       We commit civil disobedience at General Electric because this genocidal entity is the fifth leading producer of weaponry in the U.s. … We wish to challenge the lethal lie spun by G.E. through its motto, “We bring good things to life.”  As manufacturer ot the Mark 12A re-entry vehicle, G.E. actually prepares to bring all things to death.
