47] – Beyond Extreme
Energy [info@beyondextremeenergy.org] wants to stop the Mountain Valley
Pipeline. On Thurs., July 20 from 7 to 9
AM, hold banners outside the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 1st St.
NE, WDC. At noon there will be a press conference at the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE, WDC. Join Maury Johnson and Roberta Bondurant,
years-long leaders in the fight against the Mountain Valley Pipeline, and other
climate justice activists to demand that FERC and PHMSA immediately stop any further
MVP construction work in West Virginia or Virginia. The 42 inch in diameter MVP
pipe segments they want to put in the ground have been outside exposed to the
sun, rain, wind, snow, flooding and standing water for many years, as long as
six years. This is true even though experts, and even MVP top officials, have
publicly stated that if they are left outside for more than a year, or even six
months, the protective coating on them can corrode and they become more likely
to leak or explode. Corrosion in a pipeline is extremely dangerous, leading to
catastrophic explosions and death. Indeed, corrosion problems are the second
greatest cause of pipeline failures.

Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtcu-grjspH9AtDHDwGw1Vrdfp9uInzS3J?emci=d5c45345-8125-ee11-a9bb-00224832eb73&emdi=037b6416-9325-ee11-a9bb-00224832eb73&ceid=320042#/registration. The arms race is moving into space. Since the end of World War II, the US has aimed to “control and dominate” space. In 2019 the Trump administration created the ‘Space Force’ to further operationalize this space control mission. Now, as the US sets it sights on maintaining its global unipolar hegemony, the militarization of space is proceeding more rapidly than ever.
This webinar will address the realities and dangers of space militarization, including how the profiteers of the military-industrial complex drive the process. The presenters are with the Global Network against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space: https://space4peace.org. Bruce Gagnon has been organizing on space issues since 1982 and co-founded the Global Network in 1992, which he still coordinates. Dave Webb is the Convener of the Global Network board of directors. He is a retired university engineering professor who switched to Peace and Conflict Studies.
