Assyrian International News Agency To unsubscribe or set email news digest options, visit http://www.aina.org/mailinglist.html WASHINGTON -- Representing Christian Assyrians, activists, and faith-based leaders, Christians for Assyrians of Iraq (CAI) plan to demonstrate at the White House on December 4th, 2006, and call U.S. political leaders to "Stand for Iraq's Assyrians, and Save the Nineveh Plains." .....A handful of US funded and supported Assyrians will manipulate numerous other naive Assyrians into protesting for what they believe will be their long covetted homeland. Two of Washington's most respected activists against religious persecution, Nina Shea of Freedom House and the Center for Religious Freedom, and Father Keith Roderick of Christian Solidarity International, are CAI's featured speakers. ....Do you mean the same Nina Shea from the same "Freedom House" who is described by Noam Chomsky as, Along with its other political investments of the I970s and I980s, the corporate community sponsored the growth of institutions such as the American Legal Foundation, the Capital Legal Foundation, the Media Institute, the Center for Media and Public Affairs, and Accuracy in Media (AIM). These may be regarded as institutions organized for the specific purpose of producing flak. Another and older flak-producing machine with a broader design is Freedom House. CAI hopes this December rally will magnify the humanitarian crisis faced by Iraq's Assyrians (also known as Chaldeans and Syriacs) as they begin their 25-day period of fasting and prayer for the Christmas holiday. Recently, Assyrians worldwide were horrified to hear the news of: ...........More like CIA. Assyrians have been under the media radar during most of the occupation of Iraq. If they are to be now used as cannon fodder by the US to extend their mandate on Iraq and as a buffer sandwhiched between the Kurds and the estranged and incensed Sunnis then history will repeat itself. Assyrians will be called upon just like 1933 to be used to extend another occupier's mandate and control its vast oil reserves and subseuqently US hegemony. the alarming trend, reported by the United Nations, that although Assyrians comprise 5% of Iraq's population, they also comprise under 40% of the refugees fleeing Iraq (October 2005) the crucifixion-murder of a 14 year old Assyrian boy near Mosul (October 2006) the beheading of Father Paulis Iskander in Mosul (October 2006) the bombing of over 15 churches across Iraq, from Basra to Baghdad and from Mosul to Kirkuk (August 2004, January 2006, September 2006) the kidnapping and murder of 13 Assyrian Christian women in Baghdad (August 2006) CAI believes this humanitarian crisis may be reversed with the formation of an autonomous zone in Iraq for Assyrians and other Christians. This zone, called the Nineveh Plains Administrative Unit, will allow Assyrians and other Christians to practice their faith, speak and teach their language, and work their land without fear of persecution. ......The only crisis and flight from Iraq should be the illegal US occupiers. This Baker plan will gradually pull U.S. trooops out of Ramadi and eventually Baghdad where they will be scaled down and move into bases in the north of Iraq. From there they will possibly maintain a no-fly zone and protect the autonomous Kurdish and Christian enclave. Time is running out for Iraq's Christians. This Christmas season, CAI invites members of the media, political leaders, Assyrians from every background, and faith-based leaders to attend this demonstration. Show your solidarity with CAI and demand the world pay attention to Iraq's most vulnerable population. ......Time is running out for the Republicans. With the majority of American voters now awake they realise that they need to move quick to establish a pretext for maintaining their grip on Iraq all the while of course promising withdrawal.
