bristol-stop-the-war-coalition | 06.02.2003 11:20

National Demos at both Fairford (Gloucestershire) & Menwith Hill (North Yorkshire) military bases have been called for Saturday 22nd March.

An additional Fairford Demo on Sunday 23rd February has also been called:  http://www.cynatech.co.uk/gwi//index.htm

PLEASE DO NOT TURN 22nd MARCH INTO A NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AT MILITARY BASES, as it will dilute our genuine desire to deny the use of US STEALTH BOMBERS from British soil.

PLEASE EITHER ATTEND FAIRFORD OR MENWITH HILL ON 22nd MARCH


1) Fairford National Demo: 22nd March
2) Menwith Hill National Demo: 22nd March
3) Fairford Demo: Sunday 23rd February


FAIRFORD NATIONAL DEMO: 22nd MARCH 2003
R.A.F Fairford (in Gloucestershire) can now house the U.S B2 Stealth bombers. In tests the B2 has released B61 & B83 mini-nuclear weapons. The B61 is for use against deeply buried targets (like Iraqi bunkers). The B83 is a strategic free-fall nuclear bomb. These are the first of a new generation of `more usable' nuclear bombs. The U.S wishes to use British soil to house these weapons of mass destruction, placing the U.K in the frontline of the U.S war for oil. Local protest in Spain deterred the deployment of B2's there. We must do the same here. DEMONSTRATE!

2) MENWITH HILL NATIONAL DEMO: 22nd MARCH 2003
FOIL THE BASE AT MENWITH HILL SPY BASE
Menwith Hill (North Yorkshire) is the largest electronic monitoring station in the world. Run by the US National Security Agency (NSA) & operating as US sovereign territory. It picks up communications from satellites covering the Middle East. It even won an award for its eavesdropping in the last Gulf War. Menwith is also a key base for the project of long-term military aggression - 'Star Wars'. To 'foil the base' (disrupt the satellite signal receivers) there has to be as much foil in the air as possible. Bring foil kites, foil balloons, foil puppets, use your imagination."
