[thewallmustfall at riseup.net]

hi

I'm on IRC now if you want to talk about the EDO topic

> Eh up,

>> ...I am happy to create the page once we agree on it.
>>
>> how do we get agreement ?
>>
>
> I guess we have reached an agreement if no one voices any objections on
> this list in the next few days.
>
>> ...  We will need to find > the links to all the Smash EDO related
>> articles to go on the page and> we'll manually need to tick the
>> appropriate tickbox in admin on all of
>>
>>> them.
>>>
>>
>> I would be happy to help with ticking the boxes in admin to create the
>> page
>>

> Cool. It's easy enough to do but involves a lot of manual ticking and
> clicking..
>
>> here's a brief intro (brief enough??)
>>
>
> Eh.. Thats way too long but I would suggest that you use this text for a
> startpage special which can then sit at the top of the page. This can
> also include background links etc. For example like the SOCPA action

>
> The description is normally only a short sentence. Have a look at the
> climate camp action page for example:
> https://indymedia.org.uk/en/actions/2008/climatecamp/
>
> The description there reads: " The climate camp to be held near
> Kingsnorth early August 2008 - see www.climatecamp.org.uk " at the top
> of the middle column, just under title.
>
> I'd say we wait until Friday and if no one has objected by then we
> create it. Maybe we could both meet in the chatroom (IRC) on Friday and
> get it created and populated with articles.
>
> Also, in the meantime you could create a wikipage and list all the
> titles and links of the edo related articles. Like I did for the Ocean
> Defence topic page:

>> Every bomb that is dropped and every bullet that is fired in the name of

>> ITT/EDO MBM are a unit of a US corporation manufacturing weapons by the

>>
>> Smash EDO are residents of Brighton who came together to resist the war
>> in
>> Iraq and the occupation of Palestine. People in Brighton were sickened
>> to
>> learn that a company in their home town was not only profiting from, but
>> making possible the illegal and immoral slaughter in Iraq. Smash EDO is
>> a
>> grassroots response to EDO's complicity in murderous crimes - a banner
>> under which people opposed to those crimes can rally.
>>
>> As the UK government blindly follows the US regime, citizens of the UK
>> have a special responsibility to prevent crimes around the world being
>> committed in our name, with our taxes, with weapons built in our
>> communities.
>>
>> EDO are running scared - spending millions of pounds trying to silence
>> activists through the courts. Dozens of the directors of EDO MBM have
>> resigned due to the four year long direct action campaign and EDO has
>> closed down part of its operation in Brighton. In December 2007 EDO
>> Corporation was sold to ITT - It remains to be seen whether the business
>> in Brighton will continue.
