Bomspotters defy militaries of air force base Kleine Brogel
On January 31st a group of anti-nuclear activists entered the air force base of Kleine Brogel in Belgium. They were astonished that for more than an hour they could walk undisturbed on the landing strip, through an open gate and up to the aircraft hangars where the nuclear weapons are stored. Only after one and a half hours all of the activists were detained on the base and their cameras and mobile phones confiscated.

Holy man is bombspotter
Saint Nicolas (a local holy man, who comes around the 6th of December, gives presents to good children and punishes children who behaved badly by putting them in his bag) and four of his helpers entered the airforce base of Kleine Brogel on the 4th of December. They wanted to put the US nuclear weapons in their bag. The Saint was very displeased about his arrest and asked for help from other people, thereby giving the signal to start a series of Bombspotting actions.

War starts from Europe
14-15 November 2008: European day of action against military intervention infrastructure.
Europe is at war. The bombs are not falling in Europe. They are falling several thousands of km away in Iraq and Afghanistan. But still war is waged from Europe. Europe serves as a launch pad for military interventions worldwide. The frameworks differ: NATO, EU, US coalition of the willing, UN. The targets also vary: Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Chad, etc. But the departure points don’t: military bases and civilian airports and harbours in Europe.
We call for a European day of nonviolent direct action against war on 14-15 November 2008 against military intervention infrastructure.
War Starts from Europe. Let's Stop War from Europe. Take action at your local military bases and installations used for military interventions! Let’s resist military globalisation together!
