Politicizing Everyday Life and Bringing Forth a Competing, Legitimate Leadership
Demonstrations in the form of rallies, marches and civil resistance all contribute to an atmosphere in the society of social unrest or social restiveness that is indispensable to any genuine and fundamental social change occurring. Yet these forms of political protest – while invaluable - are not by themselves enough.
We are up against the radical reshaping of the country along fascist/police state lines and the ruling circles’ infernal unanimity around this program. The need for a powerful, counter-posing force that is clear-eyed on what is afoot, what needs to be done and strong enough to accomplish this gigantic feat stands out in sharp relief. Demonstrations of the traditional sort are crucial, but they will not accomplish this major task on their own because what is needed goes well beyond convincing parts of the existing political/opinion leadership to mend their ways.
We need to constitute a new leadership: a competing, legitimate authority to the one that presently rules our country. The participation by millions who take a public stand for a different world and against the existing one by wearing/displaying orange daily and recruiting others to do the same is crucial in doing this extraordinary thing. There can be no mass movement leaders without a social base, and there can be no sufficiently powerful counter-force leadership without a visible, personally committed on the individual level, mass movement. What people are doing when they pledge to 333 and wear orange daily is taking personal responsibility for fighting the immorality and tyranny of the Bush Regime and the Bush Agenda. This personal commitment cannot be overestimated in its importance. We need nothing less than a change at the grassroots in the everyday life of millions.
Orange is the color of resistance. By donning orange, people are declaring themselves and acting as publicists for a new world and as political organizers in their daily lives. This simple, yet deeply significant act, can spread quickly if people individually take it upon themselves to be what they’ve been waiting for others to be.
The following is something that you can copy/paste and put on a two-sided flyer as a means of recruiting people to 333. You'll need to reformat it - suggested: Times, 11 point font.
Do You Want to Drive the Criminals Out of the White House?
You are not alone!
The majority sentiment against Bush, Cheney and their entire program must be made visible. People of conscience must stand up. It is up to YOU!
Spread an Orange Wave of Resistance: the 333 Plan
• Wear orange every day! (Ribbon, Armband, Bandana… the symbolic power of orange can be worn in many creative ways).
• Recruit 3 others to do the same.
• They in turn recruit 3 people each. Check back with them on how it’s going in 3 days. Stay in touch. Form relationships with them. Support them keeping in touch with their 3.
The pyramid you start can bring in over 19,600 people in two months. A starting group of 100 people doing 333 can bring in over 1.9 million people in two months!
Seize the Moral High Ground Against the Criminals in D.C.
We’re aiming for 1% of the population, or 3 million, wearing orange daily this winter.
Imagine the impact on the world of millions of Americans, wearing brilliant orange, declaring themselves against tyranny.
Keep track of who’s in your pyramid. Hold a 333 Party every 3 weeks. Watch your parties grow! Network with people who share a determination to Drive Out the Bush Regime.

Mission Impossible: Your Mission, Should You Decide to Accept It, is to: Drive Out the Bush Regime!
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. “But they’re only in office for another 14 months.” Everyday that Bush and Cheney are allowed to remain in office more people are tortured and killed and global warming gets worse. It’s immoral not to speak out and resist.
2. “I’m against what Bush and Cheney are doing, but …” If you’re against this, but don’t show it, it doesn’t count. If you act but act too late, it doesn’t matter.
3. “What can people do? The Democrats are the ones.” The American people are the wild card in the deck. If we act in our millions in visible, determined, powerful and independent ways, the whole atmosphere will change dramatically.
4. “What can one person do?” One person can recruit tens of thousands of others. One person can be a magnet for others who want to resist but don’t know how. One person can be part of a chain reaction that breaks through the political paralysis and changes history.
5. “Let’s wait till 2009 when another president will take office.” The leading presidential candidates have all signed onto Bush and Cheney’s plans to attack Iran and continue the war on Iraq. None of them have indicated that they will reverse any of the dictatorial assertions of executive power by Bush and Cheney. The Democrats in Congress have given the Bush Regime everything they’ve wanted and more. We cannot allow cynical partisan calculations that mean that torture, wars and warrantless wiretapping will be allowed to continue to set the terms of our world. The people must speak up.
6. “Why orange?” Orange is the color that our government forces prisoners held and tortured at Guantanamo to wear. Our wearing orange tells the world that we will not allow torture and crimes against humanity to be carried out in our name.
Declare It Now: Wear Orange doesn’t depend on media coverage. It is something that we can do ourselves. Contact: http://declareitnow.ning.com/

The ACLU and Amnesty International are sporting orange


1. Yesterday, Amnesty International published an orange ad in the NY Times because the Supreme Court was hearing the Guantanamo cases.
http://www.amnestyusa.org/i/LadyJustice.gif?tr=y&auid=3223094
2. Today, the ACLU sent out a letter asking people to wear orange on January 11th to protest the 6th anniversary of Guanatanamo.
Dear Friend,
On January 11, 2002 the first prisoners from Afghanistan arrived at the prison at Guantánamo Bay.
In the six years since, the prison has been a mark of shame for our country. In fact, three years after the military tribunals were first established there, there has yet to be a single trial completed for any person in custody.
Every day that the prison at Guantánamo stays open is an insult to our values and makes a mockery of our commitment to justice and the rule of law.
That's why on January 11th, the ACLU is leading a nationwide movement calling on people of conscience to wear orange and demand an immediate end to the injustice at Guantánamo Bay. By standing in solidarity we can shift the debate on this national disgrace. So, we're teaming up with organizations across the country to demand the prison be closed and asking ACLU activists to get involved.
To help you participate in this national day of action, we're asking ACLU activists to wear an orange "Close Guantánamo" armband on January 11. You can get a "Close Guantánamo" armband when you make a contribution to the ACLU today:
http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=taQo9jfaVoNo4faV90xPuw..
The fact is the Bush Administration decided to hold prisoners at Guantánamo because it believed the offshore location would be beyond the reach of our courts. This turned Guantánamo into a laboratory for indefinite detention and cruel treatment.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard two cases that challenge the Bush Administration's policy of holding prisoners without charging them. As we stated in our brief to the court, "[T]heir confinement in military custody without charges or trial for more than five years violates fundamental principles of due process of law." And, at Guantánamo Bay, the ACLU continued to monitor the latest kangaroo court-style hearing.
Guantánamo has become a stain on our nation's honor. That is why it is so important you join hundreds of thousands of Americans who are demanding the closure of the prison at Guantánamo on January 11th. You'll soon be hearing about the January events happening across the country and online. In the meantime, you can take the first step to get ready for the January 11 events by making a contribution to the ACLU and get a "Close Guantánamo" armband:
http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=jVl2BNs1Dvh8Kg586PGXuA..
Thank you so much for your involvement today as we fight to reclaim our constitutional heritage and restore the full vibrancy of our democracy.
Thank you, Anthony D. Romero Executive Director ACLU

Line Up by Ligorano/Reese of the Bush Regime
This is very powerfully conveyed. A must see. I particularly like the sound track and sound effects. As one of the YouTube viewers stated: "I am hoping they all get a one way ticket to the Hague to face trial for war crimes."

Enough Heroes to Fill a Book
http://afterdowningstreet.org/node/29121
By David Swanson
"A very few serve the state with their consciences, and so necessarily resist it." -Henry David Thoreau
"We should never forget that everything Adolph Hitler did in Germany was legal and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was illegal." -Martin Luther King Jr.
"A real cynic isn't going to blow the whistle. And a real radical probably won't be in a position to do it. It takes someone who believes in the system far more than the system ever believes in itself." -C. Fred Alford
Actually Thoreau is wrong. More than a few serve the state and resist its abuses, at significant risk to themselves. But very few of us know all of their stories. Resisters of the occupation of Iraq in the U.S., British, and Australian governments and militaries are plentiful enough to fill a book, and they've filled a good one.
"Dissent: Voices of Conscience: Government Insiders Speak Out Against the War in Iraq" is the forthcoming work of U.S. Army Colonel (Ret.) Ann Wright and Susan Dixon (forthcoming after a long delay imposed by the State Department). Wright is herself one of the many heroes whose stories are told in the book. Many of us who follow the war and the peace movement know Ann and know that she resigned from the U.S. diplomatic corps in protest of the invasion of Iraq. But can you name the other two U.S. diplomats who had already done the same thing? Do you know their stories?
What about the stories of the high level resisters in the British government? We've heard some of their names before, but here are the stories and statements of people like Katherine Gunn, Robin Cook, Elizabeth Wilmshurst, Clare Short, Carne Ross, and Craig Murray. Here is Frank Grevil, a Danish military intelligence officer who revealed how early his government knew of U.S. plans for war and how clearly his government knew there was no solid evidence of weapons in Iraq. Here, too, is Andrew Wilkie, an retired Australian Lieutenant Colonel and a civilian analyst who resigned in protest of his government's lies about Iraqi weapons, leading to censurein the Senate of Prime Minister John Howard, who recently lost a bid for reelection.
And what of whistleblowers in Washington? Do you know what Bunnatine Greenhouse, Jesselyn Radack, Mary Ryan, Sibel Edmonds, Russell Tice, and Coleen Rowley, among others, did, and what their government did to them to express its gratitude? These are our heroes. And like all heroes, they are often flawed. They knew about evil deeds because they were working for organizations some of us would never choose to work for, or because they went along with things they shouldn't have. And in some cases it took them a long time before they found the courage to speak out. The same can be said, of course, of members of the U.S. military who have resisted this illegal invasion and occupation.
But military heroes fill much of this book: officers, lawyers, whistleblowers, resisters and deserters, those facing court martial, those fled to Canada. Here are collected the stories and statements of those who spoke some bit of unpermitted truth: General Eric Shinseki, Lieutenant General (Ret.) Brent Scowcroft, General (Ret.) Anthony Zinni, Lieutenant General (Ret.) William Odom, Lieutenant General (Ret.) Gregory Newbold, Major General (Ret.) Paul Eaton, Major General (Ret.) John Batiste.
Here are the lawyers within the military who have worked for justice: Lieutenant Commander Charles Swift, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Diaz. And the whistleblowers in the ranks: Specialist Joe Darby, Captain Ian Fishback, Seargent Samuel Provance. Do you know these stories? These are our heroes. Do you know anyone serving in the U.S. government or military? Please send them a copy of this book. I'm sure the authors would be delighted to print an expanded edition with your friends in it when they speak truth to power.
Above all, "Dissent: Voices of Conscience" presents a sampling of the many stories of soldiers who have put down their weapons in this unjust war: Camilo Mejia, Pablo Paredes, Kevin Benderman, Stephen Funk, Abdullah Webster, Aidan Delgado, Katherine Jashinski, Melanie McPherson, Ehren Watada, Augustin Aguayo, Ricky Clousing, Mark Wilkerson, Jeremy Hinzman, Brandon Hughey, Joshua Key, Patrick Hart, Chris Magaoay, Darrell Anderson, Ivan Brobeck, Kyle Snyder, Ben Griffin, Malcolm Kendal-Smith, Mohisin Khan. There are many more.
All of these people have recognized that there was only one thing they could justly do, and they have done it. Perhaps it was illegal or disobedient, but it had to be done. Our Congress has one legal move remaining in impeachment, beyond which it too will have to step outside what is legal or lose its existence. But we as citizens have no right to ask that of our representatives or to ask those in the position to do so to resist, to leak, or to refuse illegal orders, unless we too recognize our one remaining move. We've voted and marched and lobbied and educated. Creative nonviolent civil disobedience is the one move remaining to us. It's our turn to step up and be heroes. It's now or never. Want some inspiration? Read this book: http://www.voicesofconscience.com

Fighting Terror with Terror: Bush and Cheney's War on the World
In the 1997 movie, Men in Black, agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) work for the secret agency MIB that monitors, polices and directs alien activity on Planet Earth. Whenever humans saw something that they aren't supposed to know about, the MIB agents used a special device shaped like a pen that would flash brightly and wipe people's memories clean of what they had just seen.
Bush and Cheney have been using a similar device, in this instance, named "GWOT": the global war on terror. All they have to do is brandish it, say the words "national security," and the Democratic Party, along with virtually the entire media (with only a handful of individual journalistic exceptions), instantly forget all of the horrible things that Bush and Cheney have done. They fall over backwards amongst each other to prove that they are no shrinking violets when it comes to standing up to the terrible terrorist threats. On one level, it's quite a hilarious sight, but on another, it's a terrible spectacle because of what has been done, is being done, and will be done in the name of the GWOT.
As I argue in the following article "Fighting Terror with Terror: Bush and Cheney's War on the World," posted on December 2, 2007 at Project Censored: "The stakes involved and the need for intellectual and emotional clarity could hardly be greater."
Since the GOP, the Democratic Party and the media are all unable to see clearly when the words "national security," "9/11,"and "terrorism" are invoked, rather like a magical spell cast by evil sorcerers in the White House, it is up to the rest of us to penetrate through the fog and expose this lie - a cover for tyranny, reaction, bigotry and a war on the world.
It is appropriate for Project Censored, which is dedicated to popularizing stories that have been buried or underplayed, to be the first to publish this essay. I tried unsuccessfully to get Harper's, the New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Salon.com, Huffington Post, the New York Review of Books, and Logos Journal to publish it. I will let you - dear reader - be the judge of its merits or demerits. I hope to hear from people about it and hope that it will be reposted at many other sites and sent to as many people as possible to read and debate.
P.S. There's a footnote that I inadvertently left out of the version of my article posted at Project Censored. The footnote belongs on page 3 as a citation for the fact that more than a million Iraqis have died as a result of our invasion. It should read:
Opinion Research Business, a British polling organization, reported in September 2007 that it arrived at a figure of 1.2 million Iraqis killed based on an Iraqi households survey. Just Foreign Policy also projects a similar figure using the Lancet study as its baseline and adding to it from the Iraq Body Count tally provided by western media. See Robert Naiman, “UK Poll Consistent with 1 Million Extrapolation of Lancet Death Toll,” September 14, 2007, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-naiman/uk-poll-consistent-with-1_b_64475.html.

Francis Boyle: Our Nuremberg Moment
Law and Resistance:
The Republic in Crisis and the People's Response
Speech by Professor Francis A. Boyle
University of Illinois College of Law
Tuesday, November 20, 2007 - 6 p.m.
Northwestern University School of Law
Lincoln Auditorium
357 E. Chicago Avenue
Sent by Francis Boyle - Nov 21, 2007 Chicago, Ill.
Sponsored by:
National Lawyers Guild,
Northwestern University Student Law School and Chicago Chapter of the NLG
Since the impeachable installation of George Bush Jr. as President by the U.S. Supreme Court's Gang of Five, the people of the world have witnessed a government in the United States that has demonstrated little if any respect for fundamental considerations of international law, human rights, or the United States Constitution. Instead, the world has watched a comprehensive and malicious assault upon the integrity of the international and domestic legal orders by a group of men and women who are thoroughly Machiavellian and Straussian in their perception of international relations and in their conduct of both foreign affairs and American domestic policy. Even more seriously, in many instances specific components of the Bush Jr. administration's foreign policy constitute ongoing criminal activity under well recognized principles of both international law and United States domestic law, and in particular the Nuremberg Charter, the Nuremberg Judgment, and the Nuremberg Principles, as well as the Pentagon's own U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10 on The Law of Land Warfare, which applies to President Bush Jr. himself as Commander-in-Chief of United States Armed Forces under Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution.
Depending on the substantive issues involved, these international and domestic crimes typically include but are not limited to the Nuremberg offences of “crimes against peace”-- so far Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and perhaps their longstanding threatened war of aggression against Iran. Their criminal responsibility also concerns “crimes against humanity” and war crimes as well as grave breaches of the Four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the 1907 Hague Regulations on land warfare: torture at Guantanamo, Bhagram, Abu Ghraib, and elsewhere; enforced disappearances, assassinations, murders, kidnappings, extraordinary renditions, “shock and awe,” depleted uranium, white phosphorous, cluster bombs, Fallujah, etc. Furthermore, various members of the Bush Jr. administration have committed numerous inchoate crimes incidental to these substantive offences that under the Nuremberg Charter, Judgment, and Principles as well as U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10 (1956) are international crimes in their own right: planning, and preparation, which they are currently doing today against Iran; solicitation, incitement, conspiracy, complicity, attempt, aiding and abetting. Of course the terrible irony of today's situation is that six decades ago at Nuremberg the U.S. government participated in the prosecution, punishment and execution of Nazi government officials for committing some of the same types of heinous international crimes that the Neo-Conservative Straussian members of the Bush Jr. administration currently inflict upon people all over the world. To be sure, I personally oppose the imposition of capital punishment upon any human being for any reason no matter how monstrous their crimes, whether they be Bush Jr., Tony Blair, or Saddam Hussein.
According to basic principles of international criminal law set forth in paragraph 501 of U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10, all high level civilian officials and military officers in the U.S. government who either knew or should have known that soldiers or civilians under their control (such as the C.I.A. or mercenary contractors) committed or were about to commit international crimes and failed to take the measures necessary to stop them, or to punish them, or both, are likewise personally responsible for the commission of international crimes. This category of officialdom who actually knew or should have known of the commission of these international crimes under their jurisdiction and failed to do anything about them include at the very top of America's criminal chain-of-command President Bush Jr. and Vice-President Cheney; former U.S. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld; Secretary of State Rice; Director of National Intelligence Negroponte, who was previously in charge of the contra terror war against the people of Nicaragua that murdered 35, 000 civilians; National Security Advisor Hadley; his Deputy Elliot Abrams, who was also criminally responsible for murdering 35,000 people in Nicaragua; former U.S. Attorney General Gonzales, criminally responsible for the torture campaign launched by the Bush Jr. administration; and the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staffs along with the appropriate Regional Commanders-in-Chiefs, especially for Central Command CENTCOM).
These U.S. government officials and their immediate subordinates are responsible for the commission of crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and war crimes as specified by the Nuremberg Charter, Judgment, and Principles as well as by U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10 of 1956. Today in international legal terms, the Bush Jr. administration itself should now be viewed as constituting an ongoing criminal conspiracy under international criminal law in violation of the Nuremberg Charter, the Nuremberg Judgment, and the Nuremberg Principles, because of its formulation and undertaking of serial wars of aggression, crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and war crimes that are legally akin to those perpetrated by the former Nazi regime in Germany. As a consequence, American citizens possess the basic right under international law and the United States domestic law, including the U.S. Constitution, to engage in acts of civil resistance designed to prevent, impede, thwart, or terminate ongoing criminal activities perpetrated by Bush Jr. administration officials in their conduct of foreign affairs policies and military operations purported to relate to defense and counter-terrorism.
For that very reason, large numbers of American citizens have decided to act on their own cognizance by means of civil resistance in order to demand that the Bush Jr. administration adhere to basic principles of international law, of U.S. domestic law, and of our own Constitution in its conduct of foreign affairs and military operations. Mistakenly, however, such actions have been defined to constitute classic instances of "civil disobedience" as historically practiced in the United States. And the conventional status quo admonition by the U.S. power elite and its sycophantic news media for those who knowingly engage in “civil disobedience” has always been that they must meekly accept their punishment for having performed a prima facie breach of the positive laws as a demonstration of their good faith and moral commitment. Nothing could be further from the truth! Today's civil resisters are the sheriffs! The Bush Jr. administration officials are the outlaws!
Here I would like to suggest a different way of thinking about civil resistance activities that are specifically designed to thwart, prevent, or impede ongoing criminal activity by members of the Bush Jr. administration under well-recognized principles of international and U.S. domestic law. Such civil resistance activities represent the last constitutional avenue open to the American people to preserve their democratic form of government with its historical commitment to the rule of law and human rights. Civil resistance is the last hope America has to prevent the Bush Jr. administration from moving even farther down the path of lawless violence in Southwest Asia, military interventionism in Latin America and Africa, and nuclear confrontation with Iran, North Korea, Russia, and China.
Such measures of "civil resistance" must not be confused with, and indeed must be carefully distinguished from, acts of "civil disobedience" as traditionally defined. In today's civil resistance cases, what we witness are U.S. citizens attempting to prevent the ongoing commission of international and domestic crimes under well-recognized principles of international law and U.S. domestic law. This is a phenomenon essentially different from the classic civil disobedience cases of the 1950s and 1960s where incredibly courageous African Americans and their supporters were conscientiously violating domestic laws for the express purpose of changing them. By contrast, today's civil resisters are acting for the express purpose of upholding the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution, human rights, and international law. Applying the term “civil disobedience” to such civil resistors mistakenly presumes their guilt and thus perversely exonerates the Bush Jr. administration criminals.
Civil resistors disobeyed nothing, but to the contrary obeyed international law and the United States Constitution. By contrast, Bush Jr. administration officials disobeyed fundamental principles of international law as well as U.S. criminal law and thus committed international crimes and U.S. domestic crimes as well as impeachable violations of the United States Constitution. The civil resistors are the sheriffs enforcing international law, U.S. criminal law and the U.S. Constitution against the criminals working for the Bush Jr. administration!
Today the American people must reaffirm our commitment to the Nuremberg Charter, Judgment, and Principles by holding our government officials fully accountable under international law and U.S. domestic law for the commission of such grievous international and domestic crimes. We must not permit any aspect of our foreign affairs and defense policies to be conducted by acknowledged “war criminals” according to the U.S. government's own official definition of that term as set forth in U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10 (1956), the U.S. War Crimes Act, and the Geneva Conventions. The American people must insist upon the impeachment, dismissal, resignation, indictment, conviction, and long-term incarceration of all U.S. government officials guilty of such heinous international and domestic crimes. That is precisely what American civil resisters are doing today!
This same right of civil resistance extends pari passu to all citizens of the world community of states. Everyone around the world has both the right and the duty under international law to resist ongoing criminal activities perpetrated by the Bush Jr. administration and its nefarious foreign accomplices in allied governments such as in Britain, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Georgia, etc. If not so restrained, the Bush Jr. administration could very well precipitate a Third World War.
In this regard, during the course of an October 17, 2007 press conference, President Bush Jr. terrorized the entire world with the threat of World War III if he could not work his illegal will upon Iran. Then Russian President Vladimir Putin responded in kind by likewise terrorizing the entire world with the prospect of yet another Cuban Missile Crisis if he did not get his way on the needlessly provocative anti-ballistic missile systems that the Bush Jr. administration plans to locate in Poland and the Czech Republic. The publicly threatened U.S./Israeli attack upon Iran could readily set off a chain of events that would culminate in World War III, and could easily go nuclear. It is my opinion that the Bush Jr. administration would welcome the outbreak of a Third World War, and in any event is fully prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons against Muslim and Arab states and peoples.
After September 11, 2001 the United States of America has vilified and demonized Muslims and Arabs almost to the same extent that America inflicted upon the Japanese and Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor. As the Nazis had previously demonstrated with respect to the Jews, a government must first dehumanize and scapegoat a race of people before its citizens will tolerate if not approve their elimination: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In post-9/11 America we are directly confronted with the prospect of a nuclear war of extermination conducted by our White Racist Judeo-Christian Power Elite against People of Color in the Muslim and Arab worlds in order to steal their oil and gas. The Crusades all over again. But this time nuclear Armageddon stares all of humankind right in the face!
We American lawyers must be inspired by the stunning example set by those heroic Pakistani lawyers now leading the struggle against the brutal Bush-supported Musharraf military dictatorship. We American lawyers must now lead the fight against the Bush Jr. dictatorship! This is our Nuremberg Moment!
Thank you.
