ACA Oct 28 Protest Action against Japan Defense Agency

Meaningless war

Aggravation of the situation of the Afghanistan circumference area is being enhanced after the U.S.-British army Afghanistan air-strikes start of the predawn on October 8. The damage to the "civilian" also strangely called "an explosion by mistake" also spread, and even the air raid to the hospital which issued 100 or more persons' wounding and killing was reported. The ground war also started on the 19th and the dead by the side of several persons' U.S. Forces were also checked. War fire is escaped and, of course, tomorrow's life is not guaranteed to the refugees who did the merit breakthrough of the international border.

This war that was able to be begun as "war to exterminate terrorism offender" was a meaningless war in the start to the meaning. Next the cruel nature of the Taliban government projected [ the image of bin Laden who established the gun ] on the screen repeatedly, and the extermination game was justified in the beginning. however, the thing which terrorism should not disappear from the world in the place which bin Laden who cannot show mastermind's proof satisfactorily now, either was killed [ place ], and Afghanistan was returned [ place ] to burnt ground, and made the Taliban government destroy completely -- too much -- obvious -- it is .

Testing for global capitalism

The true meaning which the violence turned to the most poor society in the world from the strongest army in the world has is exactly a role of huge testing thrust [ world ] that it is whether it is recognizing the logic of the present world order and globalization which inclined toward the degree very much. The truly doubtful name "the infinite justice" attached to military strategy and "everlasting freedom" expresses a role of testing of this war directly. It is because testing is so effective that it is meaningless and doubtful. United States and world capital and nobody are asking for the recognition from real intention etc. Don't advocate how to tilt a head in the shadow how much, and supporting war and the present world order externally and an objection. The world is asked for it.

Testing asks for blood

The "terrorism retaliation war support bill" which is the special legislation to which participation of the Self-Defense Forces to the Afghanistan war is urged tends to pass the House of Representatives on the 18th of this month, also tends to finish deliberations in the House of Councilors soon, and tends to go to enactment. This bill is the de facto participation-in-the-war declaration to which the Self-Defense Forces are made to join the multinational force who develops in Afghanistan now in the form of arms and ammunition transportation, or medical activity.

There is no meaning in the answer "that is not a battlefield" etc. in order that soldiers may show" "flag -- because blood is shed toward there It is not a problem what meaning the Afghanistan war itself has any longer. For the position of the state in the world order recognized only by what "a flag is shown only for", soldiers kill and are killed. The Japanese government also stepped on testing.

Testing is thrust also in the face of soldiers. The most violent testing whether to go to murder and the battlefield killed in order to keep the world order smeared with discrimination and oppression, or to refuse a battlefield while the brand of a "cowardly person" is pushed

The system of an army is huge control equipment of the state which prepares this violent testing daily. Therefore, we go to the Ichigaya Defense Agency which is the symbol of the Japanese army-Self-Defense Forces. Don't give a Self-Defense-Forces soldier murder and the role killed as an advance guard of global capitalism.

Join and make solidarity to Oct 28 Defense Agency struggle.
