Three Minutes to Midnight: NPRI Symposium on the Impending Threat of Nuclear War

Menwith Hill is the world's biggest military spy base. With 30 giant golf ball shaped radomes on the base, along with a miriad of aerials, the base is key to US political, commercial and miliary espionage. hp://www.takethepeace.org

   Tell Your Senators to Say "No" to New Nukes
The Bush administration is pushing for the development of new nuclear weapons. The White House is interested in smaller, more "usable" nuclear weapons and has asked Congress to lift the 10-year Spra- Furse ban on the development of new "mini-nukes." The Senate will likely vote next week whether or not to maintain the ban. Take this opportunity to tell your senators to oppose new nuclear weapons: tell them to maintain the Spra-Furse law.

I believe, believe, believe, it would be absolutely FABULOUS to get people globally to start now, now, now to focus daily, weekly (even weakly), monthly, seasonally, yearly, and in decades toward 2031 AD as the 3300th Anniversary of Our First Known Peace Treaty on Earth, that of Ramses II of the Egyptians and Hausilis of the Hiites, 1269BC....

PEACE CONFERENCE IN BAGHDAD      Correspondence between Larry Ross and Melissa Sarenac:

A suggestion re John's sample leer is the addition that in a worst case scenario 3.6 million people will be killed with a scenario of Saddam using bio and chem weapons and the USA retaliating with nuclear weapons. Clearly a totally sick, totally preventable scenario IF these countries vote against war. I'd also add in the sample leer that it's more than time that the USA be stood up to by the rest of the world and not allow themselves to be cowed, threatened economically, etc. Do what you [they] know is right. It's that simple. See also MEDIA CHALLENGE !

34 years of Israeli policy have laid the groundwork for its unholy war in the West Bank and Gaza
I am Jewish. I am a writer. From 1979 to 1989 I reported for The Village Voice, Mother Jones, Inquiry and other US publications from Israel and the West Bank. During those years I witnessed on the ground the rapid growth of Israel's selements and the seizure of Palestinian land and water for them: today over half the West Bank's resources now are in Israel's hands. (About a third of Gaza's resources have suffered the same fate.)

Submissions due: NZ Nuclear Free Zone Extension Bill

The two ships carrying nuclear waste from France to Japan, and the ship which has just left Sydney on its way to France carrying radioactive rods from the Lucas Heights reactor - all of which will pass through the Tasman Sea - have highlighted again the problems with the NZ nuclear free zone. As many of you are aware, there is a bill currently at Select Committee stage to extend the NZ nuclear free zone from 12 miles to 200 miles from the coast and to prohibit the transit of high level nuclear waste, nuclear weapons and nuclear-power ships through that extended zone. As you may also be aware, the government has clearly stated they will not allow that bill to pass into law.
