Mr. Friedman is focusing on the most extreme 9/11 conspiracy theories, while ignoring the sensible ones, to discredit them all. This author agrees that 9/11 was not a CIA plot. The government didn't have to orchestrate 9/11 they just had to allow it to happen. They take advantage of crises, they don't engineer them.

Protesting the shameful closings of children's lemonade stands around the USA, Robert Fernandes organized Lemonade Freedom Day. Protests took place in several cities. In Philadelphia Mr. Fernandes and his family were part of setting up a lemonade stand in Rittenhouse Square in center city. He explains why they're doing this in the video below:

The Brandywine Peace Community strikes again, this time protesting against Lockheed Martin building parts for nuclear missiles on the anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan during World War II. The protest went well with speeches, music, and the use of crime scene tape to block the entrance. The civil disobedience squad was arrested trying to deliver documents to Lockheed Martin.

After the protest I drove around to the spot where the Tea Partiers do their Saturday sign wave to share the message about Focus on Peace, the politically neutral peace movement. Some were receptive and some were hostile.

Braving the one-hundred degree heat, and looking like Brave Heart, Michael Heise lead a group that protested the brutal macing, arrest, & abuse of four young men on July 3 by the West Chester, PA police. He tells the sad story of what happened that night in this video.

All was going fine at the protest until the police stepped in to stop the bullhorning. See it for yourself:

In another video the same cop says that the 1st Amendment doesn't apply to bull horns. He says this at 11:50: http://youtu.be/...

The DECLARE PEACE FAIR was held at Independence Visitors Center lawn area 6th & Market Streets, Phila., PA on Saturday, July 2 from 1 p.m.Ã¢ÂÂ3:30 p.m.

Focus on Peace had a table at the event. As usual the participants were overwhelmingly on the left. Peace advocates that aren't so inclined need to come out and take part in such actions.

"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."
- Thomas Jefferson

We have also learned that despots prefer timid subjects. In the USA the imperial government desecrates the memory of Thomas Jefferson by insisting that all behave timidly in said place. Words like “solemn” and “reverent” flow from them to describe the atmosphere and behavior they expect at the memorial. Thomas Jefferson would have objected to this. He knew better than to call that liberty.

Thus, when we tried to protest their violently arresting people the week before for silently dancing at the memorial they moved in to stop us. Ultimately, the police prevailed by pushing everyone out of the memorial. Fortunately, no one was hurt or arrested.

The Focus on Peace trip to New York City for The Seventh Annual Brooklyn Peace Fair 2011 was a great success. From our table we got a large number of fliers and other literature out. Our message was well received by most attendees and fellow exhibitors. I was interviewed on camera twice.

The founder of Focus on Peace, Darren Wolfe, speaks about the new organization at the Agora I/O unconference in Valley Forge, PA on March 26, 2011. He explains why there is a need for a peace movement that isn't part of the political left. Darren goes into how a politically neutral peace movement, such as Focus on Peace, can bring into the movement many who will now have nothing to do with it.

King of Prussia, PA – Focus on Peace held its first action the "Sign Wave for Peace on the Anniversary of the Invasion of Iraq" on Saturday, March 19, 2011. It was a success with five peace lovers coming out to mark the 8th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. We stood on a very busy street corner in King of Prussia, PA. Our message seemed well received there compared to other places I've done this kind of peace advocacy at. There were many "honks for peace" and few insults.

Like most libertarians I want to advocate for peace. I’ve worked with the left’s peace movement and have been frustrated by the fact that they insist on attaching their social and economic agendas to their activism. They then strangely say they have an "inclusive" peace movement. An excerpt from "An Inclusive Antiwar Movement?" illustrates this point well:

This article was originally published at OpEdNews.com on February 15, 2009

With Abraham Lincoln’s birthday just passed on February 12th the media was replete with praise for him. Unfortunately, this whitewashed view of him is misguided. Rather than being the honest and resolute knight in shining armor that he is made out to be, on closer inspection he turns out to be one of the worst politicians Illinois has produced.

It would appear that a judge in Orlando, Florida, Belvin Perry, Jr. , likes his juries not to know that they have the option to nullify the law. He has put out an administrative order "GOVERNING EXPRESSIVE CONDUCT TOWARD SUMMONED JURORS". The order may be read in its entirety here.

Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA) activists have been tireless in their efforts to educate Florida juries of their power to nullify the law if they disagree with it or its application. Otherwise juries would be reduced to mere rubber stamps with the government able to convict anyone of anything they choose to make illegal. This is an established principle of law.
