VENCEREMOS: The Spring of a Renewed Anti-War Movement, March 20, 2010

By Mac McKinney

With the beautiful first day of Spring, 2010, despite draconian attempts by the Establishment to obstruct not only this but similar marches on the West Coast by arresting individuals for the simple act of putting up flyers, demanding huge bails and fines in the tens of thousands of dollars, comes a renewed and energized, peace movement that sees the intimate connection between all of America's social ills and war.

Authors Bio:
I am a student of history, religion, exoteric and esoteric, the Humanities in general and a tempered advocate for the ultimate manifestation of peace, justice and the unity of humankind through self-realization and mutual respect, although I am not a pacifist, nor do I believe in peace at any price, which is no peace at all but only delays inevitable conflict. There are times when the world must act. Planetary consciousness is evolving, but there are many retrograde forces that would drag us back down.

I have also written one book, a combination of poetry, photography and essays entitled "Post Katrina Blues", my reflections on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans two years after Katrina struck. Go to the store at http://sanfranciscobaypress.com/ to purchase. And I also have a blog called Plutonian Mac.
