URGENT STATEMENT FROM PEACE STRIKE

“TO END WAR – AND PREVENT WAR - THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE”
It's up to us, the grass-roots movement!
YOU CAN'T BE ARRESTED FOR “BUYING NOTHING” AND “DOING NOTHING!”
We cannot afford to think this might not happen!
We cannot repeat the mistakes of the past and leave it until an attack on Iran is imminent or a pre-emptive strike has been made. Even if an attack were to be officially declared, by then, marches, rallies, sit-ins and protests would not be effective and would be too little, to late.
REALITY CHECK - Let’s all unite and go on strike together for all the reasons mentioned, with the aim of actually achieving our objective.
10 years of protesting, marching, campaigning and lobbying has simply not been enough!
We have NOT STOPPED ANY WAR……….THEREFORE….WE NEED TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION NOW!
Our priority must be to bring our own troops home in order to prevent further war. The military industrial complex has the same wants and needs of mass global companies. Collectively, the military consume the most oil, therefore, they MUST secure more oil supplies, whatever the cost. Global companies buy, take over and dominate by financial power. If they can't buy or control a country, they will demonise the country and then BOMB it into submission. They are the two arms of the same beast. The military is being used as the 'armed wing' of the Global Corporate Empire. By demanding to 'Bring Our Troops Home' and prevent further war, we will directly compromise and effect the political, commercial and military power all at the same time.
The governments of the world will always ignore the people's natural opposition to war simply because they can. The only real power the people have is to refuse to comply. While we keep working, they launch ships, submarines, fighter jets, missiles, rockets, drones, deploy soldiers,…..and ignore our wishes….
We are the ones who fund the war effort, fund the repatriations, fund the funerals, fund the rehabilitation, fund the post traumatic distress disorders, and then also pay voluntary contributions to the many charities that support our war wounded. All this, and then, if we disagree with the justification and morality of the war, we live in fear of being labelled ‘unpatriotic’ It is a clever control method that always works!
We must act now, while we still can, in order to prevent a future world based on military order and compliance. By collectively being on “Peace Strike” together, we – the ordinary people – become the most powerful that we can be. We will send a clear message to our government that we will not support any acts of aggression towards innocent citizens of any country… we will not be deceived into waging wars for ‘Global Corporate’ greed and power.
We are now organizing Pre-emptive Peace Strikes.
YOU DO NOT NEED A UNION TO CALL A 'STRIKE FOR PEACE' THE PEOPLE CALL IT THEMSELVES!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A WORKER TO GO ON STRIKE FOR PEACE!
Includes: students, pensioners, housewives, anyone and everyone on benefit and disability allowance.
Anyone who does any activity “within the system” is actually supporting it. Therefore we need 3 days of:
NO SHOPPING! – BUY NOTHING!
NO LABOUR ! – Only emergency workers and essential workers carry on, the rest of us shut down.
NO SCHOOL, COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY, NURSERY – To prevent death and injury to others, it is more important to register your concerns, rather than worry about a few days off.
NO TRANSPORT! Buses, underground, trains, planes.
NO TV! They sensationalise war.
*Strike does not include emergency and essential workers whose work and travel we support. Police, Fire Service, Nurses, Doctors, Ambulance, Carers and Emergency Utility Workers.
