Call to Solidarity
All of US
The Summit of the Americas purpose is to expand & promote the Free Trade Area of the Americas. The conference is going to be held in Quebec City & St. Foy. We at IFF believe the "evil empire" aka NWO is moving against All of US throughout the world.
Consequently, our northern neighbors face many of the same problems that we do! Read the following article & see how our friends to the north feel & are handling the problem.
We are not alone! We are making friends world wide. Wear a scarf to show support & solidarity on April 2nd!
How is it possible for 30+ Western Hemisphere governments to plan to negotiate in secret? As I stated during the election we as Americas had no real choice - we were either bush whacked or gored! Never forget that Gore cast the deciding vote in the Senate for NAFTA & it was on the fast track. Take heed, Bush has already asked for fast track to ratify this treaty as well!
This is incredible, intolerable & so all stand together & say NO MORE secrets & lies Mr. President!

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, & pursued unalterably through every change on (administrations), too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing US to slavery." Thomas Jefferson
You will know your enemy by their action or lack of action!
It is better to die on your feet as a freeman, than to live your life on your knees as a slave!
We don't have money, we don't own our property, our vote does not count, there is no law, order or justice & they mean to kill US.
Please read & pass along!
Wake up America before there is a wake for America!

A Call to Solidarity with
Citizens of Quebec City & St. Foy:
Wearing the ScarfStand up to creeping police state tactics in Canada!
A Simple Plan for Solidarity & Action to:
* Support the Citizens of St.-Foe & Quebec City &
* To signal to the Federal Government which is CO-ordination the "New Iron Curtain" & police state measures in Quebec City to protect the corporate driven Summit of the Americas Meeting on the Free Trade Area of the Americas.
Greetings All!
What is the situation?
By now you have heard that the City Councils of Saint-Foy & Quebec City have passed by-laws prohibiting the wearing of scarves to cover a part or a whole of the face, not only during the demonstrations planned in Quebec City for the Summit of the Americas to promote the Free Trade Area of the Americas, BUT ALSO IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE EVENT!
People are subject to fines &/or a jail sentence.
The intent is to:
*Make it easy for the security forces to spray tear gas directly into the face, mouth & nose.
*Make it easy for the security forces to photograph people who attend in Quebec City so that they can be entered into the security files of the rapidly expanding security system supposedly focused on "terrorism."
*Build a climate of fear & inhibition in citizens to stop people from expressing their constitutional rights to peacefully assemble & petition the government.
Several weeks ago, several students were arrested & taken to jail, temporarily, in Quebec City for distributing pamphlets on a public sidewalk without a permit!
We all also know that during the Summit of the Americas, the 'authorities' are closing off a 3 square kilometer area of the inner old city of Quebec with 2 to 3 meter high chain link fences set in concrete highway dividers. This is to keep the heads of state & the 'corporate' contingent safe from the assembly & petition of citizens. All those living inside the "New Iron Curtain" must have police passes to come & go to their own homes or businesses!
The erosion of civil liberties piling up in Quebec City is driven by the Federal Government, the same Federal Government which signaled to the RCMP to pepper spray students in British Columbia several years ago to prevent 'embarrassment to the criminal & genocidal leader of Indonesia, President Sukharno, now 'retired.'
Do we stand for democracy & constitutional rights or for the creep-in of corporate driven, neo-liberal authoritarianism, which now has too many governments in a puppet posture?
*What is the action?
The Ottawa Chapter of the Council of Canadians formed an action group Wednesday night to develop a democratic, non-violent & overwhelming response to this erosion of democracy. The concept of the action is based on one of the most successful civil, non-violent direct actions in modern history. In Denmark, during the NAZI occupation, the order was sent to round up Jews on a given date for 'transport.' They were ordered to wear a yellow Star of David.
The whole Danish people in Copenhagen & elsewhere, including the King, donned yellow stars & appeared in public thus stopping the NAZI action. The NAZIS dared not deport a whole nation!
We can do something similar.
The Action is "A Scarf Wearing Call-out on April 2:
The call is for those who can to hold vigils & marches before Federal Government buildings ACROSS CANADA starting early in the morning on April 2 & continue all day. WEAR A SCARF AROUND THE FACE! Mount placards & pamphlets of your own making! Call the media! Call your municipal, provincial & federal representatives & protest the erosion of democracy. Stand in solidarity with the citizens of Quebec City & St.-Foy who will be otherwise left to the decisions of the security forces!
Hold similar vigils & marches before your municipal & provincial houses!
Ottawa citizens, go to Parliament Hill with your scarves around your faces! Ottawa citizens going to the April 2 FTAA demonstration in Ottawa in front of the Lester B. Pearson Building, wear your scarves around your faces!
Go to work wearing a scarf around the face. Tell your colleagues to come with a scarf on the bus, in the car, & going home also. Tell the story of how democracy is being hollowed out by our corporate serving government.
Students, bring out your scarves on April 2! Wear them at every opportunity!
All people, everywhere, wear scarves on April 2!
Members of Municipal Councils, Provincial Legislators & Members of Parliament, those of you who stand for the freedoms guaranteed by the constitution & the spirit of democracy, hold noon-hour vigils in front of your legislative chambers, join the forces of Democracy!
*Why April 2?
Because a cross country effort will amplify, immensely, a big action in Ottawa which opposes secrecy & the creep-in of anti-democratic government practices, like scarf bans, in support of the corporate agenda.
There will be a demonstration in front of the Lester B Pearson Building in Ottawa starting the morning of April 2 to demand the release of the secret government position on the FTAA. This building houses the Department of Foreign Affairs & International Trade (DFAIT) which is currently in charge of hosting the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City. DFAIT'S policy is to negotiate, in secret, the issues of the Free Trade of the Americas, which will effect every man, woman & child in Canada & the Hemisphere.
For months, the forces for democracy & social justice have been calling upon the corporate serving Federal Government to reveal their secret position in the Free Trade of the Americas negotiations in Quebec City.
This is the same Government which lied for several years about being in negotiations on the Multilateral Agreement on Investment, denying the existence of such a scheme which was to be extended to over 25 countries. This was an agreement, which would have given corporations supremacy over the people by allowing corporations to sue foreign governments in a secret private tribunal & force the countries' citizens to pay the damages. The Government was forced to confess when a 'whistle blower' sent the text of the MAI to democratic forces, who then mounted a successful offensive against this step into corporate tyranny.
This power to sue in secret already exists over Canadians because of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Canada has already been successfully sued & we citizens are paying the award to Ethyl Corporation in the USA.
The Free Trade Agreement seeks to extend NAFTA & the MAI concept to the entire Western Hemisphere!
The Federal Govt. told parliament about one week ago that neither the parliament nor the people had the right to know the Government position on health care, education & a host of other services. Superseding the rights of Parliament & the Citizens was the 'Governments loyalty to 33 other Western Hemisphere governments to negotiate in secret.'
If you support this democratic, non-violent 'Scarf wearing call-out,' please pass this message on to everyone who might be interested.
Express solidarity with the citizens of Quebec City & St.-Foy!
Express rejection of secret negotiations, which will further subordinate Canada to authoritarian corporate rule!
Thanks for reading & thinking about this message.
