Disrupt the arms trade - anti-BAE action, 3rd Nov.
BenH | 27.10.2010 14:23 | Anti-militarism | Social Struggles | Terror War | Oxford
On the 3rd November (next Wednesday), the lovely lads from BAE will be enticing Oxford grad students into a career of death-dealing!
The benefit? £24,000 - £28,000, bonus (discretionary), welcome payment, pension scheme, 25 days holiday
The cost? Working for a company that sells killing machines indiscriminately, corruptly and illegally!
Fight war, not wars!

Apologies for the short notice (and the slight misuse of the news feed), but action is needed. If you are interested, please contact me at the email address above as soon as possible. There will be a meeting (probably over the weekend) to discuss arrangements and tactics if appropriate. This will be communicated to those who get in touch and announced on here via the news feed and the calendar.
In the interest of diversity of tactics, we are considering a wide range of active and passive disruption techniques - everything from leaflet distribution, die-ins and engaging stall-holders and students to more proactive (and exciting) tactics. If you have any ideas, or preferences for a particular tactic, get in touch.
The most important thing is that the BAE stall is not allowed to operate as if it were a legitimate and morally acceptable employer. With the impending cuts threatening to plunge students into even more debt than before, arms companies will be intensifying their efforts to entice graduates into get-rich-quick jobs (and it won't be them who dies trying...)
This action is targetting BAE as part of the CAAT Universities Against the Arms Trade Ban-BAE campaign, but also present will be QinetiQ, Rolls Royce, Atomic Weapons Establishment Plc, and other unsanitary sorts - with enough interest there should be plenty of moral war-fighting on offer.
Students, workers, locals, activists, concerned citizens, anarchists, socialists of all flavours, libertarians, pacifists, war-resisters, and anyone with a moral objection to the indiscriminate corporate war machine (left, right, central or none of the above!) -- you are desperately needed.
Break the war machine that has corruptly sold arms to Indonesia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe and numerous others; given bribes to receive immense contracts; spied on CAAT activists; produced parts for Trident and other weapons of mass murder; manufactured cluster bombs that remain unexploded and untraceable for years; and committed "deception, duplicity and knowing violations of law... on an enormous scale"
