![]() make publicity and come over if you can Since Holland is "chairman"of the EU, the defencetop is gonna be held in Noordwijk in the Netherlands, on 17 and 18 september. On the 17th and 18th of Septembre a eurotop on defense will be held at the Huis ter Duin hotel in Noordwijk, in connection with the dutch EU presidency. The european secretaries of defense and the armslobby will confer on facilitate the creation of a competitive european army, and increase the efficiency of european armstrade. Whereas thousands of europeans marched in the streets to make their aversion to Bush' and Blair's thirst for war heard, the conditions for a more active military role for europe are created behind the scenes, whereh real power is located. We can't let such an occasion pass by without a loud and clear protest. In responce to this european defense top project Joint Strike Noordwijk (to speak in military terms) has been launched, under the codename 'Operation Omega'. The operation will be a colourful manifestation with sketches, speakers and music, completed by stands with info and food. We mean to locate an antimilitaristic commandocentre in midst of all this, from which various action groups, so called battle groups ('battle group' is a military term for a small team with a special mission), will be formed to critisize the top in a playful manner. As is the case with all eurotops, there is an atmosphere of secrecy and importancy around this one, and as little information on the real goals and intentions as possible is being released. To throw a light on the substantial critique on this eurotop, a brochure will be made (only available in Dutch), and several informative meetings will take place in at least Utrecht, Groningen, Leiden en Amsterdam. These meetings will focus especially on the current protests against the EU and the transatlantic war machinery, and perspectives for the contra-movement in the future, apart from the themes mentioned. |
