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


1) FAIRFORD NATIONAL DEMO: 22nd MARCH 2003
Assemble 12:00noon on the junction of High St/Park St
WEBSITE:  http://www.gwi.org.uk
USAF 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 UK in the frontline of the US 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."
