Protest by throwing dimes at the U.S. Air Force!

12 Noon at the Truman St. Gate of Kirtland AFB, on Gibson Blvd. (just west of San Mateo SW)

The evil anti-personnel weapon called DIME (see below) was developed by the U.S. Air Force and is being used on the people of Gaza.

Kirtland AFB has a division of the Air Force Research Laboratory which designed the DIME weapons.

These weapons have been used on the people of Gaza and their lethality is horrible, causing cancer in 100% of the animals tested with the DIME materials. This means those not killed but injured will die of cancer.

It is time Americans stood up and put an end to supplying the terrorist state of Israel with weapons like DIME, white phosphorus, F-16s and unmanned aerial vehicles armed with Hellfire missiles.
