I recently published a post about my involvement in the planning of an international day of action at the Nevada Test Site on Memorial Day Weekend. Plans are developing quickly and a press release will be going out next week. Organizations and individuals from all over the U.S. and the world are siging on to the coalition for this action.

I will publish the details sometime next week but know that the actionw will take place all weekend May 27-28, with the key day of action being Sunday, May 28th at the Peace Camp across the highway from the entrance to the Nevada Test Site, about 45 miles away from Indian Springs, NV (about an hour from Vegas).

STOP THE DIVINE STRAKE!

The Salt Lake Tribune has published the news that Utah Governor Jon Huntsman wants the Divine Strake Test to be held somewhere else.

“We are downwind,” said Huntsman. “I believe that, obviously, we need a strong national security position, a strong defense position, and capabilities to protect us abroad. But do the testing somewhere else, where citizens aren’t downwind.”

Where would that be?

The remarks came the same day U.S. Rep. Jim Matheson and U.S. Sens. Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett demanded, once again, that more basic safety data be made public. The mounting information requests also signal the possibility of a delay in the controversial experiment, an explosion of conventional explosives, not nuclear ones.

No matter where such a blast would be tested some form of life would be affected. Not to mention that fact that analysts say this is a precursor to developing more nuclear bombs – and c’mon……there is no such thing as a “safe” test!

Wake up people!
