"Fuck the God of War" Iraq Procurement 2004

During the 26- 28th April 2004 Large Businesses Executives and Representatives (including Shell, ExxonMobil, ChevronTexaco and US arms manufacturer Raytheon) gathered like vultures to slice and dice up Iraq, not for the benefit of the Iraqi people, but for themselves.

This meeting was fittingly called the "Iraq Procurement Conference"

I went to London on the 27th to film and participate in one of the protests and this is the footage from that day.

By the time I arrived, it was absolutely pouring down with rain in sheets, and began to thunder with ice-cold hail too. It was wet, cold, windy and utterly miserable and the worst possible weather you could imagine - for protester , or police...

This however did not put off any of the protesters who were some of the most amazing and passionate people I've witnessed in my life.

In the video you will see some arrests, drumming, and also the remarkable Insurgent Rebel Clown Army who were amazing to watch interacting with police.

If you happened to be at this protest and would like some of the original footage please get in touch and I can sort you out.

This protest went very under reported, but was a priveledge to be at and witness as it showed me how heroic and passionate people can be in the most adverse of circumstances when all odds are against them.

When watching the arrests, keep in mind that these arrests are of the people who cared most at that moment for the people of Iraq, whilst our beloved leaders stood idly by and sent more of our troops into harms way.

Watching this footage again has nearly brought me to tears.

The accompanying music is by myself, featuring dialogue from Author "Howard Bloom", taken from a BBC late night TV program called "Disinfonation".

Peace and respects to all involved in this process, you are all my heroes ( and heroins! )

That's why collectively we have to become the anti-Hitlers. Hitler exploited millions of by tapping in to one of our greatest weaknesses, our ability to hate and that through destrucion we can conquer and better ourselves. It was a very negative but powerful expression. Our future is how we define it and the time to define it is now. We have to promote positive messages in every emotion and interaction we can possibly have if we really want to change the world.
