Peace\, Your Neighbors \nAnd furthermore\,\,\, \nAppeal to the Governor of Penna.\, the civilian head of PA Air National Guard\n*Tell PA Governor Tom Wolf\, : BAN PA DRONE WAR OPERATIONS!\nGovernor Wolf can really do something to stop drone warfare. \n“Our appeal is that the PA Air National Guard be removed and banned from all participation in U.S. drone war policy\, domestically and/or around the world. This appeal includes but is not limited to the drone war remote command operation at Horsham Air Guard Station\, and to training of drone war computer pilots (operators)\, and stationing of drones for training at Fort Indian Town Gap headquarters of the PA National Guard and PA Air National Guard. The killing must stop. Let it begin here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania\, called by its founder\, William Penn\, ‘a divine experiment’.” \nSee Nick Mottern’s piece in KnowDrones.org piece on this recent step for bringing the PA Governor to account for the PA Air National Guard’s hosting and participation in ongoing drone warfare operations internationally\, domestically\, and throughout Pennsylvania. https://www.knowdrones.com/updates/2019/4/3/taking-drone-war-protest-to-the-state-level \nFor more informatiion\, call the Brandywine Peace Community\, 484-574-1148 \nNonviolence Discipline for Demonstration Participants\nTo assist in the unity of demonstration participants\, and to project justice\, our humanity\, and moral message:\n1. We will not carry weapons.\n2. We will not vandalize or destroy property.\n3. We will not use or carry alcohol or illegal drugs.\n4. We will not run or make threatening motions.\n5. We will not insult\, swear at\, or attack anyone\, refraining\, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, from “the violence of fist\, tongue\, or heart.”\n6. We will not assault\, verbally or physically\, those who oppose or disagree with us.\n7. Our attitude\, conveyed through our words\, symbols and actions\, will be one of peace\, openness\, and respect toward everyone.\n8. We will remain focused on the message of the demonstration\, cooperate with the planning of the demonstration\, and help maintain its nonviolent discipline.\n9. If an individual has a serious disagreement with the organizers of the action that cannot be resolved\, the individual will withdraw from the action.\n10. We will maintain — in word and deed — our nonviolent resolve for peace and justice. \nInitiated by the Brandywine Peace Community\, the nonviolent campaign to stop the drone war command operation has the endorsement of the following groups and activists: Bryn Mawr Peace Coalition; BuxMont Coalition for Peace Action; Catholic Peace Fellowship; Coalition for Peace Action (Princeton\, NJ); Death Walk Against Drones; LEPOCO (Lehigh-Pocono Committee of Concern); Germantown Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers); Global Women’s Strike/Phila.; Granny Peace Brigade—Philadelphia; Green Party of Philadelphia; Greens of Montgomery and Bucks County; Main Line Peace Action; Pacem in Terris (Wilmington\, DE); Payday men’s network/Phila.; Peace & Justice Ministry of St. Vincent’s Roman Catholic Church in Germantown; Philly Against War; Peace Center of Delaware County; Philadelphia Catholic Worker; Shalom House/Circle of Hope; Veterans for Peace; Vietnam Veterans Against the War; Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom (WILPF)\, Phila-Delco. \nBackground\nMarch 2013 the U.S. Air Force announced\, along with local\, state\, and federal officials\, plans to establish a drone war command center within the 111th Fighter Wing of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard\, at Horsham Air National Guard Station. \nThe purpose of the drone war command center in Horsham is remote-controlled killing. From Horsham\, computer piloted “Reaper” drones are directed to targets thousands of miles away. \nThese attack drones carry deadly Hellfire missiles and laser-guided bombs that are fired by computer “pilot” command from the U.S. against people in Pakistan\, Afghanistan\, Yemen\, Syria\, and Somalia. Drone strikes have killed thousands of people\, mostly civilians and children whose images and faces may have appeared on the pilot’s computer monitor. \nThe multi-million-dollar drone command center in Horsham is a central part of the growing network of drone bases\, training sites\, and command centers\, crisscrossing the U.S\, funded by billions of U.S. tax dollars\, and enabling remote-controlled drone strikes around the world. \nMillions in federal dollars were appropriated in October 2013 for the drone command center at the Horsham Air Guard Station\, which became fully operational in 2016 and is now conducting drone killing ‘missions’ from Horsham\, PA.\nhttps://theintercept.com/drone-papers/ \nMore on drone warfare\, see www.knowdrones.com \n‘Meet the Reaper’\, the MQ-9 Reaper DroneUnmanned\, remote-controlled\, 66 foot wingspan\, 4\,900 lbs.\, 230 mph cruise speed\, 1\,150-mile range\, 50\,000 max. altitude\, $53.5 million (FY 2006 dollars)=cost of four aircraft with sensors\, (not counting weaponry and remote-control technology)\nReaper Weaponry: Hellfire Missiles (Lockheed Martin); Paveway/GBU-38 Laser-Guilded Bombs (Raytheon) \n\n\n\n\n\n
