1999 WASHINGTON, D.C. PROTESTS
AGAINST THE US-NATO
BOMBINGS OF YUGOSLAVIA
See Free Republic.Com protest vs Kosovo War
Even after he escaped Impeachment, President Clinton found
protesters
everywhere he went, including outside the White House. "Resign Rapist!"
was the message he kept hearing. Not to mention, "Treason is the
Reason" from Republicans who would like to try him for Treason for
allegedly
selling US nuclear secrets to the Chinese. Perhaps Clinton
decided
he'd rather go down in history as a war criminal than as a treasonous
rapist...and
so the bombing began...
Protesters were at the White House the first day of the bombings.
And protesters were not going to let Clinton forget impeachment
or the rape allegations.

The April 23rd "De-Nuke Nato" Rally was timed to protest NATO's

Anniversary party and celebration of massive bombing of Yugoslavia,
bombings
that only spurred Serbs to expel hundreds of thousands of Albanians
from
Kosovo--not that NATO will admit its own culpability.
Puppeteers from the Washington Action Group.
A delegation of Russian anti-nuclear scientists attended the
rally.
As a grand finale, rally participants destroyed NATO missiles.
Two versions of Ms. Liberty. The one on the bottom went to
her regular anti-Clinton Friday White House protest after this
rally--
only to be attacked by Albanian protesters who happened
to be there at the same time and thought she was a counter-protester.
The April 24th Serbian-American rally brought at least
8000 people to the White House to protest NATO's bombing of Serbia.
On Sunday, April 24th some protesters yelled and whistled loud
enough
for Clinton and his NATO cronies at lunch in the big tent to hear.
At a May 4, 1999 FreeRepublic.Com "Impeach Clinton Again" rally,
also protested war on Serbia.

June 26, 1999 HUMANITERRORISM IS NOT A VICTORY PARADE
75 of us marched from Dupont Circle to ABC News to the Washington
Post
to Bill Clinton's White House to denounce his assertion
the brutal, unnecessary and illegal bombing of Yugoslavia was a
"victory"--
killing men, women and children cause you don't like
their leader is just Humani-Terrorism!
To protest the Washington Post's support of Clinton's War
(shown on one cover comforting an Albanian woman,
one who would not have suffered but for the Clinton-promoted bombing)
Carol Moore burned her subscription form and urged others
to drop their subscriptions for at least a few months.
One man shares his strategy for peace...
THE PROBLEM is people's acceptance of state violence as a legitimate
way of organizing society, and the fact that unscrupulous individuals
always
will take advantage of such power.
THE SOLUTION is organizing society along principles of nonviolence and voluntarism, which would mean the end of militaries and large nation states.
For Carol Moore's article Non-Violence and Decentralization, click here. Argues that a society organized by principles of non-violence would result in the dissolution of large, militarized nation states and freedom for individuals and communities. Also see Secession.Net.
For Carol Moore's article Non-Violent Secessionist Strategies
which
describes non-violent secessionist
strategies for achieving a world of free, self-governing communities
and city states, click
