– From Fri., Sept. 30 through Thurs., Oct. 6 see a screening of "Command
and Control” at the Landmark Theatres Ritz on the Bourse,
400 Ranstead St., Philadelphia. Go to http://www.commandandcontrolfilm.com/. A chilling nightmare plays out at a
Titan II missile complex in Arkansas in September, 1980. A worker
accidentally drops a socket, puncturing the fuel tank of
an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying the most powerful
nuclear warhead in our arsenal, an incident which ignites a
series of feverish efforts to avoid a deadly disaster. Directed by
Robert Kenner (FOOD, INC.) and based on the critically acclaimed book
by Eric Schlosser (FAST FOOD NATION), COMMAND AND CONTROL is a
minute-by-minute account of this long-hidden story. Putting a camera where
there was no camera that night, Kenner brings this nonfiction thriller to life with
stunning original footage shot in a decommissioned Titan II missile silo.
Eyewitness accounts — from the man who dropped the socket, to
the man who designed the warhead, to the Secretary of Defense— chronicle nine
hours of terror that prevented an explosion 600 times more powerful
than Hiroshima. Go to http://www.commandandcontrolfilm.com/.
40]
– On Fri., Sept. 30 from 9 AM to 8 PM get with the Project Homeless Connect
hosted by United Way of Central Maryland. It will happen at the
Baltimore Convention Center, 1 W Pratt St., Baltimore 21201. One of the
most difficult parts of being homeless is gaining access to the essential
resources and services you need to get back on your feet — such as medical and
dental screenings, haircuts, career services, legal advice, government
identification, healthy food, and more. To make that easier for the homeless in
central Maryland, we need U to volunteer at Project Homeless Connect. Project
Homeless Connect provides an opportunity for local homeless families and
individuals to access all those services and more in one place at one
time. As a volunteer, you’ll be paired with homeless or at-risk
participants and guide them throughout the event one-on-one, helping them
connect with the services they need and getting to know them over the course of
the day. Volunteers must register on the United Way website: https://epledge.uwcm.org/epledge/servlet/eAndar.article/1834.

spends its money next year begins this Fall. Now is the time to make sure Mayor
Bowser and the DC Council put more money into vouchers, construction and
preservation of truly affordable housing. See HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/EVENTS/1173315399395025/.

– The
Hiroshima-Nagasaki Commemoration Committee, Baltimore Quaker Peace and Justice
Committee of Homewood and Stony Run Meetings and Chesapeake Physicians for
Social Responsibility are continuing the FILM & SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS DVD
SERIES. The DVDs will be shown at Homewood Friends Meetinghouse, 3107 N.

Black Lives Matter vigil, there will be a potluck dinner. At 7:15 PM, from
September through December, a DVD will be shown with a discussion to
follow. There is no charge, and refreshments will be available. The
series theme is REACTING TO WARS ON CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS, PEOPLE AND THE
ENVIRONMENT.
On Fri., Oct. 7 see FAIR GAME [USA, 2010] which is ripped
from the headlines. Directed by Doug Liman and starring Naomi
Watts and Sean Penn, it is based on Valerie Plame's
memoir, “Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White
House,” and Joseph C. Wilson's memoir, “The Politics of Truth:
Inside the Lies that Led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity: A
Diplomat's Memoir.” Penn, as Wilson, travels to Niger to see if
yellowcake uranium is being provided to Iraq for use in nuclear weapons.
He determines that it is not. George W. Bush, though, justifies an
invasion of Iraq in a 2003 State of the Union address by alluding to the
uranium's use in Iraq for weapons of mass destruction, Wilson submits
an op-ed piece to The New York Times, stating this is untrue.
Scooter Libby then betrays Plame’s covert identity, and the couple suffer the
consequences. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski at Verizon.net.

the most powerful, technologically-advanced, United States Destroyer in history
– USS ZUMWALT DDG 1000 on Sat., Oct. 15, 2016 at 5 PM. According to the
propaganda, “This FIRST IN CLASS ship introduces major innovations in design:
stealth profile, small crew size, wave-piercing tumblehome hull,
state-of-the-art electric propulsion and the latest long-range gun and missile
weaponry. The USS ZUMWALT is unlike any warship that has ever sailed the
seas.” If you can believe this, the ship’s motto is PAX PROPTER VIM – “PEACE
THROUGH POWER.”

commissioning is part of Fleet Week. If you believe that we must protest
the commissioning of this war ship, let me know if you are available to attend
a planning meeting sometime this week. Contact me at 410-323-1607 or

weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel
Berrigan
