event notice
Thursday August 16, 2012 13:15 by Irish Anti-Imperialist
Anti-imperialists in Ireland will be gathering outside the Amnesty International "Freedom" Café, 48 Fleet Street, Temple Bar, Dublin, at 1pm, lunchtime, Mon 20th August, to mark the beginning of the NATO bombing of Tripoli, on August 20, 2011, and to call on the imperialist powers to stop their genocidal policy of orchestrating, arming and funding sectarian terrorism in Syria, and to cease their threats of violence against Iran. A picket will be placed on this so called "Freedom Café" and leaflets handed out, which detail Amnesty International's disgraceful record of giving cover to NATO's imperialist adventures, through promoting lies attacking the perceived enemies of US interests. Sometimes these lies have been obscenely comical, such as the claims that Colonel Al Gaddafi gave the Libyan Army viagra so as to rape peaceful protestors. Other times they have been purely genocidal in intent and consequence, such as claiming that the Black members of the Libyan security forces were "mercenaries" from Sub-Saharan Africa (though they had lived in Libya for generations.) This particular lie gave political cover to the lynching of hundreds of Black people, and the ethnic cleansing of tens of thousands of Black people by NTC forces.

I have to admit that I was in two minds about the demo, Amnesty do a lot of good work. But the message below by Tony put things in perspective for me. Tony is Jewish but he is fiercely Anti-Zionist and is an Anti-Fascist who believes in apply the No Platform tactic. He is the author of THE FIGHT AGAINST FASCISM IN BRIGHTON & THE SOUTH COAST.

Well done to everyone to turned out today to show their condemnation of the Anglo-Zionist campaign of genocide against Africa and the Middle East, and the insidious role being played by Amnesty International in this genocidal campaign. The following letter was signed by those present and handed to an Amnesty International functionary: |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12August 20th 2011 is the date that the North Atlantic Terrorist Alliance (NATO) began its onslaught on Tripoli, Libya, to bomb mercenaries from that country, Qatar, Jordan, Afghanistan and other parts of the wider region into the capital, lead by NATO special forces.
That date was covered by the western and GCC corporate media as the date that Libya was being “liberated”. The reality is that in Tripoli alone, in just 12 hours, the Jamahiriyah’s Ministry of Health, reported that 1,300 people had been killed and thousands injured. The following 5 days of intensive bombardment were nothing less then a bloodbath. During those days and up until this date, NATO forces and their proxies on the ground (perversely labeled as “freedom fighters”/”revolutionaries” by much of the international media) have systematically persecuted, murdered, tortured and imprisoned anyone who resists their agenda.
This date is a date for youth around the world to engage with each other on the basis of solidarity with their brothers and sisters who are suffering the most brutal effects of imperialist aggression, whether it be in Libya, Iraq, former Yugoslavia and Afghanistan which have been ravaged by NATO’s bombing campaigns; Syria which every day is losing more and more of its children to mercenaries that are being armed and financed by NATO powers, Sudan, Somalia and many other African countries which have been divided and continue to suffer long term sectarian war as a result of long term imperialist meddling, Colombia where millions live as internal refugees because of persecution by the Bogota US puppet Government, Puerto Rico, which remains a US colony, Haiti which has been punished by imperialist powers almost since the moment it established itself as the first Black Republic in the early 19th century, Palestine which has suffered more than 60 years of ethnic cleansing and European settler colonialism, Pakistan, where almost every day lives are lost to US drones….and the list goes on.
The idea for such an international event was conceived in Nicaragua, which lost over 50,000 people to a US proxy war against the revolutionary FSLN government in the 1980s, in addition to centuries of imperialist military and economic interference (including colonial occupation) that have lead to its current status as the poorest country in the Americas after Haiti. Since 2007, the FSLN has been back in power, and the idea of such a date is to maintain a high level of consciousness amongst Nicaraguan youth about the effects of imperialist aggression, by highlighting on this date such aggressions that continue in other parts of the world.
As well as raising consciousness, the idea of this date is for youth around the world to engage with each other and build up an anti-imperialist network amongst themselves.
In Nicaragua, an event will be organized on this date with young people, where this year's the theme will be Libya and Syria. The format of the event will be three or four expert speakers, followed by a question and answer session for the audience, but particularly youngsters in the audience, to engage with, and cultural performances (e.g. music, poetry etc) by young artists, thereby also giving them a platform to share their talents. The event will be filmed and shared online.
We encourage friends across the world to organize a similar such event, with a theme of your choice, although it is important that this date is also marked as the invasion of Tripoli in an effort to destroy the perverse narrative that this was the date that Tripoli was liberated. It is vital that all events are filmed and shared online so youth around the world can see that their counterparts are engaged in similar activities and as a basis for them to begin engaging and communicating with each other. Also, even if the audience present at the event is small, sharing videos of the events will maximise the potential audience for these events.
We already have confirmation that friends in London and Chicago, US, will be organizing sister events.

Including some information on dodgy Amnesty board members the interesting fact that ex "US state department Suzanne Nossel, former assistant to Richard Holbrooke (killer of Yugoslavia) in his capacity as UN Ambassador and Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Assistant for International Organization Affairs, was selected as the new Executive Director of Amnesty International USA."
also, it receives funding from George Soros, for those of you familiar with his meddling.
The article linked to is highlighting the support Amnasty gave to Anti Russian journalist Luke Harding, the Guardian's former Moscow correspondent and the author of "Mafia State: How one reporter became an enemy of the brutal new Russia", speaking engagement in Dublin.
Luke harding was a totally biased (a totally anti russian "russia correspondent") plagiarising idiot. Also well known for his ruthless attacks on Julian Assange in the Guardian.
No doubt most ordinary people who join Amnesty are well meaning and want to do good, but it certainly looks to me like the people at the top and some of the major funders have an obvious political agenda
