Direct From Stratcom - Justin Kemerling




Description - Protest Poster

••• I've been working on this project with Tim Rinne from Nebraskans for Peace off and on for the past couple of weeks. He needed something that said Bush was going to bomb Iran and Stratcom was the trigger. My first design had the bomb read "From Omaha With Love, President Bush." He thought that was a bit harsh for most Nebraskans to take. I agreed. This is what we eventually decided upon for the protests taking place in Omaha and Lincoln. Then I was in Vancouver for vacation and Katie and I hung out at the World Peace Forum opening rally, where, amongst others, Cindy Sheehan was a guest speaker, and low and behold, we run into Tim who says that there happens to be so much resistance now against the bombing of Iran that North Korea is the new target. He was handing out the posters but had very craftily swapped the countries out under the bomb, and bammo, new message, watch out North Korea. I guess that just goes to show you, it doesn't really matter who the country is, there's most likely a U.S. bomb pointed at it.
