Security Without Empire: National Organizing Conference on Foreign Military Bases

Security Without Empire:

National Organizing Conference on Foreign Military Bases

American University,

Washington, D.C.

Feb. 27-Mar. 2, 2009

Join Us at the Security Without Empire Conference

There is a sense of relief that many here in the U.S. feel after the presidential election, but we understand this is a time to step up our organizing for peace and economic justice—including the growing movement to close and withdraw the nearly 1,000 U.S. military bases located in foreign nations.

From Okinawa and Guam to Honduras, Germany, Iraq, and beyond people who have suffered from the abuses inherent to foreign military bases have been calling for their withdrawal. People in the U.S. have joined this call, outraged by the damage done by U.S. bases abroad and by their expense, which diverts $138 billion a year from addressing human needs and revitalizing our economy.

Representatives of 15 organizations have come together to organize a national conference for the closing and withdrawal of military bases. The goals of the conference are:

• Share information about U.S. foreign military bases and resistance;

• Develop new strategies and expand the U.S. anti-bases movement;

• Integrate anti-bases organizing into a more coherent movement;

• Raise the visibility of the U.S. and international anti-bases movements;

• Apply pressure on Congress;

• Close and reduce the number of foreign bases.

The conference will feature base opponents from many “host” nations and will include leading activists as keynote speakers, panelists and workshop facilitators.

Monday, March 2, will be a lobbying day on Capitol Hill, in which we encourage as many conference attendees as possible to participate. We’ll provide talking points and group leaders.

Action Alert to Oppose nomination of Adm. Blair to top Intelligence post

ETAN Action ALERT

Urge Your Senators to Oppose the nomination of former Adm. Dennis Blair

Tell Your Senator: Nation’s Top Intelligence Post Must Go to Someone Who Respects Human Rights – Not Admiral Blair!

Call your Senators and tell them that you oppose the confirmation of Admiral Dennis Blair as President Obama’s Director of National Intelligence. Call today toll free at 800-828-0498/800-473-6711 and e-mail them via the Senate website ( http://senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm).

Talking Points

Adm. Blair has a poor human rights record. As head of the Pacific Command, he demonstrated a disregard for crimes against humanity committed against the East Timorese in 1999 and undermined executive and congressional efforts to support human rights in Indonesian-occupied East Timor.

The Senator should oppose Adm. Blair’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence. The post must go to someone who respects human rights and is committed to justice and accountability.

Please let us know if you acted on this alert and any response you receive. Also contact us with any questions – etan@etan.org.

Write a letter to the editor of you local newspapers. See sample letters at http://www.etan.org/action/2006/29alert.htm#Sample .

Background

The Director of National Intelligence coordinates all U.S. intelligence agencies. The post requires Senate confirmation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Pacific Command from February 1999 to May 2002, Admiral Dennis Blair was the highest ranking U.S. military official in the region during the period of East Timor’s independence referendum at the end of Indonesia’s violent occupation. During that time he undermined the Clinton administration’s belated efforts to support human rights and self-determination in the Indonesian-occupied territory and opposed congressional efforts to limit military assistance. Blair’s troubling record on East Timor demonstrates that he puts maintaining a relationship with the worst human rights violators above justice and accountability.

In early April 1999, Blair met in Jakarta with General Wiranto, then the Defense Minister and the commander of Indonesian forces. Dozens of refugees in a Catholic church in Liquica, East Timor, were hacked to death by militia members backed by the Indonesian military (including the notorious Kopassus Special Forces) just two days before in a well-publicized massacre.

Instead of pressuring Wiranto to shut down the militias, Blair promised new military assistance, which the Indonesian military “took as a green light to proceed with the militia operation,” according to Allan Nairn, writing in the Nation magazine. In fact just weeks later on April 17, refugees from the attack in Liquicia were again attacked and killed in the capital Dili. The next day, Blair phoned Wiranto and again failed to tell him to stop the killing and shut the military’s militia proxies down.

According to journalist Nairn, classified cables summarizing the meeting and the call, say that Admiral Blair “told the armed forces chief that he looks forward to the time when [the army will] resume its proper role as a leader in the region. He invited General Wiranto to come to Hawaii as his guest… [Blair] expects that approval will be granted to send a small team to provide technical assistance to… selected TNI [Indonesian military] personnel on crowd control measures.”

The link between the militia and the military was clear to the U.S. at the time. Princeton University’s Bradley Simpson writes, “According to top secret CIA intelligence summary issued after the [Liquica] massacre…. (and recently declassified by the author through a Freedom of Information Act request), ‘Indonesian military had colluded with pro-Jakarta militia forces in events preceding the attack and were present in some numbers at the time of the killings.'”

The Washington Post’s Dana Priest reported that in the bloody aftermath of East Timor’s independence vote, , “Blair and other U.S. military officials took a forgiving view of the violence surrounding the referendum in East Timor. Given the country’s history, they argued, it could have been worse.”

U.S.-trained Indonesian military officers were among those involved in crimes against humanity in East Timor. “But at no point, Blair acknowledges, did he or his subordinates reach out to the Indonesian contacts trained through IMET or JCET [U.S.-funded military training programs] to try to stop the brewing crisis,” wrote Priest. “It is fairly rare that the personal relations made through an IMET course can come into play in resolving a future crisis,” Blair told Priest.

General Wiranto was indicted in February 2003 by a UN-backed court in East Timor for his command role in the 1999 violence. The attack on the Liquica church is among the crimes against humanity cited in the indictment. He is currently a leading candidate for President of Indonesia in elections to take place next year.

March and Rally to Protect Hawaiian Lands!

On the 116th anniversary of the illegal U.S. overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Hawaiian groups have united to protest the state’s attempts to sell the stolen Hawaiian Government and Crown Lands (what is erroneously referred to as “ceded” lands). Below is the official announcement from the planning committee. This march and rally should NOT be misconstrued as supporting federal recognition and a final settlement of claims. The Hawaiian sovereignty movement has OPPOSED any legislation that would result in a termination of claims and greater federal bondage.

FREE HAWAI’I! END THE OCCUPATION!

***
Ku I Ka Pono March
Protect Hawaiian Lands

Saturday, January 17, 2009

March starts at 10am from Saratoga/Kalakaua & ends at Kapi‘olani Park

Rally starts at 11:30am at Kapi’olani Park.

Wear your red t-shirts.
Withdraw the Appeal

OPPOSE the Lingle Administration’s attempt to sell off Hawaiian lands. Hawai‘i Attorney General Mark Bennett issued an APPEAL to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a previous State Supreme Court decision that banned the state from selling or transferring ceded lands until Native Hawaiian claims against the government were “settled.” This decision was based on Hawai’i State law and the 1993 Apology Resolution which recognizes that Native Hawaiians have unrelinquished claims to ceded lands. The Lingle administration now asserts that Native Hawaiians have “no claim” to the ceded lands. Lingle’s contempt for Native Hawaiian people, culture and history cannot go unanswered. In recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has produced legal decisions that have been anti-Native resulting in policy changes that continue to hurt Native peoples, their lands, rights and culture. Lingle must WITHDRAW THE APPEAL.

Call for Hawaiian Constitutional Convention

http://www.lahainanews.com/story.aspx?id=9867

The Lahaina News
Thursday, January 08, 2009 11:33 AM

Facing major challenges, Hawaiians call for Constitutional Convention

BY LOUISE ROCKETT

LAHAINA – E Onipaa Kakou (Let us all be steadfast).

These simple but powerful words of the proud and
wise last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Queen
Liliuokalani, echo through the years, calling to
her people today.

Saturday, Jan. 17, is the 116th anniversary of
the illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii,
and Na Kupuna O Maui is commemorating the
occasion with a petition drive for a Hawaiian
Constitutional Convention, educational outreach
and concert at Lahaina Civic Center.

“It’s also a day for the people to come together,
and our theme is E Onipaa Kakou,” said West Sider
Jon Kinimaka, kako’o (helper) for Na Kupuna O
Maui.

“We are trying through the commemoration; we are
trying to fulfill the Queen’s words,” he added.

Concert headliners are Na Hoku Hanohano and
Grammy Award winners George Kahumoku Jr. and
Richard Ho’opi’i – definite draws to the event.

But the focus of the fund-raiser is the petition
for a Hawaiian Constitutional Convention, “a
free, fair and impartial political process,” the
Kupuna announcement reads.

“Na Kupuna O Maui thinks the most appropriate way
to commemorate this event is to unite our
Hawaiian people together with an Hawaiian
Constitutional Convention,” explained Aunty Patty
Nishiyama, spokesperson for the group of elders.

Kinimaka agrees. “I know that this is what our
Queen wanted to do. Within days up to the illegal
overthrow, she was going to have a Hawaiian
Constitutional Convention, and she wanted
petitions from all parts of the kingdom. I
remember reading about that, and it never got to
happen.”

“The Hawaiian community is looking for answers
and looking for solutions and trying to make what
was wrong right,” he continued.

“The thing is, that I feel that this process will
give everyone a chance to move forward. There has
been a lot of hard work, and we want to make sure
that everybody has a chance to bring their mana’o
to the table. There are a lot of sovereignty
organizations out there that have been striving
for many years and have put a lot of work into
having a government. We have more than one
government out there. We want to bring them
together.

“How can you argue against a fair process? You
can’t. I look at this as a way for the many
different sovereignty organizations to continue
moving forward by bringing everyone to the
Hawaiian Constitutional Convention table,”
Kinimaka said.

Na Kupuna advisor and longtime advocate for an
independent Hawaiian nation, Pu’uhonua Dennis
“Bumpy” Kanahele, considers the timing for a
constitutional convention perfect, if not
essential.

The Apology Resolution, Public Law 103-150,
passed through the 103rd Congress and was signed
into law by President Clinton on Nov. 23, 1993.
It acknowledged and apologized, on behalf of the
United States government, for the illegal
overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii on Jan. 17,
1893.

On Jan. 31, 2008, a Hawaii Supreme Court
injunction barred the State of Hawaii from
selling, exchanging or transferring ceded lands.

“Because of the lack of ownership, because the
state doesn’t have any title over our lands, over
our situation, that’s how strong our claim is.
When they lost in the Hawaii State Supreme Court,
they went to the U.S. Supreme Court and filed a
writ, a Writ of Certiorari? they (the state) want
to know whether they can sell the ceded lands or
not. They going to the ultimate right now,”
Kanahele cautioned.

“Because of all these rulings coming out, that
means there is a big issue regarding Native
Hawaiian claims. When you look at it, the Apology
Bill, the Hawaiian State Supreme Court ruling,
then they file a writ to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Based on those actions, it’s coming to closure,
with or without us; that’s the dangerous part,”
he doubly warned.

“You can tell that the moment is clearly here
right in the front of our faces. That’s what the
registration of Kau Inoa is all about. That’s
what the Akaka Bill is all about.”

He urged “the people” to attend the commemoration
and sign the petition for the free, fair and
political Native Hawaiian caucus.

“The whole purpose of the constitutional
convention is to finally, once and for all,
address the issues facing Native Hawaiians. We
got some real, real deep, deep issues that need
to be addressed by our people and not be
representatives or misrepresentatives of our
people. This is the purpose of the
constitutional convention – to have all our
people in a forum, which we believe is the
constitutional convention, in a forum to debate
and discuss all the political, economic and
cultural conditions and opportunities and
situations that we’re in right now.

“Signing the petition, getting people more
involved, educating each other, our families.
Everybody needs to know this. Every Hawaiian has
an interest in what is going on; they need to
know that,” Kanahele stressed.

Nishiyama said time is of the essence.

“With this convention, it is going to protect the
future generations of our grandchildren forever
and ever. The governor (Linda Lingle) right now
wants to settle. They are working with OHA
(Office of Hawaiian Affairs) to settle. If we
settle, that’s it. We have nothing for the future
generations of our grandchildren if we settle,
because money will only be for a short time. It
is not going to be for ten generations down the
road. It is just going to feed us, make us happy
a couple of years and that’s it. After that, we
have no legacy for our grandchildren. The land is
the legacy,” she commented.

Gates open at 8:30 a.m.; protocol begins at 9 a.m.

Pre-sale tickets cost $10, and admission at the
gate is $15. Children under ten are free.

Tickets are available at Lahaina Music in West
Maui Center, Bounty Music in Kahului on Hana
Highway, or by calling 205-1034.

The event, open to the public, will feature a
silent auction, Hawaiian food and lots of
entertainment, including the Kahaialii ‘Ohana,
Kekona ‘Ohana, Mele Pono, Dezman, Zacc Kekona,
Unifiers and Hewahewa.

“We’re going to have people there who can educate
us on the water rights. We are going to bring
awareness about different types of Hawaiian
rights and educational scholarship opportunities
for our Native Hawaiians,” Kinimaka noted.

“We also invite our non-Hawaiian supporters to
join us and sign the petition as well,” Nishiyama
said.

Army continues to bomb Pohakuloa despite Council moratorium

PTA live fire continues despite council

DU results pending

by Jim Quirk
West Hawaii Today
jquirk@westhawaiitoday.com

Wednesday, December 31, 2008 9:01 AM HST

HILO — Testing on depleted uranium levels at Pohakuloa Training Area is completed, and although the results will be unavailable until spring, the U.S. Army continues live fire exercises at PTA.

The Hawaii County Council last spring and summer debated Puna Councilwoman Emily Naeole’s resolution requesting the military halt live fire training exercises at PTA until it was determined if depleted uranium was there.

The resolution, however, did not carry the weight of law. It had no effect on military training at PTA, said Howard Sugai, public affairs officer with the military Installation Management Command.

“The Army could not jeopardize training and preparedness of soldiers,” he said.

Some of the radioactive material was discovered at PTA in 2006, and it was later determined it came from spotting rounds fired from Davy Crockett weapons systems in the 1960s.

Sugai said PTA played an essential part, as members of the Hawaii National Guard recently trained there to prepare for their deployment to Kuwait.

However, no training is taking place near areas suspected of containing depleted uranium, he said.

The nearest training to suspect areas is 3.1 miles away, Sugai said, adding only dummy bombs made of concrete are being used.

Sugai stressed “there is no imminent danger to any soldier training there or to residents in adjacent communities.”

He said the Army conducted a survey of the area where depleted uranium may exist in November and early December, but even that was accomplished in a way that did not require military personnel to walk or drive into the potentially affected area.

Technologically advanced survey equipment was carried via helicopter to areas possibly contaminated with depleted uranium, Sugai said.

Some council members and residents feared that some of the military exercises could help stir up any depleted uranium at PTA and contaminate the air.

Most people who testified on the resolution said they favored it, and the council approved it July 3.

Connecticut company Cabrera Services, which is “regarded as industry experts in remediation of radiation and other radioactive materials,” conducted testing, Sugai said.

Sugai said he and Army Col. Howard Killian anticipate attending a council meeting sometime in February to provide a further update on the depleted uranium survey.

Hawai’i groups speak out against Israel’s attacks on Gaza

Today, the National Day of Action to support the people of Palestine there were demonstrations around the world expressing outrage at Israel’s attacks on Gaza, Palestine.  This afternoon at the Federal Building in Honolulu, more than a hundred people stretched out on Ala Moana Blvd to support the Palestinian peoples’ right to peace and self-determination and to denounce Israel’s murderous bombing of Gaza.  There were many from Hawai’i’s Palestinian and Muslim communities at the demonstration.  The demonstration was called by World Can’t Wait and Friends of Sabeel Hawai’i.  Chant’s included “Let Gaza Live!” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free!”  Earlier  in the day, a smaller group including Ann Wright and Carolyn Hadfield went to visit President-Elect Obama in Kailua to deliver a message about Palestine.  Of course, they were stopped by secret service, but they were a visible presence when Obama’s motorcade passed.  Below is story from Reuters.  Ann Wright got a call this afternoon from a friend in America who said that the demonstration in Kailua was covered on CNN.

Pro-Palestinian Protesters at Obama’s Hawaii House

KAILUA, Hawaii – A small group of placard-waving pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered near U.S. President-elect Barack Obama’s vacation retreat in Hawaii on Tuesday to protest against the Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.
Obama has made no public comment on the strikes, which Israel launched on Saturday. Aides have repeatedly said he is monitoring the situation and continues to receive intelligence briefings but that there is only one U.S. president at a time.

Some critics, however, say Obama did choose to speak out after the attacks on the Indian city of Mumbai in November in which gunmen killed nearly 180 people, condemning them as acts of terrorism.

Obama, who takes office on January 20 from outgoing Republican President George W. Bush, has also spoken out on economic issues facing the United States.

“He is talking about how many jobs he is going to create but he is refusing to speak about this,” said one of the protesters, Carolyn Hadfield, 66.

Hadfield was one of eight protesters standing with placards reading “No U.S. support for Israel” and “Gazans need food and medicine, not war” near Obama’s rented vacation home in Kailua, an upmarket suburb on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where Obama is in the second week of a vacation with his family.

Obama had not left the compound on Tuesday morning and did not see the protest.

Obama has in the past called Israel one of the United States’ greatest allies and has vowed to ensure the security of the Jewish state.

He has also said he would make a sustained push to achieve the goal of two states — a Jewish state in Israel and a Palestinian state.

Israel on Tuesday pressed on with air strikes in Gaza that it says are in response to rocket fire by Hamas militants deep inside the Jewish state. Medical officials put Palestinian casualties at 383 dead and more than 800 wounded.

The Bush administration has so far backed Israel’s actions in Gaza and demanded the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas stop firing rockets into Israel and agree to a lasting ceasefire.

“We are very upset with what is going in Palestine. There is a very great need for change in U.S. foreign policy toward Israel and Palestine. We need to stop giving Israel a blank check,” said another protester, Margaret Brown, 66.

The protesters were rebuffed when they tried to hand a letter signed by dozens of U.S. activist groups to a Secret Service agent guarding the access road to Obama’s beachfront compound.

Friends,

DEMONSTRATION TO PROTEST BOMBING AND SIEGE OF GAZA
TUES, DEC 30, 4-6PM, PRINCE KUHIO FEDERAL BUILDING (ALONG ALA MOANA BLVD., NEAR EWA END

We’re finally getting something organized for Tues, Dec 30, as part of a national and international day of protest against the recent bombings of Gaza, which have resulted in the highest loss of life since 1967. We will also be protesting the brutal and continuing siege of Gaza.

The Demonstration will take place at the Prince Kuhio Federal Building on the corner of Punchbowl and Ala Moana. We will stand on the sidewalk along Ala Moana Blvd. toward the Ewa end of the building.

The choice of the Federal Building is to highlight the Federal dollars (courtesy of our taxes) which are bankrolling this carnage and the American made F-16’s and Apaches that are inflicting it.

Bring signs urging international intervention to prevent further loss of life, to end the siege of Gaza, to work for a just and lasting peace, to urge a moratorium on aid to Israel until it stops the bombing and lifts the siege.
