Protest War on Iraq

category international | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Sunday November 14, 2004 04:07author by Jamie Kelly - A.N.S.W.E.R.author email jamiekelly at sbcglobal dot netauthor address 5436 Murdochauthor phone 314-752-7722 Report this post to the editors

Anti-Inauguration Day

On 20th of January, millions are taking to the streets world wide to protest the criminal war in Iraq. In the US, there will be massive protests in major cities, but the city to watch will be DC. Tens of thousands of us will be lining the street on the route Bush will have to take to go for his Inauguration Ceremony.

I sincerely hope Ireland will be out in force that day to join us and the world in putting an end to Bush's blood for oil war.

A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is sponsoring the protest. www.answercoalition.org.

Please join us!

Folks might like to know that the ANSWER Coalition is associated with the Workers' World Party (I say "associated with" because I feel like being nice; I could easily say "front group for") . They have a reputation for ruling the protests they arrange with an iron fist and then taking the credit for other people's work (David Rovics wrote a song about them: http://members.aol.com/drovics/vanl.htm).

Infoshop has a page about them: http://www.infoshop.org/texts/wwp.html

Then there's the satirical site
http://www.authoritarianopportunistswhocozyuptogenocidaldictators-forpeace.org/
which includes links to the WWP's own site (and that of the International Action Center, another "associated" group).

I'm not telling anyone not to go this protest; just be aware of what the ANSWER Coalition are like, who they're connected to, and what you can expect.

For The Defense (of Saddam): Ramsey Clarke
by Marc Cooper
http://marccooper.typepad.com/marccooper/2005/01/for_the_defense.html

...the not-so-surprising news that former attorney general and current wingbat Ramsey Clarke has signed on to the defense team of one Saddam Hussein. 

Everyone, including war criminals, deserve proper legal defense. And I’m not being sarcastic.

What’s meaningful about this development – at least to me—is that Clarke is also co-founder and often chief spokesman and human face for International ANSWER , the grouplet that has headed up most of the large anti-war rallies of the past few years.

Meaningful, but as I said above, not surprising. ANSWER is, in turn, the creation of a cultish-stalinist group called the Workers World Party.
