Official
Advisors |
Official Adviser Responsibilities - Each P10K Official Adviser must approve of the Mission Statement 100%. In addition advisers are responsible for fully reviewing the Strategy of the P10K Action Plan, provide relevant recommendations and ultimately endorse the strategy. Moving forward advisers are responsible for ongoing review of P10K Official Reports which will be sent to all advisers once monthly leading up to the action. One month prior to the action Official Reports will become more frequent and once the action has begun the reports will likely be daily. Urgent matters that require any change in strategy will be marked 'URGENT ATTENTION REQUIRED' and sent directly to all Official Advisers for immediate review. In cases where action leaders must act without hesitation and advisers have not been able to review and therefore endorse the change of strategy this will be noted for the record. Any objection or dissent by Official Advisers will be respected and wherever possible these objections will result in appropriate revisions to the action strategy. As
of this writing we are in very early stages of this action, so we are
extremely proud to have the quality of advisers that we do; but we will
have much greater input from advisers of Palestinian, Israeli and Middle
Eastern descent or backgrounds in the weeks to come. Indeed we intend
to have any and all leaders who are serious about Justice and Peace in
Palestine as Official Advisers; given the fact that there is literally
nothing on the table which offers more |
|
Out of respect the P10K plan is literally being submitted to the Palestinian people for their approval, and if it were not approved by the people then the P10K plan will not be carried out. But the immense support we have received here is proof positive that virtually the entire population of Palestine deeply desires for the P10K Force to be successful. This is little surprise when our success will mean the end of Israel's brutal and illegal occupation. For the record, P10K has many 'Official' Palestinian Advisers, and these advisers have been instrumental in the development of the P10K plan. But upon the advice of several Palestinian's, and because this plan is in all seriousness a reflection of the will of the people of Palestine, we have chosen not to have one or two Palestinian's as 'Official Advisers'. t Te beauty and power of P10K lies directly in its collective approval and support, not the support of one or two individuals or leaders. Our western Official Advisers are, through their commitment to truth and justice, effectively an insurance policy to all those who support or participate in P10K, it is they who assure that we will never deviate from the P10K Mission. |
Captain |
Captain Paul Watson was a founding father of Greenpeace who left that organization in favor of more direct tactics. He ultimately founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) in 1977, as an organization dedicated to protecting the marine environment with a particular focus on halting illegal fishing activities. It accomplishes its mission through support and assistance in the upholding of international treaties, laws and conventions through the investigation, documentation and, where appropriate and where legal authority exists under international law or under agreement with national governments, enforcement of violations of these treaties, laws and conventions. The Sea Shepherds are not and has never been a protest organization. Its energy is committed to marine protection and education. With regard to the former, SSCS opposes such illegal activities as pirate whaling, poaching, shark finning, unlawful habitat destruction, and violations of established law. The Sea Shepherd’s mission and activities are guided by the International Law via the United Nations World Charter for Nature. Specifically however, sections 21-24 of the Charter provides civilian authority to act on behalf of humanity by enforcing international conservation laws where national authorities either are unable or unwilling to do so. To that end, it assists national and international bodies in the enforcement of international law under authority of the United Nations World Charter for Nature. I (Ken O'Keefe) have crewed with Paul/Sea Shepherds on two different campaigns and his commitment to the eradication of illegal fishing activities in the World's oceans has had a direct impact on me (and many others) and our commitment to the marine conservation cause and that of Truth Justice & Peace as a whole. It is safe to say that through his non-violent direct actions Paul has saved more marine life then any other individual in history. He is regarded as a living legend among countless environmental heroes and his strategic prowess and passion is a huge asset to the P10K Action. |

the best actor award in her home country Iraq, and has played at the

5 years in Algeria and Syria, before coming to Norway in 1987. During
the years in Norway she has been busy creating performances for the
theatre, working with well known's such as Issak E. Issak, Hege Rimestad,

Mørketid by Karoline Frogner and has been portrayed in the
literary production Portrait of a neighbor. Alward has also worked
as director, stage pedagogue and workshop leader in several national
and international projects.
I
(Ken O’Keefe) met Namaa on the trip to Iraq for my Human Shield
Action; she is exceptionally special human being in that she used
her national/international celebrity platform to forcefully champion
human rights in Saddam Hussein controlled Iraq; at great personal
risk to herself of course. Ultimately she was ordered by Saddam
to leave Iraq or be killed. Considering that she had already had
more then one attempt on her life in Iraq she reluctantly fled her
homeland and left her family in 1982. But amazingly, during the
buildup of the U.S. lead invasion of Iraq in 2003, Namaa requested
from the very same Saddam Hussein the authority to return to Iraq
to act as a Human Shield; which she invariably did. Namaa is one
of the most courageous and inspiring people I have ever known and
I am honoured to have her onboard the P10K Action. |
