URGENT STATEMENT FROM PEACE STRIKE

TO END WAR – AND PREVENT WAR – THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE”

‘TROOPS HOME’ – ‘DON’T ATTACK IRAN’

It’s up to us, the grass-roots movement!

YOU CAN’T BE ARRESTED FOR “BUYING NOTHING” AND “DOING NOTHING!”

We all know our Government is NOT listening to us and is allowing the situation in the Middle East to build up to further confrontation. We must organise and act now, if we really want a chance to stop a war with Iran.

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, NURSERYTo 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.

# 3 Day INTERNATIONAL STRIKE for PEACE #

30th NOVEMBER 2011…

TO END WAR – THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE”

From Midnight Thursday 29th November – 12 Noon Saturday 3rd December 2011

Across the UK people will be striking to highlight the severe financial cuts our Government has imposed on the people of our country, as a direct result of our on-going illegal wars of aggression against the people of Afghanistan.

Education, Health Care, Civil Liberties, Pensions, Employment, Legal Aid, Libraries, Housing,

the list goes on…….

Meanwhile, we are expected to find money to pay the EU bankers for the financial crisis created by their own greed and incompetence.

WE PAY THEIR BILLS !

WILL THEY PAY OURS?……..NO!……THEY SEND THE BAILIFFS!

The on-going war in Afghanistan has cost BILLIONS. Soldiers, civilians, women and children have been killed and seriously wounded. WHAT FOR?

…..Because endless global wars are HUGLY PROFITABLE.

Why then, do we all go along with it? We know it’s wrong, yet we submit like sheep everyday !

Sorry, but by complying, we allow our Government to wage illegal, immoral wars of aggression.
If we really want to address the situation and deliver justice to the people of Afghanistan, if we really want to regain our self respect as a nation and as a people, then we must unite and stand together to DEMAND that our Government stops hostilities and orders the troops home. Some will have to stay for humanitarian reasons.

We don’t need a world full of armies opposing each other. We need to feed the hungry, tend to the sick, and clothe and shelter the poor. That is the duty of humankind, whether we like it or not.

It’s not rocket science!

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….

TO END WAR – THE PEOPLE MUST GO ON STRIKE”

We now need to SHUT DOWN for 3 Days in order for our strike to be effective.

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.

INTERNATIONAL STRIKE FOR PEACE”

Including pensioners, housewives, students, claimants, the disabled, families, etc., joining together in solidarity for peace.

*Note This does not include emergency workers and carers, whose work and travel we support. Police, Fire Service, Nurses, Doctors, Ambulance Crews, Carers, and Emergency Utility Workers.

*WITHDRAW LABOUR* No Work

*NO SHOPPING* Boycott all shops & supermarkets

*SHUTDOWN* Nurseries, Schools, Colleges, Universities

*DON’T BUY PETROL* Boycott all petrol stations

*NO TRANSPORT* Except emergency & essential workers

*NO TV* Boycott the TV networks – they sensationalise war

Forward Plan:

Prepare for the strike days in advance so that we are organised and have enough food, drink and medical supplies to carry us over a week to facilitate any disruption our action may cause us.

Make sure we have enough provisions for children and the elderly, our families,not forgetting any pets.

Let people in your area know, including older and vulnerable people, so they have time to prepare.

Enjoy your time off to relax and reflect; spend precious time with family and friends. Treat it like you would an extended Christmas break.

* If necessary, we will continue to call follow-up strikes, in order to make our Government comply with the wishes 0f the people -who elected them- and whom they serve.

Under international law it is a criminal offence to assist in a crime against humanity, a crime against peace and a crime of genocide. Therefore to go ‘ON STRIKE FOR PEACE’ to save life can only be a moral duty and not an offence in law.

(Source: Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Article 25)

(c) For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aid, abet or otherwise assist in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission

We ask all people to be united in peaceful non-violent inaction.

Pass the message on, nationally and internationally.

Peace Strike operates a 24-hour on-going ‘Peace Picket’ at Parliament Square, London, UK.

PEACE STRIKE - 'ON STRIKE FOR PEACE'

PEACE STRIKE is a 24 hour on-going strike picket opposite the Houses of Parliament in the UK.

It makes the declaration that the majority of the people in our country oppose the on-going corporate wars that our Government has been engaged in for the past 10 years…..

The demands of our stand  to our Government is ‘ Listen to the people, and then ACT on our demands to ‘BRING OUR TROOPS HOME !

IF NOT,

At some point……….. we will all need to join the STRIKE !

POLICE REFORM AND SOCIAL RESPONSIILITY BILL * ROYAL ASSENT *

http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2010-11/policereformandsocialresponsibility.html

15th September 2011. After consideration in the House, the ‘Police and Social Responsibility Bill’ has been granted Royal Assent.

Be alert to the possible threat, to on-going protest at Parliament Square.

Parliament is now again in recess, and will resume again from Monday 10th October.

UK GOVERNMENT: LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE!

END THIS SENSELESS WAR!

HONOUR OUT TROOPS – BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!

The majority of the UK citizens wish the safe return of our soldiers, and an end to the futile never ending war in Afghanistan. Too many soldiers and innocent civilians have been maimed and killed in order to protect the corporate financial interest and assets of the global business empire. The rich have got richer while the poor have got poorer, paying for wars we do not believe in. This has got to stop!

These opinion polls support this view.

PETITION AGAINST USE OF WATER CANNON AND PLASTIC BULLETS

Petition into Downing Street 11th August 2011

With a notice of 24 hours, the authorities in the UK can now authorise the use of water cannon and plastic bullets, should there be a threat of the violence and looting that has been witnessed in so many  of our cities country-wide.

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2087759,00.html

To date, the evidence against the use of such drastic measures speak for themselves.

It must never be acceptable that we, the British people, will allow our civil liberties to be pushed beyond what is reasonable. Water canon and rubber bullets have been used in Northern Ireland. Sadly this has generally been accepted across the UK. Now for the first time, they could be used in mainland Britain. Also, worryingly, they could be used against protesters and to stop blockades.

We need to rally now in defence of what Britain stands for, and It does not accept that we turn on our own people with force that could lead to serious injury or death. It is used in other countries, however, the British nation will not accept its use here. We say to the British Government:

” DON’T CROSS THE LINE”

If we do, the use of water cannon and plastic bullets  would lead to more potential violence and resentment.

The warning signs of civil unrest has been spoken about for years, coming from teachers, police, social workers, community workers etc. The issue is that consecutive governments have chosen to ignore these concerns.  With the recent austerity cuts that have affected people on low income especially, there has been an outcry, by the people, that has gone unheeded.

Ultimately, if we insist on waging wars, that the people do not want to  support, morally or financially, then something has got to give…..

HUNGER STRIKE ENDS DAY 41

"UNITY AND DEMOCRACY FOR KOREA"

Okhwan Yoon officially ended his hunger strike on day 41, Saturday 6th August 2011.

He was in a very weak condition. After a lot of consideration it was decided that it was in the best interest to look to the future and to continue his campaign work in yet another interesting and dynamic way. The political climate at the moment is not ready or willing to take on board the issues of peace and unity when so much of the political message is based on fear and the so-called “War On Terror”

It will take some time for him to build up his strength and energy, and to get back into full operational mode! There is no rush at the moment, as the emphasise must be that he fully recovers.

He would like to extend his sincere gratitude to all the supporters and well wishers who have conveyed  support for his cause. Also a thank you is given to local church Ministers who visited and prayed for him.

We must keep an open and positive mind….remember, the Berlin wall did FALL!
