"The hare-brained chatter of irresponsible frivolity" ... Benjamin Disraeli
Peace
I received an interesting letter 2 days ago. It said I could join a Peace March from the comfort of my own livingroom. Sounds good since it has been around -10 to -15°C this past week or so. It reminds me of going to the Peace March in Moncton after Judith had decided to join (and run for) the Green Party of Canada. They have since set up a fund and have a page honouring Judith. So remember don’t let the Ministry of Truth tell you that “WAR IS PEACE“.
This Saturday, hundreds of thousands of Americans will march on Washington DC to demand peace and justice in Iraq and the Middle East. We can be there too, raising a global voice of solidarity — through our own worldwide virtual march. Time is short, so add your voice and join the march today!
Avaaz supporters in Washington have offered to carry real banners and placards at the US demonstration – showing how many internet marchers from all round the world are joining in. We will carry the flag of each country that generates more than 500 internet marchers, so tell your friends!
With American opposition to this war mounting, 45,000 of us from over 100 countries have already joined the call to oppose Bush’s military escalation and demand a real plan to end this war. Can we get 75,000 – even 100,000 people from round the world to join the march before Saturday? Click here to join the march:
This could signal the rebirth of the US peace movement. We need to show them the world is on their side. Let’s bring our call for peace to the streets of power in Washington. Join the global peace march and tell your friends today!
With hope, Ricken, Paul, Tom, Rachel, Galit, Lee-Sean and the rest of the Ceasefire Campaign (now Avaaz.org! ) Team In an online poll last year, nearly a thousand of you helped choose a compelling new name for our global campaigning effort – www.Avaaz.org. Avaaz means “voice” or “song” in many Asian languages. The new site is up, so check it out!

checking into the site, I see this MARVELLOUS front-page image that really warms and gladdens my ‘Scottish-Kosmopolitan’ heart and immediately causes me to type…!
There’s dear, dear Judith with Emily aloft, and I’m sure that’s Janvieve [?] who I met last year, and there’s even a Muslim sister with her peace banner in the shot…
VIVA Moncton —- Way-to-GO People – WAY-to-GO…!
...Yet, of course, it also saddens me that J H-G isn’t with us to discuss the headlong plunge into these new ‘hot’ wars or the trans-planet chaos these past few years have brought us. Or the state-sponsored terror thats being waged against the planet’s dirt poor and [purposely] disenfranchised citizens by ‘our’ misanthropic, sociopathic ‘Free Market’ overlords in DC, London, Ottawa, Canberra, Tel Aviv etc…
I’m certain she’d also discuss the untold damage theyre doing to our fragile Earth via their satellite-guided missiles, their uranium-tipped bombs – and their Neoliberal assaults on OUR environment and OUR democracy that the great Canadian Naomi Klein amongst many, many others have illustrated…
To all concerned and like-minded Canadian citizens opposed to this lawless cabal of elected Orwellian dictators, Corporate Pimps ‘n Whores and hi-tech-Killers-in-Suits, I reach out from Blair-occupied Britain and express my FULL and undying Solidarity…
SALUT-SALUTE...!!!
