very cool article about us in the #canary with a very cool video from us about the #OUPSG activism disrupting careers events at #BAE & #Cisco who are 2 #WeaponsManufacturers heavily involved in #genocide & dominating the #OpenUniversity, privatising it effectively from the inside out.
there's links in the article encouraging you to join in our actions & support us.the #OU is the biggest online university on the planet, & we're probably the smallest protest group against #warcrimes & genocide so your help is very much appreciated!

Subsidiary of Israeli Weapons Manufacturer Exits Raleigh After Activist Pressure
“If they dare return to Raleigh, we will take action to shut them down again,” said a North Carolina BDS group. -
Been taught that WWI happened because networks of agreements between countries had countries commiting to war on the basis of those agreements.
And that those who oversee international relationships have learnt from that disaster.
Now obvious that the global networks of IT corporations and international arms manufacturers have pushed many countries into supplying and complicity in Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza.
Lessons learnt?
Or profits first? -
Windfall for European arms makers.
Weapons manufacturers across Europe are rushing to secure contracts after EU countries announced plans to dramatically increase defence spending.
Share prices of European arms companies had already risen sharply following the US decision to suspend military aid to Ukraine.

A New York Times investigation conducted last year found that shooters have used bullets from the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in at least 12 high-profile mass shootings, including at a supermarket in Buffalo (2022), a movie theater in Aurora (2012), a concert venue in Las Vegas (2017), and schools in Parkland (2018) and Uvalde (2022).[1] Over a year after these troubling revelations came to light, the Pentagon is STILL allowing Lake City to pump “billions of rounds of military-grade ammunition into the commercial market.” It’s no wonder the US has such a high rate of mass shootings. #GunControl #WeaponsManufacturers #Bullets #USArmy

#Arizona's Universities are Instruments of War
The United States provides more than 70% of the funds and weapons used for #WarCrimes and #genocide in #Palestine. Arizona universities are a backbone of the war industry.
by Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Oct. 31, 2024
TUCSON, Arizona -- "When Arizona's largest universities slammed down on Palestine supporters, it was obvious they were hiding something. What they were hiding was the fact that they are thriving on war dollars.
"The most obvious is Raytheon Missiles located at the #UniversityOfArizona's Tech Park in Tucson. The less obvious are the millions in grants and contracts that both the University of Arizona and #ArizonaStateUniversity receive for technology, including cyber technology, artificial intelligence and robotics.
"While slamming down on #Palestinian support -- and shooting them with #RubberBullets in #Tucson and denying some graduation at #ASU in the #PhoenixValley -- both universities were heading up a national coalition of U.S. universities to support Israel, after the genocide was underway.
"Arizona State University in #Tempe, in the Phoenix Valley, has gone to the extreme to silence voices in support of Palestine. Besides forbidding pro-Palestine rallies, its harsh crackdown on encampments has resulted in 62 Palestine supporters now facing charges."

@sibrosan So, after reviewing articles and my notes, it seems pretty clear that #BigBanks and #WeaponsManufacturers encouraged Putin's invasion of #Ukraine because they would make an obscene amount of profit from such a war. For whatever reason, some western nations (including #Trump and the #USA), did not nip Putin's bluff in the bud, and their hesitancy emboldened #Putin. This is what happens when war profiteers are running things. No thought given to civilian deaths, destruction, and environmental damage. Same thing is going on in #Israel. We should have said, "Hey, cut it out. You're committing #WarCrimes!" but instead the US supplied even more weapons to Israel ('cuz #Raytheon / #LockheedMartin / #Boeing / #Halliburton ) need to make enough money to keep buying members of #Congress (and the #HouseOfLords). Does THAT answer your question?

#Banks and financial institutions profiting from #weapons
By Clare Carlile
Friday 7th of April 2023High street banks are funding some of the world’s most notorious #ArmsCompanies. We look at which banks are involved and what consumers can do. We also look at the wider financial industry and its links with #NuclearWeapons in particular.
How are banks financing the arms industry?
"Banks are behind almost every industry in the world, through their loans, insurance and other kinds of financing, including the arms industry.
"By funding arms companies, banks allow them to grow and innovate – developing new forms of #lethal weapons.
"In fact, banks are behind companies involved in the very worst forms of arms, such as nuclear weapons and #ClusterMunitions, despite the latter being banned by 120 countries.
"Unsurprisingly, arms companies are not generally picky about who they sell weapons to. This means that if a bank is funding an arms company, it may well be one that is selling to oppressive regimes.
Which banks are involved in financing arms companies?
"Unfortunately, many banks still finance arms companies.
"While some have said they will not fund the most destructive weapons, lots fall far short of refusing funding to arms companies altogether. And it is not just banks that are involved in the global arms trade. Lots of other financial institutions, such as investors, are also involved.
"Over three quarters of the brands included in our ethical current accounts guide lost half a mark under Arms & Military supply for their investments. This included all the five major high street banks: #Barclays, #HSBC, #Lloyds, #NatWest and #Santander.
"Banks such as Barclays, Lloyds, NatWest, Santander and #Citigroup, and other financial institutions such as #Aviva and #OldMutual have been named in relation to funding cluster munitions, nuclear weapons on the sale of arms to #Yemen.
What weapons are banks funding?
Banks funding cluster munitions“Cluster munitions are indiscriminate weapons that pose a serious threat to civilian populations during and long after an attack. They spread dozens, or even hundreds, of bomblets called submunitions over an area the size of a football stadium or even more. On impact cluster munitions kill or maim anyone that is in that area. Also, many submunitions fail to explode on impact: they remain on the ground like landmines that kill and injure civilians long after the conflict has ended.'
"120 countries have signed a Convention that that bans the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of #ClusterBombs.
"Yet, in 2018, the Cluster Munition Coalition found that financial institutions had invested almost $9 billion in companies producing cluster munitions. Citigroup and Old Mutual were both found to invest in companies involved.
"Amongst the banks named in the report, Triodos, Co-operative Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland were all praised for having divestment policies in place.
"However, Aviva, Axa, Deutsche Bank, Edentree Investment Management, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Bank of Scotland and Standard Chartered were all found to have incomplete policies in place."

We in #Australia need to bring in new #workers from #Afghanistan to #exploit.
No #Australians want to work in a #abattoir slaughting swaths of #animals endlessly all day.
Let's bring in people from Afghanistan that the #AfghanistanPapers revealed were cynically working alongside those producing and planting #IED's who were cynically working alongside #USA #weaponsManufacturers to maintain the #racket and #phonyWar/#occupation of a foreign land for #lithium and strategic purposes.
