A Brighton anti-war activist awoke yesterday morning to a dawn raid from Special Branch.

The anti-war activist was arrested for Harrassing company directors of Edo/Mbm.

When taken to Hollingbury custody suite and placed before the desk sergeant PC AB394 Bialoszewski of special branch stated that the activist had been arrested and his address spun due to information being downloaded from companies house about Directors of Edo/Mbm Brighton and due to this he was responsable for Harassment of David Jones of Hastings ,company director of Bomb makers Edo/Mbm.

Bialoszewski also mentioned continuing Noise demonstrations against Edo/Mbm every Thursday in Mouslecombe Brighton, which he added were intended to Harrass company directors.

Well what a sad world this must be if we cant even demonstrate outside a company responsible for the death and destruction of innocent women, children and men with the evil equipment they knowingly churn out of home farm road, Brighton.

In a statement the activist stated that "we must be willing to pay the highest prices and go all the way to stop death and destruction of innocent lives"
He also mentioned that he couldn't understand why they took his entire music and cd collection and 35 copies of a film about the struggle in palestine.

Come and join the struggle lets shut the bastards down.

They're scared . . .

The authorities are just stamping on a fire and spreading the sparks - their repression will boost our resistance. As Philip Larkin (I think) wrote "kick up the fire and let the flames break loose" (a metaphor for any dull cops trawling my ISP records).

Spread the word about EDO MBM - based in Brighton they make parts for the Paveway series of bombs aswell as bomb-release mechanisms for F-16 and Tornado warplanes amongst others. Their products are used in Iraq (confirmed by the MD Dave Jones, who's 'proud') and sold to mega-arms corporations Lockheed Martin and Raytheon who sell to all sorts of dodgy regimes (like Saudi and Israel, as well as the US/UK).

The company is based on the Home Farm industrial Estate off Lewis Road, Moulsecoomb, Brighton. We hold noise demos from 4-6 every Thursday. If you're not near Brighton but would like to help out contact the campaign at  smashedo@hotmail.com - theres sure to be stuff you can do near you - EDO must have suppliers etc.

accessing public data on the net? outrageous

09.12.2004 23:08

You seriously mean SB nicked someone for downloading public info from
 http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/
I must have been looking in the wrong section then - coz I just searched "EDO" and found a firm with the right address and the CH website provides such obviously dangerous information as the date they last filed tax returns or something, and that they changed their company name a couple of times over the years.

Who are the special branch?

The Special Branch exist to counter "terrorism and extremist political activity" - do you oppose the war and use the internet? You're an extremist, and so are 60+% of the population - 'we had to destroy the village to save it' logic rears its head again!

The SB help prevent "Subversion of the democratic process", which is presumably a euphamism for 'helping to keep the public out of decision making'. So, 'the Power of Nightmares' tells millions that al qaeda doesn't exist as 'anti-terrorist' forces are used against peace activists - we can only assume when politicians say 'terrorism' they mean 'dissent' or 'popular deomcracy'.

Does Company House supply terrorists with data? Does that not violate the Terrorism Act?
