The COMPLETE 5 Points-Strategy for Salvation of the Planet . Introduction The criminal behaviour of the US government following the Sept.11 terrorist attacks - which the government as a minimum had prior knowledge of ( see: http://www. groups.yahoo.com/group/anti-crusade ) - more urgently than ever requires a COMPLETE realistic strategy to get rid of the corporate rule. Unlike the WWII situation with an alliance of states to defeat the agressors there is this time no such alliance with adequate power, since the US has bribed almost all governments of the world. It is therefore the duty of us, the people, armed or unarmed, to unite and stop the madness. The present strategy is about the peaceful revolution. The situation Like the Reichstag Fire in 1933, the Sept. 11 attacks and the subsequent corporate media war mongering campaign have been extremely successful. From a hopeless economic / political situation, the White House NAZI community (see: http://www.tarpley.net/bush2.htm) overnight has got free hands to turn the recession into a Drittes Reich style war economy, pursue total Fourth Reich world dominans by knocking down the few anti-imperialist countries and the global resistance movement , occupying Afghanistan and other countries of importance for supply and price of the oil for satisfaction of the excessive US waste of energy, cutting civil rights, etc. In stead of Jews, the game of the hunt justifying any violation of human rights and international laws this time is 'terrorists' the definition of which gradully is being extended to include all opponents of imperialism, compare with the 1930's. The insane slaughtering of defenseless civilians in Afghanistan of course has outraged all peoples of the world and lead to numerous peace demonstrations everywhere. Our task now therefore is to unite the peace movement and the global anti-corporate movement. If this succeeds, the necessary long sought for very broad resistance movement will be a reality, and the end to corporate rule within reach. As the peace movement in general is less politically aware than the resistance movement, the task more specifically is to bring to the peace movement's attention the fact that behind the terrorist war criminal in the White House are the corporations, in particular the oil and war industries who impatiently expect to be rewarded for their bribes to the Bush 'election' campaign. In this way we reach the point where everybody recognize that the TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS responsible for all of the big problems of the planet are THE target to be neutralized. Strategy 1. Take over the corporations The immediate practical conclusion without long ideological discussions therefore is: TAKE OVER THE CORPORATIONS ! by utilizing the ultimate potentials of organized consumers' power and the Casino Economy, see: http;//www.group.yahoo.group/takeovercorporations and http://www.unitedpeoples.net Self-evidently we don't need to take over all 50.000 transnational corporations. If we just control key players within the most important key areas, our immense economic and political power thereby will enable us to control the rest by the mere threat of taking over those who don't obey to new revolutionary rules favoring exclusively the needs of the people and the nature. An appropriate corporation to start with would seem to be ExxonMobil/Esso. Neck and neck with Monsanto, this most nefarious corporation has a tiny lead over Monsanto because its ultimate goal is the COMPLETE destruction of life on Earth. By bribing and lobbying the US governments to continue and increase the insane US energy waste, hiring corrupt 'scientists' to put out 'scientific' papers denying the global warming, etc., this world champion polluter has been and is the very most persistent and influential player among the most hideous corporations fighting any progress towards salvation of the planet, thus being THE most harmful corporation in history ! TAKE OVER ExxonMobil/Esso ! The on-going efficient boycott of this corporation just has to be expanded and concluded in this way. 2. Simultaneously with this boycott campaign and concluding takeover, all of the protest demonstrations against the international corporate institutions, direct actions, WB boycott, etc. that already have made history will continue and support the takeover of the corporations. 3. The hidden resistance from the fossil energy industries against the new inexhaustable and pollution-free sources of energy (gravitational, solar, etc.) immediately must be disclosed and this new energy implemented worldwide, http://www.freelectricity.com/ 4. The new grb economic system will be implemented to immediately eliminate poverty, preserve and expand the natural resources by replacing the present destructive currencies with the internet based ecocredit that measures the actual value of the natural resources, and introduce the IT technology everywhere, see: Global Resource Bank, www.grb.net The grb system preferably will be implemented globally at once. Alternatively it may be implemented gradually, starting for instance with the African Union that has decided to have one single currency for all of the continent. 5. The International Criminal Court will prosecute ALL of the individuals, including those behind the mass media, with major responsibility for the latest decades of vast war crimes and crimes against humanity and nature. FAST TRACK Considering the very grave situation, a ' fast track ' procedure should be applied to the pondering of this project. It means that the normal 4-steps psycological process (neglecting, ridiculing, fighting and finally accepting an untraditional idea as being obvious) should be shortcutted by the 3 first steps. Remember: Now that you have been aquainted with this complete solution to the misery, you have become responsible for its realisation, unless you have an even better solution ! Any progressive with a conscience and awareness of the daily rate of 40.000 killed children will not feel peace until the project has been carried out. secr@unitedpeoples.net P.S.
