| Queen Noor – Global Zero Appeal |
| What an exciting week! On September 22, 2009, the United Nations Security Council unanimously passed a resolution calling for the elimination of all nuclear weapons. Her Majesty Queen Noor was at the meeting representing Global Zero and the millions around the world who believe that when it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.
Her excitement is contagious. She said we had to seize this historic moment while we have the momentum and get people around the world to join the movement for global zero. www.globalzero.org |
| CAAB welcomes President Obama’s decision to abandon plans to develop Missile Defense in Poland and the Czech Republic. Congratulations to the many people who opposed this – persistently and creatively – to help bring about this result.
However it is important to bare in mind that Missile Defense is a long way off from being ‘abandoned’. These videos are for the pro-Missile Defense lobby. CAAB takes a very different view knowing that the truth is that Missile Defense is an offensive system for US military and economic domination in space – and the US militarisation of space – space being the ‘high ground’. There are some interesting articles on this website setting out what Missile Defense is actually about and it is developing at an alarming rate. |
| It’s time to shut down US bases abroad |
| Washington cannot afford its extensive network of overseas military bases because of the world financial crisis, says David Vine from the National Project on Foreign Military Bases. There are 12 bases in England which are occupied and under the complete control of the US authorities – they pay no rent. There are no leases on US bases here (in the video above David Vine says that foreign bases pay rent). |

| Permanent US bases in Iraq |
| Please watch this video. It gives a very good overview of the extent of the US military bases empire world wide but specifically concerns the permanency of US bases in Iraq. It was made before Barack Obama became President. However it is alarmly pertinent to day – not least because Robert Gates (who was Secretary of State under the Bush Presidency) is retained as Secretary of State by Barack Obama. |
