Target Barclays – May 1st

We will be demonstrating outside Barclays in Penzance on Mayday from 11am – 12 before the Freeshop. Come and join us.

Barclays Banks are the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) market maker for ITT Corporation. ITT Corporation own arms manufacturer, EDO MBM/ITT in Brighton. EDO manufacture equipment to interface between fighter aircraft and the bombs that were dropped in Gaza. In January 2009 Amnesty International found fragments of a MK-82 bomb, EDO MBM/ITT make components for use with this bomb and supply them to US arms companies.

By performing marker services for ITT Barclays Bank are profiting from EDO’s complicity in civilian deaths in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq. Barclays are the largest UK investor in the global arms trade. Bankers and institutional investors are the glue that finances the state terror wreaked by the arms trade. Companies like EDO do not operate in a vacuum but are propped up by the networks of corporations and investors which constitute the global capitalist system which puts profit before peace, greed before people.

Remember Gaza – 18 January 2010

On January 18th 2010, the anniversary of the final day of the Gaza War (Operation Cast Lead) we want to encourage you all to join with us and remember the people of Gaza.

For three weeks in January 2009, the bombs rained down on Gaza. At the end of Israel’s brutal bombing campaign and ground offensive over 1400 Palestinians had been murdered, including 314 children.

We will not allow those who supported their pain and profited from their suffering to go unchallenged. We will not let this genocide be forgotten.

KAN! will be demonstrating outside Falmouth Barclays on 18 January from 1o-11am.  Barclays are the ‘Market Maker‘ for the Brighton-based EDO MBM/ITT (supplier of weapons to the Israeli Army) and the largest UK investor in the arms trade.
