announcements copied out of an email about forthcoming actions and events more or less associated with Scottish CND. Some of them a bit vague in date make the announcement preferably published as an article rather than on protest net.
Scottish author Alasdair Gray (Author of ‘Lanark’ and other influential Scottish novels) supports “No More Lies – No More Lives” protest against the US occupation of Iraq and for Justice for Palestine on Saturday 27th September:
“I support the Scottish Coalition for Justice Not War for reasons too many and well known to repeat here. People who think it right to ignore these reasons believe the USA, with British support, can use their unprecedentally vast store of destructive weapons to police the world, without United Nations support.
No single state or group of states can do such a thing: especially when managed by governments whose main care is to increase the profits of the richest private companies within their borders.”

Depleted Uranium actions Leaflets about the use of Depleted Uranium are now available from Scottish CND. These new leaflets make the connection between what is happening at the Dudnrennan DU test ranges in Galloway, SW Scotland as well as what has happened in Iraq and the links with US plans for more nuclear weapons and weapons in space.
Please lobby your MSP to support motion S2M-248 against the use of Dundrennan for testing a new US electromagnetic “SuperGun” by Green MSP Chris Balance. This gun will be able to fire projectiles at 7500 mph – a speed of several miles a second! It is suspected that one possible reason for the SuperGun being tested in Scotland and not in the US is that it is
intended to fire DU with it.
MSPs supporting the motion to date include: Mark Ballard, Mark Ruskell, Sandra White, Frances Curran, Carolyn Leckie, Stewart Maxwell, Rosie Kane,
Tommy Sheridan, Rosemary Byrne, Robin Harper, Patrick Harvie, Colin Fox,
John Swinburne, Shiona Baird, Eleanor Scott, Alex Neil, Elaine Smith.
Advance Notice: Sunday 12th October “Star Wars and the US drive to global domination” Conference examining US plans for “full spectrum dominance” 12 noon to 5pm Woodside Halls, Glenfarg Street, Glasgow. £3 or £5.
