RAF Tornado Disabled, More Arrests at USAF Fairford, UK

RAF Tornado Disabled, More Arrests at Fairford

RAF Tornado Disabled, More Arrests at Fairford

Ploughshares activist Ulla Roder entered RAF Leuchars Air Base early Tuesday morning in north-east Fife and damaged a Tornado plane with a hammer, putting it out of action. The Tornado's at Leuchars are important in the UK's mobilisation for war against Iraq, and the base, whose motto is "Attack and Protect", is believed to have been involved in the bombing of Iraq since 1991. Also on Tuesday 11th, 9 'citizen weapons inspectors' cut through fences at RAF Lakenheath and cycled around the base, some locking on and obstructing the runway for 3 three hours.

Prior to Ulla's action, early on the morning of Monday 10th March, two other anti-war activists had breached security at RAF Leuchars in order to inspect the base ahead of its likely illegal use in an attack on Iraq. The action followed a demonstration at the weekend with around 200 people protesting at the base - Full report.

Also at the weekend another 20 people were arrested at USAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, after a group broke into the base (pics + report). A number of people made it onto the runway and delayed the take off of a transport plane (report 2) - landing lights were also disabled. Recently at USAF Fairford a new razor wire fence (pics) was erected by US soldiers right through the bomb spotting camp (pics), and in what is believed to be its first use, Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 has been authorised at Fairford in an attempt to control legitimate peace protests.

Last Thursday night (13 March 2003) two members of the Non-Violent Direct
Action group Trident Ploughshares, Dr. Margaret Jones and Paul Arthur
Milling, cut their way into RAF Fairford and disabled the support vehicles
for the fleet of B52 bombers. Some thirty to thirty-five vehicles were
damaged, many of them severely. The vehicles included three fuel tankers
and a large number of low-loaders used to carry bombs to the aircraft.
Damage included cutting hydraulic lines & brake pipes, cutting electrical
cables, slashing tyres, and breaking dials & windows.

They have both been
charged with conspiracy to commit criminal damage, aggravated trespass,
obstructing a lawful duty, and with committing £50,000 worth of criminal
damage. This is the largest amount of damage against the build up to war in
England so far. Dr. Margaret Jones is a freelance writer from Bristol and
formerly a lecturer at the University of the West of England. Paul Arthur
Milling, a Quaker activist from Birmingham was previously a magistrate and
former Sheriff of York.


They are due to appear before Gloucester Crown Court at 10.00 am on 21
Friday March. Both will plead "lawful excuse" for the action. Supporters at
the court would be very welcome.
Letters & cards of support would be much appreciated:-

She only did it out of peer pressure, to impress the fanatics who have brainwashed her with thier communist lies. I've seen it ALL before. I was once like her. Don't be fooled people, use your common sense.

Your double agent page managers erase this opinion issue every time get it on here, both as a comment or an piece on the news.

They have done this 5 times. It was wiped out here before also. So this is not a comment on this article - this is a way of getting past the people who repress opinions who run your news here.

If you got a chance to see this expose of the people dictating on you news project here, it is because I have changed all the key words that their computer recognises and only try to get on as a comment now.

I wonder how many more that you never see that your infiltrator editors erase and suppress if any of them dare to criticize the Israelis?


Why not Drop Your Israeli occupation supporters and get the American female activist's slaughter on the front page where it should be.

The u.s. presidential candidate whose initials are P. B'n and a congressman (the words of whose name they have programed into their computer server to erase this post) both have pointed out how the american pro-occupation block and occupation-supporting politicians are a central force in driving the u.s. to war with Iraq.
Perhaps they both are simply against the race of Israel? If so How come Just now when the these sort of politician are Pushing this country on to War with Iraq how come just at this time these two men have been seem now as biased? Is this something to think about....


Pro-israel congress members more than five of them called for the congressman to resign because he said their political block was one of the forces most responsible for speaking to send us into the Iraq war.
That would be ok except that he mentioned the truth about an interest-block of pro-occupation leaders. So is it all right to say so if those are the facts?
The congressman and the presidential candidates both bigots?

Do you think so? So? They could be and so could I. But how about these US scholars of the same extraction then? N'm Ch'sky says the same thing as does Ed Her'....the authors about the book of how the vote is programmed in people". And could Nrm'nfinklestyn,Ph.D historian and sociologist athuntercollege in nyc and Israelshm'r.... u.s. academician and essay writer. go to his essay on Jeffrense 's page , use his last name to get there on the net. Put it in google because all these names and addresses are by computer programmed suppressed and erased on here every time they are written here now.


Do you really believe the charges that these eminent educators of the same race as those that they are cricicizing, are all bigots?

Look at the behavior of those people running this service for you! They are erasing almost everything here critical of israel or critical of the supporters of the occupation.

Wouldn't it be best to drop your own fascist occupation supporting bigots on this newservice; right here?

The bosses that run these web pages leave all the posts every callous praising the occupation bigot on these pages ; but they erase me.

So why is this war happening......

The reason that it is happening is because the occupying country in the middle east doesn't want their biggest opponent left in the mideast and because rumsfeld bush cheney and their partners in oil have got a scheme by which they will definetly benefit from the war. And arab rage and frustration at the states bankrolling of Sharon's people to continue to destroy palestinians was the whole cause the destruction in manhattan. Most of us know that but those people approving of the devastion and larceny of the 'territories' will always deny it.

To confirm this for yourself you can go to the US maine page of this news collective and see the oils of war author, Paul Donahue an editor of an american grass roots party magazine.

How it works as of now is; Saddam has oil exploration contracts and supply agreements with France, Russia, Canada, Germany. Notice that he has none w/ the u.s..what happens is that the Bush's Iraqi opportunist government people have made a bargain with Cheney. All prior committments will be broken and they will give those bargains to Bush's, Cheney's and Rumsfeld's companies. That is , if Bush puts them in power in Saddam's place. If you doubt what I am saying is hard fact then check that page in u.s. maine part of this service.

Saddam whose fighting ability is totally crippled is not the least the cause of this war.

But what about the killing by bulldozer of the american girl?

What about all the attempts to trivialize her killing by people allowed to post here while I am prevented from posting here.

The other areas of this news collective service that are decent such as minniapolis and the seatle pages put this news on the front page. Here it is almost hidden. Why do you think that is?

And they pick the news accounts of it that are the most hypocritical about the slaughter being an accident.

Not like:

A peace protester intentionaly crushed by an army bulldozer in Gaza.
While homes are being destroyed and American resistor is also destroyed.
From the newspaper beginning with G in Britain by a C. McG.....

The IDF bulldozer compressed a female peace activist to death in the Gaza , in what witnesses described as a deliberate slaughter. Rachel Cor...(giving her young age ] suffered and died as she attempted to prevent the military destroying homes in the a refugee camp, one of the most dangerous in the occupied Palestine.
"She was standing on top of a pile of earth," said another activist, Richard Pur..., who was a few feet away :: The driver cannot have failed to see her. As the blade pushed the pile, the earth rose up. Rachel slid down the pile. It looks as if she got her foot caught. The driver didn't slow down; he just ran over her. Then he reversed the bulldozer back over her again. Rach..... was very brave.
Activists said the bulldozer had approached from several metres away and that Ms Corrie, who was wearing a brightly coloured jacket, was waving and they were shouting at the driver to stop but them he ignored.

Other observers said another protester had been slightly injured about half an hour earlier when the same bulldozer knocked him into the wire that was barbed.

Rachel was one of eight foreign volunteers, four from the u.s. and four from Britain with the a world wide protest agency seeking to block house crushings.

I have altered many words here to escape the program on here that automatically washes out anything I put up here. Do you really want these kind of people running this service. You may be next.
Purs... , said that earlier an Israeli tank protecting the bulldozer had attempted to drive protesters away with warning shots and teargas. But there had been no trouble immediately before Ms Corrie was smashed.

At the local hospital, doctors, said she had died from skull and chest smashing. The idf said the death was an accident and the driver couldn't see her. Will you put up with dictators on here who suppress people putting their opinions on here?

The idf said that we are dealing with a group of protesters who are acting very irresponsibly, putting everyone in danger, the Palestinians themselves and our forces through purposely placing themselves in a dangerous place in fron't of bulldozers.

Actually those who protest injustice are dealing with evil thugs who care nothing about decency or truth as long as they can steal the Palestinians country.

Watch , the people suppressing me on here are doing all they can to hide these issue because it supports the theft of palestine.

Speak up against this suppression on here.

The area for homeless palestinians is surrounded by Settler settlements and armyforts. Native civilians say they are frequent victims of random shootings by the military and settlers. Often among the dead are children . A Palestinian human rights worker in that camp, said it was ironic that an American should be killed by a US made bulldozer; America is providing Israel with tanks and bulldozers, and now they killed one of their own women.

I left 7 links to picture of all this on my post but if i put them here , your newsservice's dictators program will erase me. There are a number of covert infiltrators running your site here and only letting you see what they want you to see. If people were being shut off on a page that I was on, I would say very clear things about that.
