Hello - please join Direct Action Against War,

To join our network of over 1,500 U.K and Global subscribers, please send a
blank email to the address below and then wait for, and reply to, the
confirmation message:

directactionagainstwar-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

KEY NOTE: As a subscriber you will receive less than 2 digests per week.

PURPOSE: As the world bathes in the glow of the Obama honeymoon, the 'War On
Terror' continues to be waged as the 'War Without End'. Meanwhile, the U.K now
has 9,000 troops deployed in Afghanistan, in a war which has been waged for
longer than World War II, at an intensity not seen since World War II. Military
analysts have described this war as unwinnable, yet U.S and U.K forces continue
to dig deeper into this quaqmire.

We cannot engage in wishful thinking that U.S foreign policy has fundamentally
changed. Obama's intentions may be good, but he is up against an entrenched
military industrial complex at home which shows no sign of ending the 'War
Without End'. DAAW continues to exist as an outlet for Direct Action groups and
individuals which have not made the same mistake as many other groups which have
wound up their activities.

PRIORITISE DAAW FOR EARLY NOTICE OF EVENTS: Due to our size and reach, relative
to much of the network, priortising DAAW as the place to post early notice of
Direct Action events means events can be redistributed to 100's of smaller
groups which DAAW subscribers are subscribed to. Sending events at short notice
elimates this potential gain.

We look forward to receiving your subscription request.

Thanks,

(A DAAW moderator)

Hello,

This is an invitation to subscribe to the Bristol Stop The War Coalition newsletter, and receive our bi-monthly newsletter, and other occasional emails, publicising anti-war events and activities in the Bristol area.

To subscribe to our newsletter, with 3,000+ existing subscribers, send a blank email to the address below and then wait for, and reply to, the confirmation message:

bristolstopthewarcoalition-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

PURPOSE: Bristol Stop The War Coalition was set up in Sept 2001 at the start of George Bush's 'War On Terror'. Since then, we have campaigned against the invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

With the support of the British government, these occupations have killed hundreds of thousands of people, including hundreds of British soldiers. Regardless of the outcome of elections in the USA, or here in Britain, the 'War On Terror' will likely continue to be waged as a 'War Without End'.

We believe that the people of Iraq and Afghanistan have the right to determine their own future without interference from the USA or Britain. We are also opposed to the threats currently being made to attack Iran and the sanctions which are impoverishing the Iranian people.

Under the cloak of the 'War On Terror' our Government has attacked civil liberties at home, effectively criminalising legitimate protest, and created an atmosphere in which the Muslim community lives in fear.

We look forward to receiving your subscription request.

Thanks.

Please help! ...make a BIG difference with one small action…

I’m sure many of you will be familiar with Peace News, having seen it sold at a whole host of actions and demonstrations over the years. For those unacquainted with the paper, Peace News has been the voice of the British peace movement since its inception in 1936, and has featured contributions from the likes of Aldous Huxley, Bertrand Russell and Noam Chomsky.

PN back at the newsstand

We’ve been working hard to increase the availability of Peace News and have managed to secure a distribution deal that means you can now get Peace News at your newsagents.

At present it is only stocked in several hundred shops, but with your help we can grow Peace News’ presence, and truly challenge the domination of the ever-compliant, mainstream press. Please visit your local newsagent and ask them to stock Peace News!

We have arrangements with the big three national distributors (Menzies, Dawsons and Smiths) which means that there isn’t anywhere in Britain that isn’t able to stock the paper.

If your newsagent is having difficulty making the necessary arrangements please ask them to contact David Jones at Postscriptum on 020 852 67779, who will be able to sort everything out.

Please help us!

Britain needs a non-partisan voice speaking out for peace, and with your help we can help secure Peace News’ position as a newspaper of national importance and recognition.

Please ask your newsagent to stock Peace News today, and help redress the balance in the British media.

Thank you for your support.

Dear All,

Thank you for letting us join your Yahoo group. :-)

For those of you who haven't heard of Peace News before, we are possibly the longest running anti-war paper in Britain - established in 1936. Over those years we have maintained an impressive record of featuring only the best in peace journalism, with the paper printing contributions from the likes of Aldous Huxley and Bertrand Russell, to Bruce Kent and Noam Chomsky.

Peace News is very keen to promote, and report on, direct action being taken to bring about social justice; please keep us informed of any activities your group are undertaking, by emailing editorial[at]peacenews.info .

We wish you all the best in your campaigns!

Hello - please join our Direct Action Network.

DIRECT ACTION AGAINST WAR ((DAAW))

To join our network of over 1,500 U.K and Global subscribers, please send a blank email to the address below and then wait for, and reply to, the confirmation message:
directactionagainstwar-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

KEY NOTE: Messages are sent out in roughly twice weekly digests so as not to overload your inbox.

PURPOSE: George Bush, when threatening Iran, talks of the spectre of 'World War III'. Until now, a US/Israeli military strike on Iran seemed a dangerous possibility. Now it has become an imminent reality. It is well past time to move beyond the comfort zone of A-B demonstrations (important as they are) and towards direct confrontation and opposition to our own illegal military states.

DAAW is a well moderated e-group. Most events or actions which are asking more than just the signing of another petition, or which are more than just another march from point A to point B, will be considered for approval as a form of Direct Action.

The Group Guidelines Can Be Read Here:

Dear All,

We are sorry, but for various reasons we have had to cancel the workshop planned for the 27th October. We hope to organise something in the New Year. A major issue is the dwindling band of active members so we (Graham and I) thought we would hold a 'special' meeting to discuss where we are and where we are going. This will be held at 7pm in the Mall pub -top of the Mall in Clifton Village (by the zebra crossing).

Present: Machiko, Graham, Sam, Sarah, Paul

1. Day-school

The BCAAT Day School will be held on Saturday 27th October 2007, aiming to draw in new members and supporters and provide campaigning tools to existing supporters.

2.30-2.45 - Coffee
2.45 - 3.45 - Workshops: One on Direct Action (Sam to ask round Direct Activist people, especially those who've been involved in arms trade stuff), and one on campaigning skills (using local media, mobilising supporters, etc. - by CAAT staff person)

Anyone able to help with any of this would nonetheless be very welcome!

2. Stall on Saturday October 27th

The stall will be held from 1-5pm, starting on Castle Green, though we may explore leafleting down by the harbourside. A timetable was agreed with 2 people on throughout, but more people would be very useful especially for leafleting. If anyone is able to help out on Saturday this would be extremely helpful! Please email the group! Graham to order more materials.

3. Forthcoming national CAAT events - Graham listed a number of upcoming events:

Tuesday 11th September: Protest at DSEi arms fare in London Docklands. See http://www.caat. org.uk/events/ dsei2007. php. In connection with this, Graham mentioned a group trying to raise funds to buy a tank to take part in the protest. See http://www.pledgeba nk.com/tankFundB ig.

Saturday 24th November: CAAT National Gathering, Camden Community College, Charrington St., London. See http://www.caat. org.uk/events/ gathering2007. php/

For more details of CAAT activities go to http://www.caat. org.uk

GROUP DESCRIPTION : This newsletter is produced by Bristol Stop-The-War Coalition to publicise events & activities in opposition to the so-called 'war on terror'. We are composed of groups & individuals with a wide variety of political & religious views. We are politically non-aligned, but we are also committed to oppose any racist backlash. Bristol STW is not a 'membership' organisation. Any one or group opposed to the 'war on terror' can consider themselves part of Bristol STW, or can continue to be publicised by us while choosing to organise independently of the Coalition. We don't claim (or seek) a monopoly over anti-war sentiment & activity in the city & recognise that many groups & individuals have their own ways of opposing the 'war on terror'. We are also dependent on individual donations for our funding, so if you are able to make a donation please send a cheque or postal order, payable to: Bristol Stop The War Coalition. Post: BSTWC c/o 23 Monmouth Rd, Bristol BS7 8LF. Or you can email us privately : bristolstopwar@...

Dear All,

We are sorry, but for various reasons we have had to cancel the workshop planned for the 27th October. We hope to organise something in the New Year. A major issue is the dwindling band of active members so we (Graham and I) thought we would hold a 'special' meeting to discuss where we are and where we are going. This will be held at 7pm in the Mall pub -top of the Mall in Clifton Village (by the zebra crossing).
http://www.britishpubguide.com/cgi-bin/pubsearch.cgi?results:Bristol:169

Hope to see you there..

regards

Paul

Hmm, well given that the areas of research include "advanced secure communications" there may well be a military link. Note that although the project is linked to Airbus Filton, the joint venture is with EADS, not specifically the Airbus subsidiary. So potentially it could be stuff related to the whole of EADS' stuff.

Airbus are building military transport planes for EU armed forces. At present I'm not aware of any exports further afield (although they may come), and in terms of the domestic European markets it's one of the less malign areas of procurement, so I wouldn't consider Airbbus alone to be a priority. But if it's going beyond Airbus into more general EADS stuff, there could well be some stuff of concern.

Dear all
I just saw this http://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2007/5490.html on the Bristol
Uni website. Might be worth finding out what the specifics of this are?
Airbus is a civilian programme but I think it has application in military
"heavy lift" operations?
