Hello Metta Center for Nonviolence,
With all respect, if you really want to help humanity and save the planet for many future generations, I humbly suggest you direct your courses exclusively to politicians, whose mission is to generate sales of what the war industry produces, both internally and exports. Sales through bribes, as competition from the same industry in Canada, UK, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, India, Norway, China, Russia, Japan, etc, is very high.
But the main point is that, even without competition, promoting wars and other forms of violence is a must for politicians, otherwise. To this end, they use school education, toys, games and sports, TV, cinema, etc.
I could send you a map on on a report that highlights the distribution of 697 defense startups, illuminating the global reach of the USA war industry, hypocritically called “defense”. Globally, these Death and Destruction companies hold over 67 000 patents, a testament to what politicians and the warmongering Media call “their pioneering spirit”.
These companies have last year received more than 2750 grants, underscoring their research capabilities and potential.
Your audience, apart from politicians, should include all manufacturers and their employees, as well as all members of the Armed Forces, the slaves of politicians, who must obey the marching orders from politicians and go on killing rampages or/and to meet their own death.
