US Army Veteran Calls for Troops Out of Iraq. Part 2
US Army Veteran Calls for Troops Out of Iraq. Part 2
8th December 2004, Manchester, UK. Supporters of anti-Iraq war
groups from the US, Britain and Iraq hold a rally against the Iraq war at
the Unitarian Chapel, Cross Street, Manchester city centre.
The public meeting is entitled: "End the occupation of Iraq - Bring all the
troops home". The line up of speakers is as follows:
Michael Hoffman: Michael took part in the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and
on his return to Pennsylvania became involved in the anti-war
movement. He is co-founder and national coordinator of Iraq Veterans
Against the War.
Lou Plummer: Lou served in the US army in the 80?s and is the
grandson, son, brother and father of men who have served or are serving
the military. He is a leading spokesman for Military Families Speak Out
and Bring Them Home Now.
Rae Street: Rae is a well known peace activist based in the North West
of England. She has travelled the world as part of her campaigning. She
is vice-chair of national Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
Dr Salam Ismael: Salam is general secretary of the Doctors for Iraq
Society. He was in Iraq from the start of the war to June of this year. He
worked in Fallujah during the first seige in April 2004.
John Rees: John is one of the co-founder members of the Stop the War
Coalition. He has spoken at meetings across the country and in the
Middle East
The meeting is chaired by Ron Senchak. Ron was in the US navy from
1965-68. He joined the movement against the Vietnam war when he left
the navy.
The rally launches the Greater Manchester campaign for the 19th March
national demonstration in London, which is part of a global day of
action. This day marks the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
Demonstrations will be taking place in other countries around the world
on the same day.
Dr Ismael speaks movingly about the slaughter of two of his own doctor
colleagues during the recent attack on Fallujah and reports that over
3000 Iraqis have been killed during the attack. He uses a Powerpoint
presentation during his speech showing photos of atrocities committed
during the attack on Fallujah.
The two US speakers speak of their brave and tireless work in the US
opposing the war. Rae Street exposes the hypocrisy of British
warmongers--drawing attention to the fact that Britain has its own
weapons of mass destruction. Ron Sanchek, a Vietnam war veteran
resident in Manchester, chairs the meeting and speaks about the
pressing need to build for the London demonstration against the war on
19th March 2005. John Rees talks about how the anti-war movement
has succeeded in keeping the war issue at the top of the agenda in the
run up to the coming election.
After all that has happened in Iraq over the past year and half, the sight
of people from countries that are on opposites sides of an ongoing war
sharing the same platform is remarkable and inspiring. All the speakers
receive a warm response and there is a determination to continue the
struggle to end this insane war.

Deaf and Dumb and Blind
This anti-war song was written at the time of the Vietnam war, but it is equally applicable to the USA's invasion of Iraq.
Lyrics:
Can't you hear the children crying?
Can't you hear their voices calling?
Can't you hear the moans of dying?
Can't you hear the big bombs falling?
Can you put it from your mind?
Are you deaf and dumb and blind?
Can't you see a nation's sin?
Can't you see that war's absurd?
Can't you see beneath the skin?
Can't you look behind a word?
Will empty words block up your mind?
Are you deaf and dumb and blind?
Can't you raise your voice in protest?
Can't you call for peace and sanity,
And then back your words with action?
Can't you speak from your humanity?
Can you close your mouth and mind?
Are you deaf and dumb and blind?
This song is on my fourth CD, "Pigs Might Fly and Other Politically Incorrect Songs."

The Vote for Obama Song
The Vote For Obama Song
If what you want is
Change you can believe in
You got to change the things
You now are believin in
And for once, take a chance
And believe in this man

American belief that
All men are equal before
And behind the law
He has promised
He won't look down upon
Other world nations

Peace and freedom for mankind
Cleaner environment

To do and only an
American can do it

ALLADIN SANE
Another one of BOWIE'S greatest. Here are the lyrics:
Watching him dash away, swinging an old bouquet - dead roses
Sake and strange divine Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh you'll make it
Passionate bright young things, takes him away to war - don't fake it
Sadden glissando strings
Uh-h-h-uh-h-uh - you'll make it
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Battle cries and champagne just in time for sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Motor sensational, Paris or maybe hell - I'm waiting
Clutches of sad remains
Waits for Aladdin Sane - you'll make it
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain, just in case of sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
We'll love Aladdin Sane
Love Aladdin Sane
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
Millions weep a fountain, just in case of sunrise
Who'll love Aladdin Sane
We'll love Aladdin Sane
We'll love Aladdin Sane

Life in Iraq Under U.S. Occupation
Dr. Dahlia Wasfi speaks:
Shortages; lack of electricity; potable water; tanks rolling through the streets night and day; gunfire and explosions. Iraqi health care in shambles. 200 bodies turn up daily in the Baghdad morgue. For Iraqis, it's 9/11 every day.

Wet & Wild Anti War / Profiteering Protest 2004
During the 26- 28th April 2004 Large Businesses Executives and Representatives ( including Shell, ExxonMobil, ChevronTexaco and US arms manufacturer Raytheon )gathered like vultures to slice and dice up Iraq, not for the benefit of the IRaqi people, but for themselves.
This meeting was fittingly called the "Iraq Procurement Conference"
I went to London on the 27th to film and participate in one of the protests and this is the footage from that day.
By the time I arrived, it was absolutely pouring down with rain in sheets, and began to thunder with ice-cold hail too.
This however did not put off any of the protesters who were some of the most amazing and passionate people I've witnessed in my life.
In the video you will see some arrests, drumming, and also the remarkable Insurgent Rebel Clown Army who were amazing to watch interacting with police.
If you happened to be at this protest and would like some of the original footage please get in touch and I can sort you out.
This protest went very under reported, but was a priveledge to be at and witness as it showed me how heroic and passionate people can be in the most adverse of circumstances when all odds are against them.
When watching the arrests, keep in mind that these arrests are of the people who cared most at that moment for the people of Iraq, whilst our beloved leaders stood idly by and sent more of our troops into harms way.
Watching this footage again has nearly brought me to tears.
The accompanying music is by myself, featuring dialogue from Author "Howard Bloom", taken from a BBC late night TV program called "Disinfonation".
Peace and respects to all involved in this process, you are all my heroes ( and heroins! )

Song: What Are We Fighting For?
This woman, Patricia Bozeman, was singing this song. I only caught a snippet of it. She is a singer and activist, attending protest marches and rallies to sing this song. It is clearly the theme song for the anti-war movement today.
