News reports of an activist intervention in USA nuclear-land re USA nuclear war strategies on Earth and in Space. Earth First goes nuclear, as does Nature in Los Alamos. Alfred Webre ===== Please post and forward the following far and wide: Photos from the in progress Katuah Earth First! "Stop the Bombs" Banner Action in Knoxville can be found at: http://www.tngreen.com/stopthebombs Backround information on the need for nuclear weapons disarmament and clean up of weapons factories can be found at the web page of our friends at the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance: http://www.stopthebombs.org This action is still in progress as of Monday, 5/16 11:00 am EST! Chris and Dane of Katuah Earth First! have spent the night with a banner reading "STOP THE BOMBS" dangling from the Worlds Fair Tower and Globe (aka the Sunsphere) in downtown Knoxville, TN. Press Release Below: Attention: News Editor FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 15, 2000 - Photo Opportunity - Contact: Paloma Galindo - cell phone #865-719-2750 or 865-633-8483. Activists hang high above the ground for over 30 hours from the World's Fair Globe with a huge banner reading "STOP THE BOMBS"! Two Earth First! activists have scaled the Worlds Fair Globe (which was built as a symbol of friendship between the Nations) in downtown Knoxville, TN. They began their assent early Sunday morning and deployed the banner around mid-day. These activists are taking action in order to bring to light the United States Government's global hypocrisy on nuclear weapons. The US urges other countries to disarm, but make no real effort to do so itself. This double standard threatens to unravel the ground work which has been laid for nuclear disarmament. Nuclear Weapons "refurbishment" at Y-12, the refusal of the US Senate to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the production of nuclear weapons material at civilian facilities (TVA) send a clear message to other nuclear states that America has every intention of continuing the nuclear arms race into the next millennium. "The Y-12 Nuclear Plant's example of refurbishment is the equivalent to me taking my beat up old Toyota to the mechanic and getting a new Porsche in return. It is clearly not the same car, not the same nuclear weapon." said Paloma Galindo of Katuah Earth First! The United Nation's Non Proliferation Treaty Review Conference is still in session for the next three days. Because of US nuclear policies, the world may lose an important opportunity to move towards disarmament. Even US allies are upset. Chris Irwin and Dane Kuppinger from Katuah Earth First! are hanging with a huge banner reading "STOP THE BOMBS" and are prepared to stay up for the remainder of the NPT review conference. "Our species has to outgrow the suicidal course of nuclear weapons." said Chris Irwin, a sixth generation Knoxvillian. "Nuclear weapons work at Y-12 poisons the ground we live on, endangers worker and community health and undermines world peace. We must Stop the Bombs!" says Dane Kuppinger of Asheville, NC. Katuah Earth First! is a non-violent direct action movement committed to defending the Earth.
