Statement from Ken O'Keefe on successes and failures of the Human Shield action to Iraq Thursday, 10th April, 2003

Elitist commissars and the "Prostitutes of Propaganda" are working overtime, yet one hard fact remains with regard to Human Shields; Human Shields were present at all major power and water plants in Baghdad. Human Shields remained so throughout the invasion and bombing of Iraq. Subsequently the power and water serving millions of Iraqi civilians in Baghdad was never "knocked out" by U.S./U. K. bombing. Tragically however, we did not have the numbers of Human Shields required to protect similar sites in Basra and elsewhere. Subsequently millions of Iraqi civilians have lost their power and water (particularly Basra) due to bombing of these sites over two weeks ago (a blatant violation of the Geneva Conventions). As a result of these civilian targets being bombed, diseases are spreading, suffering is increasing and intense and a humanitarian crisis is looming. These latter victims are the forgotten ones who will never be counted in the official death toll, many of them are yet to die.

So when somebody asks me, "was the Human Shield action a failure?" I shall reply by saying that my goal was to stop a seemingly unstoppable war, to stop a war that sets the stage for World War III. In that larger goal I did not succeed. However, with regard to the suffering that was prevented and the Iraqi lives that were saved, whether it be one life, ten, one hundred, a thousand, tens of thousands or more, I feel immensely empowered. I am deeply proud of all the Human Shields no matter what our differences and I am proud of my part in this truly historic action.

I stand by strategic direct action and mass civil disobedience 100%. I commit to building on the success of the Human Shield action so as to achieve its full potential, which is to expose the truth, effect justice and prevent war. Prepare for Christmas in Palestine 2003. - K. N. O'Keefe

Oh, by the way, here's Mr. O'Keefe's picture:

Just the sort you'd follow on a crusade to Baghdad--if you were too stupid or drug-addled to remember your own address...

[Frank_Discussion]

WOW... They're really putting handles on that ol' sow's ear, aren't they?

[billorites]

Yep. Looks like a wanker, alright.

Hi mom!

[ArcLight]

By the way, Mr. O'Keefe says "I feel immensely empowered." Well, that's it, then, innit? Long as you're feeling empowered it was all worthwhile.

Retard.

I stand by strategic direct action

yeah...you were standing, all right....no where near the right place, though.

[mvpel]

Power was in fact knocked out in Baghdad. What are they talking about?

[ArcLight]

Centcom says they never hit the power plants and don't know why the power went out.

[demnomo]

Wasn't this fool kicked out of Iraq before the war started? And, last I heard, there was no power in Baghdad...

Palestine in Christmas of 2003? That ought to be interesting. Seems that the human shields are big fans of terrorists and dictators so long as the terrorists & dictators kill their own people and Jews.

[ArcLight]

I'm glad they lived; I wish death on nobody except Saddam, Osama and the like. But boy--what a passel of simpering, self-important lamers!

[Hildy]

Does this guy really have a tear tattooed under his eye? I'm sure his mother has alot of tears under HER eyes.

[jejones]

So, did he learn reality detachment from Baghdad Bob, or was it the other way around?

[demosthenes the elder]

will someone PLEASE sew this ass' lips shut?

[ArcLight]

Looks like a tear. I believe the practice began with certain criminal gangs in LA. Wonder if this twit knows?

[jriemer]

The Cult of the Viking Kitties wants to ZOT! the Human Shields SO BAD!

If it weren't just a FR thing...
