Not In Our Name is at http://www.nion.us or http://www.notinourname.net
….On Oct. 6, 2002, Not In Our Name organization put together an
enormous 30-40,000 strong demonstration in Central Park resisting the
imminent invasion of Iraq by our US govt. Yesterday the Times ran a tiny
and patronizing, meager article in the Metro section, not on the front
page or first two sections, and The Daily News ran a small blurb on
their front page, "Thousands Stage Anti-War Protest in Central Park"
with small photo, and inside page 9, a pict of the huge amount of people
that showed up over a huge bolded title for another article: "Daschle
tips W on Iraq, Says Congress set to back Prez on disarming Saddam". The
News is lying to the world, and ignoring stark opposition to this war on
humanity, 'for humanity's sake'. Don't let it happen.
To Everyone,
I am looking for ANYONE with any connection to news or public access, to
documentary circuits, or screenings at Univerities, public forums, or
any public venue possible which can air "To The People Over There",
publicizing the actual turnout and the real speakers present on October
6, 2002, at New York's anti-war rally in Central Park. I have a one-hour
long piece that has got to get aired nationally and in Europe to show
what children and college students, as well as thousands if not millions
of adults, are thinking and feeling about putting Iraq into a war.
Women and men from Iraq were there to speak about what their country is
like, now. It is horrifying. But to hear what it will be like when we
invade is paralyzing; we will invade and conquer, rape, and kill
children, to divert this American numbed out highly unemployed society
from the actuality of our problems here. It is Denial on the largest
scale, and we can not sacrifice other lives for our own troubles, nor
can we demand regime change when we have a self-appointed president in
an imperialist regime ourselves. We have no right to do this, and it is
largely to do with OIL and diversion, as well as Bush's personal
vendetta against Saddam, who tried to kill his daddy. The repercussions
will be horrifying if we don't do something now, ourselves. Please help
resist.
The fact that there was not a single network present to cover the event,
and a minimum of coverage in the papers, means that there is no one out
there who will accurately present the dissenting voice that is strong
and growing in America, but not visible in the media; this makes it
increasingly dangerous for Americans to go abroad where that dissenting
voice is nearly deafening. Don't let others or yourselves be the next
innocent casualities of foreign terrorist attacks against the U.S.
government's policies. We can communicate abroad that We Are Not With
Us, on this issue, and we must communicate it with and to "The People
Over There"
"IF YOU ARE NOT WITH US, YOU ARE AGAINST US." This unilateralist
alienating cockiness does not represent Americans nor many of those
people who lost relatives at WTC. They were there speaking and they do
not want a war on Iraq In The Names of Their Deceased Husbands, Wives,
Parents, etc., or in their names. This is not honest nor is it a revenge
that will work or create any peace, but peace's opposite. The Bush
Administration is using their grief to push their own materialist
aggression, and will to dominate the world; they are using this
catastrophe here in New York, for which they have withheld millions of
dollars that were meant to fund better forms of commmunication among
emergency workers in the case of another attack. There is no funding for
this and we are here sitting like helpless ducks. But this war is being
fought for "our security," they say. Bush WENT AWOL. Dick Cheney was
MISSING IN ACTION in Vietnam. Richard Pearl didn't return the call.
Limbaugh got out with a medical exemption. 25% of the homeless in this
country are veterans. And Bush just cut pay to those that are being
asked to fight Bush's war. They are abusing these families of innocent
victims as well as everyone else for their own war and their own greed.
I am appealing to you now to put "To The People Over There" in
contactwith anyone with the means for publicity for this historic event.
It was both beautiful and startling in its power to illuminate how WE
have been suckered and misled, and nothing speaks louder then the people
that should be the most vindictive and spiteful, for their personal
losses, if there were anyone that had the right to be so.
Please help in any way you can. Any email contacts, phone numbers, or
addresses, give me places to send the tape and it will go. I'm sending
it to Europe to air as soon as I hear back from peopple I know there.
Don't sit idle until we are having a full-scale war with casualties of
American Blacks, Latinos, Asians, and poor White men and women that are
being fed into this present war machine as human fodder, or until the
mass murders of innocent people in Iraq are on our front pages. They are
just like us and 'population control' is nothing but a supremely racist
rationalization (I have heard this from those who have succumbed to
inertia and apathy, ie, the Depressed and the Repressed).
Thank you, Love, and Peace.
