Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report. The anti-war movement

roars back to life. On February 19th, the National Mall in Washington DC saw its largest

anti-war rally in 20 years. The speakers list included four former U.S. President

of Canada and a broad and diverse collection of anti-war activists from beyond the left

and right. The aptly named Rage Against War Machine rally drew thousands of attendees.

However, many pro-war advocates eagerly pointed out that it did not match in size to some of

media engages in war propaganda nonstop with the only exception being Fox News's Tucker Carlson.

So I think it's a miracle anyone had to courage to travel to the heart of the war machine in

Washington DC to make their voices heard. We don't need a majority to fight back and educated

Jill Stein. Political commentators Jimmy Doar and Chris Hedges were there along with many

leading and well-spoken libertarians. Everyone backstage carried the same message. We must put

is starting to catch fire both at home and overseas. The DC rally was followed by a much larger

anti-war rallies in Paris, Berlin, London and elsewhere. Several recent polls including

by Pew and AP show that American support for Ukraine is evaporating. Even in the EU new polls show

a public turning sharply against their government support for the war. According to a recent

Ipsos poll less than half of the German support continue to send weapons to Ukraine. Change is in

the air. The DC rally took place in the backstop of Seymour Hersh's explosive investigative report
