Dear Comrades<br>
Please read the article about global significance of RIMPAC.<br>
Most Americans and many around the world have little know ledge of
RIMPAC, the military exercises or "war games" that the US conducts
around the world month after month, year after year. Most Americans
have never heard of <b>RIMPAC </b>(Rim of the Pacific) exercise
which has taken place in Hawaii and California every two years since
1971. The media gives it almost zero attention so, unless you live
in Hawaii, you probably have never heard of RIMPAC. But considering
the impact of these exercises and the implications they hold for
people around the world. RIMPAC 2018 is happening now in Hawaii and
will end on August 2nd.

“One cannot live with sighted eyes and feeling heart
and not know and read of the miseries which affect
the world.” Lorraine Hansberry
"Maybe the purpose of being here, wherever we are, is to increase the durability and occasions of love among and between peoples." June Jordan
"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart." Khalil Gibran
“Love is a choice — not simply, or necessarily, a rational choice, but rather a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guide. Love is a conversion to humanity — a willingness to participate with others in the healing of a broken world and broken lives. Love is the choice to experience life as a member of the human family, a partner in the dance of life.” Carter Heyward
"A village is always somewhere burning
And if you do not look because it is not your village
it is still your village.” —Elena Bell
