Drone warfare, its legality, ethics and military use, was examined at a workshop held on the campus of Johns Hopkins University, at Remsen Hall, in Baltimore, MD, on Tuesday afternoon, April 16, 2013. One of the panel members was Medea Benjamin, a peace & social justice activist and cofounder of CODEPINK. She is also the author of the book, “Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control.” It was disclosed during the discussion that U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) has admitted that “over 4,700 people” have been killed in drone strikes. Ms. Benjamin said that the opponents of “killer drones” need to work hard to give the use of these lethal weapons, “a bad name!” She underscored that recent polls show that a “negative image” on their use in growing throughout the country. Ms. Benjamin proposed as as starter “to get the use of drones out of the hands of the CIA!” She insisted that there continued use is “counterproductive” to our national interest and plays right into the hands of “our enemies.” To learn more about this controversial issue, go to: http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/category/projects/drones/ and http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-rise-of-the-killer-drones-how-america-goes-to-war-in-secret-20120416 and http://www.codepinkalert.org/article.php?id=6064 and https://www.facebook.com/hrwgjhu?fref=ts

Over four years ago, President Barack Obama promised to close Guantanamo Prison! It still remains open. At noon, on Thursday, April 11, 2013, over a hundred Human Rights activists staged a "Day of Action" demonstration in front of the White House, (and, at many other sites around the country, too), to remind him to keep his word on this important public policy, legal and moral issue. At the end of the rally, Peace & Justice Activist Frank Cordaro of the Catholic Worker Community in Des Moines, Iowa, read a poem, entitled, "Is It True?" It was written by one of the prisoners at Guantanamo.

The War You Don't See is a 2010 British documentary film written, produced and directed by John Pilger with Alan Lowery, which challenges the media for the role they played in the Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel/Palestine conflicts.

The film begins with footage of an unreported July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike and black and white stills of the victims of the U.S. Occupation of Iraq. In his opening narration Pilger quotes World War I British Prime Minister David Lloyd George's comment to Guardian editor C. P. Scott that, "If the people really knew the truth, the war would be stopped tomorrow." He goes on to state that this film will draw on his own experience as a war correspondent to question the role of the media in conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan...

(to Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces")

You fall to pieces
At just the sound of their name.
You fall to pieces,
Now we've wised up to their game:

They want us to think that you work for us
Because we wanted you,
Went to the polls for you.
Well we're sorry we see what you say and do:
They say "boo," and you fall to pieces.

You fall to pieces.
We see what you're all about.
You fall to pieces.
You're only there to sell out.

You know who puts butter upon your bread.
You'll jump through hoops for it.
Do loop de loops for it.
If you get out of line just a little bit
They flash cash and you fall to pieces.
They flash cash and you fall to pieces.
