Peace Website Calls to Bring United States to UN Security Council for Sanctions
Anti-war activists accused the USA of planning first use of nuclear weapons against Iran, and of currently using uranium weapons in Iraq, and noted that the UN Security Council is responsible for dealing with such threats of war and acts of aggression.(PRWEB) February 9, 2006 -- A US-based anti-war publisher and activist denounced the recent Iran crisis as a replay of the trumped-up war against Iraq, and called for UN sanctions against the United States itself.
John Leonard, owner of the pro-peace websites, explained: "Article 39 of the United Nations Charter states, 'The Security Council shall determine the existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression and shall make recommendations...'
"After years of threats to the peace, the USA attacked Iraq based on lies, without provocation or cause. It is destroying Iraq with so-called 'depleted' uranium weapons that are highly radioactive, poisonous and permanent, with a half-life of 5 billion years! The public is now being hit by a re-run of this scenario – a hysterical propaganda campaign, hauling Iran before the UN Security Council, to be followed by a war of mass destruction against humanity."
"In fact, the venerable Federation of American Scientists itself catalogued over 200 'military incursions' by the United States between 1945 and 2002. The US is way overdue for a summons, while Iran has never attacked anybody."
The websites are www.ProgressivePress.com, Www.PeaceWish.com, and Www.UnitingForPeace.com. During the fabrication of war hysteria against Iraq in 2003, UnitingForPeace.com posted an online kit for lobbying the UN General Assembly. In co-operation with organizations like GreenPeace, the package generated tens of thousands of emails to UN representatives. The last-minute worldwide campaign called on the UN General Assembly to use its peacekeeping prerogatives in the case of a Security Council deadlock, under the Uniting For Peace clause of the UN Charter.
Progressive Press publishes 9/11 exposés, the latest by activist, historian and intelligence expert Webster Griffin Tarpley. His classic "George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography" first broke the story that G. W. Bush's grandfather Prescott was Adolf Hitler's banker, and a member of a financier faction working for a fascist world order. Calling the present rush to war a "Blitzkrieg," Leonard says the Bush family "have not changed their spots. The attack on Iraq was the beginning of World War IV. They can wage war on Iraq and Iran because of 9/11, even though neither country had the slightest connection with that atrocity, just like Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia on the barest of pretexts."
It gets worse. Tarpley's just-released new work, "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA," 2nd edition, focuses on a "rogue network" of war provocateurs within the US establishment as the culprits behind 9/11. These "moles" are said to have entrenched themselves in key "nodes" over generations, where they have staged pretexts to instigate every major US foreign war - starting with the faking of the Mexican war of 1846-1848, and including the creation of the spectacular effects seen on 9/11/2001. As to how they can get away with this "dirty work" unpunished, the reply is that they are getting the results the ruling oligarchy wants.
Tarpley buttresses these historical analogies with scientific evidence of the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and a third skyscraper, WTC7, on Sept. 11th, data which has recently figured widely in the news thanks to a statement by "Scholars for 9/11 Truth" (S9/11T).
In a recent article, "Scene Set for the Clash of Civilizations", Leonard defines the divide-and-conquer tactics of empire as "reverse impact" methods:
- Fostering ethnic and religious minorities and fanatics to destabilize rival empires, especially (but not only) right-wing extremists, who are destroyed when their dirty work is done;
- Countergang tactics, the secret sponsoring of atrocities in the name of a rival.
Last week, British television unveiled a memo on the lies against Iraq, with Bush telling Blair: "The US was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours. If Saddam [or the US? fired on them, he would be in breach."
The two capos were evidently contemplating a war provocation along the lines of Operation Northwoods, a 1962 plan to blow up a plane and blame it on Cuba as a pretext to attack that country. Kennedy nixed the scheme.
Such examples led Leonard to the conclusion that people can't work effectively for peace without identifying the cliques and techniques that work for war. To promote this idea, he founded Www.PeaceWeek.Net, which calls for a World Peace Week celebration from Nov. 5th to 11th, in commemoration of Guy Fawkes Day and Armistice Day.
PeaceWish.Com, a daughter website, is the web's premier locale for holiday e-greetings with a theme of world peace. A collection of free Valentine's Day E-Cards are available here.
