On 6 January 2010, CIA Agent Cosy Rosy had had clearly enough of doing support for Chrigi, Nora, Juan and Joris, who had by then been in prison in Copenhagen for 20 days for wanting to protect the climate. She decided to take a break and help eat a traditional King Cake instead. She discovered the king in the cake, put on a crown and – just for fun – posed for a photo with a „Free chrigi“ message. One hour later, Chrigi and the 3 other climate protectors were freed from prison.

It turns out, that Cosy Rosy was mistaken for the Danish Queen! Which is obviously what prompted the release.

As for rumours that the Greenpeace activists were freed because their imprisonment was purely due to the police being angry that they had failed their security job at the Royal Gala Dinner (where Heads of States were munching scallops at taxpayers cost) and wanted to take some revenge for their frustration and were slowly but surely running out of arguments for keeping the four in prison: This is of course totally ridiculous. You might just as well claim that our CIA agents are bullshit – when clearly all they shit is cow-shit.

Nora, Juan and Christian's stance for climate refugees

Indeed, no binding and effective treaty was anywhere near sight when the politicians arrived in Christenberg castle on December 17th (and no such treaty actually never materialised afterwards).

Thousands of people go hungry because of climate change and our so-called leaders sit down to chat and eat. Christian, Nora and Juan just could not stomach that. So they invited themselves to the party, held up a banner and announced: „Politicians talk, leaders act.“

Thank you Christian, Nora, Juan and Joris, for your corageous, nonviolent action.

Thanks to you, a large public now knows that the Danish police can put anyone into prison for 21 days without a court judgement – and they did so with you.

Thanks to you, we now know that although our politicians are supposed to serve the citizens and to represent our interests, they put a lot of security in place to prevent their citizens getting anywhere near them.

Thanks to you, we now know that a lot of laws have been set into place to punish those who dare to defy the security measures and try to talk to the people they have elected.

Christian, Nora, Juan and Joris will spend Christmas and the New Year in their cells in Copenhagen, will be judged on January 7th and face several months in prison.

It’s interesting, isn’t it, how nonviolent action manages to uncover how our states work.

Climate heroes pay with their freedom

On March 11th, 2009, CIA agents Bonya and Lilith II particpated in the weekly vigil in Faslane, Scotland, the home base of the British nuclear submarines.

The weekly vigil is a completely peaceful and legal gathering that involves a bunch of people and 1-3 cow agents putting up banners and hanging around the front entrance of the base in lousy weather, greeting and waving to workers leaving the base and explaining to Ministry of Defence  police offers working at the base why nuclear weapons are dangerous and what peace alternatives exist.

Until recently those meetings went on rather undisturbed. Recently, police have been taking pictures and asking questions in a rather aggressive way. An anonymous source claims that the government, which is coming under increasing criticism for lacking intelligent ways for tackling the financial crisis, has now decided to gather loads of any intelligence whatsoever, hoping that this way they can maybe come up with an intelligent solution after all. No evidence for these claims has been put forward so far.

Sergeant Joe* (face changed for privacy reasons)

At yesterday’s weekly vigil, intelligence gathering Sergeant Joe* insisted on taking pictures of all new people he did not recognize,   asking them for their first name, surname, address, e-mail, website, asking them to take their hat off in pouring rain (presumably so that he could take a  picture of their hair), asking where they go next, if and when they will go on a protest and any other privacy question he could think of.  No questions of relevance to the prevention of war crimes, crimes on humanity and terrorism (i.e. for the scrapping of nuclear weapons) were asked by the seargeant.

Evidence thus suggests that police spying work about as counterproductive for the common good as the work done by certain banks. The chances of Seargeant Joe being offered a bonus for his untiring work to help create more databases and destroy the little remaining the privacy of peace activists are thus rather slim.  He therefore must be fuelled by something else than a promised bonus and the money refused to bankers does not seem to be paid to government spies instead. Maybe cows would have a chance if they applied?

Helensburgh Eyecare Notice - 13 March 2009

The CIA has discovered that a new eyecare facility will be opened near the base soon, so even if no intelligent ways of disposing of nuclear weapons are found, at least can the captains of nuclear submarines now can get their eyes checked  more easily, which might possibly reduce the risk them bumping into other nuclear submarines (we are aware that this proposal is of course complete nonsense, but so is suggesting that various submarines full of deadly nuclear weapons travel the oceans without them being able to see each other – or making them visible and liable to attacks – the only way to make them safe is to take them off patrol immediately and decommision them).
