FOLLOW
UP ON SEATTLE, PROPOSAL FOR STRATEGY To save the
planet, the strong momentum of the great historic victory in Seattle
is released in fullfilling of a series of major objectives based
on the decisive continuation and broadening of the coalition between
workers, farmers and NGOs: 1. ROLL BACK THE CORPORATIONS'
OVER-NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS FOR OPPRESSION (WTO, WB, IMF, UN SECURITY
COUNCIL, NAFTA, EU, APEC, ETC.) The disclosure in Seattle
of the crimes of these organisations continues by chasing the planners
of the crimes against humanity and nature wherever they meet. To
prevent the corporate mass media monopoly from belittling the demonstrations,
we should beforehand categorize them as big or small demonstrations.
And to make sure that the big demonstrations really get big, they
should be organized many months ahead, as was the case in Seattle.
Possibly a vote on the Internet should decide which events should
be defined as small and which big, so that the backing of the respective
events can be foreseen. After Seattle we may not even have to make
threats in order to get the attention of the media, only a hint
that we might have to provoke the police to become violent, if the
media coverage is inadequate. You can never tell. Planned flexibility
should be implied to cope with the expected upgradation of the precautionary
measures from the other side. The principles of non-violent direct
action as educated so systematically and practiced so bravely in
Seattle, http://www.reclaiming.org/starhawk/wto.html
should be the fundamental tactics in all cases. The preparatory
organizing should include raise of funds for support of arrested
protesters and victims of police brutality. 2. CREMATION
OF THE VERY MOST CRIMINAL CORPORATIONS The historic Cremation
Monsanto campaign http://www.igc.org/igc/en/hg/karnataka.html
is carried through and extended to others on the Top 10 List of
excessively criminal organisations. Just a few successful cremations
will have a profound preventive effect on other corporations, cf.
http://www.globalexchange.org/economy/corporations/
At the same time as we break down the present evil system, we build
up the new A L T E R N A T I V E 3. FUNDAMENTALLY NEW ECONOMIC
SYSTEM The present economy based on destruction of the
natural resources is replaced by the economic system that builds
up the natural resources: Global Resource Bank, belonging to all
mankind, http://www.grb.net owns
the natural resources outside national jurisdiction, i.e. primarily
in the oceans. The electronic global GRB credit based on and measuring
the value of these natural resources replaces the present destructive
currencies based on the gross national product including all kinds
of activities such as over-consumption, polution, transportation,
destruction of nature, wars, etc. Furthermore, the mantenance fee
paid to the bank on commercial accounts depend on the ecological
footprints of the respective enterprises, http://www.grb.net
4. THE UNITED PEOPLES' TAKE OVER OF THE CORPORATIONS
To the extent the above measures may not fullfill their objectives,
the world parliament of the united peoples takes over the ownership
of rest of the corporations, besides dealing with all less directly
economic global problems, see http://www.unitedpeoples.net
