Obama directives are to scrap the nuclear weapons, end torture and create needed work for the people. To say nothing about ending the aggressive war foreign policy required by the national and international laws signed on to by the U..S. Constitution as the Geneva Conventions of war, Nuremburg Trials, and the United Nations Charter, which are anti-fascist covenants. The Police seem to be very slow to implement these treaty agreements seeing as they took place appox. sixty years ago, or is it that the veterns of the second world war are old and dying they think they can get away with continuing the aggressive wars which are destroying the American and Holyland peoples living forerver. That is what Chop from the top is implying on this demonstration. The top has betrayed not the bottom working class people, and their edu. students. The scrapping of the war machine is the liberation side, ;stop hurting the poor and working class people. the wars are impoverishing us all.
