Faulty NSA Intel May be to Blame for Killing of Dozens of Peaceful Civilians in Maryland by drone strike.

In an action covered by HispanTv,  DC Media Group, and No Drones Maryland, dozens of demonstrators came out to the NSA headquarters in Fort Meade on May 3rd to denounce the NSA for its collaboration in extrajudicial drone killing. The day took a fatal turn, though, when hellfire missiles suddenly rained down upon the peaceful protestors.
Chaos and terror quickly overtook those
 gathered outside the NSA headquarters.
Many tried to stand firm and deliver their message
 against drone terror, but were quickly obliterated.



Janice Sevre-Duszynska, a Roman Catholic priest,
wailed and
 ministered to the victims.
Alfredo Miranda reporting on the attack.
As Alfredo Miranda of HispanTV reported "The NSA plays an important role in the drone program, providing intelligence to the agencies in charge of executing the attacks; information that is not necessarily correct." The coordinates provided by the NSA for a May 3rd drone attack must have been particularly inaccurate, unless the agency intended for the fatal drone strike to target the civilians gathered just outside its doorstep.
Faced with a new sense of the urgency of their mission, the
 survivors arose to stand in solidarity with those threatened by
 drone terror in Pakistan and Yemen. David Barrow holds up
a sign stating "DRONES HAVE KILLED 100s of Children."
Max Obuszewski stated the simple mission of the demonstrators:
 to gain a hearing with a member of the agency in order
 to discuss bringing an end to its involvement in criminal,
 indiscriminate drone killing.
Protestors remained strong and united as they marched onto the
 NSA campus. "STOP THE WAR MACHINE. EXPORT PEACE."
They soon engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience.

NSA police came out in force to arrest three citizen activists,
 seemingly feeling quite threatened by them.

A glimmer of doubt?

Demonstration May 3rd at the NSA Headquarters

May 3, 2014
IF NOT YOU, THEN WHO? 
 WE MUST STOP
THE KILLER DRONES!
 
"I believe in the principle declared at Nuremberg in
 1945: “Individuals have international duties which
 transcend the national obligations of obedience.
 Therefore individual citizens have the duty to
 violate domestic laws to prevent crimes
 against peace and humanity from occurring.”

-- Edward Snowden


On the occasion of Spring Days of Action against the killer drones the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance issues this call to action:
The National Security Agency is not only violating the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution by taking away the privacy rights of Americans and others around the world, but contributing to the deaths and the maiming of innocents, including children, in the NSA's role supporting the US CIA and US Military drone strikes.  The Obama Administration has already violated the 5th Amendment rights of Americans killed by the drones including Anwar al-Awlaki and his son in Yemen.

International law has been violated; the US drone strikes in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Iraq are war crimes. The NSA is culpable, and we must nonviolently express our First Amendment rights and responsibilities under international law to oppose the US Government and the Obama Administration's extrajudicial killings carried out in our name and with our tax money.

On Saturday, May 3, 2014 we will gather and peacefully assemble at the National Security Agency to hold a public witness against the its role in violations of international law, war crimes, and crimes against peace. Across the United States, citizen activists have been involved in challenging the killer drone program, and some of them have been arrested and jailed for being voices for the voiceless drone victims. 
The demonstration at the NSA will be nonviolent, and is open to all peace with justice people.  Some participants may be moved to risk arrest, however, the demonstration is open to all. 

 Please let the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance know if you are able to be at the NSA on May 3 by emailing Joy First at joyfirst5@gmail.com
A final planning meeting will be held on Friday May 2. Contact Malachy Kilbride at malachykilbride@yahoo.com for information on this important planning session.
The NSA, former employer of Edward Snowden,
 is located at Fort Meade, Maryland where the
 courageous US war crimes whistle-blower,
 Chelsea Manning, was tried and convicted.
If not you, then who, will join us on May 3, 2014?
Come out for peace with justice for all and be a voice FOR the drone victims and AGAINST US militarism and the violence of empire.
