On the 18th of February, Obama began his "countering violent extremism" summit, which is mostly an event to coordinate police efforts to spy on and infiltrate Muslim communities. Outside, both Muslims and DC Ferguson activists called out this event for hypocrisy. The US itself was called out for the drone strikes used for extra-judicial executions throughout the Muslim world. This was compared to the routine and never punished street executions of African-Americans by killer cops, often by jump-outs in DC. Lastly everyone was reminded that the profile of almost every terrorist in the US has been an angry, armed white male. This includes last week's murder of three Muslims by a terrorist in North Carolina. No doubt Obama's summit will pay little attention to the ongoing drumbeat of mass murders by angry white men in the US.

Selected video highlights of the protest

On the 3ed of February, Code Pink somehow managed to get onto Faux News and Bill O' Reilly's show, and suggested their own way to stop ISIS: Cut off the flow of money from Saudi Arabia and other US allies that keeps ISIS afloat. They also reminded O'Reilly that the US invasion of Iraq created ISIS in the first place. That Isis/Daesh was born in reponse to US occupation of Iraq is shown by the orange Guantanimo jumpsuits their victims are always shown wearing in the execution videos. Some of their founders did time in Camp Bucca in Iraq, where former Gitmo guards had been sent to "Gitmo-ize" the camp.

Henry Kissinger is a notorious war criminal who must watch where he travels because of arrest warrants abroad. On the 29th of January, he found that citizen's arrest is also a danger. He showed up to speak before the Senate Armed Services Committee, only to find Code Pink was waiting for him. Considerable disruption ensued as the banners came up and Code Pink attempted to serve those international warrants via a citizen's arrest.
