What happened since 9/11? There was a time before endless war, but here's a chronicle of the actions the government took since then, and the public protest that resulted.
Veterans Organization Supports Colin Kaepernick
St. Louis, MO. Veterans For Peace, a national organization made up of military veterans and military members, released a statement in support of Colin Kaepernick.
What happened when Obama came to the East-West Center?
Last night more than 200 people stood near the entrance of the East-West Center to "greet" President Obama. About 100 held signs: "U.S. Military Destroys the Planet," "No TPP," "No More Ko`oholawe's", "Navy Sonar Kills Whales," "Military Occupation is Not Conservation, "No DOI Rule Over Kanaka Maoli" and many, many more. Many of the people without signs were UH students hoping to get a glimpse of Obama.

Tell Them About Yemen
Debra Sweet | August 26, 2016
When people living in the U.S. express disbelief, or shock, that the U.S. is involved in overt wars & secret ops in 7 Muslim countries, because Obama "wouldn't do that," tell them about Yemen.
Anti-War Activists Protesting The Air & Water Show Provide Spectators A Chance to Use the Thinking Part of Their Brains
Chicago chapter, World Can't Wait | August 26, 2016
The annual Chicago Air & Water Show, sponsored by Shell Oil and Boeing, is the largest such free public display of deadly military airpower in the country. Jets screech across the skies above the Chicago lakefront for most of a weekend, projecting the sounds that terrorize large swaths of the world. Here, the City offers this spectacle as “entertainment." Some people flee the city to avoid the sounds and the crowds. Last Sunday, World Can't Wait and Voices for Creative Nonviolence went into the thick of it to bring some truth and challenge people attending what our banner declared to be “The Air & War Show.”
He Will Never Be Allowed To Tell What They Did To Him
Abu Zubaydah is the "poster child for the torture program, and that’s why they never want him to be heard from again,” said Joseph Margulies, his attorney.
Andy Worthington, who has written many articles on Zubaydah over 10 years, summarizes:
George Homanich 1948-2016
We mourn the death of George Homanich last week in Binghamton, New York. George and his wife Judy have protested many times at Hancock AFB, the Syracuse NY drone base. They frequently made the trip to NYC to join protests to stop US wars, against killing by police, "stop & frisk," and for the rights of Palestians and many others. He was arrested numerous times, and did some jail time, for protesting drones, Guantanamo, and the imprisonment of Chelsea Manning.
Close Guantanamo Never... or Expand It?
Asked about Guantánamo in the past, Trump has said he would like to “load it up with bad dudes.” He wouldn’t specify to the Herald whether as president he would again allow terrorism suspects captured abroad to be transferred to the detention center.
U.S.A.: Force for Good in the World? Or Neck-Deep in Blood?
Very regularly over the last 11 years, since World Can't Wait was formed to drive out the Bush regime, I've received suggestions, and sometimes grand plans for how to raise the demand to abolish nukes, the military machine, the drones, spying, and so forth.
