| The site of the latest BAE Systems protest - with many more to come |
Why is it that a company like BAE Systems would not want a couple of Gandhi & Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes pasted around their Facebook page?
Why is it that a company like BAE Systems would censor any views which they disagree with, no matter how politely they are put?
Why is it that a company like BAE Systems who claims to be fighting the 'war on terror' would, in the most undemocratic fashion, silence the voices of the people?
Maybe it's because BAE Systems are one of the largest, if not the largest arms producer in the world. They sell weapons to over 100 countries including Israel. They are a threat to national security. They are a threat to human security. They are a waste of, what essentially is tax payer's money.
You don't need to do much research to find out about the instances of bribery and corruption within their ranks. BAE Systems have been caught breaching arms control regulations which aim to prevent weapons falling into the wrong hands.
Don't let BAE Systems fool you. They are not a civilian transport organisation. They are primarily involved in the arms trade.
They're not on a particular side of global conflicts. They are on every side of global conflicts.
They are in it for the money. If the wars stop, their profits go down. It's in their interest for people to keep blowing each other up.
I plan on posting more about BAE Systems. Fortunately here they cannot censor what I say, although I'm sure they will try. I hope to have a video from a recent protest outside their offices in Melbourne posted shortly.
Maybe it is time for us to stand up against this organisation. Post your city below - there is probably a BAE Systems office near you. Organise a protest, a blockade, a letter handout. Do something. Change the world.
