Sunday March 16, 2003 00:22 by nuin dunlop - catholic worker
A note of Nuin Dunlops Nuin Dunlop on American weapons of mass destruction In protest against the imminent mass murder in Iraq Nuin Dunlop and Karen Fallon remain in Limerick Prison. Here are some words of Nuin's - an American citizen. We're here in support of Iraqi people who face the threat of war. We also express support for three Dominican Sisters, Carol Gilbert, Ardeth Platte and Jackie Hudson who are currently imprisoned in the US. On 6 October 2002 the three Sisters, wearing chemical weapons suits and carrying clipboards inspected a Colorado nuclear site for American weapons of mass destruction. The sisters proceeded to disarm part of a US nuclear weapons facility. The three saw through the hypocrisy of a nation intent on disarming Iraq, while ignoring its own weapons of mass destruction. THe US harbours more chemical, biological and nuclear WMD than any other nation. THe US is the only nation to have killed civilians with nuclear weapons resulting in up to 300,000 deaths at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Soon, the US military hopes to launch a 'Hiroshima effect,' pouring thousands of bombs upon Iraqi children, women and men. Media flashes call this imminent bombing a 'War on Iraq.' In reality this 'war' will be an assault on unarmed Iraqi civilians. Even if Saddam is ousted from power, even if every last Iraqi weapon is destroyed, a US attack will kill tens of thousands of innocent people. In a nation in which 50% of the populace are under 16 years of age thousands of Iraqi children will be burned alive in the streets by US bombs. Oil fields could be turned into rivers of fire, leaving long lasting ecological damage. Soldiers, if they return, will suffer from symptoms similar to the Gulf War syndrome. Ironically, the US is asking Iraq to disarm while simultaneously planning to bomb the Irai people in a few days! We wear chemical weapons suits in solidarity with the three Dominican sisters who face 30 years in prison for speaking the truth about US WMD. We ask the US government to: -inspect its own arsenal of weapons which threaten international security. -comply with UN resolution 1441, disarming all US weapons of mass destruction. -listen to the millions of people globally who are saying a clear NO to war. Nuin Dunlop

Jump To Comment: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Your double agent page managers erase this opinion issue every time get it on here, both as a comment or an piece on the news.
They have done this 5 times. It was wiped out here before also. So this is not a comment on this article - this is a way of getting past the people who repress opinions who run your news here.
If you got a chance to see this expose of the people dictating on you news project here, it is because I have changed all the key words that their computer recognises and only try to get on as a comment now.
I wonder how many more that you never see that your infiltrator editors erase and suppress if any of them dare to criticize the Israelis?
Why not Drop Your Israeli occupation supporters and get the American female activist's slaughter on the front page where it should be.
The u.s. presidential candidate whose initials are P. B'n and a congressman (the words of whose name they have programed into their computer server to erase this post) both have pointed out how the american pro-occupation block and occupation-supporting politicians are a central force in driving the u.s. to war with Iraq.
Perhaps they both are simply against the race of Israel? If so How come Just now when the these sort of politician are Pushing this country on to War with Iraq how come just at this time these two men have been seem now as biased? Is this something to think about....
Pro-israel congress members more than five of them called for the congressman to resign because he said their political block was one of the forces most responsible for speaking to send us into the Iraq war.
That would be ok except that he mentioned the truth about an interest-block of pro-occupation leaders. So is it all right to say so if those are the facts?
The congressman and the presidential candidates both bigots?
Do you think so? So? They could be and so could I. But how about these US scholars of the same extraction then? N'm Ch'sky says the same thing as does Ed Her'....the authors about the book of how the vote is programmed in people". And could Nrm'nfinklestyn,Ph.D historian and sociologist athuntercollege in nyc and Israelshm'r.... u.s. academician and essay writer. go to his essay on Jeffrense 's page , use his last name to get there on the net. Put it in google because all these names and addresses are by computer programmed suppressed and erased on here every time they are written here now.
Do you really believe the charges that these eminent educators of the same race as those that they are cricicizing, are all bigots?
Look at the behavior of those people running this service for you! They are erasing almost everything here critical of israel or critical of the supporters of the occupation.
Wouldn't it be best to drop your own fascist occupation supporting bigots on this newservice; right here?
The bosses that run these web pages leave all the posts every callous praising the occupation bigot on these pages ; but they erase me.
So why is this war happening......
The reason that it is happening is because the occupying country in the middle east doesn't want their biggest opponent left in the mideast and because rumsfeld bush cheney and their partners in oil have got a scheme by which they will definetly benefit from the war. And arab rage and frustration at the states bankrolling of Sharon's people to continue to destroy palestinians was the whole cause the destruction in manhattan. Most of us know that but those people approving of the devastion and larceny of the 'territories' will always deny it.
To confirm this for yourself you can go to the US maine page of this news collective and see the oils of war author, Paul Donahue an editor of an american grass roots party magazine.
How it works as of now is; Saddam has oil exploration contracts and supply agreements with France, Russia, Canada, Germany. Notice that he has none w/ the u.s..what happens is that the Bush's Iraqi opportunist government people have made a bargain with Cheney. All prior committments will be broken and they will give those bargains to Bush's, Cheney's and Rumsfeld's companies. That is , if Bush puts them in power in Saddam's place. If you doubt what I am saying is hard fact then check that page in u.s. maine part of this service.
Saddam whose fighting ability is totally crippled is not the least the cause of this war.
But what about the killing by bulldozer of the american girl?
What about all the attempts to trivialize her killing by people allowed to post here while I am prevented from posting here.
The other areas of this news collective service that are decent such as minniapolis and the seatle pages put this news on the front page. Here it is almost hidden. Why do you think that is?
And they pick the news accounts of it that are the most hypocritical about the slaughter being an accident.
Not like:
A peace protester intentionaly crushed by an army bulldozer in Gaza.
While homes are being destroyed and American resistor is also destroyed.
From the newspaper beginning with G in Britain by a C. McG.....
The IDF bulldozer compressed a female peace activist to death in the Gaza , in what witnesses described as a deliberate slaughter. Rachel Cor...(giving her young age ] suffered and died as she attempted to prevent the military destroying homes in the a refugee camp, one of the most dangerous in the occupied Palestine.
"She was standing on top of a pile of earth," said another activist, Richard Pur..., who was a few feet away :: The driver cannot have failed to see her. As the blade pushed the pile, the earth rose up. Rachel slid down the pile. It looks as if she got her foot caught. The driver didn't slow down; he just ran over her. Then he reversed the bulldozer back over her again. Rach..... was very brave.
Activists said the bulldozer had approached from several metres away and that Ms Corrie, who was wearing a brightly coloured jacket, was waving and they were shouting at the driver to stop but them he ignored.
Other observers said another protester had been slightly injured about half an hour earlier when the same bulldozer knocked him into the wire that was barbed.
Rachel was one of eight foreign volunteers, four from the u.s. and four from Britain with the a world wide protest agency seeking to block house crushings.
I have altered many words here to escape the program on here that automatically washes out anything I put up here. Do you really want these kind of people running this service. You may be next.
Purs... , said that earlier an Israeli tank protecting the bulldozer had attempted to drive protesters away with warning shots and teargas. But there had been no trouble immediately before Ms Corrie was smashed.
At the local hospital, doctors, said she had died from skull and chest smashing. The idf said the death was an accident and the driver couldn't see her. Will you put up with dictators on here who suppress people putting their opinions on here?
The idf said that we are dealing with a group of protesters who are acting very irresponsibly, putting everyone in danger, the Palestinians themselves and our forces through purposely placing themselves in a dangerous place in fron't of bulldozers.
Actually those who protest injustice are dealing with evil thugs who care nothing about decency or truth as long as they can steal the Palestinians country.
Watch , the people suppressing me on here are doing all they can to hide these issue because it supports the theft of palestine.
Speak up against this suppression on here.
The area for homeless palestinians is surrounded by Settler settlements and armyforts. Native civilians say they are frequent victims of random shootings by the military and settlers. Often among the dead are children . A Palestinian human rights worker in that camp, said it was ironic that an American should be killed by a US made bulldozer; America is providing Israel with tanks and bulldozers, and now they killed one of their own women.
I left 7 links to picture of all this on my post but if i put them here , your newsservice's dictators program will erase me. There are a number of covert infiltrators running your site here and only letting you see what they want you to see. If people were being shut off on a page that I was on, I would say very clear things about that.
Where's proson Bernard???????, sounds like you have abandoned all hope...embrace cynicism as a comforter!!!!!
Actually the first use of biological organisms in a war situation was by the Romans during their various wars. They would launch the bodies of plague victims into the cities and also place dead animals into the water supply upstream from the city. England did not use it first but they were the first to use it covertly
Well done. I have great respect for people who have the courage to take action like this. Can't say I have the same courage but offer support from Brisbane, Australia.
Not everyone in the US wants war. We are with you in spirit.
Over half of the population opposes war without agreement from the UN, and many of us oppose war regardless. You are a hero to Irish Americans everywhere.
I just read a headline saying that Bush is predicting a moment of truth for Monday. Should be a nice change.
In solidarity with you, and all other prisoners of conscience in the cause of peace/justice I thank you for your sacrifice.
Bernard,
Americans are engaging in similar action. For example:
three Dominican Sisters, Carol Gilbert, Ardeth Platte and Jackie Hudson, currently imprisoned in the US.
http://www.nonviolence.org/nukeresister/131women.html
Bill Frankel-Streit of the Little Flower Catholic Worker in Louisa, VA, Steve Baggarly-Williams of the Norfolk Catholic Worker, and Steve Woolford of the Silk hope Catholic Worker in NC poured human blood over the doors of the Pentagon at the metro entrance, as 60 others stood vigil with banners, asking for an end to war making.
They were arrested and charged with “preservation of property”, “disorderly conduct” and “admission to property”, federal misdemeanors. Eleven other people were arrrested for refusing to disperse.

She's an American. If she wants to commit treason why doesn't she do it in her own country instead of giving us Irish a bad name.
May God Bless you both Karen and Nuin for the witness you continue to carry out. Ciaron, Deirdre, and I are back in court with the 2 peace-loving ladies {special dispensation to return to Co. Clare - how kind;-)) at 10.30 a.m., Friday March 21st. Everyone is invited along to participate in daily vigils, being held by the Dublin Catholic Worker 'Pit-Stop Ploughshares' & co., beginning Tuesday March 18th, from 4-5 p.m.{flexible}. Bring inflatable Hammers, Anti-War placards, banners, etc. Facilitate Ireland's desire for peace by your humble presence and witness across from the G.P.O. {Around the Spire}. Show your solidarity with these brave women from the United States and Scotland who continue to sacrifice their comfort to make explicit the impending genocide against the Iraqi people, and the human race.
See you soon girls. Keep the faith.

Let it not be forgotten that it was England that invented biological warfare. In the American Indian uprising of the 1760s, led by Chief Pontiac, Lord Jeffrey Amherst, commander of the English forces, gave small pox infected blankets to the Indians. There is a very pleasant college town in Western Massachusetts named in Amherst's honour.
"good guys" Dougal?
"bad people" Dougal?
Life is a lot more complicated than that.
You are obviously a reader of the english tabloids. They are designed for the purpose of controlling feeble-minded people like you.
I don't mind if America have big weapons, they are the good guys. It's the bad people who have no right to have weapons and they must give them up, even by force.
Go Bush! The only thing Saddam will understand is Shock and Awe.
I am challenged by your courage and honesty to join you in your witness against this madness.
