of the week – Disrupting War & Militarism in Oceania. Active solidarity. Radical practice.

Interesting that the volcano up in Indonesia is erupting and disrupting air traffic all over the Top End at the same time that Talisman Sabre is in full swing.
Reminiscent of Mount Pinatubo in Central Philippines erupting in 1991 Gulf War Offensive Invasion year and forcing New World Order to close both Clark Air Force Base and Subic Bay U.S. Navy Operations centre.
Rock On NATURE…
