Today in Labor History January 25, 2003: Fifty activists left London for Baghdad to serve as human shields. They intended to stop the U.S.-led coalition troops from bombing civilians. Kenneth O'Keefe, an ex-U.S. marine and Persian Gulf War veteran led the action. They called it the TJP (Truth Justice Peace) Human Shield Action to Iraq. He believed that thousands of human shields would make the invasion politically impossible. However, Saddam Hussein deported him several days before the invasion. And they never came close to attracting thousands of volunteers. At best, no more than 500 human shields made it to Iraq before the March invasion. None of the human shields died in the war. And the coalition forces did not destroy any of the sites where they were staying.

@stevesilberman That's a beautiful juxtapostion. It reminds me of an experience I had: after the terror attacks in Paris in November 2015, I wrote a poem, "Bataclan", that I posted on Facebook. Then I set it to music. I didn't know that my friend Roli Frei was setting it to music at the same time. Here are the two versions:

Human Shields (my band); https://humanshields.bandcamp.com/track/bataclan

Video exists of what seems #Ukraine soldiers holding 20 #hostage as #humanShields. The hostages in room lay on floor, filling the floorspace. They are face down with their hands behind their heads, while one of the 3 guards lazily (and off key) plays the terminator theme on piano, other hand holding gun.

Another shows a woman naked, face painted green(?), having one side of swollen scalp set aflame, blood pours down body, while talks to torturer, sniffles :'(

@Zyra
If this is true, we will be truely disgusted. We are waiting on confirmation.

It will also explain a few things.

There are things we can learn about the DMZ between North and South Korea, too

🔹 there were no airstrikes
🔹 A cameraman was on-site on March 9

We tell kids they're gonna die at any moment, we use kids to tell us we're all gonna die THEN we're told not to have kids, because either the world is too f#@ked up or it's their fault. Can we just stop abusing children already. #humanshields #wtf
