[van-discuss] world wide online demo

[joseph rabie]

Hallo!

The "Over My Dead Body" project is a world wide, online, virtual 
demonstration, politicising the major themes of globalisation and the 
economy, the environment, etc. The federating platform is the promotion 
of "the politics of generosity" to unblock the stranglehold of financial 
and nationalist self-interest upon the world's destiny. It is evident 
that the current war programmed against Iraq enters within a definition 
of corporate imperialism: thus protest against the war is currently at 
the top of the "Over My Dead Body" project's agenda.

People are invited to participate, and are represented symbolically in 
the demonstration by their name, place of residence, and if they so 
wish, photo, and virtual placard. Thus people from the four corners of 
the globe may march together, and in this way the demo is a powerful and 
active metaphor for fraternity. Take a moment to watch people pass by, 
seeing where they come from and what they say.

The site also contains a section called "The State of Things", which 
presents an evolving portrait of the world today. The "About" section 
contains the project Manifesto, and other information.


Also, here is the "Over My Dead Body" project newsletter with five 
antiwar posters. Be free to distribute widely!

I cordially invite you to come join the demo with us! Please make a link 
to the "Over My Dead Body" project. And forward this message to your 
family, your friends, your colleagues, your mailing list... The presence 
of each person is important: a trickle becomes a torrent that becomes a 
tidal wave, rolling for change.

Yours sincerely,

Joe Rabie.
