Menwith Hill in 3D Intro Video

This video highlights the work of Menwith Hill Accountability Campaign (MHAC) and introduces a new report, entitled 'Menwith Hill in 3D - Domes, Data and Drone Strikes' updates a previous report that was published in 2012.
Commissioned by the Menwith Hill Accountability Campaign and Yorkshire CND and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust it was researched and written by experienced researcher Barnaby Pace.
It seeks to update information about the Base following the Edward Snowden revelations about large scale international data capture. Intelligence gained from the captured data has facilitated the increased use of drone warfare in recent years.
Latest news from Afghanistan highlights the significance of drone warfare in an increasingly unstable area. The report reveals ways in which electronic surveillance has developed at Menwith Hill. Use of intelligence captured by the Base to target drones means that the Base itself and the surrounding area are a potential target for retaliatory strikes.
The Menwith Hill Accountability Campaign (MHAC) is exactly what its title says it is, a campaign to make the activities carried out at the Menwith Hill base accountable to the UK Government and to the local people.
Surveillance information gathered and processed at Menwith Hill is used in many ways, most of which are kept in 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. Supporters of MHAC believe these extra judicial executions are wrong.
MHAC holds weekly peaceful demonstrations, undertakes research to provide the evidence on which to campaign, publishes a newsletter and maintains a website.
MHAC has no paid staff and relies on the voluntary actions of it’s supporters and the kind support of donors to provide the funds needed for the campaign.
MHAC continues some of the work previously undertaken by the Campaign for the Accountability of American Bases. Earlier campaigns were run by Womens’ Peace Camps and the Otley Peace Action Group.
