Greenham - Peace News online archive published

Puce Knees | 12.09.2006 15:39 | Anti-militarism | Gender

This month, to mark the 25th anniversary of what was to become Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, Peace News delves into its archives from the 80s and publishes a new Greenham archive with almost 40 articles online (more to follow when we find the time/energy/volunteers).

During the 1980s Peace News created a space for news stories from and about the camp and associated actions (Common invasions, blockades, Cruisewatch, "visits" to related bases, solidarity actions etc) and also for a wider debate - about everything from "why women only" and what constituted "nonviolent", to how wide/narrow the focus of anti-nuclear weapons campaigining should be.

Fast forward 25 years to now and it seems that, before efore this year is out, the government will make public what it intends for Britain's Trident nuclear weapons system.
As in the 1980s, both women-only and mixed activist groups are continuing the tradition of "creative" and practical nonviolent direct action today (eg the Aldermaston Women's Peace Camp(aign), Block the Builders and Falsane 365) and Peace News continues to report on their actions and campaigns.

To celebrate the past and encourage more spanners for the current works, PN has published selected Greenham material from the archives. Read and be inspired, check out those bad 80s haircuts, laugh/cry at how some debates just go round and round - for decades! - and remember the carefree activist days before annoying little things like police bail, SOCRAP, s44, FIT and so on :)

Ultimately we'd like to publish all the Greenham material (well, all the PNs since 1936 really), so if there's anyone out there who fanices a day (or more) helping us out (boring things like finding articles and scanning them to pdf), then drop us a line.

The past should not be some nostalgic, rose-tinted story, but should inspire and equip us for the struggles of the future.

SMASH THE MUSLIM ARAB NAZI TERRORISTS

12.09.2006 16:15

just wondering some questions about islam...

apart from blowing up trains, buses, planes, yousrselves, buildings, murdering children, women, Jews and Christians (referred to as "infidels"); destroying the world trade centre and most unemployed/unemployable people is there anything that the muslims have done to contribute uesfully to society?

Only the muslims justify such disgusting acts of murder and terrorism for their false religion the worship of the pagan g-d allat; where the arabic allah comes from.

Let us destroy this pagan religion, the religion which causes all the problems in the world, from poverty to terrorism, the only religion which justifies murder, rape, suicide because “we are occupied” and “being mistreated because of “islamophobia””

More importantly, if you can think of something that the arabs and muslim arabs have contributed to the world I would please like to know. Don’t say the oil that the filthy arabs sit on because they are too fucking stupid to work out how to refine it; they’re too busy raping their wives and eating lambs they murdered the night before. It was the Americans and yes, the arabs hate to admit, the Jews who created fractional distillation of oil into naptha, kerosine and oil and implemented the factories and refineries in the muslim arab nazi terrorist pig countries. In fact, as Yasser Arafat said “ I am proud for my one true invention. The creation of plane hijackings”. Arabs also have a wonderful mind for blowing up all sorts of transport BUT they also invented sucidie bombing – ingenious! They are sooo clever are’nt they! “It’s because of EEZ—RAAA-ELLL and OOOLLLAH will deal will them” “diii ammmericaaans are infeeedells!!!” as the arabs so often say in the pitiful stupid minds.

PALESTINE HAS NEVER, WILL NEVER EXIST. ISRAEL WILL BE FREE FROM THE RIVER AND TO THE SEA AND AS OVER 6 MAJOR WARS WITH MORE THAN ONE MUSLIM ARAB NAZI TERRORIST ARMY HAS SHOWN, THE JEWS ARE ABLE TO FIGHT THE MUSLIM ENEMY AND DESTROY THE MUSLIM HOPE OF DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWS. ISRAEL WILL BE FREE FROM THE RIVER AND TO THE SEA; DESPITE THE PATHETIC MUSLIMS AND COMMUNISTS WHO THINK OTHERWISE. EVERY WAR, EVERY VICTORY, EVERY INCH OF ISRAELI LAND IS FOR THE JEWS.

AND HENCE NO, THERE IS NO “VICTORY TO THE INITFADA” AS EVERY INTIFADA HAS BEEN CRUSHED. WHETHER IT MEANS BUILDING A WALL OR CRUSHING THEIR PATHETIC CLAY HOMES WE ALWAYS WIN. UNFORTUNATELY THE LEFTIST EHUD SMOLMERT DOES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH TO WIPE THE MUSLIM FILTHY ENEMY OFF THIS PLANET.

SO LETS FACE IT – THESE DISGUSTING PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THAT WE WANT DEMOCRACY, WE REJECT ISLAM, THE TERRORIST, MURDERING RELIGION.
