The campaign to Make Wars History is the Stop-the-War campaign with knobs on! MWH has a fighting chance (pardon the metaphor) of succeeding where STW plainly won’t (beyond making a noise on the street), namely, to Stop War Permanently.  

MWH’s message and modus operandi are quite simple: there exist already a number of international treaties and laws dating back to the aftermath of WW1 (the first signed by 60 countries in 1928) which clearly make it a CRIMINAL OFFENCE to initiate or wage war under ANY circumstances, bar self-defence in the event of a direct attack which is already in motion. Pre-emptive strikes are therefore not an option, nor any other form of prophylactic aggression. Nor, according to the Nuremberg Judgement of 1946 does simply ‘following orders’ exonerate any of those engaged in the prosecution of war from liability. And Genocide in any shape or form is a criminal offence. 

In other words modern war-law is unequivocal that 99.9% of modern war is ILLEGAL, therefore those who initiate it are in breach and liable for prosecution as criminals. The MWH campaign focuses most particularly on the Law Enforcement officers (police)whose job it is to apprehend criminals and bring them to justice, hence we are busy reporting  the  heads of our government and all those who endorsed the invasion of Iraq as criminals under international law. The police are failing in their duty if they neglect to arrest these ‘war-criminals’. Another target group is the Armed Forces; new recruits are reminded that if they enlist for service in illegal wars they themselves will be accessories to crime and liable for prosecution. But nor do ordinary citizens escape liability – if you endorse the actions of a criminal government by paying taxes in support of illegal wars you are yourselves accessories to the crime – so don’t pay your taxes!! 

Neat, eh? Especially in these harsh economic times when many might wish to dodge their taxes!! However could MWH be playing some kind of game, since few will take seriously the injunction to have prominent politicians and their legal advisers and senior members of the military arrested as common criminals. Nor will those who sign up to serve ‘King & Country’ on foreign fields be regarded by the mass of the public as anything but heroes, never mind that the war was wrong to start with, those who give their lives in it are still heroes! And as for withholding taxes, well you’ll be preventing all those poor people who need benefits from receiving them. Government needs tax-money to provide welfare services and to fund the NHS in its current incarnation as well as paying for soldiers to fight wars.  

To all these objectors and quibblers and folk who pooh-pooh any effort to try to end war we would remind you that you do not question the need for LAW in general as a means of ensuring social stability and as the bedrock of a civilised and orderly society. The laws outlawing war are no exception. Anti-war legislation in constraining governments from embarking on mindless violence and destruction is surely a most vital part of the whole body of law, both national and international. A crying shame that it has been to date far too little known about nor recognised.  

It is MWH’s aim to redress this omission and to flag up the substantial body of anti-war law which already exists and could be utilised in helping bring about a permanently peaceful and orderly world.   

One day human beings will hopefully be mature enough to be able to do without law and laws. But  in the meantime our frail and fallible laws are all we have to ensure that civilisation, like the laborious progress of a climber up a sheer mountainside,  continues upwards to the level to which we all aspire, whether we are builders of the New World Order, New Age visionaries or just ordinary citizens!   

MWH in marrying POPULAR REVULSION AGAINST WAR,  as demonstrated on February 15th 2003 (when 2 million marched in central London to try to stem the initiation of war against Iraq) to existing WAR-LAW is providing a timely means of advancing civilisation and outlawing barbarity.

 A campaign and principles worth supporting, surely.

DAVID ICKE TO STAND IN ‘BIG BROTHER’ BY-ELECTION

David Icke

David Icke

David Icke stands on: ‘Big Brother – The BIG Picture’

David Icke, author of ten books warning about the Big Brother State, is standing with David Davis in the upcoming parliamentary by-election in Haltemprice and Howden.

For nearly 20 years, Icke has been been warning about, and detailing the background to, a hidden agenda for a global fascist state that is now unfolding at an ever-increasing pace.

When he began his then one-man campaign to expose the agenda of the Hidden Hand he was met with dismissal and ridicule, but there is laughter no longer among people with minds of their own because what he predicted in his books is now daily experience. As a result, enormous numbers of people worldwide are now looking at his work.

Icke’s research spans nearly two decades and has taken him so far to some 45 countries to expose and uncover the global Orwellian agenda.

His books, like … And The Truth Shall Set You Free, The Biggest Secret, Children of the Matrix, Tales from the Time Loop and his latest, The David Icke Guide To The Global Conspiracy, are now in 16 languages and Icke’s information is rapidly gaining support throughout the world.

In the next few weeks he is speaking in Romania, Croatia, Italy and the United States, with other events being planned for Australia and New Zealand. He has recently returned from speaking in Japan where he now has six books circulating in Japanese.

In May, he spoke to 2,500 people for seven hours at the Brixton Academy in London. Every seat was taken three months in advance and he could easily have filled an arena of 5,000 or more had one been available at the time. On the last occasion he spoke in Los Angeles, 3,000 people came.

While the mainstream media have ridiculed and dismissed him, others have taken the trouble to read what he is saying in detail and taken a very different view of what he is exposing – especially when the evidence is now before their eyes.

David Icke is standing in this by-election in support of the stance taken by David Davis and has no wish to be elected:

‘If I don’t get a single vote, that’s fine so long as they all go to David Davis because a vote for me or him is a combined vote against the Orwellian State that is now looking us in the eye.

‘I have absolutely no wish to be involved in the web of lies, deceit and corruption that controls the Westminster ‘Parliament’, nor would I ever pledge the obligatory allegiance to a monarch who is only head of state because of her DNA and therefore the symbol of one of the most racist institutions on the planet.

‘I swear allegiance to nothing and no-one, except my own conscience.

‘But this is an opportunity to both support David Davis in his stand against Big Brother and to highlight the fact that what is happening to our basic freedoms, liberties and privacy is far, far bigger than even Mr. Davis appears to understand.

The Big Brother State in Britain does not originate with the Labour government, sleazy and deeply corrupt as it is. The government of Blair and now Brown is merely the vehicle for the global Big Brother agenda to be introduced in the UK.

‘It is happening everywhere – is the Labour government responsible for what is being introduced in the United States, Canada, Australia, Sweden, etc. etc.? Of course not, and the bigger picture and the connections that form the global web have to be understood if the dark-suits-in-jackboots are to be stopped.’

This has gone from a mere thought to deciding to stand in just four days because of the support and encouragement David Icke has received. He says:

‘Yes, of course, the mainstream media will ridicule me, but so what’s new? I am not be doing it for them, nor to win a popularity contest, or even an election. I am doing it for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see and children and grandchildren to protect from the nightmare world that is coming so fast unless we make a stand now.’

‘There is an enormous amount of what David Davis stands for on other issues that I fundamentally disagree with, but this is a time for all colours, creeds, backgrounds and views to unite on something that affects ALL of us – the tearing down of the most basic freedoms.

And if people think they live in a Big Brother Police State now, they have seen nothing yet. What we are seeing today is just the start.’
