Appeal to Nobel Laureates and other Internationally Noteworthy Figures

 

Dear Name Nobel Prize
           Over a quarter of a Century ago, we were honored, and helped, by the extraordinary support of over 130 Nobel Laureates that supported the Appeal-Manifesto-against the extermination for famine and war. The results of that initiative were extraordinary and concrete commitments of the European Union and the Italian Government with which, for example, the mass vaccination in Africa – the first of that kind and entity – was made possible. Since then, at different times, and for many other initiatives we have turned to you, as for the establishment of the International Criminal Court, obtained in July 1998; in March 2001, over 50 Nobelists supported the candidature to the Italian Parliament of Dr. Luca Coscioni affected by Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis; in October 2004, some 80 of Nobel Laureates signed against the ban of scientific research on embryonic stem cells at the United Nations, that was blocked at the General Assembly in February 2005; lastly, in June 2007, over 55 Nobel Prize Winners signed a letter for the UN Moratorium of the Death Penalty, which was eventually voted by 104 countries last 18 December. Over the years, a total of 250 Nobelists, with a total of some 340 endorsements, which have supported and encouraged us in enterprises not rarely considered impossible.
            Today, again, and as unfortunately often happens to us with extreme urgency, we want to inform you, in the framework of the“2008 First World Satyagraha for Peace” with Democracy, Liberty and the International rule of law, of another initiative that we consider of historical character. We offer a work of truth, taking the full responsibility to “call for President George W. Bush to be held accountable, so permitting his defence, of the charges of unleashing forces of mass destruction in a war against Iraq started between the 19th and 20th of March 2003, with the sole purpose of impeding an already impending and inevitable peaceful liberation of the Iraqi people from the criminal dictator Saddam Hussein and his regime” through the exile he had in the end accepted.
            We are supported in this work by the acquisition of a copious documentation (which unfortunately, given our conditions is currently mainly in Italian) that we want to bring to your attention and knowledge -progressively it will be made available in English too.
            All what announced above was at the center of an initiative of ours called “Free Iraq, as the only alternative to the war” that, in polemics with the pacifist and militarist campaigns, we took the responsibility to undertake since January 2003, with extraordinary official results in Italy and Europe to give a sensible contribution to the real explosion all over the Middle East and beyond of the possible conquest of Peace not through the lamentations and protestations of a Century that proved to be disastrous and counterproductive, but through the objective of rendering an oppressed and victimized people free, without the shedding of blood. 
There Exist, and persist, already copious “American” and Anglo-Saxon literatures denouncing the methods and behaviours of the U.S. and British Administrations. The least we can say is that those events constitute a turbid, black, page for the U.S. and, for that reason, for the entire democratic world and its image. Democracy, America, Europe have, together, constituted for decades an objective weapon of mass attraction for the world, a global hope for Freedom, Democracy and Peace. Today, they seem to have become their opposite. A real tragedy should those behaviours been confirmed.
 Here we are addressing other matters, we proclaim it, other than that noble, unfertile till now, “literature”; here we tell, and document, and denounce (taking all the consequent risks and responsibilities) a clamorous event (still apparently not “seen”- or so it seems – by anybody).
 We denounce a precise fact, a misfit of blinding evidence: President Bush, against peace at the verge of triumphing, unleashed a war on 19-20 March 2003 against the democratic and peaceful liberation of Iraq, against the resignation and the exile, under international aegis, of Saddam Hussein, against the transition to democracy governed and protected by the International Community. Against all this, only against all this, President Bush eventually unleashed a war, betraying his oath, his flag, the history and the American people, trampling the honour of our civil world.
We are fully aware of which forces, and their might, that will try to suffocate this umpteenth initiative of ours from the beginning. In fact, for 50 over years, the unpredictable results that we have been able to trigger, as a “libertarian” Party of two or three thousand members from all over the world, notoriously poor, armed with the only power of the word and nonviolence, that has been able to impact the political and human reality of our time.
We are fully aware that, thanks to the limpidity and clarity with which we operate, there are already “resistances” of apparently mightier force compared to ours. It would therefore be precious if, once again, we are not isolated, and that also on this occasion, your explicit faith, endorsement and support impede that this manifestation of the “First World Satyagraha for Peace” is not silenced but spread throughout the Internet as well as the institutional world (Fourth Power included! ).
For this reason I urge you, should you agree, to support and help us and to reply with a simple message: I share and support this initiative.
Whatever you will decide, I would be thankful if you could reply, emailing us your considerations and suggestions. We are hungry for them (also because many of us, after having been on thirst and hunger strikes for the Universal Moratorium of the death penalty or to try and save the despicable “Cain” Saddam Hussein from a “Cain” State, are, persevering on this wrong path, fasting to save Saddam’s partner in crime Tareq Aziz!)
Grazie, and on behalf of the Nonviolent Radical Party, Transnational and Transparty, No Peace Without Justice, Hands Off Cain, Luca Coscioni Association for freedom of scientific research, the Esperanto Radikala Asocio, International Antiprohibitionist , Radicali Italiani, Anticlericale.net, I hope to hear from you soon. 
 
  
 
 
Appeal to Nobel Laureates and other Internationally Noteworthy Figures
August 8, 2008
        We call for President George W. Bush to be held accountable, so permitting his defence, of the charges of unleashing forces of mass destruction in a war against Iraq started between the 19th and 20th of March 2003, with the sole purpose of impeding an already impending and inevitable peaceful liberation of the Iraqi people from the criminal dictator Saddam Hussein and his regime with his exile.
        We have acquired the proof, of which we shall unequivocally demonstrate herewith, that President Bush, first by “diplomatic” means, then by the projected murder of Saddam, and, finally, with warfare, averted that Iraq’s liberation from the dictatorial regime could happen, already in mid-February of 2003, as Bush himself knew, with the acceptance on the part of Saddam Hussein to step down, resign and go into exile together with his keens, with the guarantee of immunity under the supervision of the International Community as brokered by the very same Bush Administration.
         A liberation conquered with PEACE, without a drop of blood spilled, was forthcoming, along with a transition to democracy under the auspices of the United Nations with the unanimous support of the International Community.
         The evidence we hold of these charges is without ambiguity and rests outside the realm of the circumstantial.
         Our case rests upon official documents such as that of the British Government relating to a meeting between President Bush and the U.K.’s Tony Blair at the Oval Office on January 31, 2003, along with that of the Spanish Government detailing the meeting at Crawford Ranch in Texas between President Bush and the then Spanish Premier Aznar, including the participation via telephone of Italy’s Berlusconi and Blair. Conclusive in themselves, and further clarified by a faithful reconstruction of the meeting, would be the events of the Arab League on March 1st in Sharm-el-Sheikh. In fact, on that occasion, a final death-blow to the hope for a peaceful resolution, was given by an incursion of the Libyan Dictator Gheddafi. We can follow, day by day, and step by step, the path of the U.S. President from the second half of January up to ten days after the war had already begun, when many still sought to halt it, proposing the peaceful solution of the exile for Saddam as his very life was being sought by U.S. forces.
By this time, the mass of lies and the web of accusations over-abundantly championed by the American and, in general, Anglo-Saxon press, had crystallized in a fore-drawn conclusion: in any event and at any cost – war!
Certainly, the alibi of weapons of mass destruction, “U.N. documentation” on Iraq’s presumed unconventional arms, and that of an alliance between Saddam and Al-Qaeda, as well as the scandalous and misused intelligence reports – now besmeared by their own patent illegality and instrumental aggression – became the means to waging all-out war to stall the real solution: PEACE, REFORM and TRANSITION to a Democratic and Secular Iraq with the non new option of the exile of a this powerful and cruel dictator.
         Our current objective is to seek, by all possible means, the official acknowledgment: a) by public opinion, b) through National and International Legislative Inquiries, c) through National and International Judicial Inquests. And with particular faith in the Lawmakers, Representatives and Senators of the United States, both Federal and State, whose mandate may soon be coming to an end, and their successors.
         We take the responsibility to trigger a great Movement, fuelled by acquisition of a grave historical truth – as provided for in our initiative “2008: The First Worldwide Satyagraha for Peace” with Democracy, Freedom and the International Rule of Law – which will firmly instil a perspective of peace, liberty, democracy and nonviolence. At a moment when the madness of power seeks to instil, once again, the historical necessity of wars, both old and new, bringing destruction not only to humanity but the Planet itself, we appeal with a “May-Day,” an “S.O.S.,” to those powers and personalities, to those illustrious organizations for Human, Civil, Political and Social Rights, lest we remain helplessly locked in a status quo of lethal implications for our world and for every reasonable desire for peace, freedom, democracy and justice.  
         Our search for truth, and our defence of the Rule of Law, the true history of the United States, of its Flag, does not entail seeking what would be an absolutely legitimate intention to trigger a process of impeachment before the coming elections. Not at all. Instead, we immediately call for a process of review, disclosure and justice regarding a power that, violating every rule, every vow, all prudence and every loyalty, is principally responsible for an explosive structural crisis in our times.
         We believe that all this may not be superfluous at a time when alarming signs of the next “pre-emptive” war are becoming more evident. Again, unilaterally, against an absolute “evil” – Tehran. The call for war as unrelenting with Iran tomorrow as it was with Iraq just yesterday.
         All this at the risk of changing and redefining history, the civil and democratic participation within our nations, and the world of which we are all a part.
