London: Iraq Human Shield Volunteers Needed

one of many | 11.01.2003 20:05

TJP Human Shields to Iraq needs volunteers in London area and en route. Donations would help too.

Support TJP Human Shields to Iraq

Hundreds of volunteers are heading to Iraq as human shields, in an effort to deter armed aggression by the US and UK governments. Volunteers are needed in LONDEN and elsewhere.

This direct action, which could become a mass migration to Iraq, has been organised by Ken Nichols O’Keefe, founder of the Universal Kinship Society (www.uksociety.org). It is hoped we will deter our governments from engaging in this crime against humanity. Will George use nuclear weapons if thousands of US citizens are on the ground in Iraq? Will Tony protect us by bombing us? Obviously, we hope not.

A number of buses will carry volunteers across Europe and the Middle East to Iraq. Along the way we will gather medicines and clothing to deliver to the people of Iraq. We wish to show solidarity with the Iraqi people in opposition to our governments’ determined pursuit of this dangerous and indefensible aggression. Some of us will aid in disaster relief and in documenting atrocities.

We could use help in meeting the costs of this action. Donations can be made to the Universal Kinship Society:

1) CREDIT CARD - at  http://www.uksociety.org/TJP%20Home.htm
2) WIRE TRANSFER – details at  http://www.uksociety.org
3) POST – cheques made out to “Universal Kinship Society”, sent to: TJP Human Shield Action 90c Mercers Road, Tufnell Park, London N19 4PR England


Other ways you can help:

Donate Equipment
We urgently need office equipment; a fax machine, scanner, computers, adsl modem/routers, photocopier. If you've got anything that might be useful please email us immediately at  TJPdonations@hotmail.com.

Volunteer
We need committed volunteers, ESPECIALLY IN THE LONDON AREA ... office staff, mechanics to look at buses, a professionally skilled webmaster, fundraisers (people who can ring around, chase up money), people with language skills, billets in London to accommodate other volunteers, contacts with celebrities for endorsements, techies to help with internet/intranet, etc. Please send an email to  TJPvolunteers@hotmail.com spelling out exactly how you can help.

Spread the Word
You can support the action by contacting friends in London or en-route (see  http://www.uksociety.org/tjp_route.htm) : we need committed people to organise reception rallies, the collection of medical supplies and clothing to be delivered to the Iraqi people, and more human shield volunteers. Tell local anti-war groups; encourage donations; contact the media or your government ‘representatives’.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Following the anti-Saddam popular uprising in Iraq which will accompany the allied invasion, you can expect to be swinging from lampposts with your balls (where applicable) stuffed in your mouths.

last time around, ssMan's troops left Aux laternes popular uprisers to fend for themselves.

I get the idea you chaps are both americans - you know, that country mostly populated by immigrants and the decendants of people who prefered to run away form their problems rather than stay (eg in Europe) and face up.

Illusions in imperialism and "democracy"

It may be courageous to go to Iraq and brave imperialism's weapons of mass destruction, document the attrocities on the ground and deliver aid, but it is pure cretinism to expect imperialist powers to care if there are even thousands of human shields originating in their countries– the imperialist powers aren't affraid to implement their 'anti-terror' legislation at home and round up immigrants, minorities and workers, why will they act any differently towards those who they will brand as traitors and kill or imprison? Expect to end up in Camp X-ray or dead in the rubble. That would be a waste of many lives who could otherwise put an end to capitalism at home– the only real way to stop imperialist war.
