35] – MAPA [info@masspeaceaction.org] on Tues., Sept. 17 at 8 PM ET is holding a webinar Inside the Nuclear Weapons Lobby with Bill Hartung.  These are the Profiteers of Armageddon, as said by the War Industry Resisters Network during the September 16 – 22 international week of action. Find out why the current massive nuclear weapons buildup and modernization proceeds unhindered despite the threat that it poses to the U.S. itself by increasing the danger of nuclear holocaust — to say nothing of the vast resources that are diverted to the nuclear weapons industry.

 In this webinar, the speaker will lay out some of the key components of this nuclear buildup (a new generation of nuclear armed bombers, missiles and submarines), such as the new Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, the Sentinel, as documented in his recent report for the Quincy Institute. He then peers behind the curtain to examine the numerous ways that the companies that get the contracts to produce new nuclear weapons actually shape U.S. nuclear policy in conjunction with government bureaucracies, members of Congress, and key communities that derive economic benefits from the perpetuation of this nuclear-industrial complex.  Register athttps://secure.everyaction.com/XdVZn0rg8UCyrve21GdSKA2
