A while back, maybe two or three years ago as things seemed to be winding down in the Middle East, or at least when the American presence was scheduled to decrease in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, and before Ukraine, Syria, Gaza and now the Trumpian war clouds brewing over Iran and North Korea and a number of other flash points erupted I mentioned that every once in a while it is necessary, if for no other reason than to proclaim from the public square that we are alive, and fighting, to show “the colors,” our anti-war colors. I also mentioned at the time that while endless marches are not going to end any war the imperialists decide to provoke the street opposition to the war in what appeared then to be the fading American presence in Afghanistan or whatever else the then in power Obama/Kerry cabal has lined up for the military to do in the Middle East, Ukraine or the China seas as well as protests against other imperialist adventures had been under the radar of late.

Over that two or three year ago summer there had been a small uptick in street protest over the Zionist massacre in Gaza (a situation now in “cease-fire” mode but who knows how long that will last) and the threat of yet a third American war in Iraq with the increasing bombing campaign and escalating troop levels which expanded into bombing raids over Syria for who knows what side-or for what purpose. Although not nearly enough had occurred then and a similar situation exists now with North Korea although people, many young people which is a good sign are out in the streets for other causes too numerous to mention in escalating Trump Administration’s desire to return this country back to the 8th or 9th century maybe earlier-the last time the Moslems got uppity with Western civilization or something like that it changes day to day.


As I mentioned at that earlier time it is time, way beyond time, for anti-warriors to get back where we belong on the streets in the struggle against Trump’s push to seemingly endless war (we will not forget that they were inherited without a murmur from Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama’s seemingly endless wars. Including his surreptitious “drone strategy” to "sanitize" war when he is not very publicly busy revving up the bombers and fighter jets in Iraq, Syria and wherever else he felt needed the soft touch of American “shock and awe, part two.”

As I also mentioned back then and nothing has come up on my radar to deny the continuing reality the UNAC, particularly since the collapse of the mass peace movement that hit the streets for a few minutes before the second Iraq war in 2003, appears to be the umbrella clearing house these days for many anti-war, anti-drone, anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist actions. Not all the demands of this coalition are ones that I would raise, or support but the key ones of late are enough to take to the streets. More than enough to whet the appetite of even the most jaded anti-warrior.
