Global Government is No Conspiracy Theory Wed Aug 07, 2024 11:30 | Dr David McGrogan
The emergence of global government is no conspiracy theory, says Dr David McGrogan. Those driving it cite global disasters, but in truth the greatest global disaster facing humanity is the emergence of world government.

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1Dear Friends,
On 1st September, Turi Vaccaro was in court in Breda, accused of doing
5,000,000 Euro of damage to 2 nuclear capable F16s at Woensdrecht Airforce
base in the Netherlands. A report of the trial is included below.
The second "wraking" (a procedure where the judge is accused of being
prejudiced), was held on Wednesday this week, but was rejected.
The disturbing decision was also made that this "wraking" procedure can
not be used again by the defence in this case.
The trial will continue at 1:30pm on Thursday 13th October, in the court
in Breda, Netherlands.
If you can't make it to the trial, please write to Turi:

thanks for this posting and account of his brave action and dignified court appearance. Please keep us updated.
Well done!

Last Thursday I went to Breda to see Turi'in court. About 30 people
turned up and together we decorated the courtbuilding and the pavement.
Two people dressed up as bombs and tried to cross a 5 meter long soapy
piece of plastic. The symbolics of wich I do not quite understand, but
it was fun to watch.
About 15 policepeople turned up as well and together we were quite a
crowd. Roles were well divided and all knew what to do. The police
searched everyone thoroughly, and also kept all our belongings safe.
The suporters enthousiasticly let them selves be searched each time
they entered the building. ("Lets get some fresh air." "Oh, yeah, then
we can get searched again!")
We could wath the courtcase from a balcony through a glass window.
Sound was profided by microphones, there was a bathroom, and friendly
officers who turned the sound up or asked people below to get closer to
the microphones when we could not hear anything.
When Turi first came in he did not look up, but slowly he loosened and
started to be his own self. He was wearing a long black coat, like you
would see on a master of ceremony in a circus, and a pictur on a string
around his neck wich showed a multicoloured peace flag next to a
windmill.
Turi did not speak but communicated with his lawyers in writing. He had
a Dutch/Italian translator, whom he asked not to translate everything
but only when he did not understand something.
Turi had to go in and out of the courtroom several times during the
day. The first time he lost a bit of paper on the way out and wanted to
go back to get it. The guards did not want him too and started pushing
him. After the fourth push Turi stoped cooperating entierly and kept
his body stiff so that with the next push he fell down on the ground
and the guards had to carry him out of the room.
After this he entered the courtroom each time by getting on his knees
and kissing the floor before taking a seat.
Although he did not speak Turi communicated plenty. He drew pictures
and signed to us that he did not recieve the stampes some people had
send, that he was still fasting but did drink a lot and that he thought
we looked a lot like fish in a fishtank behind that window. He also
started singing and was soon joined by the audiance.
The judge wasn't too sure how to deal with all this and ignored Turi's
behaviour. Instead he chose to threathen the audiance with removing us.
When the day was over we waited to wave goodbye to Turi as he was
brought back to prison and then we all went home.
