On the Secret to Life & Solidarity<br />
***35 TH ANNIVERSARY NOTE. 35 tears ago today Mark Palmer, my brother Sean and I were bashed by<br />
Queensland police in a cell of the Brisbane City watch house. Along with Mark's son Culley, Jim Dowling (who <br />
I was bashed and arrested along with Graeme's recently deceased co-defendant Bryan Law R.I.P. in the March <br />
of that year), Sean & Mark have now deployed to Rockhampton, Queensland to stand with Graeme Dunstan on <br />
trial for disabling a helicoper gunship during the offensive 2011 Talisman Saber Joint U.S./OZ military exercise. <br />
<br />
Bryan, Jim, Mark, Sean, I & many others were arrested & bashed through 1977-79 as civil liberties were suspended<br />
in Queensland in response to the growing anti-uranium (mining & export) movement. They were exporting uranium <br />
through Brisbane to (the U.S. client Shah of) ) Iran. Now they want us to go to war with Iran because they have uranium. <br />
Go figure? Once again our only crime was we were ahead of our time, as is 71 year old Graeme today facing court in <br />
Rockhampton & probable prison.<br />
<br />
The night we were bashed I was 19, I remember it clearly. Sean already had sustained a broken nose on the street.<br />
He had been arrested by the corrupt cop who had bashed me in March of that year when I linked arms with <br />
Jim Dowling for the first time. I remember the cops appearing at the door of the holding cell & one saying <br />
"Which one do you want?" , then suddenly rushing the smaller Mark Palmer. The cops bashing Mark possessed similar <br />
courage to those U.S. helicopter gunship pilots who mowed down the unarmed 11 and the father in the Collateral Murder <br />
vid from 1.5 miles away. These are the people who bullied, humiliated and tortured Bradley Manning & thousands of<br />
others in these long years of war. I have faith, that like me, they are redeemable. My godson was the speartip of these home<br />
invasions & state kidnappings in Iraq, he now does great work with Veterans for Peace in the U.K <a href="http://tinyurl.com/lm9hel8" title="http://tinyurl.com/lm9hel8">http://tinyurl.com/lm9hel8</a> .<br />
<br />
There is a souvenir of that day, besides my brother's broken nose. The English punk band "The Stranglers were playing <br />
U of Q that night & wrote a song of the bizarre scenes they had witnessed during their visit to Queensland. <br />
It made made the English Top 40<br />
"Nuclear Device"<br />

<br />
Something more significant remains from that night, & that year, to celebrate. That Jim, Sean, Mark are in Rockhampton<br />
(and Bryan sadly died there preparing for this trial) with Graeme who now faces the court as the sole defendant is a beautiful thang.<br />
Woody Guthrie said "The secret to life is showing up!" At Pentecost it is revealed that the secret is "hanging in there" together <br />
in solidarity with each other & the victims of these wars & killing machines. We have hung in there over the last 35 years. <br />
I feel privileged to do what I can for Graeme, (Bradley, Julian, Edward now Glenn & Sarah) & this beloved community from <br />
12,000 miles away. People who refuses to avert their gaze and close their ears to the screams of the victims of U.S. &<br />
Australian military helicopter gunships.<br />
