I highly recommend watching this video:

A Promise to Our Children

I will not be a part of the killing of any child no matter how lofty the reason.
Not my neighbor’s child. Not my child. Not the enemy’s child.
Not by bomb. Not by bullet. Not by looking the other way.
I will be the power that is peace.

The above video and promise are from a group called Fields of Peace that is highlighting one of the least welcome facts on earth. Since World War II the majority of the people killed in most wars have been civilians. And most wars have been waged in poor countries where the majority of the population is very young, and where many of the adult men have been recruited to fight. The majority of the civilians in these places, and the most vulnerable, are children. War “kills and maims more children than soldiers,” in the words of a famous UN report. In fact, in wars waged by wealthy nations in poor ones, the casualties are so lopsided, that children on just one side of the war can make up the majority of the war’s total casualties.

Ray McGovern, a former CIA and daily briefer for three American Presidents, is steaming at the rumors now being circulated as truth in The New York Times.

Read and wonder … have we totally lost our national integrity?

Please forward to your family and friends.

Dear CCI Friends,

Unbelievable! This happened yesterday!

Why would anyone sanction research facilities for creating a vaccine for Covid-19?

It is hard to believe that our country would do such a vile act. Who put this in motion?

Was it anger at not being “First”? Jealousy? Did they think they wouldn’t be found out?

Dear CCI Friends,

Two serious watchers of “all things Russian” make cogent points about this latest rumor being circulated regarding Alexei Navalny. Rumors spread diseased opinions when people in power are deeply worried about their own survivability.

David Speedie and Krishen Mehta are men greatly respected in their own fields of expertise. It is time more such persons speak out about contrived rumors making front page news in The New York Times.
