All,

The significance of 11 September, 8:45 am?

In 1973,  the American Government backed a coup that ousted the
democratically elected government of Chile. At 8:45 11 September 1973
Salvador Allende, President, made an impassioned radio broadcast that helps
put events 28 years later at New York and Washington in their historical
context.

Let us all help America restore its democracy and stop it from reproducing
terror. Let us mourn the dead and disappeared of New York and Washington
along with the dead and disappeared of Chile's 'night', which lasted a
generation. Let us object to 'a war whose enemies are not yet known' on the
grounds that the American government trained, backed and created its own
demons, and that such language is a threat and affront  to all of us
implying the emergence of deep currents of fascism in the American psyche
from Salem through to MacCartheyism. Let us give all of our love, support
and goodwill to Americans as they make their priority necessary change in
their government's policy, or change their government. Let us not be
complicit in the victimisation of another Islamic country (and the
production of future 'terrorisms').  Lets break the cycle.

Let us put a stop to a racist war before the war machine is mobilised. Let
us remind every generation that rights are won, re-won or extended by each
generation. or they are lost for all.

Stop the war.

People,

  Conventional media interests concerned about recent damage to the
American Market and Military appear to be building consensus for a war by
The West against Afghanistan.

   Doesn't seem fair. Doesn't seem sane.

  Can we come up with a boycott of war preparations among IT professionals
internationally? Seems to me that the US and The West cannot go to war
without its geeks. 

  Suggestions for a range of resistances from 'sick leave' to 'getting
caught up in that tricky Perl problem again' ought to be discussed among
your networks.

  Stop these insane war preparations. Break the cycle of violence.

  Lachlan

Subject: Keep the Faith

Since I have been working out of the bedroom as my office,
I rolled over first thing this morning and downloaded this web
page http://www.thedotin.net/world/.  It was quite a moving
way to start the day.

We heard this morning that Palestine and Israel have set
aside their grievances and declared a cease-fire until this thing
is resolved.

Palestine and other Arab nations are talking about extradition
to prevent war.

Keep the faith in Peace!
Phil
