[move][font=courier]Movie Trailers That Spark Activism from
‘Iolani School’s 7th Graders[/font][/move]
Posted by Katie-Jay on Monday, October 20, 2014
A BIG mahalo to ‘Iolani School world geography teacher Mr.
Epstein and his talented 7th graders. After Gabriel, KTJ, and
Sara-Christine of Team i-ACT brought Camp Darfur to the ‘Iolani
campus, Mr. Epstein and students went the extra mile to spark
social awareness by using tools – like iMovie – to create short
trailers to get the message across that WE (you and I) are the
ones who can bring about change and hope for the defenseless
victims of genocide.
Please take the time to view and experience all 7 short trailers
below. Each are different. Some use the same music and photos,
some have original content captured via smartphones, but each
trailer has astonishing facts that will take your breath away.
WARNING: Some of the images may be inappropriate for children
due to the disturbing historical events captured on film, but
each piece was created by ‘Iolani students with the intention of
bringing the dark side of genocide to the attention of their
peers, in order for them to understand that genocide and mass
atrocities are STILL occurring and should never have to be
experienced by anyone.

What do you think? Which video resonates with you the most? Do
you have a favorite video that compels you to act to end
genocide? Is there a particular video that made you realize how
cruel and disgusting humans can be to other humans? Vote below
– the students of ‘Iolani School and Team i-ACT would love to
hear what is effective. And the 7th grade production team with
the most votes at the end of this month (October) will receive
the infamous “Humanity Before Politics” t-shirts. [i]Mahalo!

SNIPPET:
That Trump murders with less sophistication, outward moral
restraint and credible claim to embody enlightened Western
values and multilateral commitment than Obama did is perhaps
preferable to some degree. It is better for empire to be exposed
in its full and ugly nakedness, to speed its overdue demise.

The U.S. is not just the top menace only to peace on Earth. It
is also the leading threat to personal privacy (as was made
clearer than ever by the Edward Snowden revelations), to
democracy (the U.S. funds and equips repressive regimes around
the world) and to a livable global natural environment (thanks
in no small part to its role as headquarters of global
greenhouse gassing and petro-capitalist 🐉🦕
🦖 climate denial 🦀).

News Analysis
SNIPPET:
Indeed, Secretary of Defense James ("Mad Dog") Mattis has said
that the president has the right to lock up anyone identified as
a "combatant" in our forever wars, well, forever. In 2016, he
assured the Senate Armed Services Committee that any detainee
who "has signed up with this enemy" -- no matter where "the
president, the commander-in-chief, sends us" to fight -- should
know that he will be a "prisoner until the war is over." In
other words, since the war on terror will never end, anyone the
US captures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Niger, Somalia, Syria, Yemen,
or elsewhere will face the possibility of spending the rest of
his life in Guantánamo.
Recycling War Criminals 🐍
Speaking of Mattis and war crimes, there's already plenty of
blood on his hands. He earned that "Mad Dog" sobriquet while
commanding the US Marines who twice in 2004 laid siege to
Fallujah. During those sieges, [color=maroon]American forces
[/color]sealed that Iraqi city off so no one could leave,
attacked marked ambulances and aid workers, shot women,
children, and an ambulance driver, killed almost 6,000 civilians
outright, displaced 200,000 more, and destroyed 75% of the city
with bombs and other munitions. The civilian toll was vastly
disproportionate to any possible military objective -- itself
the definition of a war crime.
One of the uglier aspects of that battle was the use of white
phosphorus, an incendiary munition. Phosphorus ignites
spontaneously when exposed to air. If bits of that substance
attach to human beings, as long as there's oxygen to combine
with the phosphorus, skin and flesh burn away, sometimes right
into the bone. Use of white phosphorus as an anti-personnel
weapon is forbidden under the Chemical Weapons Convention, which
the US has signed.
In Iraq, Mattis also saw to it that charges would be dropped
against soldiers responsible for murdering civilians in the city
of Haditha. In a well-documented 2005 massacre -- a reprisal for
a roadside bomb -- American soldiers shot 24 unarmed men, women,
and children at close range. As the convening authority for the
subsequent judicial hearing, Mattis dismissed the murder charges
against all the soldiers accused of that atrocity.
Mattis is hardly the only slightly used war criminal in the
Trump administration.
