US missile base - Research underway

Bogdan Klich, the Civic Platform Minister of Defence stated on Polish Radio 3 today that the coming week would be of great importance to the process of negotiations with the U.S. gvt. regarding the proposed 'anti-missile shield.'

He disagreed with opposition MPs and the media that the PO gvt. had shifted strategy in negotiations with the US when they came to power. The demand for modernisation of the Polish forces is a key element for the Polish gvt. to permit the construction of the shield

I just happened to pay a visit to Redzikowo last week, the proposed ex-Soviet military base for the 'shield.'

Poor barricade security entrance at the base

Security is virtually non-existent and I observed quite a lot of activity within the base itself.

According to a local source those present are doing research for the shield. From my own observations this seemed to be geodetic research. When I asked the source whether he knew Americans were working at the base already he said that it was Germans.

I couldn't find out whether this was true or not. Maybe U.S. engineers/scientists have come from their German bases to conduct research? Or they have subcontracted out the work to a German firm?

Geodetic surveyors at Redzikowo base?

The source also stated that it was widely believed in the area that the deal was almost 90% complete.

So we certainly need local people to start monitoring the base weekly to check out what the Polish gvt. and it's agents are up to in Redzikowo over the coming weeks and months.

On March 29th hundreds of peace-loving anti-militarists will descend upon Slupsk and Redzikowo to voice their opposition to the planned missile base.

We invite all Slupsk, Redzikowo and residents of the locality to speak out against their warprofiteering gvt. and join us in street theatre, speaking with those not yet convinced it's such a bad thing, distributing leaflets to people in the locality, and beginning the process of demilitarising the Polish gvt.'s missile-fantasy plans.
