25 April 2003 Playing Card Deck
Shows Way to U.S. Regime Change
In the wake of
the U.S.'s "pre-emptive" destruction of Iraq, her
people, and her culture, the Trade Regulation
Organization is issuing a "55 most wanted" playing-card
deck similar to the one that the Pentagon issued two
weeks ago in Iraq.
The TRO, estimating that the
U.S. governing regime is no longer consistent with world
peace or prosperity, hopes that the playing cards will
show the way to regime change and, eventually,
large-scale war crimes proceedings.
According to
the TRO, the victims of the unprovoked U.S. war fall
into three categories:
People. In the 1991 Gulf
War, up to 200,000 civilians and up to 150,000 soldiers
were killed by ordinary bombs or their effects on
infrastructure. 1, 2, 3, 4 In addition, poisoning
from U.S. depleted uranium (DU) weapons - banned by the
Geneva Convention1 - has led to hundreds of thousands
more Iraqi cancers and deaths; the 80,000 cases of "Gulf
War syndrome" among U.S. veterans are most likely also
due to DU exposure. 1, 2, 3, 4 In the 2003 Iraq War,
the U.S. once again used massive amounts of DU in its
weapons. Iraqi death counts are unknown or unpublicized.
Culture. Because of a U.S. policy giving carte
blanche to looters - only the Oil Ministry and Interior
Ministry were protected - the Middle East's leading
archaeological museum lost almost all of its unique
ancient artifacts, and two libraries full of
irreplaceable medieval manuscripts were destroyed. 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6 Long-term prospects. The U.S. is now
considered the primary world criminal by the vast
majority of the world's citizens. The implications for
the U.S.'s long-term prospects are grim. Many of
those featured on the "55 most wanted" cards are in
government, and removing these people from power would
go a long way towards making the world a safer place.
Others include corporate CEOs; in those cases,
the corporations themselves must be dissolved or
otherwise rendered incapable of further harm.
"If one day the people on these cards are indeed
brought to justice, 'just following orders' or
'supporting our troops' will be no excuse for the rest
of us," said TRO spokeswoman Hedwig Ixtabal-Mono. Link

WTH? Is this the actual site of the
WTO?? The WTO is disbanding becuase "The WTO will eventually
reintegrate as a new trade body whose charter will be to
ensure that trade benefits the poor. " The WTO going after the
corrupt American elite? I am really confused. Is
this a dream?

The link
above is to www.gatt.org. The real WTO site is http://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/thewto_e.htm.
They are not disbanding.

think the first thing the left needs to do is to stop
stereotyping the working class. That's elitist behavior
and people resent it. Many working class people don't
drink beer, don't like sports, and aren't stupid.
