Dear friends,

Thanks to the 100 people who braved a wintry Friday night on US Independence Day July 4 to protest outside the US Consulate over the continuing military occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan and the NZ governments participation in that occupation. See "NZ troops carry body bags’ to Iraq" http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/PO0307/S00049.htm Worldwide the lies that were told to justify the Iraq war are being exposed and support for Bush and Blair is falling as fast as the casualty rate is rising among the occupation forces. Now that “The Listener” is back online we are able to link to a penetrating interview with Helen Clark over NZ's military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan (See Below).

Due to some meeting clashes GPJA's organising committee meeting has been postponed to this Monday July 21 at 7pm. Anyone keen to get involved in planning future GPJA activities should feel free to come along. New volunteers always warmly welcomed. (For details see "What's On in Auckland" below)

PROTEST USER CHARGES IN WAITAKERE - MEETING THURSDAY Kelston Community Centre, Thursday 17th July 7.30pm (cnr Awaroa and Great North Rd.) Waitakere City Council has reneged on its promise to review water funding after its recent consultation (Long Term Council Community Plan). They have shelved the decision until 2005-2006. Citizens Against Privatisation occupied the council offices on Wednesday 9th July and met with Mayor Bob Harvey, Deputy Mayor Caroline Stone and CEO Harry O Rourke. They committed to relooking at the issue at the next Council meeting. Public pressure at this point is therefore crucial so please attend the meeting at Kelston. Numbers do count.

Through the LTCCP process the council received nearly 2000 submissions supporting a fully rates funded option for water. Since 1997 14000 people have signed Submissions and petitions on this issue. They deserve a decision in the coming months, not years. We need maximum support at this public meeting. WCC representatives will be there to explain their position. We need you to come along and demand that they deliver a fairer charging system for water, one that does not penalise the low to average income majority. There will be speakers from various groups and an opportunity for anyone to voice their opinions.

For further information contact Meredydd Barrar (Citizens Against Privatisation spokesperson) Ph (09) 836 6389

ECCO ECCO Meetings Every Monday @ 7 at 9/210 Upper Symonds St, AK CBD (Down alleyway beside green Digital River building, red door on left.).

SOCIAL FORUM AOTEAROA - NOVEMBER 21-23 Te Wananga o Aotearoa, Porirua Another world is possible Since its first meeting in Porte Alegre (Brazil) in 2001 the World Social Forum (WSF) has helped transform the globalisation debate. Now New Zealand is to hold its first Social Forum - in Porirua in November 2003. The Social Forum is an open meeting place where groups and movements engaged in building a global society centred on the human person come together to pursue their thinking, to debate ideas democratically, to formulate proposals, share their experiences freely and network for effective action (see the WSF Charter of Principles).

The WSF movement seeks to create alternative means of building a globalization in solidarity, respecting the human rights of all and the environment. It is grounded in democratic international systems and institutions at the service of social justice, equality and the sovereignty of peoples. It aims to develop an international coalition of the widest range of social movements and organizations, on the principle of respect for differences, autonomy of ideas and forms of endeavour.

The first meeting of the Social Forum Aotearoa aims to strengthen community/whanau/ngo networking and to showcase community based ideas and solutions in Aotearoa. It will facilitate input to processes such as the World Social Forum meeting in Mumbai, India, in 16-21 January 2004; New Zealand's Action Plan for Human Rights; the Commonwealth Civil Society Meeting prior to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Abuja, Nigeria, in December 2003.

Combining workshops, interactive events, cultural performance and entertainment, everyone's invited to come! For more information contact Pat Hanley mailto:angoa@clear.net.nz or Mike Treen mailto:miket@pl.net

Thursday, July 17, 7.30pm, St Columba Centre, 40 Vermont St, Ponsonby. AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF THE INVASION OF IRAQ’ - Ruth Russell, from South Australia, was a human shield in Baghdad for eight weeks, including three weeks protecting a humanitarian site during the bombing which began in March 2003. She speaks about her experience there, what she and other human shields saw during the invasion; her talk is illustrated with photos taken at the time. "I decided to pack my bags and go to Baghdad because I believed this was the strongest statement I could make that this war was both illegal and morally wrong. So my first and most important effort was to speak out to try to prevent war. Right up until the last moment I thought the incredible world opinion and lack of any UN Resolution would work the people of the world did not want it - only three out of 180 countries supported the US government. When war was declared, I chose to stay at the Taji Food Silo to prevent bombing of this UN designated humanitarian site."

NEW ZEALAND TROOPS IN IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN Into the fire, by Gordon Campbell New Zealand troops are heading to Iraq and back to Afghanistan, two wildly unstable post-war zones, with barely a murmur of dissent. Have we capitulated to Anglo-American power, and will restive Iraqis or Afghans distinguish our military from unwanted occupying forces? Helen Clark responds. http://www.listener.co.nz/default,234.sm UK to lead international force in Iraq (includes NZ) "Britain already has 11,000 troops in the south of the country.

FREE GRANDMA JAILED FOR ANTIWAR PROTEST On the 10th of March, 2003, Danish grandmother and peace activist Ulla Roder broke into RAF Leuchars on the east coast of Scotland and using a pair of bolt-croppers nonviolently damaged a Tornado war-plane so it could not be used in the US and UK attack on Iraq. She then calmly waited for the police to arrive. The Tornado warplane would have been used to drop cluster bombs and depleted uranium. Ulla is currently on remand in Cornton Vale prison, Stirling, FK9 5NY, waiting for her trial to start on Monday 30th June. She has been charged with causing around £1 million of damage. Ulla acted in my name! Free-Ulla Petition is at http://www.free-ulla.org/petition/

A MESSAGE FROM SADDAM TO GEORGE After numerous rounds of 'We don't even know if Saddam is still alive', Saddam decides to send George W. a letter in his own writing to let him know that he is still in the game.

Bush opens the letter and sees only a coded message: "370HSSV- 0773H". He can't figure it out, so he asks Karl Rove.

Rove suggests that the head of the CIA would certainly understand code, so Bush sends it to George Tenet.

Tenet, however, can't figure it out, either. He suggests, "How about Condi? She has a doctorate, that means she's smart."

But Dr. Rice is baffled, too. As Bush is pondering the mysterious message lying on the desk before him, Colin Powell enters the Oval Office. When he sees the paper and reads what is written on it, he asks, "Sir, where did that come from?"

Bush replies testily, "Supposedly it's a message from Saddam. But what the hell does '370HSSV-0773H' mean?"

Powell clears his throat and replies, "Mr. President, I think you've been looking at the message upside down.
