This is Tahrir Square in Cairo. Perhaps, one day, it will look like a AAEM rally!
Friends, when I first mooted the idea of the Anti-American Empire Movement (AAEM) I was just reacting to the disgust I felt for what was happening in the world because of the negative influence of American imperialism and immoral warmongering (things like torture, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, rendition, support for brutal dictators, invasions and occupation, etc).
So I wrote the post “Join The Anti-American Empire Movement!” more as a way to express my frustration. I never really thought it would amount to anything. To my surprise people reacted positively.
I then followed that up with “A Draft Charter for the Anti-American Empire Movement.“ In writing down the things I felt the movement should concern itself with, the many ideas I had seemed to come together. Subsequently, I’ve had many comments of support as well as ideas, all of which have been gratefully received to say nothing of the 16 members we have attracted thus far.
Since then I have revised the charter several times and it is included at the end of this post for your consideration. It is written in a Charter-type font to add to its seriousness. Please read it carefully and let me know if it truly reflects what you would like to see happen as the Movement grows.
Obviously the Movement is an exercise in People Power. It can only work if each person who joins is motivated to help change the world by helping to get rid of those promoting and supporting the corrupt American Empire. MOTIVATION has to equal EFFORT if we are to have any real effect.
