9 Arrested in Good Friday Protest Against Drones at Hancock Air Base in NY - Top U.S. & World Headlines — April 17, 2017

2017-04-17T15:37:59.824Z

In New York state, nine peace activists were arrested on Good Friday at a protest outside the Hancock Air Base in Syracuse, New York. The activists blocked the entrance to the air base by tying themselves to crosses resembling drones. This is Charley Bowman of Buffalo Peace Center.

"Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. Recognizing that 70 percent of our nation identify as Christian, we come to the gates of the Hancock drone base to make real the crucifixion today. As Jesus and others were crucified by the Roman Empire, drones are used by the U.S. empire. In Roman times, crosses loomed over the community to warn people that they could be killed whenever the empire decided. So, too, our drones fly over many countries, threatening extrajudicial killings of whoever happens to be in the vicinity."

U.S & NATO: A Policy of Killing Innocent People to Spread Democracy! - Graphic Content

2012-05-08T17:51:34.154Z

Two pieces of big news for our small organization:

1. TPF President Mark Manley is off to Chicago later this month to represent us at the anti-NATO counter-summit being held there; and

2. TPF shifts its focus to the increasingly indiscriminate use by the U.S. of its remote-controlled aerial drones; so the theme for the next peace vigil in Tulsa will be "Ground the Drones! UAVs kill civilians!!"

Of a piece with this indiscriminate drone warfare that kills civilians with every strike (making their use a war crime), is the U.S. Navy's targetting of civilians in coastal cities with their cruise missiles, as illustrated graphically in this clip.

(Thank you, Mark, for finding this power human interest story, the kind that we never see on the mainstream media in this country.)
