We just opened our first meeting location in Amsterdam!

The precise circumstances of Aaron’s death were, of course, exceptional. But suicide itself is not an unusual cause of death in the United States. This is an important fact that must not be overlooked.

He came from heaven to earth

He has a pure and flawless soul

He watched demons in human skin slaughtering people but was unable to do anything.

When he turned his head and looked at the group of compatriots behind him who were helping others to harm others,

His heart is full of anger, disappointment, suffering, torture and pain

But he knew that compared with those who were trapped in the genocide, his suffering was as light as a feather.

He called out to Heavenly Father for salvation in his heart, but in front of him was endless darkness.

He raised his hand fearlessly and flicked his fingers several times in an attempt to summon the Holy Light of Heaven, but what he received was the silence of the Heavenly Father.

Without hesitation, he lowered his head and reached out to hold Satan's hand. The flames of hell instantly engulfed him.

He roared angrily, "Freedom!" ! ! ! His roar resounds throughout the world

The blazing flames outlined the wings behind him, and he proudly and independently glared at the group of devils, scum, insects, and lackeys...

At that moment, a glimmer of light lit up in the abyss of endless darkness, and in an instant it shot straight into the sky, lighting up the whole world.

Satan looked up at his body, trembling uncontrollably.

He did not sacrifice, his anger turned into a sharp sword, his purity turned into a strong shield, he chose to stick to the boundary between human beings and hell forever.

////////////////////////////////////////////////

As a soldier, he did not betray his honor;

As an American, he did not betray his country;

As a human being, he did not betray his conscience;

As a young man, he did not betray his pursuit.

Faced with extreme abuse,

He despairs at the indifference of the world;

He was ashamed of what his country had done;

He had great sympathy for those who had been violated;

He hated the perpetrators with utmost hatred.

Therefore, he used extreme behavior to fight against it.

With an absolutely strong identity, he

For those victims whom I have never been related to,

In the most brutal way,

Gave up his life.

He did not discredit his country or his army, he did not harm anyone else, and he died cleanly and innocently.

Soldiers are not afraid of death, but a real soldier is not for aggression, but for protection.

He is a real soldier.

Compared with some soldiers who only get orders, he is a real man.

There is no doubt that he is a hero, a true hero who should be remembered by the world.

His sacrifice is meaningful. He used his life to prove to the world, especially the people of Western countries, that the tragedy in Gaza is indeed happening. The moment he lit the fire, the glory of humanity shone. He is a respectable martyr who practices the moral principles in his heart without hesitation.

I finally saw....the real people fighting for freedom!!!

​

////////////////////////////////////////////////

Countless people say that Americans are eagles.

However, only the blazing air force warriors allowed people to see the wings of the Hawk.

His soul is so pure, a breath of fresh air in the sewage.

The burning body was like a bright star, rising from the ground and rushing to the eternal heaven.

Some may say that he is not worth sacrificing his young life for Palestine.

However, he did it to protect the few lights.

May he be able to watch Palestine liberated, and may his soul rest in peace.

​

////////////////////////////////////////////////

My father and I will devote our loyalty to the country,

I give kindness and generosity to others,

I sing my inner praise to my blood.

But countries impose war on other countries,

Politicians use stigma to slander heroes;

The nation has made its homeland a river of blood.

And me?

I will scream with my life!

Let the flames surround me,

The wind blows out its magnificent wings!

Let the Internet spread me,

Spread the everlasting spirit!

I will burn my life with dancing flames!

Let it burn!

Burn it out!

Shout out with blazing life:

Free Palestine!

Free Palestine!

Free Palestine!

​

////////////////////////////////////////////////

The red fire burned his body, trying to purify his guilt. What was burning was not his body but the blood that was difficult to wash away. What was dancing was not the flames but the souls of the dead who died in the war. His conscience awakened, and he saw the blood on his hands. There were men and women, old people and children. They were all innocent people, and he was the sinner. He saw his own sin but not his countrymen, not those who were deceived, and the fire ignited and licked his blood—the same blood of those innocents that tore at his flesh—nothing like those who suffered. The strange flesh burned his bones - bones that were no different from those of a dead person. When the flames were extinguished, he died and atone for his sins.

He was like Jesus that day, gasoline was the holy water for his baptism, countless Pakistanis were the people he suffered, the narrow-minded Jew was the Jew who sent him to death, and the compatriots who were still deceived were the people he was going to save, and the fierce fire It was his cross, and the embassy was his execution ground.

The most civilized and barbaric, the most religious and blasphemous.

Perhaps no one should have shown mercy that year because those who showed mercy did not receive a happy death, those who took in were annexed to their country, and those who were generous died in poverty. Those who are pitiful must be hateful, and some people are so hateful that they don't want to pity them.

The arrogance of claiming to be the most civilized, the greed that can only get in but not the way out, the rage that provokes war, the gluttony that insatiably consumes, the laziness that plunders others, the lust that demands excessively, the jealousy that covets others, the guilt written in their scriptures is by them.

Despite all the crimes, they still brazenly occupy the holy city in the scriptures. Perhaps the iron hoofs of justice have crushed hell and crushed the devils who caused harm to the world, but don’t forget that the first people the devil touches are sinners.

Why? Innocent blood to be shed? Why? Are the awakened ones going to self-immolate? Why? The devil is still alive!

Can't say, can't say, can't say...

Dear Comrade Aaron Bushnell:

You are a great soldier and an international pacifist fighter who should be included in history. I have never met you, and I didn’t even see your face clearly in media reports. I only know that your name is Aaron Bushnell. But that doesn't stop me from respecting you. In today's impetuous world media, your news may only become a sensation and become history, or it may not be remembered by the world. I also hope that in this way, I can leave a message from a foreign country to you, an international friend and a great international pacifist fighter. You are burning with fire, but you are like a hurricane. You died to make your ambition clear, but you took your time. You are a proud eagle, and with you is the call for justice and democracy. You are the true wind talker, and those who follow you are the true liberal spirit. You have a noble personality and a pure soul, and you are a well-deserved warrior.

At the same time, I feel very sorry for your passing. The eyes of the whole world are paying attention to you today. The fire in you is like a nirvana phoenix reborn from the ashes. What you light up is a ray of humanity in the long gloomy night. Please forgive me for not being able to understand what you have gone through. Please forgive me for not being able to feel the pain you are going through. You used your mortal body to save the souls of Palestine so that they would no longer be confused in heaven. May your great soul rest in peace in the holy Hall of Valor! I also hope that the postman from heaven can deliver my letter in the vast sea to your mailbox in time.

Tribute to the international pacifist warriors of love

Aaron Bushnell,

February 27, 2024

I have killed countless Aaron Bushnells, but there is no way it could be this Aaron Bushnell —this man —this San Antonio, Texas —this military family —this United States Air Force Cyber security officer and engineer —this active duty officer in the U.S. Air Force

"Lyrics of "Last Confession": You burn yourself, warm the earth, let yourself become ashes, and let the wisps of flames dance. That is your last confession."

"The fact that the lighter failed to light up several times was the angel's last attempt to save him. "

"The people who created the war sat in the office and snooped on everything, while the good people swore resistance with their lives. "

"Burning under the raging fire is the glory of humanity that will never be extinguished!"

"Fire can only burn your body, but your soul will never be destroyed."

"The speed of dispatching the police is great! ! Faster than GTA5!"

"If you haven’t seen the original video, you can check it out. When the flames swept through his entire body, he still stood there unswervingly, shouting to liberate Palestine. I have never seen a healthy human being burned by flames up close. The time of the death scene, from the light of fire to when he fell there, was shorter and longer than I imagined. It was so short that the last burning in his life ended in an instant, and it was so long that he screamed so much. Many times, it is amazing willpower to say nothing and pay tribute to the hero"

/////////////////////// (in need for chinese context) /////////////////////////

"Tan Sitong had a good friend named Tang Cichang.

Tan Sitong died as a bold reformist in the late Qing dynasty, but there are always people with lofty ideals who will continue to move forward along his path and inherit his ambitions. Tang Caichang followed in Tan Sitong's footsteps and launched the self-reliant army uprising.

Did Tang Caichang succeed? No, he failed. He was completely defeated. Even Tang Cichang himself was killed by Zhang Zhidong.

But, did Tang Caichang really fail? No, the legacy was passed on. His student Huang Xing inherited his ambition, led the Huanghuagang Uprising, and directed the Wuchang Uprising to bury the feudal empire with his own hands.

Was the Huanghuagang Uprising successful? No, they were completely defeated and seventy-two martyrs died.

But, did the Huanghuagang Uprising really fail? No, there was a young man named Zhang who survived. Later, together with countless comrades, he personally overthrew the decadent old society and became China's founding general. His name is Zhang Yunyi.

Did Tan Sitong succeed? No, he failed, and even he gave his precious life.

Did Tan Sitong fail? No, Tan Sitong had two students, one named Cai E and the other Yang Changji. Cai E had a student named Zhu. Yang Changji had a student named Mao. You and I all know what these two did. (Mao is the founder of the People's Republic of China)

Tan Sitong, Tang Cichang, Li Dazhao... countless people with lofty ideals, did they fail? Their lives were over, but I could clearly see that in the boundless darkness where thousands of horses were silent, they were burning with their passion and blood, turning into a ball of beating flames, burning silently, and silently fighting for their lives. People in the darkness point the way. I also saw that one after another, when the flame was about to extinguish, Tan Sitong used his own life as fuel without hesitation, making the flame hotter and fiercer little by little. Until half a century later, the man with a Hunan accent (Mao), holding this ball of fireworks, transformed into the eastern sun and completely engulfed the boundless darkness.

Tan Sitong could have survived, but he did not choose to retreat. You never know what you will bring to the future if you give in less. One day, I would like to be the first in the world."

Aaron's last post on facebook:

​

Many of us like to ask ourselves,

What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid?

What would I do if my country was committing genocide?

The answer is, you're doing it. Right now.

I keep on watching the video and I can’t Help but think about how fucking stupid this guy is. A lot of people around me are talking about how brave he is and I just can’t help but think Aaron’s death may be the single dumbest death ever

I think he might be childless

Why do I feel like he is still alive? I mean I really hope he is because I don’t trust the news. Eh but he shook my world. I really can’t stop thinking about him and what he did. I really hope no one ever takes this Route. We need more beautiful souls like him to be alive in this messy world.

I need to see it to confirm what the media sais and because I am curios Allah free palestine and Allah curse Netanyahu and his allies

I think the Aaron Bushnell incident shows what a sick society we live in. People can't simply disagree or discuss things anymore, it always ends up in petty insults and immature memes.

Aaron wanted his death to attract attention to the Palestine conflict, which it has. So he didn't do it entirely for nothing.

Could he have done it a different way? Yes. But he had his mind set up and he had had enough. I get it. I think people mocking him are the same type of people that wouldn't stand up for anything in their own lives so can't comprehend the desperate sacrifice he made.

Rip Aaron. We heard you.

"Lighting oneself on fire is not a tactic that anyone who is of sound frame of mind would choose to employ lightly. It is an action borne of desperation, of the feeling that no other tactics, from writing and calling elected officials to attending protests to engaging in civil disobedience, have any ability to hasten the end of the stream of horrors we have seen in Gaza since October. Bushnell’s action was extreme, but many among us can surely relate to his feelings of hopelessness, rage, and heartbreak engendered by watching ethnic cleansing live on our social media platforms"

-Seraj Assi

His name is Aaron Bushnell

But do you think the means he used to make his voice heard was correct? Not disrespecting his sacrifice in any way...I really respect people like him but at the same time there could have been other ways through it too right?

That day will forever be marked 2/25/24 RIP Aaron Bushnell

Some of you are thinking about this person who killed themselves more than your parents or family or kids. They werent even that smart. Some of his friends said he was failing his college classes and he was planning to kill himself anyways. You never know the full story.
