-------------------------
Omaha and Des Moines CWers invite you to join us for our annual 3 1/2
day "shake and bake" vigil at the gates of Offutt Air Force Base, in
Bellevue, NE. home of the Strategic Nuclear (STRATCOM) and the US
Military Space Commands.
Come stand, pray and do penance with us. Share with us our hope for
peace as we commemorate the Anniversary of the USA atomic bombing of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan on Aug 6 and 9, 1945. Contemplate with
us the work and mission Offutt AFB's god-awful Commands, the
challenges they pose to all life on our planet and the demonic claim
the holds on the soul and spirit of our nation.
Over night hospitality is available upon request starting Thursday
evening Aug 5th. Call and let us know you are coming. Expect floor
space in the basement of St John's Church - Creighton Uni., so bring
your own bed roll. If you need a bed, you really need to contact us to
insure we find one for you.

Democracy Now Aug 5, 2005 - Long-Suppressed Nagasaki Article Discovered
http://www.democracynow.org/2005/8/5/long_suppressed_nagasaki_article_discovered
Defying US occupation forces, George Weller was the first reporter
into Nagasaki after the US dropped the atomic bomb. His 25,000 word
report did not get past the US military censors. Now dead, we speak
with Weller’s son who has just discovered the carbon copy of the
long-suppressed article.
