ACTION ALERT:
Kings Create Wars Create Kings Create Wars Create Kings Create Wars

(October 15, 2025) — War is in fact the true nurse of executive aggrandizement. In war a physical force is to be created, and it is the executive will which is to direct it. In war the public treasures are to be unlocked, and it is the executive hand which is to dispense them. In war the honors and emoluments of office are to be multiplied; and it is the executive patronage under which they are to be enjoyed.
It is in war, finally, that laurels are to be gathered, and it is the executive brow they are to encircle. The strongest passions, and most dangerous weaknesses of the human breast; ambition, avarice, vanity, the honorable or venial love of fame, are all in conspiracy against the desire and duty of peace.
That’s how James Madison said that wars create kings and kings create wars.
ACTION: If you want neither kings nor wars, consider turning out this Saturday for a No Kings rally near you.
Our effort to compel media outlets not to all become open propaganda services for the Pentagon seems to be working. Keep the pressure on here.
Keep the First Amendment Alive
Our push for Congress to prevent a war on Venezuela has not yet succeeded. The Senate has voted down a measure to do that; the Speaker of the House has illegally refused to hold a required vote; and the butt-naked emperor / Noble Peace candidate is murdering everyone aboard various Venezuelan boats as a matter of routine, while using U.S. cities to practice for foreign wars.
Sign and share this petition please.
No War on Venezuela!
Things you can do at the No Kings Rallies:
- Wear the peace message.
- Build the movement with peace pledge sign-up sheets.
- Hand out flyers.
- Print and carry these super cool signs.
- Take photos and videos, and send the best with permission to publish to info@worldbeyondwar.org.
