September 11, 2015 Remembering the Sept 11th AttacksSubmitted by VFP Board President, Gerry Condon On the 14th anniversary of the notorious
September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, killing nearly
3,000 people, the mainstream media is full of the usual infotainment, with
virtually every possible point of view, except for the truth. Many people
question the official story of 9/11. There are certainly many reasons to doubt
that story, and many contending theories for what actually happened on September
11, 2001.<Full Story>Back to Top Call Out To VFP Members to Take Action On International Peace Day, Sep 21 VFP National is asking Veterans For Peace
members to celebrate International Day of Peace by sponsoring an event or
supporting, joining with and promoting current Peace Day efforts underway in
your city or town. It is the intent of Veterans For Peace National to help
popularize International Day of Peace to the point that it becomes part of
mainstream culture. International Day of Peace does not mean peace somewhere
else. To hold meaning to the average person, it must also mean peace in their communities. <More> E-mail casey@veteransforpeace.org for ideas on what you can do in your community.

Imminent ThreatImminent Threat is a feature documentary about the War on Terror's impact on civil liberties
executive produced by Academy Award nominee James Cromwell. The documentary examines legislation passed in the days after 9/11, foreign entanglements abroad, the war on journalism and the NSA. With interviews from prominent liberals (ACLU, CodePink) and conservatives (Cato Institute, Republican Congressmen), the film shows the unusual coalition being formed to challenge the two-party system and strike a better balance between security and liberty.
