Help us-Help the innocent

organisation set up to help the innocent civilians of Iraq, people from all over the west are travelling now over to Iraq in an effort to apease the war effort by the US and Britain. We are now looking for volunteers from Ireland to join us.

What would happen if several thousand Western citizens migrated to Iraq to stand side by side with the Iraqi people? The fact is that the world's most powerful nation would be stopped in its imperialist tracks if thousands of Westerners might be killed by its oil lust war. Never has there been a greater need for people to stand up and demand a sane and peaceful world. Voting and recycling is not enough, it is direct action that is desperately required. And never has there been more people more aware about the truth and ready to act. People are organizing and mobilizing like never before, the time has come and 'We the People' are responding. Now many of us are coming together to exercise our "freedom" by acting as voluntary human shields in the hopes of saving thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of Iraqi lives. This is not about supporting Saddam Hussein as our governments did, it is about saving the lives of those in our human family. So if you care enough and are fed up with the never ending excuses from the politicians and "experts" who historically perpetuate the status quo, you are invited to join us.

"Faith gains in strength only when people are willing to lay down their lives for it." - Gandhi

The Plan - To enlist the service of as many Human Shield volunteers for direct action in Iraq. To organize the required food and transportation for travel by coach, vans and cars from Europe to Iraq for all who Human Shield volunteers. Our departure date is tentatively set for mid to late January from London but this is subject to the evolving situation. We plan to travel through Europe via London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Dachau Concentration Camp, Zurich, Milan, Sarajevo, Istanbul, Halab and Baghdad.on our way to Iraq. We may very well need/choose to add or delete cities along the way again depending on the situation at the time. All things going as planned we will conduct brief rallies and pick up more Human Shield volunteers along the way. Once in Baghdad we will strategically place ourselves with the most vulnerable people. People who are overwhelmingly supportive for obvious reasons.

"The golden rule is to act fearlessly upon what one believes to be right." - Gandhi

Already buses have left London on the way to Iraq, this month we have planes leaving on the 14th. and the 27th. flying to Amman in Jordan where they will be met and then brought to peoples houses in Baghdad.

Only a life lived for others is a life worth while ." - Albert Einstein

What You Can Do - Immediately join as a Human Shield volunteer. If you cannot do this than support us financially for our food and fuel needs. U.S. citizens can make tax-exempt donations to the Universal Kinship Society (sponsor of this action). Donate your car, van or bus or school and medical supplies which we will transport to the people of Iraq. Send out emails and press releases announcing our action and post our action on your website.

"True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding out the true path for ourselves and in fearlessly following it."
