Three Dominican Nuns Ardeth Platte (66 years old),
Jackie Hudson (68), and Carole Gilbert (55), left to right,
outside the court at sentencing - their sentences totaled over 8 years.

Elderly Nuns Charged With Sabotage

On October 6, 2002, three Dominican nuns -- Jackie Hudson, 68; Ardeth Platte, 66; and Carole Gilbert, 55 -- entered a military base in northern Colorado to nonviolently witness against its Minuteman III nuclear missiles. Each of these intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) carries the destructive power of 300,000 tons of TNT and is on high alert to launch a nuclear war as part of the US's first-strike policy.

The three sisters were wearing white suits on which they had boldly lettered "CWIT (Citizens Weapons Inspection Team)" on the backs and "Disarmament Specialist" across the fronts.

They symbolically disarmed the nuclear missile by using ordinary household hammers on the tracks and by taking baby bottles filled with their own blood and pouring it in the form of crosses on the missile silo's 110-ton concrete cover. (At the trial, government witnesses testified that they did not damage it, but they were convicted anyway.)

The nuns said they were compelled to act as war with Iraq moved closer. The sisters said they shed their own blood in the effort to stop the inevitable bloodshed of countless members of God's family if these weapons were to be used.

The sisters chose the site in Colorado specifically because the U.S. Space Command, which threatens domination and exploitation of outer space, is located in Colorado Springs. The 49 nuclear-armed missiles in Colorado have recently been refitted with W-87 nuclear warheads, each with an explosive power of approximately 25 times the size of the Hiroshima bomb. They are not for defence but rather form part of the US's "first-strike" policy. "In our statement, prepared prior to acting, we are clear in making the connection between the Minuteman III and the US policy calling for domination and exploitation of outer space (Statement of the US Space Command, Vision for 2020)."

Their statement continued: "The items we left at N-8 reveal our knowledge of Nuremberg Principles, Geneva Conventions. U.S. Constitution and various other International laws and treaties. We know that any threat to use or use of the Minuteman III missile located at N-8 is grossly illegal and criminal specifically in violation of the 'intransgressible rules and principles of humanitarian law' as described by the International Court of Justice and understood by the U.S. as binding law in and for the U.S. We acted out of what we understand is a legal right, duty or privilege to interfere with, and stop ongoing imminent threat or use of a weapon that is criminal under U.S. law. We entered N-8 with no criminal intent, but rather to uphold the law....

"In the end we know that the World Court has declared that "all" nuclear weapons are illegal, including those held by the U.S. The symbolic disarmament of the Minuteman III, on high-alert, is a warning to the nation and the world that these God awful weapons are evil in hands of any nation."

"CWIT (Citizens Weapons Inspection Team)" on the
backs and "Disarmament Specialist" across the fronts.

The three nuns were charged with Sabotage and Malicious Destruction of Property of the United States. These charges carry a maximum sentences of 30 years and up to half a million dollars fine.

The nuns tried to use the international law argument in their defence, but U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn was swayed by the U.S. attorney's argument that U.S. law supersedes international law,and in a 32 page instruction barred the jury from hearing international law and Nuremberg defences during the trial.

As the federal jury convicted the three nuns, Sister Gilbert shouted to the jury, "We will not be found guilty under God's law."

Asked if vandalizing the silo was illegal, Hudson said:
"When someone holds a gun to your head or someone else's head do you not have a right and a duty to enter that arena and stop that crime?"

The sentencing took place in July 2003. Just before the nuns went inside to be sentenced they defiantly told a crowd of 150 supporters outside the courthouse they were not afraid of prison.

"Whatever sentence I receive today will be joyfully accepted as an offering for peace and with God's help it will not injure my spirit," Platte said. She choked up, stopped speaking and was hugged by the other sisters.

"The hope of the world rests on each of our shoulders," Hudson said. "We are doing our part. What about you?"

The nuns were were sentenced to prison terms totaling between them of 8 years and 8 months.

An Old American Habit

Alarmingly some people have been duped in to seeing the bloody US occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq as an aberration - as US foreign policy gone wrong - as America hijacked by a war mongering president. This analysis is wrong and what's more its dangerous, as it absolves the US of a history of crimes against humanity by blaming it all on one presidency gone bad. History shows us that America's crimes against the world did not start with the Bush presidency and if we choose to ignore this then they will not end with his presidency. The struggle isn't against Bush but rather against American Hegemony - continued american domination of the world.

Peoples memories are short, so here we present a brief glimpse of another US occupation:

Vietnam has a long history of foreign occupation and gallant resistance to it- French, Japanese, then French again, and finally American occupation. Upon the French defeat in 1954 it was agreed in the Geneva Peace Accords that a temporary division of Vietnam along the seventeenth parallel would occur for two years and then in June 1956 elections would be held for a unified Vietnam. But, as President Eisenhower noted in his memoirs, Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese national hero who had led his people to victory against the french would have won the the election by a landslide ("at least 80%"), so the elections were never held. Eisenhower having dispensed with democratic elections, instead installed the brutal dictatorship of Ngo Dinh Diem in South Vietnam. Diem, a Catholic, persecuted both Buddhists and Communists alike, he was hated by the people and only managed to stay in power by US support.

People in the south were ready to rise up and were getting impatient with the lack of action from the north. After witnessing its people in the south suffer six years of tyrannical rule, North Vietnam finally gave up trying to unify the country through political means and supported the creation in 1960 of the National Liberation Front in South Vietnam. America, under Kennedy's presidency, meanwhile poured in 1000s of "advisers" to help prop up their dictator. Then, in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson announced that the North Vietnamese had attacked two US destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin, (historians today admit that Johnson had lied and the attack never happened), and obtained Congressional approval of a resolution, which had been drafted before the Tonkin Incident, authorizing him to retaliate and so began what the Americans call the Vietnam war.

The US reign of terror in Vietnam is well known. Countless massacres of civilians, whole villages burned to the ground, systematic raping and sodomizing of Vietnamese girls, torture followed by mutilation of the murdered, water wells poisoned, use of chemical and biological agents on civilian populations, were among the atrocities committed by the strongest military power in the world against one of the weakest. The US sent in over half a million troops, and dropped more bombs on Vietnam than fell on Europe during World War II. For the Vietnamese it was a holocaust, five million* Vietnamese were killed. (*figure released. April 3, 1995, includes those killed as a result of Agent Orange)

 

"Agent Orange Babies" Extract from article "But what of our weapons?" by John Pilger, 4 May1999 Babies deformed due to the use of chemical weapons by the US in Vietnam [American War Crimes Museum, Vietnam] Between 1961 and 1971, American planes dropped on South Vietnam a defoliant, Agent Orange , which contained dioxin, a poison that causes foetal death, congenital defects and cancer. Even after a Congressional inquiry revealed that the equivalent of six pounds of dioxin had been dumped on every man, woman and child in South Vietnam, the spraying continued. A pattern of deformities began to emerge: babies born without eyes, with deformed hearts and small brains and stumps instead of legs.In the towns and cities, it was not unusual to see deformed children begging. They were known as ' Agent Orange babies '. Recently, at the Tu Do hospital in Saigon, I was shown a group of newborn babies , all of whom had Agent Orange deformities. The war that officially ended in 1975 goes on; contaminated soil and water are poisoning a third generation. Unlike American and Australian veterans of the war, who have been finally compensated by the manufacturers of dioxin, the Vietnamese have received nothing. Now a five-year Canadian study has discovered that dioxin runs right through Vietnam's food chain and has called for international help in decontaminating agricultural land, forests and waterways. The cost of one F-16 bomber would pay for this...

 

With an iron resolve to resist occupation, the South Vietnamese in 1968 launched a grassroots uprising against the occupiers - "The Tet Offensive." Although it was brutally put down, it marked the the beginning of the end for American occupation in Vietnam. By 1975, the Americans were defeated and Saigon, the southern capital, was liberated. The peace agreement Nixon signed included a promise to pay $3.25 billion towards reparation. As in war, in peace the words of an American President could not be relied upon and none of it was ever paid.

 

The Prisoner They Couldn't Break... By Mrs. Truong My Hoa* A re-creation of a political prisoner being chained by the ankles in a cell in one of the "Tiger Cages." [American War Crimes Museum, Vietnam] The war ended fifteen years ago in victory for our people, but the country remains devastated. We say that victory cannot match our suffering. After all, the United States sent their troops over here with the intent to destroy all, burn all, and kill all. They destroyed the land. In the South, the Americans burned villages and herded the women and children into camps surrounded by barbed wire. South Vietnam became an enormous prison. Many children couldn't go to school, people weren't free to work their land. They killed brutally, indiscriminately. You remember the massacre at My Lai, in Quang Ngai province. There were many other villages where the people were massacred. My Lai was only the worst. Women everywhere were raped, killed, arrested, beaten. Pregnant women's bellies were cut open and their unborn babies thrown into burning houses. Thousands of women were imprisoned. Some were suspected V.C., some were real fighters, many were just ordinary people who were arrested and jailed for no reason. There were prisons all over the South. There were central prisons and provincial prisons and district prisons. Mothers with babies and pregnant women were arrested. They arrested old people and children and even handicapped people. I remember in Con Son prison there was an old blind woman, Mrs. Sau. She was kept in a tiger cage, with five or six people, all in a cage, covered by iron poles. I was imprisoned in Con Son from 1964 to 1975. I had been a student in Ho Chi Minh City-Saigon at that time. I attended meetings and went to demonstrations to demand freedom and democracy. The South Vietnamese arrested me when I was nineteen, and I was thirty by the time I was released. All my family was active in the resistance for fifty years, and we each spent a long time in prison. My husband, too, spent fourteen years in jail, longer than me. We were beaten and tortured. They had all kinds of sexual torture for the women. And we were so hungry. When I was kept in the tiger cage at Con Son, I was given only a small tin of water and a little bowl of rice each day. There was a lot of sand, and when the winds blew, the sand covered our rice bowls. And flies, flies everywhere. Con Son was filthy and cold, a stone prison on a cold, windy island. We had one set of clothing a year. We never went outside, never bathed. We tore rags off our clothing for our menstrual periods, so that we were left with practically nothing to cover our bodies. There were all kinds of disease-dysentery, typhoid, cholera, malaria, small pox. Every morning we woke up wondering who had died in the night. There was no medicine. they said we could only have medicine if we would salute the South Vietnamese flag. We always refused. Many of my comrades died of disease, of hunger, of torture. I spent a year in the tiger cage. On top they kept limestone and a water pot. If prisoners talked to each other they poured water and limestone [forming a caustic chemical which burns the skin on contact] over us, and if we cried they beat us with sticks, and then let the limestone burn our wounds. You can see right here, my forehead is scarred. They stuck sharp pins in my head. That was excruciating torture. I still have the scars. Many women never recovered. The interrogators were always puppet troops. The Americans were the advisers. Sometimes they came there. We liked to say that the Americans had to change the color of their bodies. Too many of their soldiers were dying, so they had to use Vietnamese to kill Vietnamese. Children in the South suffered terribly, and still suffer. They were left orphaned, with no homes, no food, no schools. They became beggars, dope dealers, thieves. We have orphans, and widows and grieving mothers. We sing songs that tell the suffering of women who sent their sons to battle. And there are many women who never married because so many men in our country were killed. That's always the case in war. Whole families of women are left without men. You must know about our "long-haired army" in Vietnam. The women operated on three fronts: political, military, and mobilization among the enemy troops. They were very effective in enemy territory. Women made great sacrifices. We know of mothers who suffocated their babies so they would not cry, in order to protect the troops. They sacrificed one life to save many.

In the above photo she is seen addressing the 4th UN World Conference on Women (Beijing, China.1995).

 

One massacre made famous by the fact that it managed to surface despite the official cover-up was the massacre of the village of My Lai (16 Mar 1968). The village contained no Viet Cong - no combatants - no weapons -just women, children and old men. The aim wasn't to engage the enemy soldiers but rather to terrorise the civilian population.

People were rounded up into ditches and machine-gunned

The mass murder was coldly planned the night before with instructions given to "kill everyone" in the village. The next morning the US troops of Charlie Company entered the village. They met no resistance - there were no Viet Cong soldiers at My Lai. At 9am orders were given to start the slaughter of the innocent.

Women were gang raped; Vietnamese who had bowed to greet the Americans were beaten with fists and tortured, clubbed with rifle butts and stabbed with bayonets. People were rounded up into ditches and machine-gunned. They lay five feet deep in the ditches; any survivors trying to escape were immediately shot. When Lt William Calley, the commander of the platoon, spotted a baby crawling away from a ditch, he grabbed her, threw her back into the ditch, and opened fire. Some of the bodies were mutilated by having "C Company" carved into their chests; some were disembowelled.

 

A Mothers Protection... Extract from a Time Magazine Article (Nov 1969) on the My Lai massacre, a US soldier (Roberts) describes what he saw: 'Troops accosted a group of women, including a teenage girl. A Gl grabbed the girl and with the help of others started stripping her. 'Let's see what she's made of,' a soldier said. 'VC boom-boom,' another said, telling the thirteen-year-old girl that she was a whore for the Vietcong. 'I'm horny,' said a third. As they were stripping the girl, with bodies and burning huts all around them, the girl's mother tried to help her. One soldier kicked the mother, and another slapped her. Young girls sheltering behind their mother as american soldiers order them to strip for raping before killing them. Ron Haeberle [the army photographer] jumped in to take a picture of the group of women. The picture [above] shows the thirteen-year-old girl hiding behind her mother, trying to button the top of her pyjamas. When they noticed Ron, they left off and turned away as if everything was normal. Then a soldier asked, "Well, what'll we do with 'em?" "Kill 'em," another answered. I heard an M60 go off, a light machine-gun, and when we turned all of them and the kids with them were dead.'

 

One GI, Varnado Simpson, would later say, "You didn’t have to look for people to kill, they were just there. I cut their throats, cut off their hands, cut out their tongues, scalped them. I did it. A lot of people were doing it and I just followed. I just lost all sense of direction."

Another American soldier, Paul Meadlo, later admitted: “We huddled ’em up. We made them squat down... I poured four clips into the dinks...the mothers kept hugging their children...we kept on firing...”

The american soldiers paused for lunch at 11am before continuing the slaughter. Well over 500 innocent civilians were murdered that day.

 

A Survivor Remembers... By Mrs. Ha Thi Qui Tramatised survivors - the "lucky" few who escaped In the early morning, just after we got up, the helicopters came and started shelling, and soldiers poured out onto the fields. I was eating breakfast. We thought it might be like the other times the Americans came into the village. They gave the children candy. Or like the second time, when Americans came to take water from the well to fill their canteens, and then left, and they didn't do any harm to the people. But the third time, March 16, 1968, when they came to the hamlet they rounded up all the people. Some they took to the roadside and shot right away. The people on the guard tower were all killed. And some they brought over to this ditch, here. First they shot Mr. Cau. He was a monk. He lived in the pagoda. Then they forced everyone into the ditch and shot them. I was wounded in the backside. At first I felt very, very hot, and later on very cold. And they killed-you see, they fired a first time into the ditch, and many men, children and women were killed. They cried, "Mother." They were screaming. The soldiers fired three more times and finished the cries of the people. The first time there were still people screaming. They fired a second time, and the third time it was finished, all the people were killed. Afterwards, I got up to go back to my house, and I saw nothing. All the houses had been burned. They had cut down our village tree by the pond. They had cut all the trees down in the orchards. They had killed everyone. There were dead bodies all over the village. I took a little dead baby back to the house from the roadside. It was my daughter's child. I went to the next hamlet and found my younger sister-in-law killed, lying on the floor. And I found her daughter's body, a fifteen-year-old girl, all her clothing torn off and her legs were spread open-raped by Americans. They had no mercy, the Americans. You see, they had come here many times and we got along with them. Then they came and killed all the people. They showed no mercy for the people. We had done nothing to them. If they had killed people at the beginning, one or two, we would have known to run, but we didn't know. I went back to my house and there was nothing, not even a pair of trousers to wear, because everything had been burned. The houses kept on burning, and I couldn't find anyone. I went to another hamlet, untouched by the Americans, to get food and clothing, and told them what had happened at Son My, and they came and carried the dead people away. There was a terrible smell. My oldest daughter was killed. You bear a child and bring her up, and then she gets killed. My husband had gone to work in the fields very early, so he escaped. Twice before, the Americans had come here and done nothing. We don't understand why the third time they killed the people. The Americans had lived alongside the Vietnamese people, and we did nothing to them. We worked, spent all our lives in the fields. How could they come and kill us that way? So we are very sad about the massacre, full of sorrow, the village people and the farmers, very sad about it. (src: Then the Americans Came: Voices from Vietnam, by Martha Hesss, 1993)

 

The cover-up of the massacre began almost as soon as the killing ended. Official army reports of the operation proclaimed a great victory: 128 enemy soldiers dead, only one American casualty (one soldier unintentionally shot himself in the foot). Colin Powell, then a major, was implicated in writing the cover-up report denying any massacre took place or any wrong doing on the part of the American soldiers. Stars and Stripes, the army newspaper, ran a feature story applauding the courage of the American soldiers who had risked their lives. Even General William Westmoreland sent a personal congratulatory note to Charlie Company.

A year later, by which time the whole world new about the massacre, a mock army investigation was ordered. Even that investigation, with its obvious biases, revealed enough evidence to charge 30 soldiers with war crimes. Only one soldier, however, was convicted - Lt William Calley, commander of the platoon, and he only served 3 days in prison! After the third day President Nixon ordering that he be released from prison to be held in the comfort of his home where he could entertain guests, cook his own food, keep pets and live an easy life. And after 3 years of house arrest this mass murderer was paroled and later pardoned - a free man, and was last seen working in a jewelery store in Columbus, Georgia!

Lt.William Calley
CRIME: Genocide
PUNISHMENT: Jailed for 3 days
AMERICAN JUSTICE IN ACTION!

In his book Flower of the Dragon, Richard Boyle, a free-lance journalist who went to My Lai to investigate the massacre, says: "My Lai was not the act of one man. It was not the act of one platoon, or one company. It was the result of an ordered, planned and well-conducted campaign conceived at high command levels to teach a lesson to the villagers of Quang Ngai province.

"The killing, of course, is part of a definite political strategy, a strategy usually described as the 'pacification' of Vietnamese villagers. In his book The Betrayal, Lt. Col. William R. Corson, an ex-Marine who had been in charge of pacification teams, describes the pacification program in a DMZ village complex: 'We conspired ... to literally destroy the hopes, aspirations and emotional stability of thirteen thousand human beings....This was not war it is genocide....'."

It was later revealed that My Lai massacre was just one of a series of atrocities, all meticulously planned as part of the "Phoenix Program" - a covert CIA "final solution" project, initiated in 1967, aimed at systematically destroying the civilian infrastructure that supported the insurgency in South Vietnam.

Boyle writes: "When I was about eight I used to ask my father what he'd been doing when Hitler rose to power, and he would reply that he'd been too busy trying to earn a living to pay attention. My mother would add that people didn't know what was going on in Germany.

 

My father's generation shakes its head in dismay and wonders how my generation could turn away from those values which 'made America great.' But they never told us that genocide was an old American habit... The village of My Lai - the Americans slaughtered over 500 innocent civilians

 

"Now my father's generation shakes its head in dismay and wonders out loud how my generation could turn away from those values which 'made America great.' But they never told us that genocide was an old American habit, that U.S. soldiers scalped hundreds of Indian women and children at Sand Creek and held up their scalps at the Salt Lake City opera house; that hundreds more defenseless Indians were gunned down at Wounded Knee, that General Jake Smith ordered the massacre of 8,294 children, 2,714 women and 420 men on the island of Samar during the American occupation of the Philippines in 1901.

"For me and for millions of my generation My Lai came as the final punch in the mouth, the end of our illusions. We could no longer say we didn't know. The day we learned of My Lai changed our lives."

But Boyle was in the minority, a Time Magazine poll at the time revealed that most Americans - 65% of nearly two thousand Americans surveyed - denied being upset by the massacre, Lt.William Calley was actually viewed as an American hero by most. On the day Calley was found guilty, President Nixon received more than 50,000 telegrams --running 100-to-1 in favor of clemency for Calley. A White House national poll indicated that 96 percent of Americans were aware of the charges and 79 percent of respondents disapproved of the guilty verdict. Shamefully, it was with the mandate of the American people that the President was able to free a mass murderer.

 

Victim of America... By Mrs. Le Thi Dieu In 1965 I was arrested by the Americans and brought to Hoi An. They put electricity in my vagina, on my nipples, in my ears, in my nose, on my fingers. Blood came out of my vagina. At night they put electricity inside my body and they beat me. They jumped on me with their shoes. Now when I breathe my whole chest hurts, and when I lie on the bed my body aches. They kept me for eighteen months. In 1967 I was arrested again. They brought me to the center of the village and tied me up, both hands in back, like this. They poured soapy water down my throat all night. My face and chest and belly swelled up and I lost consciousness. They took me to the base, and there they beat me and again put electricity on my body. They poured water mixed with hot peppers down my throat. I thought I had already died. Then they took me to the hospital. I stayed there a week. When they brought me back to the base, they beat me again, gave me more electricity. They tortured me for information but they got nothing. They poured water down my throat again, and I stopped breathing. They took me to a little house, like this, and one American tried to rape me. I started screaming, and he took my hair, which was very long, and he dragged me and beat me. A Vietnamese interpreter came and said, "Why do you struggle against the Americans? It won't do any good." And I said, "They arrested me, they tortured me and beat me, and now they want to rape me. How can I not cry and struggle?" The next night the American came back, when I was alone. I cried again, but he forced me to the floor and put a cloth in my mouth. He took off my pants. I couldn't scream. I went faint, and he raped me, and I couldn't do anything more. Later, the interpreter returned, and removed the cloth from my mouth. I was raped again, and I didn't feel anything more. After that, another American came-his body was smaller than the first one's. He tortured me with electricity until I lost consciousness. He gave me water and I regained consciousness. The second American kicked me on my breasts and stomach. Now, I cannot feel, cannot breathe. And he kept putting electricity in my vagina and on my fingers. I said, "I am from a poor family, how can I tell you anything?" Then I was taken to Phuoc Tuong where there was an American base, and only Americans. There, an American lady asked me some questions. I saw other Vietnamese girls. Then they took me back and tortured me again. Night and day the American soldiers tortured me. Sometimes it would be Vietnamese soldiers, but mostly it was Americans. I was locked in a prison cell with no window-I saw no sky, no land, nothing. Sometimes I had a little bit of rice. After three weeks they returned me back to the district. The first day back an American soldier came and kicked me in the mouth and my teeth came out. I asked a Vietnamese man why they beat me, I had committed no crime, and I asked for medicine. The Americans came again and beat me with a stick. I was brought back to Hoi An and kept there for a few more weeks. Every time I was questioned, they took me to another place, I still don't know where, not Hoi An. Every time they questioned me I was beaten. More electricity inside my body and again and again they raped me. Even now I bleed. I spent about four years in prison altogether. There were other girls, and we used to talk about the torture. We tried to help each other. If it were not for them, I wouldn't have stayed alive. I was released at the end of 1969 and returned to my village. Now the villagers take care of me and the government helps. I am sick, in the lungs, in the heart, and in the head. Sometimes my nose bleeds. When the weather changes, I look down, and I don't go outside. Sometimes I just lie here, and I can't breathe. Then they take me to the hospital. My fingers are very swollen and sometimes the nails fall out, from the electricity. In 1965 I was a beautiful woman, not like now. I am forty-five and I live alone, no parents, no brothers, no sisters, no husband. how can someone marry me? My father was killed by the Americans. My mother was killed by American bullets, shelled. My younger brother was killed. The boys had been playing on the road when the American came through, and shot them. (src: Then the Americans Came: Voices from Vietnam, by Martha Hesss, 1993)

 

With time My Lai was erased from our collective memory and today we are again facing the same American strategy of terrorising civilians, 'pacification', followed by cover ups. Just last week (2 Dec 2003) the US occupation troops in Iraq claimed a great victory in the town of Samarra, announcing it had repulsed an attack from uniformed fedayeen guerillas and had killed 54 of them. Yet the reality was quiet different - a visit to the local hospital revealed that all the dead and injured, including an elderly woman and a small child, were civilians!

If this vicious cycle of genocide, this old American habit, is to be stopped then we must first admit to the problem. There never was a "Great America" - just a "Great Satan". History has been screaming this truth at us, we must open our ears to it or we will all perish at its genocidal hands.
