MEDAL
of CONSCIENCE
The
MEDAL of CONSCIENCE was
created by the
Global Peace Truth
Force [1983] to inspire Peace Activists to emulate the
Courageous Act of Conscience of the
recipients of the
MEDAL of CONSCIENCE.
Let the Militarist have their Medal of Honor; Peace Activists now have
their eqivalent and will recognize and honor their own
MEDAL of CONSCIENCE [a
Hand Clasp in Peace medal carried on
a
Rainbow of Justice scarf].
The
Global Peace Truth Force
was created by a Disabled Veteran of World War I.
Col. Wm. J. McCluskey was a 4th generation career militarist. As a
Marine Captain, he served with 3 Star General, and 2 time Medal of
Honor winner, Smedley Butler. Col. McCluskey thought Gen. Butler was
the most honorable Marine ever for his
Courageous
Act of Conscience in disavowing his long militarist career, his
recognition that he was a "was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism"
and his warning to the nation that "
War is a
Racket."
His son, Capt. o'Kelly McCluskey, also a Disabled Veteran, served as a
World War II Navy Combat Air Crewman from 1944 to 1946. From 1951 to
1957, o'Kelly, a 5th generation militarist, served as a career Air
Force Officer. Like Gen. Butler, o'Kelly finally woke up and quit his
Air Force Career in 1957. In 1968 o'Kelly was endorsd by Sen. McCarthy
as a Peace Candidate for Congress.
His Father joined o'Kelly's Campaign to stop the Vietnam War Crimes.
Early in the 1980's, Father and Son joined to create the Ghandi-like
Global Peace Truth Force. Like
Gandhi's Salt March to the Sea, people just join in. Like the
enlightment there is no "membership list," it is a movement. Just
being a part of it makes you a
Global
Peace Truth Force Activist.
But Like the Militarist Medal of Honor, Peace and Justice Activist need
Heroes to emulate.
The Global Peace Truth Force created the
MEDAL of CONSCIENCE to honor its
Peace Heroes.
Rachel Corrie's name is # 1 on the
Medal
of Conscience Rolls. She was killed while non violently
protecting the Human Rights of a Palestinian family.
The Roll includes the Helicopter pilot who stopped the 1968 American My
Lai Massacre .
And Lt Watada for his refusal to order his men to commit crimes in Iraq
like Lt Cally's criminal 1968 MyLai massacre.
Some ask,"BUT , what can I do? "
Benji LEWIS actions show us the WAY.
[ Name ] will present the Hand Clasp of Peace and justice,
Medal of Conscience to BENJI.
I.m proud to stand here with you all.
