Assassination Complex: Inside the Government’s Secret Drone Warfare Program.

“Joe Biden apparently wants to see Daniel Hale buried in prison to set an example for potential whistleblowers because the documents that Daniel so courageously released reveal the atrocities, illegality and moral impossibility of drone warfare and drone surveillance,“
said Nick Mottern, co-coordinator of BanKillerDrones.org.
“We’re demanding that President Biden pardon Daniel Hale.”
“This outrageous explosion of watchlisting – of monitoring people and racking and stacking them on lists, assigning them numbers, assigning them ‘baseball cards,’ assigning them death sentences without notice, on a worldwide battlefield – it was, from the very first instance, wrong” – anonymous source who gave the documents to The Intercept
Confirmed speakers for July 17th include:
Susan Schnall, member of the National Board of Veterans For Peace (VFP) and President of the New York City VFP Chapter 34; Sally Jones, President of the Peace Action Fund of New York State; Sara Flounders, co-Director, International Action Center; Margaret Kimberley, Black Alliance for Peace; and Debra Sweet, Director, World Can’t Wait.
The “Raging Grannies” will sing at 9:45 a.m.
The event will include many visual elements, including large banners and black-robed, deathmasked figures carrying rag dolls symbolizing children killed by drones.
