However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

In Bristol/England in Solidarity with EDO Decommisioners

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Tuesday March 24, 2009 13:52author by Ciaron - Plowshares/Catholic Worker Report this post to the editors

They're in There For Us, We're on the Loose for Them!

As we marked the 6th. anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, we remembered the 1 million Iraqi dead. 2 million exiled, 3 million internally displaced, the multitude of wounded, the 5,000 coalition troops killed and 30,000+ permanently wounded - used as cannon fodder in the plunder and pillage.

As the war has escalated and expanded into Lebanon, Somalia, Pakistan, Palestine - what remains relevant in terms of response is nonviolent resistance in the imperial hearltand and proactive solidarity that sustains such resistance.

My hunch is that there is not much anti-war resistance, because there's not much solidarity. My experience is that mainstream anti-war coalitions of parties and NGO's proactively marginalise anti-war resisters. If we are serious about resisting this war we need to be proactive in our solidarity with our imprisoned anti-war resisters and those is jeapoardy before the courts. It is this hunch that took me to Bristol/England last weekend in solidarity with the EDO Decommisioners who took nonviolent direct action at an arms supplier to Israel while Gaza was being bombed

Over the weekend, I was able to meet seperately with Bob, Tom, Orella and Harvey - as repressive bail conditions restrict them from communicating with each other. All wonderful, impressive people who have risked their liberty to disable the war machine during the recent killing spree on Gaza at EDO arms company in Brighton - a supplier to the U.S., British and Israeli militaries.

Over the last six years as lives have been lost companies like EDO have been making a killing!

On Saturday I joined a lively crowd in a solidarity noise demonstration as we circled the downtown Victorian Jail in Bristol where Elijah James Smith of the EDO 6 is being held having been denied bail.

On Sunday night, we showed excerpts of the doc "Route Irish" http://www.indymedia.ie/route_irish_documentary at the Kebele Co-op http://www.kebelecoop.org/ and with 25 folks, I spoke of experiences of jails and courts from the ANZUS/B52 Plowshares in the U.S., the plowshares trials in England and the Pitstop Ploughshares in Ireland. An interesting discussion followed about prison solidarity, plowshares/disarmament/decomissioning traditions, resistance to the war & the arms trade and ways to support the EDO 6 in jail and out as they head to trial. There were a number of folks present experienced in the varied ways of resistance and solidarity and a lot of good insights shared.

Some simple ways to help is to access the EDO 6 website a and find out from them
