New Financial Anti-Terror Offensive Launched by Swiss America Trading Corp.; Public Urged to Help Shut Down the 'Business' of Terrorism
New Financial Anti-Terror Offensive Launched by Swiss America Trading Corp.; Public Urged to Help Shut Down the 'Business' of TerrorismJuly 5, 2005--Swiss America Trading Corp. today announced the launch of "Operation Divest Terror," a new private sector anti-terror offensive aimed at shutting down the "business" of terrorism.
The goal is to help investors identify U.S. companies whose business activities provide revenues, equipment and technology, and political cover to governments that sponsor terrorism -- and send them a message that this is a bad business decision.
Nearly 500 such companies are presently still doing business in terrorist sponsoring states, according to Conflict Securities Advisory Group http://www.conflictsecurities.com, a D.C.-based research firm.
Much like the South Africa divestment campaign of the 1980s, this anti-terror offensive is based on two facts: (1) Companies rely heavily on the investment dollars of U.S. citizens; and (2) If we withhold those investments, companies will be forced to STOP FUNDING OUR ENEMIES.
Put simply: No big business = No Money = Less ability to sponsor terrorism.
Recently arms experts predicted a 70 percent risk of a terrorist attack somewhere in the world with a weapon of mass destruction over the next decade.
Swiss America CEO Craig Smith said, "Let's divest terrorists NOW, before they can strike again -- either physically or financially."
"Operation Divest Terror" hopes to gain wide public support based on the simple premise that most Americans do not want to invest in terrorism -- directly or indirectly -- for strong moral reasons.
"Regrettably, that's what is being done on a massive scale today," according to Smith. "Stopping such practices could send a powerful message to companies that we do not support their decision to partner with Iran, Syria and other governments that sponsor terrorism. If we convince them to pull up stakes in these terror-supporting nations, it can make a significant contribution toward winning the war on terror."
Therefore Swiss America, together with intel support from Conflict Securities, will provide investors with a free investment "Exposure Report," listing the percentage of companies held by that individual investor which are known to be doing business in terrorist sponsoring states.
DivestTerror.org http://www.divestterror.org/individualinvestor.html founder Frank Gaffney reported, "As of today, not one retail brokerage service in this country makes available to clients data on corporate ties to terrorist-sponsoring states. That must change. People have a right to decide if they want to fund companies that fund our enemies -- it's their money after all."
"Operation Divest Terror" will also provide interested investors with more information about alternative "terror-free" investments. Swiss America will make available a free copy of their "Citizen's Guide to CounterTerrorism," an educational DVD to anyone interested.
What more can individual citizens do? "Concentrate our efforts to hunt terror money in our countries, even if that implies putting under investigation the strongholds of Western capitalism: Wall Street, the city of London and the thousand offshore centers linked to them," according to Loretta Napoleoni, author of TERROR INCORPORATED http://www.swissamerica.com/article.php?=SID&art=06-2005/ 200506270906mn.txt#anchor8.
The time has come to stop feeling helpless in the fight against terrorism. Let's send a message to Wall Street that the era of greed is over and "We the People" will not participate in "commerce without morality" -- especially when it comes to funding terrorists!
