| Pacifica Commentary for October 7, 2002
The holocaust in Iraq continues. It was not enough to drop 88,000 tons of bombs in 1991. It was not enough to continue the bombing for eleven more years. It was not enough to embargo food and medicine, to starve the people and watch their children die of malnutrition and preventable disease. Many of us have been to Iraq and we can assure you that the country is now in ashes. Nearly two million people have died in this holocaust and the cult leaders in Washington have determined that we must kill more. As they kill and maim millions they talk as if there is one person living in Iraq. And that is part of the cult madness. This war is being planned against the wishes of the sovereign people of the United States. The presidency is at the lowest ebb in our history. An unelected president of the United States is acting to the detriment of the people of the United States, so the head of state in Israel is acting to the detriment of the Israeli people. These two cult leaders are telling their constituents to commit suicide. And many members of the cult are in compliance. What does Sharon expect to accomplish with his 200 nuclear weapons, world peace? Peace in Israel? The era of the Good Neighbor? He will accomplish none of this. On the contrary he and Mr. Bush have the potential to initiate a nuclear World War with the policy of preemptive first strikes. They will only accomplish the peace of the cemetery. The terror with which they behave will and is blowing back at them. But not only at them but to the beautiful people who live in the United States and Israel. China can follow the deadly logic and attack Taiwan. India can follow the cult and strike Pakistan. Russia can eliminate Chechnya. And we all can spend our few remaining hours in nuclear winter. And what do we see in our Democratic Congresspeople. Many of them have joined the cult of necrophilia as well. We want our congresspeople to know that they are either with us or they are fired. Pay attention Mr. Waxman. Friends, we are not here to curse the darkness, but we are here to identify a national cult which is about to take more lives than the Third Reich ever did. We must stop this holocaust. A defunct Democratic Party and the War Mongering Republicans have given us no choice but to protest in the streets. The commercial media has done everything possible to silence and censor our movement…and friends maybe that is a good thing because we are now in every city and state of the United States as well as Israel. We will build a peace system. We will abolish the war system. Join us in San Francisco and in Washington on October 26th. And join School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia on November … Calls in to Congress are numbering up to 1000 to one against this war. We are being ignored, the will of the people is being disregarded. We did not give you our hard earned money to buy cluster bombs for the children of Iraq. We did not authorize you to conduct a holocaust in our name. NOT IN OUR NAME We believe that as people living in the United States It is our responsibility to resist the injustices Done by our government, in our names. Not in our name will you wage endless war. There can be no more deaths, no more transfusions of blood for oil. We pledge to make common cause with the people of the world to bring about justice, freedom and peace… Another world is possible. And we pledge to make it real.
