Boycott for Peace on Pintrest!

As some of our readers already know, facebook has deleted all of Boycott for Peace's content once already.  Facebook recently had us on 'restriction,' while they 'investigated' us.  However, they never explained why we were on restriction, nor did they responded to our query about their 'norms' and how we may have abridged them. 

Before they deleted Boycott for Peace's content in the past, we found that certain features on the private group where the informal committee discusses and test drives our memes and our text information was having issues.  We were in the habit of developing threads on certain focus subjects, with many links in the comments to documentation.  Suddenly the search function quit working, we were no longer able to find our research.

Recently, facebook blocked several Boycott for Peace members from up-loading photos to the group.  Key members, as it turns out, preventing us from using that space to preview and discuss content. This development was concerning, as it may have lead to even more restrictive efforts on facebook's part, or even to them deleting all of our content again.

We are committed to speaking Truth to Peace and Peace to Truth.  Facebook may be able to censor content on its own platform, but they can't censor the entire Internet.  It was their first efforts at censorship that instigated our starting this blog. Their recent 'restriction' and 'investigation' prompted us to start a Pintrest page.

Is Peace Controversial?

In addition to the other issues mentioned on the meme, Boycott for Peace along with its founder, have been rebuked, excoriated, and read the riot act—because we will not call for, promote, or celebrate violence—and because, whenever possible, we do not allow other people to do so on our content pages.

We want to be clear.  We do support Indigenous and other oppressed people’s right to resist, in whatever way they can resist.  However, if no one speaks for non-violence and Peace, there will never be Peace.  We believe that resistance should be non-violent whenever possible and as soon as possible.  We believe that Peace is the goal, and that violence leads to more violence in a potentially unending cycle.  To stop that cycle we all need to take strident steps towards Justice, Equality, Freedom, and Peace.

Huge multinational-corporations support and benefit from violence, war, oppression, occupation, and colonization.  They profit from what is made to appear to be political, religious, national, and territorial conflicts; and they lobby our governments to engage in these conflicts at our expense.  We, however, are the ones that provide the corporations with their profits and with their lobbying budgets, by our spending habits.  We can change our spending habits.  We, the people of Earth, can change the whole economy, the whole political structure, the entire balance of power on our entire planet—by changing our spending habits.

This is what we support:  Economic Justice through Ethical spending.  Boycott for Peace!
