For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

To Burn U.S. Passport in Baghdad

Irish Citizen Burns U.S. Passport - Ex-U.S. Marine, Gulf War Veteran & Truth Justice Peace (TJP) Human Shield Iraq Founder to Burn U.S. Passport in Baghdad

When – 10 AM, January 7, 2003
Where – Firdos Square - Baghdad’s Infamous Saddam Statue Toppling site
Contact – universalkinship@yahoo.com (checked throughout the day)
Ken O'Keefe
Ken O'Keefe

Ken O’Keefe to read the following statement at Firdos Square;
“First of all I want smile and express my deepest love for my entire human family and our infinitely beautiful and irreplaceable home; planet Earth. What I do I do for truth not lies; for justice not tyranny, for peace not war, for love not hate.

"And now I shall let my personal venom flow and commit the following act of defiance in condemnation of the illegal invasion and ongoing occupation and mass murder of the Iraqi people by my birth nation of the United States. The burning of my passport is an exercise in the inherent human right of self determination in accordance with international law after having my U.S. passport returned to me twice by the U.S. Department of State. My personal act affirms once and for all the lawful and undeniable completion of my renunciation of U.S. citizenship that began on March 1, 2001. I AM NOT A UNITED STATES CITIZEN! I am a lawfully registered World citizen in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) with ultimate allegiance to my entire human family and to planet Earth.

“My act of defiance additionally affirms my solidarity with all colonised and oppressed peoples and specifically the Iraqi people; Iraqi people who collectively reject America’s occupation and the blatantly unrepresentative puppet government America intends to force on them. Iraqi people who like America’s Founding Fathers exercise their inherent and lawful right to resist occupation and tyranny; only in this case it is a united America and Britain that are the Imperial tyrants. Iraqi people who also peacefully demand their lawful right to true self determination which requires the end of U.S. presence and influence in Iraq’s internal affairs.

Let the entire world and especially America citizens acknowledge the following two hard facts;
1. There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq aside from those brought by the United States; which shamefully includes cluster bombs that litter this country now; this is a patent crime against humanity in itself
2. There is no threat now in Saddam Hussein for the American people

Therefore America must pull out of Iraq without delay. To not do so proves America to be the single greatest threat to the safety and security of our world and indeed the world’s number one terrorist.

“I state loud and clear, I am not anti-American, I am a true American and I call on all genuine American patriots to reject the orders of the Vietnam War deserter and Constitutional traitor George W. Bush and to remove this traitor from his undemocratic de facto post; impeach him at the least for his criminal negligence on September 11, 2001. As a former United States Marine and Gulf War veteran I call on my American brothers and sisters to put down their weapons and refuse service in Iraq. And lastly I state my love of the American people whether friend or foe and I call on them to support their troops for real; BRING AMERICA’S SONS AND DAUGHTERS HOME NOW!

“Power to the People!”

Ken Nichols O’Keefe – World citizen #321831 (www.worldservice.org)
(end of statement followed by passport burning and media questions)

Background - In what is a monumental irony Ken Nichols O’Keefe, the initiator or the Human Shield Action to Iraq that attracted the attention of world leaders and more importantly people around the globe, was forced under duress, to request a U.S. passport at the American Consulate in Rome on February 12, 2003. This request became necessary after the Turkish Government unlawfully deported of Mr. O’Keefe and thus prevented his peaceful transport through Turkey, on his way to Iraq to act as a Human Shield. Had Mr. O’Keefe not made his reluctant request he could have been denied the inherent right to travel to Iraq (UDHR – Article 13 sec. 2) stand with the Iraqi people in defiance of America’s subsequent invasion.

Mr. O’Keefe respectfully invites all Iraqi people to join him in his non-violent act of defiance and solidarity.

I note it costs 30$ registration to have my name appended to the list of those who accept:
willingly and consciously, declare themselves to be Citizens of the World. As a World Citizen, they affirm their planetary civic commitment to WORLD GOVERNMENT, founded on three universal principles of One Absolute Value, One World, and One Humanity which constitute the basis of World Law.

I think you've gone slightly nutty Ken.
Normally the only people I come accross who push one world gov. ideas are upset about the trilateral commision and believe in Aliens.
Do you?

Meanwhile on the other side of humanity The horde of notorious French ravers finally left this morning, there have been newspaper articles, tv specials and radio phone-ins. The mayor of the town has officially complained to the Minister of Yuff in Paris. They came a week ago with techno rigs and hoodies and began a really big party. But they didn't bring enough rubbish bags, or think about the neighbours. So: If you leave your state or country during holiday season in mass (there are rumours they numbered about 5000) to squat empty factories and monster rave, do try and be nice and more importantly "tidy up after". But I only met nice ones, sloppy big huggies to La Republikque...

That's interesting, Iosaf, I've been posting the occassional comment here using the name 'Earth Citizen', and I never paid 30$.
Wonder though why they have to pay in Dollars? and who collects the 30$? and what do they do in return for the 30$?

i had the "pleasure" of living on the north shore of oahu at the same time as this nut. he trully is quit distorted. my best friend worked for him( and also befriended him) while Ken and his Mother ripped him of for quit a bit of money in medical bills ( that kens dive shop should have covered, do to the injury happening while working together). he lived in the apartment above me when i witnessed his hypocricy at work as he got his second DUI in 2000 ( some humanitarian to put anothers life on the line by driving drunk). and he claims the Sovereign Hawaiian people where his "family. ask him about them all wanting to tear him apart in the haleiwa harbor. his life was threatened more then once for trying to have hawaiians jailed. or how about the time during the 2000 eddy big wave surf event at wiamaia bay, he not only put his life in danger but the life of 4 other people in the boat, and all the surfers in the water at the time in danger. if youve ever seen any waves during this event they are very deadly. but you fight ken. i guess they cant kick you out of Iraq like they kicked you off the greenpeace boat, huh?

Seems that the 'world passport' is basically useless, symbolic...honestly a 'one world government' is a daft idea anyway, you know it would be run by the loonies too....

Ken, you gotta get proof another country wants you to stay(y'know- residency or citizenship) before the US will let you go. That simple. They don't want to let you go 'stateless.' So do your paperwork and bide your time, and someday your symbolic gesture will be given meaning.... K?

Poor Ken, wanted in the USA for drunk driving and other traffic violations, he escaped to Europe. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
