This photo is from the LA demonstration in front of ABC on May 11. Below is a statement from Johnny Wave;

9/11 Truthers,

First off, thank you all, for what I learned of each person's bold responsibilities they have taken for this movement. I have nothing but gratitude for everyone.

May 11th was a great beginning for me, and I look forward to much more. It was great to experience a team that held my back while service member after service member tried their best to attack us. Each person who approached with negativity was ushered away by facts, and personal responsibilities. I've never actually been so proud of a group of people I had never met. I purposely pushed the envelope by wearing my uniform, knowing that I was still under contract of the Marine Corps' IRR. But it was a statement that had to be made, and I look forward to making it again.

Something that I wanted you all to know is the reactions I recieved from every astonished service member after they calmed down. The first person to walk up and tell me this movement would leave a black mark on my life, later admitted that he agreed with more of our beliefs than he could admit. (Air Force Officer) The second Marine simply told me "you can't do this yet." ...yet. The third Marine took my number and later called me with two other Marine Corps Officers to inform me that I was facing a dishonorable discharge, but also saying that I was an outstanding individual and more people needed to voice their opinions to stop this war. The fourth Lt. Col. actually gave me ideas to continue this march after three 9/11Truthers jumped down his throat in protection of our 1st Amendment.

Everyone did an outstanding job! Thank you very much.

I'll see you all soon,
Johnny Wave

Thanks to Johnny, Randy, Art and YT.

True, great pic and that is my current favorite sign

I wish I had 50 or 100 of them right now.

I'll have to see about getting some soon. (Maybe GD has some)

I like to staple them on both sides of the sticks (front and back) and mix them with my custom signs.

Well, I better get back on the road, more later, hopefully on highspeed, too.

(Lookout Seattle! LeftWright is coming to town! With my dancing shoes, too, LOL)

(btw - I showed Press for Truth to my blue collar buddies in the Upper Rogue River Valley last night and they really liked it alot)

Keep pushing the truth out there, brothers and sisters!

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

World-Class Photo

This is the type of artistic, political photograph that could win awards. I picked out four contrasting elements:

1 Marine ("ours is not to question why, only to do or die") vs. 9/11 Truth sign (questioning the unthinkable).
2 Dissenting Marine vs. obediant Marine (the guy in civilian dress arguing with him).
3. 9/11 Truth Movement (sign) vs. The Lies of The Main Stream Media (ABC building in backround).
4.Clear, sunny skies (peace and happiness in our land) vs. The Tempest buiding in our National Soul (contentiion about 9/11 Truth and The Iraq War).

If it got published in the MSM, this picture could very well come to symbolize our generation and the contentious times we are going through, not unlike what the famous Kent State/National Guard photo did back in the 1970's. That, of course, is a huge "if". This next linked photo won an award last year:

WARNING: THIS IS A LINK TO A SHOCKING WAR-RELATED PHOTO (but not gory): http://www.indymedia.be/en/node/7227
(I had to link to a German site to find this award-winning wedding photograph of a U.S. Marine. That fact alone tells us everything we need to know today about "American Journalism".

Site's belgian

anyway, powerful picture. Thoroughly shocking, but damn well exposing the true face of war. No surprise the MIC doesn't want people to see it -- but it is just what has to be seen. Like 9/11 Truth.

this is heroic. we need more military types, especially active duty.

very difficult

it's an extremely difficult decision. especially on active duty. if you do so, you violate UCMJ outright (being a part of a movement, especially such as 9/11 truth while displaying affiliation with military is not allowed whatsoever) and face court martial and the subsequent consequences which can really screw you over. it takes serious balls. As far as IRR (inactive ready reserve), not quite sure how that works. I'm sure it's not much different. You can probably smoke pot, grow a beard, go to protests and all that, they won't have a clue obviously (until you're called in that is, a draft more or less), but if you throw a uniform on and do it, people at the personnel centers and such can get the word pretty quickly from some by-the-book good ol boys who witnessed it and therefore likely to nix your honorable discharge (which you don't receive until the end of your committment even if you've separated from active duty). I may be wrong on the IRR, but I know with active duty it's basically saying good bye to your career and puts quite a stain on future employment.

It was VERY tough the first several years after...

... but I've NEVER regretted in my heart what I had to do.

I'll give Mr. Wave a job RIGHT NOW, if he needs one.

Nice.

If you stand up for truth and justice and humanity, you'll face the consequences. Don't have an opinion, don't think for yourself, and for god's sake, if you should fall ill with some of that disgusting independent thought, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! This is exactly the type of thinking I want hammered into the heads of the people they give big guns to. The whole of western civilization needs to re-examine somoe of its basic assumptions and practices that are taken for granted.

Is he part of a movement?

Or is he a citizen-soldier exercising his right of free speech?

I'm sure he considered the consequences, and his conduct is most becoming of an officer and a gentleman. The Marines are lucky to have him.

VERY Impressive!!

Taking the heat from fellow Marines must have been more stressful than any battlefield. Thank you for your bravery and dedication. You've started something wonderful.

Thanks Johnny

You really will cause a Wave. Regardless of any oaths you may have taken or any bureaucratic systems in place, you do not owe any allegiance to the Bush regime. If they discharge you and call it "dishonorable", you will have our support.

Johnny Wave... What can I say?

For starters, this one image is probably filling me with more hope than anything I've seen or heard up to this point. Military and police personell are one of the most, if not THE MOST important groups to have on board. The opinions of people in uniform make the difference between bloodshed and brutality, or peace and justice.

Truthfully, I've never been a "support our troops" kind of person. I know that people join the service for many different reasons, some because they are left little choice by a society in which they are totally disenfranchised. Still, it has never seemed justifiable to me to trade the lives of people in distant lands for a college education. War is murder, and there can be no rationalizing that fact. I have also strongly disapproved of the U.S.'s foreign policy and military stance for as long as I can remember thinking about such things. (The short exception being the time between Sept. 11 and the first utterance of the phrase "Axis of Evil".)

Now we are faced with a completely different reality. Service members are now, for the first time in many generations, given the opportunity to TRULY defend freedom, not just the corporate world's "bottom line".

I don't know anything about you, Johnny, or what kind of person you were before you "woke up". But I know now that you are truly a soldier, and a man, and a human being. Please help us wake up more of your brothers and sisters in uniform. I have great concern about the types of ideas that have been and are being inculcated into those in the armed services. Help your brothers and sisters understand that they must not perpetrate violence upon those who seek peace and justice.

Bauhaus.

The band is Bauhaus, and the clip is from a Tony Scott movie called The Hunger featuring David Bowie. That is a shortened version of the song though. The original is a 9 minute dirge. It is considered the "Stairway To Heaven" of "goth" music. Bauhaus' music is heavily influenced by Bowie, only with some darker overtones. I highly recommend them.
