                      Trails of blood to the weapons manufacturers

                      The signs of our times – Trails of Blood

                      Lament for the Victims of War Crimes, War Criminals & Corporations
                      Sunday morning we will attend a set of corporations that profited from the nazi, fascist Germany. These companies extended the war by creating armaments. They facilitated profiteering by transporting looted goods. Now they ‘pop up’ in Brisbane, major sponsors of the Land Forces weapons expo; major new factories with Qld and Federal subsidies. When we facilitate weapons factories we embed ourselves in genocide and war crimes. And where are these factories located? The aptly named Roberts Smith St, Redbank.

                      Let’s change the signs of the times. Leaving Yuggera Hall – car pooling – no later than 8.45am. We will have a van and some car share. Join us.

                      May 30th depart 8:45am

                        CLIMATE ACTIONS DAY
                        Weapons companies are
                        – stealing funds from climate action
                        – destroying ecosystems
                        – contributing massively to emissions
                        – polluting air, land and sea
                        – supporting extraction of natural resources- often stolen from First Nations people
                        Oh, yes and killing people.

                            Smash Patriarchy, Taste the Rainbow

                            War expresses peak toxic masculinity.
                            We are its antidote.
                            Queers, freaks, femmes, carnies, gays, lesbians, trans, nonbinaries, artists, misfits and all who love us: let’s show the war machine how we play. Bring your colours, costumes and your love of life for a fierce and fabulous celebration of the future we are bringing.

                            We reject the culture of manhood as violence. We know that humans are capable of magnificence. On the last day of Land Forces, we are bringing a carnival of chaos.
