From the newswire:
On the third of February, five members of the pacifist Catholic Worker
movement sabotaged british warplanes at Shannon Airport in Ireland. Among
them was veteran activist Ciaron O'Reilly, who visited Christchurch last
year. Last week, an Indymedia interviewer caught up with an old associate of
his: Moana Cole.
Moana explains the philosophy of ploughshares. "It takes its inspiration
from [the Old Testament prophet] Isaiah, whose vision was of a disarmed
world where weapons would be converted into tools that would be constructive for humanity." It's a direct action movement that's updated the "swords" in
"beat their swords into ploughshares" to include guns, bombs, and warplanes.
