1) High Profile Sabre Rattling

2) WAR WITHIN DAYS OR HOURS: They only have weapons on or near planes when it's for real - It's just too dangerous otherwise.

1) FAIRFORD UPDATE & CONTINUOUS VIGIL
Related Website:  http://www.gwi.org.uk
14+ B52 Bombers have now arrived at USAF Fairford, & the B2 Stealth Bombers are expected soon. Vigil continues @ Gate 10 despite. It's vital that the Vigil continues so that flights in & out of the base can be monitored, & information can keep being relayed back to our supporters. Moral is high & spirits are good despite the fact that
protesters are been denied the right to make fires to keep themselves warm. In order maintain the Vigil it's necessary to set up a shift system. If people can get up there
then the handful of hardcore demonstrators from the nearby peace camp can take some time out to warm up & eat properly. So please get up there now if you can, & find out how you can help. The press are there too, so it's a good opportunity to air your views.
PLEASE USE THE MAPS & DIRECTIONS BELOW.


2) FAIRFORD ACTIONS : PICNIC 4 PEACE : SAT 8th & SUN 9th MARCH
Related Website:  http://www.gwi.org.uk
MEET: High Street/Park St @12noon on both days (see map of village)
In order to bring more focus to the continuous Vigil & shift system now being set up at GATE 10 (see map of the base above), we're holding a 'Picnic 4 Peace' on Sat
8th & Sun 9th March. It was felt that this would be a good approach by the people maintaining Vigil, as they want to bring people to Gate 10 on a continuous basis within a good natured context. It's a fair walk from Fairford village to Gate 10, but there are parking restrictions around the Gate, so it is advised that people park in the village & walk down. If you want others to walk down with once you get there, then meet at the junction of High St/Park St @12noon on both days for a lively procession to the gate, but please also go down now if you can.
PLEASE USE THE MAPS & DIRECTIONS BELOW

B52 Bombers have now begun to arrive at Fairford. These are the same notorious machines which were used to carpet bomb Vietnam, so don't believe the lies about precission strikes. Fairford can now also house the US 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 US 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!
