BREAKING NEWS: Bonhoeffer activists in Secret Military base NOW!!!

News Release:

The Bonhoeffer Peace Collective

Activists breach secret military base

At 6am this morning, four Christian peace activists entered?Swan?Island, one ofAustralia?s most secret military installations near?Queenscliff,?Victoria, seeking to disrupt the war in?Afghanistan.

?Both Swan?Island?and the war on?Afghanistan?are out of sight, out of mind. It?s time to end further suffering of the Afghan people and our soldiers by bringing our troops home,? the group said.

Swan?Island?is a highly secretive military installation used by the Army?s elite Special Air Service (SAS) and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS).?Swan?Island?is said to be more secretive than Pine Gap in central?Australia.

?In the week before the first Easter, Jesus blockaded the temple and turned the tables inside.???Today we are imitating Jesus? disruption?,??the group said.??Sometimes you have to get in the way of injustice?.

?War can?t bring peace, it can only bring further terror, death and poverty,? the group said.

Rev. Simon Moyle (Baptist Minister), Jacob Bolton (Community Worker), Jessica Morrison (University Lecturer) and Simon Reeves (Social Worker) have called themselves the Bonhoeffer Peace Collective after Kevin Rudd?s favourite theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was also an antiwar activist.
