Member of Recent Peace and Fact-Finding Delegation to Syria to Speak In Port Townsend
Gerry Condon, the Vice President of Veterans for Peace, recently returned from a week-long visit to Syria as a member of a Peace and Fact-finding Delegation. The delegation met with representatives of numerous NGOs, heads of industry, religious leaders, and high-level representatives of the Syrian government, including a personal meeting with President Bashar al Assad.
Condon, who was a co-leader of the delegation, stated: “Almost everything we read about Syria in the media is wrong. The reality is that the U.S. government is supporting armed extremist groups who are terrorizing the Syrian people and trying to destroy Syria’s secular state. In order to hide that ugly reality and push violent regime change, the U.S. is conducting a psychological warfare campaign to demonize Syria’s president Bashar al Assad. This is a classic tactic that veterans have seen over and over. It is shocking, however, to realize how willingly the media repeat this propaganda, and how many people believe it is true.”
Condon will be speaking about the delegation’s findings in Syria on Sunday, September 11, at 7 P.M. at the Quaker Meeting House located at the corner of Sheridan and 19th. Condon and Veterans for Peace are also sponsors of the historic anti-nuclear peace boat “The Golden Rule” which will be in the 2016 Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival.

We will meet at the Meeting House between 7 and 9:30 on Thursday evening Nov. 17 and Tom Butts will facilitate some practices developed by Joanna Macy that she calls The Work That Reconnects. These practices begin in gratitude, create a safe space where we can express our feelings no matter what they are, and be supported by the group, then move on to commitments of action.
All are welcome. People are encouraged to bring a poem or a song to share. We will begin promptly at 7 and anyone coming later will be potentially disruptive to our process, so out of courtesy to all of us, please be prompt.
People can email Tom at tombutts10@hotmail.com for further information.
