And there's Code Pink and a bunch of other groups that I can't think of now.
And, climate activists are actually peace activists because the two issues
are related.

Chris Hedges is my current most favorite peace activist. Also, Thom Hartman
is an ordained minister. Thom is more moderate than some others, but still
has a handle on our oppressive foreign policies.

There's David Swanson and his World Without War website, emails, andbooks.
He keeps plugging away. And Chris Hedges is also involved in peace
activism, along with other things. He does function on a
religious/philosophical level. But as for a mass movement?

Of course it is not only that we do not hear of peace activists within
the Christian/Catholic Church, the fact is, we do not hear of any of
the many peace activists quietly doing their job. It's un-American,
or at least anti Empire. But in Spokane Washington, there is a
little known Jesuit college, Gonzaga by name. If you follow college
basketball you will know their name.
But those darn Jesuits are as Peace Active as you'll find. Back in
the 70's and 80's, when my folks still lived in Spokane, my dad, an
avowed Atheist, wandered into a peace rally headed by a group of young
Jesuit Priests. My dad was thrilled. He began spending almost as
much time at Gonzaga as the priests, themselves. Isn't it interesting
that Gonzaga has a national reputation as a feisty, scrappy little
giant killer, on the basketball court, but no word of the work those
priests have done to promote world peace. Of course those "young"
priests are now in their 60's, and since my parents no longer walk
this Earth, I'm out of touch with what the newest crop of Jesuit
Priests are doing. But I have to believe the tradition lives on. It
is simply muzzled by the Empire's
Media. After all, the Empire is for Peace, too. On its terms.

I agree, though I'm long since a lapsed Catholic. These are simply
good and moral people.

Hi
I admire these priests. They live what they say. Fr. Carl is such
a fantastic person. Even though he is in his 80's when he talks of
his entire voice changes he sounds like a man of 60. I'm so glad I
met
him.
