Ray McGovern, Dennis Kucinich, Judge Andrew Napolitano, Scott Ritter, Gerald Celente, Garland Nixon, Roger Waters (video) and Joe Lauria addressed a rally in Kingston, NY Saturday in defense of sanity in a world gone mad.

I am 4 years younger than Ray McGovern and so understand the story telling style of an old man — my kids and other ‘youngsters’ are often the recipients of such verbal largesse. But there is a difference, McGovern has more interesting asides — engaging and well worth the occasional meanders — than even my best material.
My favorite people.
Peace and Freedom indeed.
Just this weekend we had two Iraqi war vets commit two separate mass murders on domestic soil: today at a church in Michigan and yesterday at a restaurant in North Carolina.
I remember thinking during the run up to the Iraq War in 2002/early ’03 that for several years after the dust settles in Iraq (still not settled of course) we’re going to face a wave of violence and carnage here on the home front for decades to follow from returning veterans deranged in the head from the bloodletting they committed and witnessed.
THANK you so much for this very welcome
and much-needed moral encouragement!
a soundtrack for the spirit of people who prefer
peace over eternal warmongering and destruction
is very helpful as well. to think that we still have to
“imagine all the people living life in peace …!”
i know that those who benefit from war
tell us that “peace does not pay!” and work relentlessly
to put us all in a bellicose MOOD. i prefer SUMUD.
to unlearn, and overcome!, self-righteousness, arrogance,
hatred, mistrust, denigration of others & insatiable greed.
a truly herculean task with mankind being so unkind …
Just watched this. Some great speeches and moving statements. Thanks to everyone.
Who is the only woman in the center of the photo? What were her comments? Obviously pretty controversial to have been so clearly skipped both in the identification and significance. Significant in her exclusion?
Oh! Diane Sare, Independent Lyndon LaRouche candidate, I get it. Quite a call to order regarding her presentation and solution!
I sit here in East Anglia UK. I can’t eat my lunch for tears. Gerald’s stirring speech, tells us what we could have been. Instead we, the UK taught the US how to colonize and exploit the rest of world. His speech well choose the reference to favoured nation friends. Was the evil that ever so clear as now. Yet only this handful of decent souls remember what we should have made of this beautiful planet.
This was amazing.
I didn’t see this event posted until it was apparently already over. Will the video be made available to watch again?
The full video is now available above.
Thank you for that!
My wife and I both wish we could be there. Best wishes from Wisconsin.
Would be nice if they could address the rise amongst hypocritical LIBERALS in censorship of Palestinian writers/books, like the recent band of families forcing the school district to ban a book for children in Chappaqua NY: hxxps://pen.org/press-release/advocates-and-authors-call-on-chappaqua-ny-school-leaders-to-reverse-ban-on-young-palestinians-speak-book/
