On September 20, Celente will launch his new initiative. <br><br> He calls it &ldquo;a movement designed to reinstate the core values that gave birth to this nation and provide the tools for advancing peace and restoring prosperity.&rdquo; <br><br> He explains &ldquo;(o)ur future is being robbed from us by murderous thieves. Their wet dream of a never ending War on Terror has created a living nightmare.&rdquo; <br><br> &ldquo;Not only have these psychopaths hijacked our nation&rsquo;s wealth as our economy declines, their &lsquo;destroy and degrade&rsquo; mentality is depriving us of joy, beauty, peace, and freedom that are our inalienable and god-given rights.&rdquo; <br><br> America bears full responsibility for &ldquo;killing and wounding&rdquo; millions worldwide - an agenda of endless mass slaughter and destruction. &ldquo;The choice is yours. Join me and Occupy Peace, and do your part to help restore the dignity of the human spirit and the sanctity of life.&rdquo; <br><br> Celente lists five Occupy Peace &ldquo;guiding principles:&rdquo; <br><br> 1. Close America&rsquo;s empire of bases. Return foreign based troops home. <br><br> 2. Provide responsible homeland security according to rule of law principles. <br><br> 3. Deploy military forces to rebuild America. <br><br> 4. Prevent US presidents from unilaterally going to war. <br><br> 5. Give We the People real meaning. <br><br> Post-9\/11 wars rage endlessly. &nbsp;Countries continue being raped, millions ruthlessly slaughtered, millions more suffering disabling injuries.  <br><br> Carnage continues daily. New US wars assure more, including the madness of possible confrontation with Russia and\/or China. <br><br> Celente explained over 20 years ago how America,&rdquo; &ldquo;market(s) and s(ells) war&rdquo; - symptomatic of its longstanding violent culture, inventing &ldquo;new enem(ies) to hate and fear&hellip;invade and occupy, a rogue state waging endless wars on humanity. <br><br> Propaganda proliferated &ldquo;excuses are long gone. Our economy is barely sustaining itself&hellip;and our precious resources are squandered on war.&rdquo; <br><br> &ldquo;Occupy Peace will dispel the myth that war is good for the economy&hellip;(P)eace (alone) brings (sustained) prosperity&rdquo; - and preservation of life on earth. <br><br> Learn more at Occupypeace.us.
