In March 2023, Ellsberg wrote that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer which had progressed beyond medical treatment. The doctors estimated in mid-February that he had three to six months of life left.[94][95]

I Remember Seeing Daniel Ellsberg at an Anti-War Protest March at the White House in 1991.
George Bush the Father was President and He was Leading the War Called "Operation Desert Storm" Defending Kuwait from an Invasion by Saddam Hussein and Iraq.
During this war the USA First Deployed Lockheed's Stealth Bombers... They were totally invisible to Iraq's RADAR and They successfully Bombed Baghdad... while Losing ZERO Airplanes. The Iraqi Military could not see the Airplanes to aim their Anti-Aircraft Rockets SO... They Just fired ALL THE ROCKETS Randomly... because they knew SOMETHING was up there SOMEWHERE because The City of Baghdad kept on Blowing UP!
It's an interesting Scene in the Film...

I applied for Work at Lockheed Once... Sadly, Not Hired... I was at a Job Fair in Santa Clara and The Guy at the Lockheed Booth said My Work Experience as a CADAM Designer would be a Perfect Fit for their Company... So I went to Lockheed the Next Day and... NO ONE WAS THERE at the Human Resources Building... Just an In Box to put Your Resume... It turned out that at that time Lockheed was Laying Off People and The Booth at the Job Fair was There to Give the Illusion That Lockheed was "Doing Great"

One side effect of the First Gulf War was that the USA Built an Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia... and That Angered Osama bin Laden... So He decided to Teach America a Lesson on 9/11 at the World Trade Center... This is Called "BLOWBACK" Unexpected Consequences of Actions... Who could have Possibly Have thought that Osama would be Unhappy with the USA building an Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia?

My participation in the 1991 Anti-War Protest March at the White House... The Organizers had a Parade Permit to March from the White House to the Lincoln Memorial in the Streets of Washington DC... and That Parade Permit EXPIRED at 4 PM... anyone Still in the Street would be arrested... So... We all walked over to the Lincoln Memorial and MADE A DECISION... Should We Sit down in the middle of the Street and Get arrested OR Stand on the Side Walk NOT Get Arrested... The Police had Busses ready to take Protesters to Jail... and "Jack Booted Thugs" standing in the street facing the sidewalk... so Everyone Knew Exactly what the Choice was... Daniel Ellsberg and a Hundred other People Sat Down Right in the Middle of the Street BUT I DID NOT... I Chose to Remain on the Sidewalk... and NOT Get Arrested... I was High on LSD at that Time and I chose to NOT spend my Acid Trip in the DC Jail... One thing about LSD is it Amplifies Emotions... That Decision Seemed EPIC...
I went to Many Anti-War Protests in Lafayette Park that week... and One time I Got to Play the Big Bass Drum in a Drum Circle... There was a Man who brought a Marching Band Bass Drum to the Protest but got tired of Holding it up while playing... so he asked me to take over so he could take a break... It took me a moment or two but eventually I got in the groove with all the other drummers and Banged it Really Loud! The Goal was to Remind George Bush The Father That We Were There and we were Protesting Against His War... and Disturbing His Sleep!
on another afternoon I played the drums with some Buddhist Monks... They Loaned me a Paddle Drum and taught he THEIR BEAT... It was a Very ODD and Complex Beat... I asked WHY and they said... You are required to FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION in order to Play this Beat, and Focus of Attention is The technique used by this Meditative Practice...
Quite a Different to The Classic American Practice of Taking a few BONG HITS and Banging on the Drum for Hours...

In retrospect, The Vast Majority of Americans were Delighted with that War "Operation Desert Storm" mainly because WE WON! ...and we protected the OIL... and It Looked Great on TV News... "Rocket's Red Glare and Bombs Bursting in Air" LIVE! - and It Proved that American Technology could Beat Primitive Sand People wearing Towels on their Heard and Riding Camels...
I've always questioned the wisdom of The USA Helping Saddam Hussein Become the President of Iraq... "Our Man in Baghdad" turned out to be a bad Choice...
Here's an Interesting History Study...

PRO- AND ANTI-WAR FEELING EXPRESSED ACROSS NATION
By Paul TaylorJanuary 18, 1991
According to a 1994 Senate report, private American suppliers, licensed by the U.S. Department of Commerce, exported a witch's brew of biological and chemical materials to Iraq from 1985 through 1989. Among the biological materials, which often produce slow, agonizing death, were:
* Bacillus Anthracis, cause of anthrax.
* Bacillus Anthracis, cause of anthrax.
The American company that provided the most biological materials to Iraq in the 1980s was American Type Culture Collection of Maryland and Virginia, which made seventy shipments of the anthrax-causing germ and other pathogenic agents, according to a 1996 Newsday story.
While it is Obviously Insane to Sell Anthrax to Saddam Hussein... The US Government Approved the Sale! WHY?

My Father and I Disagreed about the 2003 War in Iraq that was Lead by George Bush the Son... Dad Said That When Someone Else Spills a Glass of Milk, you should clean it up... In this Case: Ronald Reagan and Donald Rumsfeld Helped Saddam Hussein become President of Iraq... That was a Mistake... However, George Bush the Son had a Duty to FIX That Mistake... Of Course, Ronald Reagan was DEEPLY into his Alzheimer's Disease at that time and GUNG HO Marines like Oliver North were Actually Running the Country...
and Here we are in 2023... I have come to Appreciate my Father's Opinion... and One Other Factor has Emerged... We Now have EIGHT BILLION People Alive on Planet Earth... and Our Use of Depleted Uranium Bullets in Iraq caused an Increase of Miscarriages... and FEWER PEOPLE in the Middle East... a Classic Example of Genocide... People that Have THOSE GENES will not be Having Children for Thousands of Years... and... That's Wonderful!
Not Only did We Help Reduce the Population Those People Over There but We Found an Excellent Place to Dispose of Atomic Waste Created in Nuclear Power Plants... Make DU Bullets and Shells and Spread 'em all over Foreign Countries!
Here's an EPA Article about the SUPERFUND Cleanup Site of Nuclear Metals... near Concord Mass...

I wrote on that Wiki Article: For some reason BOTH of His Anti-War Protests at the White House were Not Listed.
So I Added The word BOTH and A Sentence and a Link to a Washington Post Article Verifying the Truth of My Statement.
Activism against both US-led wars against Iraq.
He Protested at the White House Against the 1991 Iraq War Called Operation Desert Storm. George H W Bush was President. [40]

I referenced this Washington Post Article:
PRO- AND ANTI-WAR FEELING EXPRESSED ACROSS NATION
By Paul TaylorJanuary 18, 1991
"Here in Washington, signs such as "Bush is Now the Butcher of Baghdad" filled Lafayette Square at the evening anti-war rally sponsored by a broad coalition of clergy, civil rights and peace activists, environmentalists and nuclear-freeze proponents.
"I stand here in solidarity with millions of people around the world who deplore the action taken yesterday by President Bush," Molly Yard, the president of the National Organization for Women, told the cheering crowd.
Longtime peace activist Daniel Ellsberg, speaking in a voice hushed by a sore throat, also implored the crowd to continue their protests. "We must be here in streets across the country," said Ellsberg, who was joined at the speaker's lectern by the president of the environmental group Greenpeace, the anti-nuclear group Sane Freeze and the co-chairman of the African American Network Against U.S. Intervention in the Gulf."
