It doesn't matter if you regard
yourself as being on the political left or the political
right, or outside the political-economic grid. Bombs,
bullets and other ballistics will never be smart enough* to
care or knowif you have a heart for innocent little people
getting their lives destroyed by transnational empires
fulfilling the diabolical power games of super-rich
oligarchs vying for control of operational systems, new
technologies, ideological power structures and material
'resources', including humans. [*We need to be worried that
weapons are being developed in an artificial intelligence
matrix that could make them 'smart' enough to know a
populations' associations]. What matters is, it is
you who can contribute to peaceful world by making
yourself visible to oppose violent conflict. The March for
Peace has been coordinated with the Auckland
Police.
