War is never a solution to human conflicts and the so-called "war on terror" is a contradiction in terms, a convenient excuse by repressive governments to progress their own oppressive agendas. Real security is possible but it cannot come from a cycle of escalating violence and repression which merely begets more violence and opposition. Wearing black clothing and adopting the silence enforced on the victims of violence, we will express our opposition to all forms of violence. We especially remember our sisters in Afghanistan. Please join us to call on the Australian Government to pursue justice through the channels of international law and to step back from lending further support to any further military violence. Apologies for any cross posting of this notice. Please forward it widely though your networks.

IT IS URGENT THAT ALL PEACE AND ANTI-NUCLEAR PEOPLE BECOME INVOLVED IN THIS CAMPAIGN IF WE ARE TO COMBAT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S AMBITION TO DOMINATE THE WORLD THROUGH STAR WARS Discussion will include the planned Australia-wide action to take place at Pine Gap from 5-7 October 2002. This will be Australia's part in the world-wide actions to take place from 4-11 October 2002 *ALL WELCOME* -- *PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR ORGANISATION IS REPRESENTED*. David is a leader in the Yorkshire CND group and an engineering professor in Leeds. He is a leader in the national CND campaign and has been instrumental in bringing the weapons-in-space issue into prominence throughout the UK. In 2001 David and the Yorkshire CND hosted the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space's international membership conference in Leeds where people came from 20 countries, including a delegate from APC(SA). He is also the treasurer of the Global Network and one of its most active and trusted board of directors members. He has previously represented the Global Network at international conferences throughout Europe. David will speak on the actions being taken, and organised, around the world against the United States' "Star Wars" plans, for which our government has shown support. He will talk about the world conference being held in the U.S. in May, and the call for International Days of Protest to Stop the Militarisation of Space, planned for 4th - 11th October 2002. In Australia a demonstration is being planned at Pine Gap from 5th - 7th October, but local actions are also needed. "STAR WARS RETURNS" - this video will be shown prior to David's talk. This powerful documentary reveals how the United States is moving to make space a new arena of war. It presents military documents declaring the U.S. intention to "control space" and from space "dominate" the world below. It exposes U.S. development programs now underway to produce space-based laser weapons. And, it shows how the George W. Bush administration and, especially, its Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, is pushing ahead rapidly with Star Wars -- that far more than "missile defense" is involved. It tells how, at the U.N., because of the U.S. program for space warfare, a vote was recently held to reaffirm the Outer Space Treaty -- the basic international law which sets aside space for "peaceful purposes." Some 163 nations voted yes. The U.S. abstained. "Star Wars Returns" explores the international opposition to Star Wars. It spotlights the strong challenge to Star Wars being made at the grassoots level worldwide by the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power In Space.
