and deep state are an unelected permanent government of intelligence agencies that run our country outside of constitutional and democratic control. They surveille Americans, manipulate the media, curtail free speech, blackmail politicians, infiltrate activist organizations, torture people, overthrow governments, and assassinated President John F. Kennedy. Abolish the CIA and deep state and restore a government of, by, and for the people.
Abolish War and Empire
War and empire subjugate billions of people around the world to enrich a small group of elites. In just the past two decades, the US has waged and backed wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Palestine, Yemen, Ukraine, and other countries. End all US wars and regime change. Stop all military aid to other countries. End drone strikes. Close all US military bases abroad. Bring all US troops home. Build a world that guarantees every person freedom from war and empire in place of the collapsing US hegemonic world order.
Restore Civil Liberties
Restore the constitutional liberties taken from us in the name of war and empire, including freedom of speech, the press, and assembly. End mass surveillance, repeal the Patriot Act, and restore the right to privacy and habeas corpus.
Free Julian Assange
The US is charging Julian Assange with espionage and criminalizing our right to publish information that challenges the military-industrial deep state. He is imprisoned in the UK and being extradited to the US. The CIA plotted to assassinate him for exposing US war crimes. Free Julian Assange and all political prisoners.

The human race will never progress until we get rid of our illogical beliefs illogical thoughts and processes. This war in the Ukraine with Russia is all of the above. The Europeans NATO really need to stop lying to the people. The slow progress to a nuclear war serves no one but the USA agenda and the NATO political leaders. The European leaders must be blind deaf stupid and morally corrupt to pretend this is a glorious war based on true democracy. It is not. The Hungarian leader said it best. I was elected by the people for the people. This war is not for the people and we do what is in the best interest of the people of our country not political leaders. The human race needs to ask ourselves is this logical that millions of lives will be lost. and does it benefit human kind. Is it logical that we will destroy large areas of this beautiful planet. As a person and a father I want to live and I want my family to live and I want the human race to prosper become more intelligent and live in harmony with all people. I dont want to see the world destroyed and millions killed based on USA politics. They call themselves a democratic country. The USA democracy wants to see Europe back to the dark ages. This war is not about the Ukraine 100% it is about culling the European power wealth world class manufacturing and high paced technology development. Europe was enjoying massive trade and business with Russia. Europe and Russia were friends. The USA long term strategist could see if Russia and Europe became totally united they would be a super economic power in their own right. Just ask yourself why else would the USA Biden administration destroy the major gas pipeline to Germany from Russia. To ensure long term damage to Germany. Now the German government is buying gas from the USA at 5 times the price. So who is the beneficiary for blowing up the pipe line The USA. All this gas exports generates billions in USA tax revenue so the USA government can spend it on more weapons to send to the Ukraine so they can keep killing themselves with the strategy of dragging peaceful Europe in the war. My logical conclusion is the USA Democratic government is no friend to Europe Ukraine and other NATO members. The USA lied to the UK government and the rest of Europe in the invasion of Iraqi . The Weapons of mass destruction was a fabricated lie to orchestrate the removal of the Iraqi leader resulting in the deaths of many many thousands. This was the will of the President of the USA. Elected by the people who never got to choose if they wanted their government to lie to friendly countries create a war resulting in the killing of many thousands of people including American people who might have likely said no to such a crazy plan. END THIS WAR. Europe needs to tell the USA to F........ Off. ... >>

War is the most grotesque activity humans engage in far more dangerous to our survival than climate change because of the weapons we build and use and the profits that drive that industryas well as the human disaster promised in nuclear war.

Intervention Guide
Why are you intervening? Because you’re trying to hold your congressman accountable. But for what exactly? I intend for this guide to be available for the sake of posterity and to be used far into the future. So subjects may change, injustices will look different, but overall the principles will remain the same. Hold your politicians accountable to the injustice they are perpetuating. Some are actively a proponent of said injustice while others’ depraved indifference allows the injustice to continue. Meaning the politicians' inaction is what allows the injustice to go on.
Your job is to shine the light on them and expose them for what they really think.
What do you want the congressman to know? For one, that you know the injustice is happening and you’re there to call them out on their participation in it. For example, when AOC was confronted in October of 2022, she was told she had become the same establishment that she said she was going to fight. Now she’s an active proponent of weapons and money to Ukraine. She was reminded that not all Americans are on board with this war.
What do you want the people in the room to know? The people in the room are probably constituents or big supporters of the politician. You won’t change all their minds, but you might get one or two to consider what you’re bringing up to the politician. They may not understand what you say, but they’ll understand your sincerity and may be inclined to investigate what you bring up. You may be able to change some minds in the room, you may not. In fact, always anticipate the room will not be on your side.
What do you want the world to know? The interventions have gone viral not just in the US, but around the globe. When you stand up and speak, you are broadcasting a message to the world. Give them a reason to listen to you and support you. Call out the truth to the politicians and your message will resonate internationally. Therefore, stick to the subject. Try not to scatter your points too much. And keep it on the highest level so that all people can understand what you’re talking about. Stick to one or two issues that are related.
*Disclaimer, if you’re doing local politics and want to call out someone like the mayor for budget cuts, that's fine, but it wont resonate with people outside your community.
- Eventbrite. I find that going on Eventbrite and typing in “politics” or “political” or some variation of that leads to good results.
- Emails. Sign up to all representative emails in your area for as far as you’re willing to travel. I mean all. State Reps often have joint events with congressman and senators all the time. A senator or Congressman may not announce it, but the state rep sure will. So from the council member all the way up to state senator. Sign up for their emails.
- Social Media. Follow them on social media, facebook, Twitter and instagram. Especially their official rep accounts. They post community stuff there all the time.
- Contact them. Sometimes calling their offices or the offices of local reps will yield you with information on upcoming events, fundraisers or even insider events!
- Important phone numbers are written somewhere on your arm with a sharpie.
- Cameras of some type. Your phone(s) will be just fine
- Pre-registration confirmation. A lot of these events allow you to pre-register. Do it. Especially if it's your first time.
- Make sure you know what you’re going to intervene on. Refer to “Why am I intervening” for more
Make sure that at least one person is dedicated to being a cameraman. The others in the group who are prepared to talk should be recording their voice on the voice-memo app on iPhone or whatever the Android equivalent is. This is how we did the AOC Intervention.
The benefit of being in a group of 3 or more is that you can efficiently engage in a dialogue with the politician you are confronting. Very often, an excellent question may be asked by an activist, such as, "Was the U.S. responsible for destroying the Nord Stream pipeline?" However, instead of waiting for the politician to respond, the activist continues to speak, segueing into even more topics. Though this may be necessary for some settings (e.g., if no questions are being taken, you're by yourself, etc.) It is optimal to engage in more of a question/response/follow-up format. If you have 3 people at least, and if the Q&A is honest, this scenario can work well:
If the Q&A is honest:
- Attend the event but do everything possible to appear that you're not working together.
- Here's how it could go down with 4 activists:
- Activist A goes first. Provide a little context, then ask a single straightforward question. Avoid asking multiple questions. The politician will give a weak response. Refrain from interrupting.
- Activist B, once they're called, goes next and asks a follow-up question based on the politician's weak response to Activist A. Refrain from interrupting.
- Activist C, once they're called, asks another follow-up question, or changes the subject to something else that the politician is failing on. Refrain from interrupting.
- Activist D, follow-up question based on weak responses to earlier questions. And so on.
- Here is a script of what could take place:
- Activist A: Provide some light context, then go into asking if the US is responsible for destroying the Nord Stream pipeline.
- Response: No, or we don't know - dismissive response
- Activist B: Following up on the earlier response, why have you not inquired about who's responsible for destroying the Nord Stream pipeline?
- Response: Non-answer; we love Ukraine
- Activist C: Challenge the bullshit non-answer or segue into why we’re not advocating for a peace agreement.
- Response: Russia is evil; we must stop them.
- Activist D: Reference why we support Saudi despite what they’re doing in Yemen. Why doesn't Yemen get the same level of support from us? Palestine and Syria can be referenced as well.
- Response: dismissive answer
- Activist A: Provide some light context, then go into asking if the US is responsible for destroying the Nord Stream pipeline.
- Positives of this approach:
- Your chances of getting kicked out are significantly reduced. The longer you're there and the more questions you can ask, you have a better chance of getting responses and winning the audience over. The more the audience is engaged, the more the politicians will have to answer the questions.
- The audience will be more receptive to the line of questioning since you're not being painted immediately as an activist. Who knows, you might even get other audience members to ask the right questions.
- The video you produce from this will be better received and gain more attention since you're not painted as an activist but rather as a constituent asking very reasonable questions.
- It might be easier to get into other events; you won’t be blacklisted
- Examples of Honest Q&A:
There is a dishonest Q&A:
- Here's what I mean by dishonest Q&A: If the town hall or whatever event says they're doing a Q&A but want people to write their questions or write their name down to be “called on” later, you can bet that they're going to disregard or move on completely. The last thing the politicians want is to be confronted or challenged in an honest way.
- This means you have to stand up. Since you've got a group of three-plus people, the best way to intervene is to have one person go after the other. Here's a scenario:
- Suppose you're in the Q&A section of the town hall, and the questions are softballs. Stand up when it's the quietest or when the audience is mostly focused on what the Congressman is saying. Shout out a question, something like "Congressman! Why aren't you addressing the Nordstream Sy Hersh revelations?" and give the Congressman a moment to respond. If he does, hear him out. If he dismisses your question, or gives you a softball answer, keep the pressure on him. Don’t let up.
- Once you're escorted out, the second person should start once the crowd has settled again. This could be moments after the first guy left, or it could be a few minutes. It could be a repeat of the question posed by the first activist, or it could be on another topic altogether. Depends on what the intervention is about. Repeat these steps till you're down to the last activist.
- If you're the last activist, which means you're also the cameraman, you can either just leave or you can stand up with your camera pointed at the Congressman. As happened in our Mike Pompeo intervention.
If there is no Q&A:
- Similar to how you would handle a dishonest Q&A format, your team will need to stand up in order to be heard.
- You can decide for yourself when it is best to stand up, but make sure there is no background audience noise, like clapping and just generally make sure you're able to be heard.
- Here is a scenario:
- Activist A stands up and shouts out their comments or questions for everybody to hear. If the Congressman decides to respond, let him do so; if he doesn’t, continue the pressure.
- Activist B waits for Activist A to be escorted out, and once the crowd has calmed down, he/she can stand up and make their comments. These steps apply to the rest of the team involved, but also note that the crowd may already be used to shouting down hecklers, so it will be harder the more people stand up.
- Here is an intervention we did on President Biden at Sarah Lawrence College. We had a total of 5 people who spoke.
Make sure that one person is dedicated to being a cameraman. The person intervening should record themselves using a voice memo app on their iPhone, Android, or any other device.
Once the first person has finished intervening and has been escorted out of the event, the second person recording may decide to do their own intervention right afterward and record their perspective. Also, be sure to look for live streams or other coverage of the event so that you can use their footage as well. A good example of this kind of intervention is the most recent one against Anne Applebaum: https://twitter.com/JosBtrigga/status/1631482149336498183?s=20
If the Q&A is honest:
- Attend the event but do everything possible to appear that you're not working together.
- You should raise your hand and wait to be called on at first. If you respect the event, it will increase your chances of having an honest dialogue with the speaker. However, if you have not been called on and the event is about to close, then you should immediately speak up once the speakers finish answering a question.
If the Q&A is dishonest:
- You're most likely not going to be called on and shouldn't risk it. You should stand up and speak when it is appropriate to do so.
- An example of a dishonest Q&A: The event is not taking any verbal questions but instead makes you write it on a piece of paper, and then the moderator reads it out for the speaker. This is obviously a scenario when you know you are going to have to interrupt. If the format is dishonest, why should you show it any respect?
- Suppose you're in the Q&A section of the town hall, and the questions are softballs. Stand up when it's the quietest or when the audience is mostly focused on what the Congressman is saying. Shout out a question, something like "Congressman! Why aren't you addressing the Nordstream Sy Hersh revelations?" and give the Congressman a moment to respond. If he does, hear him out. If he dismisses your question, or gives you a softball answer, keep the pressure on him. Don't let up.
- Once you have been escorted out, the cameraman can either leave with you or speak up themselves. They can either address another topic or follow up on what was originally said.
If there is no Q&A:
- Pretty much the same as the dishonest one. You will be required to interrupt the speaker while he/she is speaking, so choose the right moment and project yourself loudly so that you can be heard. Be sure to text your cameraman or indicate to them that you are about to speak up so that they can start recording.
- Again, the cameraman may choose to either follow up or just leave if the first person's comments were sufficient.
You're going to have to rely on yourself being both the cameraman and the person. Do some research, and see if there's a live stream. Regardless of whether or not there's a live stream, you want to position yourself somewhere you can be heard by the speaker. Hold up your own phone horizontally and point it right at the person you're addressing. That's your best bet.
If the Q&A is honest:
- Reposition yourself to where you can be close to the designated microphone or in view of the person who's choosing questions to ask.
- You should raise your hand and wait to be called on at first. If you respect the event, it will increase your chances of having an honest dialogue with the speaker. However, if you have not been called on and the event is about to close, then you should immediately speak up once the speakers finish answering a question.
If the Q&A is dishonest:
- You're most likely not going to be called on and shouldn’t risk it. You should stand up and speak when it is appropriate to do so.
- An example of a dishonest Q&A: The event is not taking any verbal questions but instead makes you write it on a piece of paper, and then the moderator reads it out for the speaker.

If he dismisses your question, or gives you a softball answer, keep the pressure on him. Don't let up.
- Once you're escorted out, don't be afraid. Even though you're alone, you're not. You've got your rights. Refer to the "What to do when being escorted out" section of this document.
If there is no Q&A:
- Pretty much the same as the dishonest one. You will be required to interrupt the speaker while he/she is speaking, so choose the right moment and project yourself loudly so that you can be heard. Be sure to start recording and make sure you hold it horizontally and at the person you’re addressing.
