[Peace-discuss] AWARE and Oct 28 protest of Koh's appearance

Tue Sep 6 19:51:24 UTC 2016

I have been organizing and planning it, and have a few people planning to attend. If Stuart gets involved, as he did promise, that would be great because he knows a lot of people and groups. Stuart also possesses the technical skills that I lack.

 Midge’s article has really stirred things up, along with Prof. Boyles articles and as a result we may have a movement that can really ignite interest in justice against war and war criminals.

What we have so far is:
a) two speakers: Prof. Boyle, Carl Estabrook
b) Paul Mueth will film, and is looking into the acquisition of megaphones and a sound system.
c) I did circulate an "event page" by way of FB, however if someone wants to do a full FB webpage for the event that would be awesome.
d) A couple students plan to attend and “ask questions”
I’m still working on acquiring signs that say more than “stop the killing”, pictures of children killed by the bombs and drones that Koh supports would be good.

Thats where we are so far. I hope someone is willing to take over my efforts and ensure that we provide the reception befitting this Killer, not the one he is expecting from the COL.

I would also like to link up AWARE’s efforts with other groups in the area in an effort to further raise awareness of the US killings and destruction.

We organized this protest against Meese and the Illinois Law Mafia back in 1987 over at the Krannert Center Greek Amphitheater. I suggest we do the same for Killer Koh and the Illinois/Yale Law Mafias on October 28 in front of the Illinois Law Mafia Building. Just Two Gangs of Thugs. Fab.

<image052.jpg>Illinois Law: Boyle, a specialist in international law, said Meese should be allowed to speak, but not as the university's guest to honor the Constitution.

Back in early 1987 the ex-Dean of the University of Illinois College of Law (we later got canned—note that Dean Rodriguez) publicly announced that the Keynote Speaker at our Campus Celebration of the 200th  anniversary of the United States Constitution would be Reagan’s Attorney General Edmund Meese in order “to honor” the Constitution. As I immediately told the news media at that time, this would be like asking Attila the Hun to speak “in honor” of Virginity. Meese repeatedly raped the Constitution for Reagan. So we immediately organized a Citizen’s Protest right outside where Meese was speaking entitled “We The People.”
The University Administration threatened to shut us down. I drafted both Federal and State TROs to stop it, coordinated them with a US Federal Judge and a State Judge beforehand, and then informed the University General Counsel that we would seek immediate TROs to stop them from shutting us down. The University Police told us that if Meese’s Secret Service (SS) entourage told them to shoot us, they would shoot us. We went on with our event anyway. The figure was a lot more than the 200 listed below—always an undercount by the MSM. The Street was overflowing with Protestors. And for speakers we brought in Representatives of all of the Poor, the Oppressed and the Downtrodden who had been persecuted by Reagan and Meese et al. That is Illinois Law for you!

And what did the Northwestern Law Faculty do when it was announced several days beforehand that Holder was going to desecrate, defile and debase the Constitution and use their Law School as a Prop to do so by justifying the murder of United States Citizens? Zip. Zero. Nothing. Nada. Diddly-squat. The gutless wonders of the Northwestern Law Faculty stood by and watched Holder rape the Constitution and Northwestern Law School in their presence. They have no Guts and no Principles. Northwestern Law School died that day.

And what is the difference between Holder/Obama and Meese/Reagan? Even Meese/Reagan never claimed any bogus “right” to murder U.S. Citizens for any reason, and to the best of my knowledge they did not murder U.S. Citizens—though they murdered a lot of foreigners. Whereas Holder/Obama have now murdered at least 3 U.S. Citizens that we are aware of—and counting. From the perspective of the US Constitution, Holder/Obama are far worse and more dangerous than Meese/Reagan.

The Northwestern Law Faculty are no longer fit to educate Lawyers, Members of the Bar, and Officers of the Court.

RIP: Northwestern Law School (died 2012)

Subject: Re: AWARE and Oct 28 protest of Koh's appearance

Hello Jay!

Yes AWARE is still here and I am still involved in it.

Francis Boyle has indeed stirred us up!  We're going to do *something* to protest Koh's appearance at the Law School here on Oct 28th, but I'm not sure how much has been planned.    This may have been discussed at one or another recent meeting, and I've missed some of them, so am forwarding this to our peace-discuss mailing list.

Midge O'Brien wrote an article about Koh in our local alternative publication, the public i -
    http://publici.ucimc.org/october-surprise-harold-killer-koh-to-lecture-at-ui-law-school-in-election-week/

Peaceable people, where do plans stand for objecting to Koh's presence?

Is there something AWARE and World Can't Wait might do together?

Hi, Stuart

I'm writing on behalf of the Chicago chapter of World Can't Wait. We heard

that a protest will be happening in Champaign on Oct 28 when Harold Koh is

invited to speak at the law school there. I imagine you're aware (!) of

Koh's history as an "equal opportunist" war criminal for many

administrations, including esp the aid he gave to HRC as secretary of

state.

Are you still involved with AWARE? Is AWARE working on this protest? Our

WCW chapter will be talking about this protest at our meeting next Monday,

and I'd appreciate any information and thoughts you'd care to share with

us.

Thanks!

Jay Becker
