Putin has destroyed Aleppo and Grozny and has threatened the use of nuclear weapons. Russian soldiers were sent into the area around the contaminated and still radioactive Chernobyl nuclear plant. Now they are stationed in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe. Contact Max at mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net or 410-323-1607.

RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/say-no-to-nato-a-busboys-and-poets-books-presentation-tickets-928149278477?link_id=10&can_id=1147b52af37e0e68a3fca986a997088f&source=email-join-in-unwelcoming-nato-to-washington&email_referrer=email_2346254&email_subject=join-us-in-dc-july-6-7-for-peace
Join to explore NATO's origins, structure, and its goals at a time of mounting global tension. On its 75th anniversary, NATO – the so-called “defense alliance” - appears to be at the height of its offensive power. German politician and NATO expert Sevim Dagdelen is quoted in the publicity for this event. She was quoted as saying “NATO today is driving the world closer to the brink of a third world war than ever before.” Her overheated rhetoric continues? “What began with the delivery of helmets to Ukraine is now a call for soldiers on the frontline in a war that will only kill many thousands more.” Please criticize NATO, but forget about a third world war. Also criticize Putin for his invasions of Ukraine and Moldova and incursions in Russian satellites.
26] – From accredited Japanese director Hideaki Ito comes SILENT FALLOUT which tells the untold stories of the victims of nuclear testing in America. The documentary will be at Annapolis Friends Meetings House on July 15, in Washington DC at American University on July 16, in Baltimore at 7 PM at Homewood Friends Meeting House, 3107 N. Charles St. on July 17 and at Towson University on July 27. Unfortunately, the US nuclear arsenal is stealing billions of tax dollars from numerous social programs. This documentary could lead to discussions about why is the US government wasting funds on weapons of mass destruction? Check out this list of upcoming screenings: https://us.fallout22.com/tour/?emci=730c6b43-12c9-ee11-85f9-002248223794&emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&ceid=#schedule
Director Hideaki Ito chronicles the story of radiation exposure and harm in the U.S., and the previously untold story of those who tried to expose it. In 1951, nuclear weapons testing began on the US mainland. Hundreds of miles away in St. Louis, Dr. Louise Reiss began collecting baby teeth from other mothers in her community. Through studying these teeth, Reiss found that American children—not just the so-called “Utah Downwinders”—had been exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. Silent Fallout traces these stories and others, journeying from Salt Lake City, to Virginia, to Missouri, to the United Kingdom, and to Japan, exposing the government deception behind the bomb.
