Mother's Day Was Movement for Peace! Bernie Brings Peace & Prosperity, HRC Endangers World Peace

Originally the "Appeal to womanhood throughout the world" (later known as "Mother's Day Proclamation&quot by Julia Ward Howe, was an appeal for women to unite for peace in the world.

Written in 1870, Howe's "Appeal to womanhood" was a pacifist reaction to the carnage of the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. The appeal was tied to Howe's feminist conviction that women had a responsibility to shape their societies at the political level. In essence it was a movement to remind mothers to not allow their sons to go to war, to kill the sons of other mothers.

Anna Jarvis subsequently co-opted Howe's ideas, claimed them as her own, and changed Mother's Day into what it is today.
But lest we forget, the great Julia Ward Howe was a prominent American abolitionist, social activist, poet, and the author of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic".

Hillary Clinton and the Syrian Bloodbath

by Jeffrey D. Sachs




At Milwaukee Debate, Hillary stated:



But I would add this. You know, the Security Council finally got around to adopting a resolution. At the core of that resolution is an agreement I negotiated in June of 2012 in Geneva, which set forth a cease-fire and moving toward a political resolution, trying to bring the parties at stake in Syria together.


Except, Hillary was blatantly lying:

Dr. Jeffrey Sachs notes:


This is the kind of compulsive misrepresentation that makes Clinton unfit to be President. Clinton's role in Syria has been to help instigate and prolong the Syrian bloodbath, not to bring it to a close.

In 2012, Clinton was the obstacle, not the solution, to a ceasefire being negotiated by UN Special Envoy Kofi Annan.

It was US intransigence - Clinton's intransigence - that led to the failure of Annan's peace efforts in the spring of 2012, a point well known among diplomats.

Despite Clinton's insinuation in the Milwaukee debate, there was (of course) no 2012 ceasefire, only escalating carnage. Clinton bears heavy responsibility for that carnage, which has by now displaced more than 10 million Syrians and left more than 250,000 dead......

in helping to achieve the current Russian oligarchy through his "shock therapy" policies? OOPS!
