There is an answer to the question Stelios poses. Why Peter Tatchell supports a war against Iran.
His whole history is one of being closely connected to the officer class of Britain. Someone who lectures at Sandhurst and takes pride in being there for military matters cannot but be intertwined with the higher echelons of the British elite. He wont criticise Saudi Arabia in the same manner as Iran as Saudi Arabia has always been merely an oil well for the Texas crowd.
One aint gonna criticise the hand that feeds you now is one?

Do you know what Peter's position is with regards the saudi regime?

And why is he demanding an attack on Iran which in comparison is a paradise.


Is he? Where does he demand an attack on Iran? What type of attack is he demanding?

Lets read a few quotes from Tatchell himself writing in his column in the New Statesman
http://www.newstatesman.com/200302170013
Peter Tatchell wrote:

I am marching against war on Iraq but with feelings of ambivalence. The Stop the War campaign ignores Saddam's human rights abuses: detention without trial, torture, execution and the ethnic cleansing of Kurds and Shias.

Anti-war?
Peter Tatchell wrote:
While rejecting war, it offers no counter-strategy for overthrowing the "Butcher of Baghdad".

Doublespeak?
Peter Tatchell wrote:
We should help train and arm a Free Iraq army inside the safe havens of the northern and southern no-fly zones, as we supported the Free French forces and the French resistance during the Second World War. From these safe havens, the Iraqi opposition could launch military operations against Saddam Hussein, creating liberated areas around the major towns, leading to an eventual assault on Baghdad. The Kurds in the north already have large armies. The Shias and Marsh Arabs in the south want to take on Saddam. All they need is training and weapons. Pincer movements from the north and south could encircle Baghdad within six months.

Harldy the words of a peace campaigner
http://www.newstatesman.com/200303240002
Peter Tatchell wrote:
I unfurled a banner: "Arm the Kurds! Topple Saddam"

When protesting in front of Tony Blair's car
Peter Tatchell wrote:

We should give the Iraqis the weapons they need to demolish the dictatorship

These are Peter Tatchell's acual words AGAINST the impending war in Iraq. Now excuse me for pointing out the obvious but this is exactly the kind of DOUBLESPEAK we have seen in 1984. While on the face of it appearing to be anti war he is nevertheless justifying and encouraging it by undermining the Stop the War movement.
Please check the links these are all Tatchell's own words.
Like his article on 911 and Iran.
Doublespeak.
ian neal wrote:

In fact OUTRAGE has campaigned against Saudi Arabia. So i am wrong, i guess Peter is against Saudi Arabia as well.

But it is curious that Tathell himself published the above quotes BEFORE our invasion of Iraq. Now on the eve of a new war against Iran he times his anti-Iranian comments to coincide. It could just be that he has chosen the wrong moment to express his views but many will read it as an endorsement. Like the famous judge said during a rape trial that "she was asking for it by wearing a short skirt." He has clearly muddied the waters by making his readers think that Irans deserves whats coming to them.

If Peter reads this let me say one thing to him.
You do not 'liberate' people by killing them.
Anti-war means PEACE. And Peter you are certainly NOT a peace campaigner according to your words.

Peter Tatchell wrote:
Under Saddam Hussein discrete homosexuality was usually tolerated. Since his overthrow, the violent persecution of gay people is commonplace

And just one more quote from Peter regarding Israel. Lesbian and Gay organisations had called for a boycott of Israel which had organised an event to be staged in Jerusalem. "We ask you to join us in a boycott of travel to World Pride Jerusalem 2006 as part of the international boycott of Israel and the campaign to divest from Israel."
However Tachell wrote in his website www.petertatchell.net
Peter Tachell wrote:
The call for a boycott of World Pride in Jerusalem may seem an appropriate response to Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian land in defiance of successive UN resolutions calling for withdrawal.
http://www.boycottworldpride.org/index.html
On careful reflection OutRage! believes a boycott would be a big mistake. While supporting justice for the Palestinian people, we oppose calls for a boycott of World Pride, which is being held in Jerusalem from 6-12 August 2006.

Now do you get my point about doublespeak?

At a march in London in 2004 by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign 'pro' Palestine campaigner Tatchell was carrying a placard.

With advocates like Tatchell - who needs enemies?

Ken Livingstone wrote:

Clearly, Tatchell, whom I strongly defended against homophobia when he was selected as the Labour candidate in Bermondsey, has lost his political bearings and constructed a fantasy world in which the main threat we face, worse than the far right, is Islamic fundamentalist hordes.

It is not surprising that this approach takes him into a de facto alliance with the American neo-cons and Israeli intelligence services who want to present themselves as defending western "civilisation" against more "backward" civilisations in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Amen to that.

All government starts with the natural human desire to 'organise'. Why do we need to organise at all? Would change become more effective if each individual acted independently - from the heart? I think so, as every attempt at organisation has historically ended up with yet another control mechanism driven by those whose only desire is to control?

IOW, psychopathy trumps all by sheer force of 'personality' (ie. ego) - over and over again. Amen.

Peter's office via noel asked me to post this.

Quote:
Tatchell is obviously against war with Iran and has said so many times. This is what he actually wrote, for example, on The Guardian website on 20 September 2007:

http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/peter_tatchell/2007/09/iran_execut es_more_arabs.html

"Quite rightly, most Arabs do not support a US attack on Iran. Military intervention would strengthen the position of the hardliners in Tehran; allowing President Ahmadinejad to play the nationalist card and, using the pretext of defending the country against imperialism, to further crack down on dissent. Many Ahwazis believe the route to liberation is an internal "people power" alliance of Iranian socialists, liberals, democrats, students, trade unionists and minority nationalities.

"I have supported the Iranian people's struggle for democracy and human rights for four decades - first against the western-backed imperial fascist Shah and, since 1979, against the clerical fascism of the ayatollahs. Some anti-war leftists refuse to condemn the Tehran dictatorship and refuse to support the Iranian resistance; arguing that to do so would play into the hands of the US neocons and militarists. I disagree. Opposing imperialism and defending human rights are complementary, not contradictory."

This is a very clear unambigious opposition to war with Iran.

Very interesting he should use this example. Isnt this EXACTLY what he was saying about Iraq?
And it looks like Peter is fanning the flames for a breakaway Ahwazi movement in the oil producing region. While the North America Union and the USSEU keep getting bigger without offering us a referendum the Neo-Cons continue their strategy of divide and rule in the rest of the world wherever there is oil or gold.
Peter Tatchell wrote:

Can it please be explained to Peter that today Iran is not a dictatorship. It is a fledgling democracy struggling under the burdon of 30 years sanctions.
And any Iranian 'resistance' is simply a CIA created insurgency war by proxy. Peter your language is highly inflamatory. Why not simply oppose an Israeli/American atack on an independant sovereign democratic nation. Why mix in your spicy and mischievous words likely to confuse the true Stop the War advocates.
You cannot oppose war yet be in favour of an insurgency and terrorism
You cannot oppose dictatorship yet threaten a democratic country

My view is that we should take great caution in seeing the world in terms of black and white, polar opposites. This is usually precisely how the PTB wish us to see the world. So much the easier to divide and control us.

So I disagree with simple generalisations like the IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran) good, any opposition Iranian resistence bad (CIA front) or the reverse.

I understand the popular uprising against the Shah that brought the current theocracy to power gives this approach to government (what you call a fledgling democracy) a degree of legitimacy and that IMO Iran is no more a dictatorship than the US or UK.

What history tells us is the powers of darkness will seek to influence and infiltrate all sides of any conflict and play them off against each other. So yes I dare say the CIA are looking to use Alwazi groups to destabalise Iran and provoke unrest and 'balkanisation' (just as they fermented internal unrest with false flag terror back in the 50s and used Kurdish groups in Iraq). But that doesn't mean all resistence is CIA inspired or that there are no human rights abuses in Iran (which I believe there clearly are). My personal take is that all governments of any global significance have their dark, corrupt side in which the CIA / Powers that be have claws embedded deep (US, UK, Russia, Saudi, Pakistan, France, Australia, Israel and on and on) and Iran is no exception

As a campaign I believe our position should be based around what I set out in a recent email that you received

Quote:
I think we are ALL aware that the west is engaged in a propaganda war against the Iranian regime as a pretext to another probable illegal war.

What individual campaigners believe with regards the Iranian regime is their business and they are of course free to express these beliefs.

Personally I'm no fan of the regime but as a campaign (as in the national campaign), I think it is wise that we are totally impartial and non-aligned to ANY political party or group either in this country or any other.

We would not dream of aligning our selves with a political party in this country and this should be our attitude to Iranian politics. After all in the build up to the Iraq war, there was no need to express support for Saddam or any other political group in Iraq, in order to oppose an illegal invasion.

We should stand 'shoulder to shoulder' in 100% solidarity with the people of Iran against the war-mongering and lies of western media and neo-con politicians for peace, truth, justice and human rights. No if or buts on that. Just as we should be 100% solidarity with Iraqi and Afghani people.

But the national campaign should remain above any attachment or association to any political group, IMO. What other groups, individuals and organisations choose to do, whether to choose to be non-aligned, opposed or supportive of the Iranian regime is of course their business.


Do you have a problem with what I set out here? If so what?

You deselected the day before and now came back with this.
Or you couldn't argue your point asked to be deselected and then returned with this nonsense?

More important are real stories about gays in the Whitehouse and the use of rent boys than fake ones like the ones you post.

I've asked to be unsubscribed but no one has unsubscribed me.

Of course these things are more important but I'm fed up of reading on here wild accusations, opinions and assertions with no reference to reality just a personal opinion! How can you draw an opinion if the end result is based on your own bigotry and not facts?

Don't argue with me. I've had enough, there is no point arguing with a brick wall. I will be reading the we are change . org website and infowars and my own freeuk forum and when I see or hear something I'm going to do my own research as i find the time before i draw any opinion on its validity.

What I have never heard from any of the alleged opponents to the Wars for the Texan oil gangsters is the boycotting of the USA, sanctions against the USA, the support of the resistance against the USA etc.

Politics is reduced always into pronouncements against states with oil. But not the USA which also has oil.

If a real anti-war movement existed and it does not, it would have campaigned seriously at army recruitment centres, at naval and army bases, at officers training centres and it would have publically breached the topic of 9/11.

Doublespeak or orwellspeak would have died a long time ago. Sadly it has not.

That is a good point.
why isnt the Stop the War telling it's members not to buy and USA or Israeli goods and services?
Actually im a member of STW so i think i will ask them directly.

A boycott of Starbucks, McDonalds, KFC, Ford, IBM, Dell, Burger King, MBNA, Capital One, will do mare to stop the war than a million marches.

Stellios

Like I say there is a great danger in seeing this in black and white terms.

If you read what Peter wrote he is clearly against any war with Iran or any external military action. He is against the US neo-cons and their imperialist ways.

You are using selective quotes and distorting them to make out Peter is saying the exact opposite of what he is actually saying.

Yes he is also not a fan of the Iranian regime and clearly hopes for an INTERNAL 'people power' movement to bring about regime change, but as he points out those 2 positions are not mutually exclusive.

Your 'enemy's' 'enemy' is not necessarily your friend since as often as not they join up round the back in the shadows

Iran is already democratic and making progress in reforming

Iran is a dangerous, terroristic, fundamentalist, anti-Semitic dictatorship, which is striving to develop nuclear weapons and which poses a serious threat to international peace and security.
This is a very inflamatory statement. Iran has threatened nobody.

If Iran was no longer a fanatical religious tyranny, the case for war would evaporate.
There is no case for war other than for the people who want to grab Iran's resources. And for fanatics like Tatchell, bush and Sarkozy.


Jihadis and suicide bombers.
Most Jihadis and suicide bombers are from Britain, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I am not aware of one single one from Iran or of an iranian background.

Please show me in all of peter Tatchell's columns where he has argued against the war? In all his writings he argues FOR war but in a very sneaky way.
I mean who turns up to a Pro Palestine demonstration with ANTI Palestinian banners?
In my opinion this chap is an agent provocateur (sorry if i spelled it wrong)
His recent visit to Russia where he got beaten up must be viewed in the same light. He went exactly at the same time as Miliband and the rest of the Berezovsky employees were kicking up a stink. That cannot be a coincidence he went at that vital time to stir up anti-russian news.
Dont forget he was beaten up at the Palestinian demonstration too.
He writes for the New Statesman which has always been a pretty biased Labour/Zionist publication.

Watch it Tony,

Good job you made those comments before the law came into force!

I mean you have just committed a Hate Crime!

For God's sake man, I might have to report you to the discrimination department for re-programming/re-education/love torture.

looks like Tatchell has been up to his old tricks again
This week he attended a Pro Palestinian rally in central London and managed to disrupt it again and divert attention from the message.
Al Quds pro-Palestinian march and rally in took place in Trafalgar Square in London last Sunday, 7 October 2007. The Al Quds demonstration was supported by the left-wing Respect Party, 1990 Trust, Muslim Association of Britain, Islamic Human Rights Commission, Hizb ut-Tahrir and the Federation of Student Islamic Societies.
The post-march Trafalgar Square rally was addressed by the Respect Party MP, George Galloway, and the former Daily Express journalist, Yvonne Ridley.

The Al Quds protest was in support of justice for the Palestinian people.
However Peter Tatchell's unwelcome and provocative attendance managed to disrupt the event. As most people know Tatchell has long been an anti Muslim and anti Palestinian campaigner who is also a person who wrote and spoke in support of the war in Iraq and has recently been campaigning for an attack to take place in Iran.
I suggest we write to Peter Tatchell to inform him to stay away from any Stop The War and other such events failing that an injunction be served preventing him from attending. I also suggest we write to the Guardian and the New Statesman to get Tatchell removed from his job which he has used to spew his pro war vitriol and anti Muslim rhetoric and anti Palestinian bile.

This from Peter on the Al Quds demonstration

Quote:
Islamists slander and threaten Tatchell

Al Quds protest backs fundamentalist terror groups

London - 10 October 2007

Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell was threatened and slandered as
a paedophile when he attended the Al Quds pro-Palestinian march and
rally in London last Sunday, 7 October 2007.

The Al Quds demonstration was supported by the left-wing Respect
Party, 1990 Trust, Muslim Association of Britain, Islamic Human Rights
Commission, Hizb ut-Tahrir and the Federation of Student Islamic
Societies.

The post-march Trafalgar Square rally was addressed by the Respect
Party MP, George Galloway, and the former Daily Express journalist,
Yvonne Ridley.

"The Al Quds protest was supposed in support of justice for the
Palestinian people," said Peter Tatchell.

"That's a cause I support. I am against Israel's illegal occupation of
the West Bank and its divisive Berlin-style wall.

"But I object to the way the Al Quds demonstration also supports the
tyrannical, anti-Semitic Iranian regime and its fundamentalist,
terrorist offshoots, Hamas and Hezbollah.

"I joined the march with three members of the left-wing group Workers
Liberty, who also wanted to draw attention to human rights abuses by
the Tehran regime. We were part of a larger anti-Al Quds protest, but
whereas everyone else decided to protest from the sidelines as the Al
Quds marchers passed through Piccadilly Circus, four of us took the
decision to join the Al Quds march and challenge its fundamentalist
pro-Iranian regime agenda.

I held two placards. One with a Palestinian flag and the slogan 'Free
Palestine,' and the other with a photograph of a 16-year-old girl,
Atefeh Rajabi Sahaaleh, who was executed in 2004 by the Iranian regime
for 'crimes against chastity,' after having been sexually abused since
childhood. Tehran hanged the female victim of abuse, not the male
perpetrators. My placard said: 'Oppose the government of Iran, Support
the people of Iran.'

"As soon as I turned up, I was subjected to a barrage of violent,
threatening abuse from large sections of the crowd. Some started
chanting: 'Tatchell is a Zionist, Tatchell is a paedophile. Get out!
Get out! Get out!'

"Despite this abuse, we handed out leaflets criticising the Iranian
regime, which a number of the Al Quds marchers took and read.
Following at the back of the march, we were subjected to a torrent of
hatred all the way from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square. A few of the Al
Quds marchers shouted things like: 'You are all Zionists and CIA
agents. How much money did Bush pay you to come here today?' These
people are paranoid and delusional.

"On six occasions, some of the protestors tried to physically attack
me and the Workers Liberty activists. It was only police intervention
that stopped them from battering us. These Islamists claim to
represent true Islam, but in my view they behaved in a most un-Islamic
and unreligious way.

"They preach a gospel of hatred and violence against Jews, gay people
and even other Muslims who disagree with their fundamentalist
interpretation of Islam. I am sure most Muslims in Britain would be
horrified by their justification of violent extremism.

"Many of the marchers were carrying Hezbollah flags and chanting: 'We
are all Hezbollah now.' When we pointed out that Hezbollah kills
innocent Israeli civilians, and endorses the execution of women and
gay people who transgress their extremist interpretation of Islam, we
were told things like: 'That's good. Society has to have order. These
punishments are necessary for the good of society.'

"On a positive note, several of the Al Quds marchers, nearly all women
and nearly all wearing the hijab, expressed their support for our
protest. One said: 'We don't agree with the Iranian regime either.
Killing that young girl was wrong.' Another said: 'Islam is about love
and peace. Don't listen to the fanatics. We are only here because we
support Palestine.' Such responses were very gratifying to hear," said
Mr Tatchell.

Stelios

If you and others have a problem with Peter's position on gay rights or the Iranian regime, I suggest you address your thoughts to him, it is not something the campaign would ever get drawn into.

You seem unaware of the basic premise of the campaign. We welcome support for the campaign's call for a new investigation from anyone provided they are commited to non-violence and oppose the promotion of hatred/racism. Provided this is the case, anyone is free to speak their own truth in support of but not on behalf of the campaign.

To accuse someone of racism or being anti-muslim is not a small thing, since if demonstrated that would be grounds for the campaign to publicly reject someone's support. But nothing I have seen on this thread justifies these claims. To criticism the Iranian regime or hezbollah does not make Peter either pro-war or anti-muslim/anti-palestinian.

By calling for 'us' to seek an injunction against Peter displays a complete naivety of the workings of the law. I have explained the campaign's position with regards the Iranian Regime and our 'no endorsement' of anyone speaking in support of 9/11 truth.

Basically we welcome the public support for 9/11 truth from Mr A and Mr T. They are both free to speak their own truth in support of 9/11 truth. we endorse NEITHER of them. Really not that hard to understand.

If you would like to see this changed the route to go is convince either the co-chairs to change this or to convince the campaign committee to overrule us.

let me invite people to read the filth on his own website.

It's all very well for the lesbian and gay community to call for an equal age of consent of 16, but what about the sexual rights of those who are younger?

These under-age lesbians and gays, and their partners, are treated as criminals by the law. Consenting lesbian sex with a girl under 16 is punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment. The maximum sentence for consensual gay male sex with a boy under 16 is ten years for touching, kissing, sucking or w*nking, and life imprisonment for anal sex. These penalties apply where one partner is under 16 and the other is over 16, and also where both partners are below the age of 16. This legal barbarism doesn't protect young people; it victimises them.

Our community should be defending the human rights of all lesbians and gays, not just the over-16s. Yet, desperate for respectability, and terrified of being accused of condoning child sex abuse, most gay organisations refuse to support the right of the people under l6 to make their own decision about when they are ready for sex.

OutRage! recently broke ranks with the conservative gay consensus, arguing that youths below the age of l6 should be free to enjoy sexual relationships without being penalised by the law.

This evidence spurred OutRage! to launch a new campaign "to reduce the age of consent to 14 for everyone, both gay and straight", arguing that "14 is more realistic than 16, and much fairer".

I apologise if people find Peter Tatchell's own words vile

Please do not try and justify what Peter Tatchell is doing by describing it as 'gay rights'
As Ken Livingstone and others who know him have said he is a disturbed individual and rather than giving him the oxygen of publicity we should seek to distance this campaign from him asap.
You really should read his own artciles at www.petertatchell.net and decide for yourselves whether you agree with this person turning up to Pro-Palestinian demonstrations carrying ANTI-Palestinian banners.

No self respecting person especially Muslim can have anything to do with 911 truth if this campaign is giving Tatchell a vehicle for his views.
Tachell is a rabid Islamophobic and an ardent advocate for wars and invasions.
He is also by his own words an advocate for child sex. Look at his website and decide for yourselves. so we need to distance ourselves from this monster or lose more members.

Stelios, you really are well over the top here. I have never met Peter Tatchell, I've never talked to him but what I do know about him is that he condemns breaches of human rights wherever they take place and that's alright by me. And, yes, I have been onto his website and seen the variety of things he comments on.

Methinks you doth protest too much!

maybe you agree with his views?
but i think that as a campaign 911 truth needs to distance itself from somebody who is publically advocating and encouraging child sex
as well as all his Islamophobic stuff

If you are referring to Peter's belief that the Age of Consent for straight and gay people should be reduced to 14, then I'm opposed to that and IMHO it should remain at 16.

As a father myself of an eleven year old girl, I deplore how young people are today being targeted cynically by Big Business to become more sexually attractive and active at a younger and younger age. This applies particularly to girls and it really is desperately sad that childhoods are becoming shorter and shorter. However, that said, I'm not using this one disagreement I have with Peter to condemn him for everything else he's campaigning for.

Stelios, what is it with you religious types who have got religion dominating your lives? You see things in such an unforgiving, black and white way. It really gives me the creeps to see educated people fall for totally contrived belief systems which put you in different boxes and stops you from pursuing the TRUTH about things with an open and loving heart. Sorry, but it sounds to me that your mind is very much controlled and not open.

I think regrettably if Nick Griffin showed a similar degree of skeptism about the official theory of 9/11 as Peter Tatchell, I know who I would trust more.

I am convinced I could convert more BNP supporters to the truth of 9/11 than the supporters of Peter Tatchell........just a matter of de nile.

Justin, I hope you are educating members of the Green Party to the realities of the new world order whore in their midst.

If the following anti muslim hate site supports Tatchell.......

http://hurryupharry.bloghouse.net/

no comment comes to mind.

The site is insidious + evil,.......see its links. We are losing the propaganda war.!

Do you think a key speaker for Common Purpose would genuinely support 9/11 truth? The man's up to no good. It couldn't be more obvious.

Justin you have me confused.
I believe in God but i am far from being religious.

However as a father of teenagers including a girl of 13 i am very shocked to read the level of support Peter Tatchell has on this site. He is far from being a Gay activist he is far from that because i am not aware of British LGBT organisations called for a lowering of the age of consent.
Firstly Tatchell calls himself QUEER. I would consider that this is an offensive term. In the same way that Paki and Nigger and Dyke are also offensive. I work in an area with several Gays and Lesbians and i socialise with them as well and i can guarantee you i am not in the slightest way homophobic. None of them who i know actually support or endorse anything that Tachell says or does.
Read his articles and come back and tell me you are happy giving your support to this individual. Most Gays and Lesbians i have spoken to about him agree with me.
I guarantee you i have no problem with him being a campaigner for gay rights. But he is also campaigning for PAEDOPHILE rights and that is a completely different thing.
He is also attending Palestinian rallies carrying ANTI Palestinian banners and he also goes to Stop The War rallies with banners and leaflets demanding regime change in Iran.
He famously confronted Tony Blair demanding regime change in Iraq in 2003 probably given Blair the green light that the liberal left would accept his planned invasion if Tatchell was up for it.
Every statement that Tatchell has made is deeply Islamophobic but he also campaigns against Christianity as well.

His 'succesful' campaigns have usually been 'outing' closet gays and naming and shaming them in the News of The World. If you call that Gay rights campaigning then you are on a different planet.
If 911 truth does not distance themselves from Tatchell, who is asking for age of consent to be lowered to include children and is calling for the DECRIMINALISATION OF PAEDOPHILES, then every Christian and Muslim and Jewish person will leave 911 truth and every parent will also leave and so will most Gay and Lesbian members leave too.
We need to distance ourselves from Tatchell having anything to do with 911 or else.

I am still shocked that people are defending him.
Tatchell is a wicked and evil person who should not have anything to do with decent peace campaigners and truthseekers.

Let me be clear, we as a campaign group need to make clear that we REJECT everything that Peter Tachell says lock, stock and barrel.

So that would include our rejecting lock, stock and barrel Peter Tatchell's advocacy of a new independent investigation into the events of 9/11.

We'd better dissolve the whole campaign then. Laughing
