FOLLOW UP ON SEATTLE, PROPOSAL FOR STRATEGY
To save the planet, the strong momentum of the great historic victory in
Seattle is released in fullfilling of a series of major objectives based on
the decisive continuation and broadening of the coalition between workers,
farmers and NGOs:
1. ROLL BACK THE CORPORATIONS' OVER-NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS FOR OPPRESSION (WTO,
WB, IMF, UN SECURITY COUNCIL, NAFTA, EU, APEC, ETC.)
The disclosure in Seattle of the crimes of these organisations continues by
chasing the planners of the crimes against humanity and nature wherever they
meet.
To prevent the corporate mass media monopoly from belittling the
demonstrations, we should beforehand categorize them as big or small
demonstrations. And to make sure that the big demonstrations really
get big, they should be organized many months ahead, as was the case in
Seattle.
Possibly a vote on the Internet should decide which events should be defined
as small and which big, so that the backing of the respective events can be
foreseen.
After Seattle we may not even have to make threats in order to get the
attention of the media, only a hint that we might have to provoke the police
to become violent, if the media coverage is inadequate.
You can never tell.
Planned flexibility should be implied to cope with the expected upgradation
of the precautionary measures from the other side.
The principles of non-violent direct action as educated so systematically and
practiced so bravely in Seattle, http://www.reclaiming.org/starhawk/wto.html
should be the fundamental tactics in all cases.
The preparatory organizing should include raise of funds for support of
arrested protesters and victims of police brutality.
2. CREMATION OF THE VERY MOST CRIMINAL CORPORATIONS
The historic Cremation Monsanto campaign
http://www.igc.org/igc/en/hg/karnataka.html is carried through and extended
to others on the Top 10 List of excessively criminal organisations.
Just a few successful cremations will have a profound preventive effect on
other corporations, cf. http://www.globalexchange.org/economy/corporations/
At the same time as we break down the present evil system, we build up the
new A L T E R N A T I V E :
3. FUNDAMENTALLY NEW ECONOMIC SYSTEM
The present economy based on destruction of the natural resources is replaced
by the economic system that builds up the natural resources:
Global Resource Bank, belonging to all mankind, http://www.grb.net
owns the natural resources outside national jurisdiction, i.e. primarily in
the oceans.
The electronic global GRB credit based on and measuring the value of these
natural resources replaces the present destructive currencies based on the
gross national product including all kinds of activities such as
over-consumption, polution, transportation, destruction of
nature, wars, etc.
Furthermore, the mantenance fee paid to the bank on commercial accounts
depend on the ecological footprints of the respective enterprises,

4. THE UNITED PEOPLES' TAKE OVER OF THE CORPORATIONS
To the extent the above measures may not fullfill their objectives, the world
parliament of the united peoples takes over the ownership of rest of the
corporations, besides dealing with all less directly economic global
problems, see
