British soldier to be killed in Iraq. This will take place on WEDNESDAY 1st
FEBRUARY 2006 AT 6.p.m. on the steps of ST. GOERGES HALL LIVERPOOL This event is being organised by the Merseyside Stop the War Coalition.
Merseyside TUC urges all trade unions and local Trade Union Councils to attend and bring their banners to show to the public the Trade Union Movement's condemnation of the illegal war in Iraq and their sympathy for the 100 families of those British soldiers killed in Iraq.
The President of Merseyside TUC Alec McFadden said,
"This is another human tragedy, the 100th British family to have their son killed in this illegal war. Tony Blair certainly has the blood of 100 British soldiers on his hands, together with thousands of Iraqi children, women and men, needlessly killed. The British Prime Minister took us to war two years ago, based on false information, that Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction" - and 45 minutes to launch them. These claims were all found to be untrue, but still every day Iraqi people are killed, and now the 100th
British family will be grieving over the death of their son. Is it not time that the man who lied to the British Parliament and the people to get support for the war on Iraq to now resign".
Three years ago 2,000,000 people marched in London in opposition to the then proposed war in Iraq and one of the largest delegations was from Merseyside with trains full of scousers taking part, many of whom will attend this vigil

How to apply MORAL INVERSION to a population
02.02.2006 13:54
Alec McFadden, one of Blair's covert annointed ones, instructs the working men and women of Liverpool to honour those that have fallen in the name of Blair's AGGRESSIVE WAR in Iraq.
Yes, i can kind of see how this might make sense to you. Take the worst crime Humans can be involved in. Consider those that, of their own free will, have chosen to actively participate in that crime. Now state how terrible it is that they have lost their lives in the pursuit of this crime. I mean, what could make greater moral sense?
Sarcasm aside, what you are seeing played out is the well understood concept of MORAL INVERSION. Basically, take a person with a particular moral understanding. Confront them with an unbearable situation where they have to EITHER uphold the moral principle OR show loyaly to someone who is very close and is responsible for seriously breaking this principle. Under this situation, MORAL INVERSION often takes place, where loyalty wins out, and the person now actual believes in the VERY OPPOSITE of the original moral principle, in order to maintain a constant sanity.
Wars of all type are dependent on persuading enough of the population to undergo MORAL INVERSION. The mechanism of this is simple, and universal. Take the kids. Turn as many of them as possible into rapists, torturers, and murderers. Now dare the parents to condemn their own kids. Bingo- one Warlord with a Morally Inverted population dedicated to pushing forward with his perverted plans so fast that no-one has the time to go mad thinking about the moral crimes they are supporting.
How did that Rwanda thing work? Or Nazi Germany? Or the Serbs? Don't fret... as Blair's people have more and more success with their HONOURING OF THE FALLEN, you are going to have first hand experience of 'moral inversion' and playing the role of the Nazi !

Conscript

SEND YOUR SONS, BLAIR.
Blair is only sorry for the political damage to himself resulting from the 100th Brit soldier killed in Iraq.
Lets have conscription for all the sons of the politicians who voted to send the Army to War.
Better than hiding would be a campaign to protect Prince Harry from the evil machinations of Blair and his fascist fellow travellers who are quite up to organising a gruesome death to rouse strong emotions they can manipulate to gain themselves voter credibility.
Should Politicaisn be allowed to use our ancient monuments in this way?
