HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK ---------------------------Hi all,
it has come to my attention from inside sources that the Deputy Secratary of NATO, Bernard Goetz, as well as key members of Canada's "Atlantic Council" - the political arm of NATO in NATO countries - are coming to the University of Toronto (Trinity College) on October 23rd. If you are interested in organizing against this meeting, and to make NATO - the most aggressive and dangerous military alliance on the planet - know that it is not welcome on a student campus, please contact me ASAP to help with organizing for this event. Remember, in November there will be a NATO Summit in Prague, where east European activists are planning mass-actions and civil disobedience. An action here in Toronto targeting NATO elites would be a way of showing solidarity with the peoples who are about to be absorbed, or even attacked by this "old-boys club" of the world's most brutal colonial and imperialist powers.
NATO countries are currently either militarily intervening in, occupying, or sanctioning (sometimes all three) the following countries (these are only some examples I can come up with from the top of my head):
Afghanistan; Algeria; Bahrain; Bolivia; Bosnia; Colombia; (DR) Congo; Croatia; Cuba; East Timor; Ecuador; El Salvador; Georgia; India; Indonesia; Iran; Iraq; Ivory Coast; Kurdistan; Kuwait; Kyrgyzstan; Liberia; Lybia; (FYRO) Macedonia; Morocco; Nepal; North Korea; Pakistan; Palestine; Peru; Philipenes; Puerto Rico; Saudi Arabia; Sao Tome and Principe; Sierra Leone; Somalia; South Korea; Sudan; Syria; Uzbekistan; Venezuela; Western Sahara; Yemen; (FR) Yugoslavia; Zimbabwe, etc. (this list also doesn't fully include the list of all those countries with illegitimate puppet regimes imposed by the West).
Remember NATO disposes of the largest arsenal of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD); it also has the largest arsenal of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) weapons; it possesses the greatest number of foreign bases abroad; its forces outstrip any other country's or alliances; it has an agressive nuclear force posture; it is on the verge of sanctioning, yet again, the latest phase of Bush's genocidal and criminal "War on Terror" and much, much more....
It is imperative that we mobilize to show this aggressive alliance that it is NOT WELCOME IN TORONTO,
Solidarity,
Kole

Ladies and Gentlemen:
As Executive Director of the Atlantic Council of Canada, I would like to
formally invite you and your students to attend the Atlantic Council of
Canada's round table discussion that will be held at Trinity College,
University of Toronto on Wednesday October 23rd, 2002 from 4 to 6 pm. The
theme will address the forthcoming NATO Summit in Prague. The Prague Summit
will serve as a focal point for the world's most prominent foreign policy
experts and decision makers to discuss NATO expansion, the future of the
Alliance and the threats currently facing its members.
In the wake of September 11th and with the ongoing dialogue about Iraq, this
forum will provide your students with the ability to learn and interact with
the Deputy Secretary of NATO, Dr. Bernd Goetze.
I realize that your school's resources are at a premium, yet I am sure you
will agree that this important event would complement and enhance your
teaching curriculum, as well as introduce your students to contemporary
global issues which affect us as informed citizens of Canada.
There is no cost to attend this event, which will include refreshments. I
look forward to seeing you and your students at this exciting and
informative discussion. Seating is limited, and in order to assist us in
finalizing our arrangements, please indicate the number of people attending
no later than Friday October 18th 2002. To confirm your school's
reservation, please contact Andrew Legge, the conference organizer directly
at 1-416-979-1875, or via email at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
