Subject: (abolition-usa) Forum: The Global War System & the WTO

Forum: The World Trade organization and the Global War System
Sunday, November 28th 1999

The growing power of the World Trade Organization and corporate
globalization means that the economic interests of transnational
corporations are protected by the technological advanced militaries of their
Western allies. And this means that occasionally, 'cruise missile diplomacy"
is used against non-conforming nations - i.e. Iraq and Yugoslavia. Learn
more about the relationship between economic globalization and militarism.

Subject: (abolition-usa) FOR MOTHER EARTH!: FME New address, phone and fax numbers

"Sogo Bia Oyon'd is the Shoshone translation of 'For Mother Earth'. Our
group found its origin in 1991 as we were planning a 5.500 Walk from New
York City to the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. The nuclear test site was
established with agreement of the Shoshone Native Americans who are the
caretakers of the land according to the Treaty of Ruby Valley."

Dear Anti-Nuclear Colleagues:
    What Pol does not point out is that the sick and demented people
running  the Nevada Nuclear Test Site actually blew off a bomb while Pol and
Mother Earth were standing above the Site. To the best of my knowledge, this
was the first time that such a crime had actually been deliberately
inflicted on human beings. The usual practice was that when people entered
the test site, they would postpone the blast until the people had been
removed, then prosecute them  in the local courts. Over the years we had
fought them to a standstill in the Nye county court system so that there
were no further prosecutions there. But for some reason, in the case of
Mother Earth (perhaps because it was known they were not US citizens) they
departed from prior practice and deliberately blew the bomb off under them.
Given the fact that all such explosions vent nuclear particles, undoubtedly
Pol and Mother Earth were deliberately subjected to nuclear contamination
and poisoning--a Nuremberg Crime against Humanity:"...and other inhumane
acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war..."
Then the United States government had the audacity to prosecute Mother Earth
for trespass onto the test site.
    There are large numbers of courageous anti-nuclear resisters who
have emerged during the past 20 years since the first Plowshares Action. Pol
and Mother Earth stand right there at the top of the list. My
congratulations to them on taking this "American experience" back home,
putting it to good use, establishing this organization, and continuing the
struggle. Best wishes on the new office. Live long and prosper!

There is one other important point of clarification  to keep in mind: The
Shoshone People maintain that they still have legal title to the Nevada Test
Site, which was illegally stolen from them by the United States government
in violation of the Treaty of Ruby Valley. As the valid title holders, they
have given permission to groups of individuals to enter upon the Nevada Test
Site in order to protest nuclear  bomb explosions. So far, we have been
unsuccessful in making these points in court, though we have tried. fab.

"Sogo Bia Oyon'd is the Shoshone translation of 'For Mother Earth'. Our

Dear Anti-Nuclear Colleagues:
    What Pol does not point out is that the sick and demented people
running  the Nevada Nuclear Test Site actually blew off a bomb while Pol and
Mother Earth were standing above the Site. To the best of my knowledge, this
was the first time that such a crime had actually been deliberately
inflicted on human beings. The usual practice was that when people entered
the test site, they would postpone the blast until the people had been
removed, then prosecute them  in the local courts. Over the years we had
fought them to a standstill in the Nye county court system so that there
were no further prosecutions there. But for some reason, in the case of
Mother Earth (perhaps because it was known they were not US citizens) they
departed from prior practice and deliberately blew the bomb off under them.
Given the fact that all such explosions vent nuclear particles, undoubtedly
Pol and Mother Earth were deliberately subjected to nuclear contamination
and poisoning--a Nuremberg Crime against Humanity:"...and other inhumane
acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war..."
Then the United States government had the audacity to prosecute Mother Earth
for trespass onto the test site.
    There are large numbers of courageous anti-nuclear resisters who
have emerged during the past 20 years since the first Plowshares Action. Pol
and Mother Earth stand right there at the top of the list. My
congratulations to them on taking this "American experience" back home,
putting it to good use, establishing this organization, and continuing the
struggle. Best wishes on the new office. Live long and prosper!

There is one other important point of clarification  to keep in mind: The
Shoshone People maintain that they still have legal title to the Nevada Test
Site, which was illegally stolen from them by the United States government
in violation of the Treaty of Ruby Valley. As the valid title holders, they
have given permission to groups of individuals to enter upon the Nevada Test
Site in order to protest nuclear  bomb explosions. So far, we have been
unsuccessful in making these points in court, though we have tried. fab.
