Our Don’t Fly Thai boycott campaign is gaining huge traction with the public in both Australia and Thailand and with Thai Air executives.
Our crew’s action at Fed Square in Naarm went viral with over 1.5 million views including thousands in Thailand where the campaign made it onto the evening news.
We know people are very keen to be involved in stopping the weapons trade — and stopping the genocide, and now the war in Iran.
To join local crews in Naarm, Magandjin Brisbane, and Adelaide to take action, contact us by email.
We followed up with actions at both Sydney and Melbourne Airports forcing recognition that people still care about genocide.
Meanwhile, Geelong activists reminded us who the real criminals are. Two friends were arrested in Geelong.
Thai Air has been transporting weapons parts for the F-35 fighter jets from Sydney to Bangkok and then to Nevatim Air Base in USrael using El Al (Israeli airline).
These parts are essential to the genocide in Gaza. They keep the planes running. The parts are stored for the program in Australia by Lockheed Martin – who move them around the world on a NEEDED ASAP basis.
More than 3000 people have sent letters to Thai Air executives which has forced them to make a (pretty lame) statement asserting that the transfers are legal, regulated, and safe. We dispute this. They are not safe for the people of Palestine and the Levant — nor now for the people of Iran. And we believe the transfers contravene International ‘Genocide Law’. You are not permitted to send weapons into a genocide.
After eight months of Declassified Australia’s continued reports, it is OUR actions that Thai Air has responded to.
Thai media are contacting us for interviews. Momentum is building. We can win this. We can force Thai Air to stop transporting F35 parts. See below for further actions.
We Dispute the Legality of the Transfers
We totally dispute that the F35 parts are “legal” transfers. Lockheed Martin is organising military exports from or through Australia. Some “Defence” Department official is signing the export permits for those parts. We know Richard Marles is already up to his eyeballs in violations against international law. And Conroy. But what about the “Defence” Department officials? What about Moriarty, head of “defence”? What about Jeffrey, the head of “Defence” Industries? Jeffrey appears to be chief obfuscator and with Moriarty potentially the designer of the system. Jeffrey appears to manage the relationships between the ADF and the weapons corporations… and the genocide. He and Moriarty – now appointed AMBASSADOR (Chief Harms Dealer) to the US — should be in the Hague. The Hague is the Nuremberg of today. We must shame them and make them afraid for their actions.
There will be actions near you over this month to “Cut Ties with the F35s”. It is linking in real-life actions with the digital campaigning which is allowing the messaging to go much further. People want an end to this program.
Write to us – we love to hear from you.
