Quote of the Week:

"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

"But we will all be taken down with it."

Good news from Ireland
The second trial for the Pitstop Plowshares 5 collapsed yesterday upon the revelation that the judge had attended President Bush's inauguration in 2000 and been invited in 2004. Since Bush was indirectly implicated in the trial, the judge was apparently forced to dismiss the jury and declare a mistrial. This is an impressive example of how the Plowshares movement continues to push the envelope in confronting the military machine and the criminals behind it.

But this isn't just a theoretical case for me. Over the past year I've gotten to Ciaron O'Reilly, one of the defendants, through my involvement with the London Catholic worker here in London. I also helped organise a fundraiser and solidarity evening here in London two weeks ago at the start of the trial. It's an exciting movement to be able to support and feel a part of in some way.

You can read the original account of their action on the Peace News website.

Update

You can see a video of interviews with Ciaron and another defendent on Indymedia: http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2005/11/7592.php
