Introduction started at the 4:00 minute mark. Judith LeBlanc of Peace Action said that as PA and PDA work together on several projects anyway, we needed to find a way to work even more closely. She was quite certain that the “geyser of money” that the Pentagon has enjoyed since September 11, 2001 is definitely going to be reduced. There are a number of groups that are united against the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The Day of Action will be conducted on Tax Day (April 15^th) and PA will be conducting educational protests to commemorate it. They'll also take a look at the devastating impact of sequestration.

Sandy Davies spoke on war crimes in Iraq 10 years on and what's being done about them. For instance, the usual, standard procedure for dealing with snipers was simply to annihilate the whole building that the sniper was in, killing everyone inside.

US carried out several provoking exercises in the vicinity of North Korea that appear designed to elicit a disastrous reaction.
