Surveillance information gathered and processed at the Menwith Hill spy base in Yorkshire is used in many ways, most of which are kept secret. Some of the gathered data is used to provide targeting information for military drones. People are being killed either because they are the target or more often because they were simply in the vicinity for a drone strike. As Yorkshire CND’s Dave Webb has highlighted, nowhere has this been clearer than with the role of operatives at the spy base supplying the U.S. intelligence services with information, some of which will be used to help the Israeli Defence Forces target their attacks in Gaza. So, the UK is helping Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians not only by supplying arms, but also by supplying intelligence information to help target the attacks which have constituted the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Members and supporters of the Menwith Hill Accountability Campaign (MHAC) have spent decades relentlessly protesting the unaccountable and highly secret activities that go on inside the U.S. spy base nominally called ‘RAF’ Menwith Hill but run by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Join them again this year for the annual Independence from America demonstration.
Please note this annual event will be on Friday 4th July 2025 this year, mostly in the Kettlesing Millenium Village Hall. There will be contributions from Australia and New Zealand where there are related problems of large American Military Surveillance operations which are unaccountable to the national government or local population. As the programme for the afternoon develops it will be posted on https://themhac.uk and circulated via our website and newsletters.
If you are interested in joining us from Manchester this year, then please get in touch on gmdcnd@gn.apc.org and let us know if you’d be interested in travelling via coach.
