Foil the Base
North Yorkshire
March 22nd 2003
*** A day of peaceful creative direct action, music, speakers and a tour at US military base Menwith Hill, Yorkshire ***
Menwith Hill plays a crucial role in war on Iraq. As the largest electronic monitoring station in the world it picks up communications from satellites covering the Middle East – it even won an award for its eavesdropping in the last Gulf War. It is the ‘brains’ of any attack on Iraq.
Menwith is also a key base for the project of long-term military aggression - ‘Star Wars’.
To ‘foil the base’ – disrupt satellite signals at the base - there has To be as much metal foil in the air as possible. Bring foil kites, foil balloons, foil puppets – use your imagination!
All welcome.
Let’s make our demonstrations visible at the real heart of the military machine - if only a fraction of the people marching in London take action at military bases the war will become unworkable.
This time in March is the Spring Equinox – the turning of the seasons when night and day are of equal length. It’s the time to celebrate life’s ability to regenerate – to de-legitimise the military system and transform our frustration into hope and active resistance for a better world.
