And this means that occasionally, 'cruise missile diplomacy" is used against non-conforming nations - i.e. Iraq and Yugoslavia. Learn more about the relationship between economic globalization and militarism.

Our group found its origin in 1991 as we were planning a 5.500 Walk from New York City to the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. The nuclear test site was established with agreement of the Shoshone Native Americans who are the caretakers of the land according to the Treaty of Ruby Valley." Dear Anti-Nuclear Colleagues: What Pol does not point out is that the sick and demented people running the Nevada Nuclear Test Site actually blew off a bomb while Pol and Mother Earth were standing above the Site. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first time that such a crime had actually been deliberately inflicted on human beings. The usual practice was that when people entered the test site, they would postpone the blast until the people had been removed, then prosecute them in the local courts. Over the years we had fought them to a standstill in the Nye county court system so that there were no further prosecutions there. But for some reason, in the case of Mother Earth (perhaps because it was known they were not US citizens) they departed from prior practice and deliberately blew the bomb off under them. Given the fact that all such explosions vent nuclear particles, undoubtedly Pol and Mother Earth were deliberately subjected to nuclear contamination and poisoning--a Nuremberg Crime against Humanity:"...and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war..." Then the United States government had the audacity to prosecute Mother Earth for trespass onto the test site. There are large numbers of courageous anti-nuclear resisters who have emerged during the past 20 years since the first Plowshares Action. Pol and Mother Earth stand right there at the top of the list.

As the valid title holders, they have given permission to groups of individuals to enter upon the Nevada Test Site in order to protest nuclear bomb explosions. So far, we have been unsuccessful in making these points in court, though we have tried. fab. - -----Original Message----- From: Boyle, Francis Sent: Thursday, November 04, 1999 8:46 AM To: 'Pol D'Huyvetter'; abolition-caucus@igc.org; fme@motherearth.org; tp2000.lst.grp@gn.apc.org; a-days@motherearth.org; 'NUKENET@envirolink.org'; 'abolition-usa@lists.xmission.com' Subject: FOR MOTHER EARTH!: FME New address, phone and fax numbers "Sogo Bia Oyon'd is the Shoshone translation of 'For Mother Earth'. Our group found its origin in 1991 as we were planning a 5.500 Walk from New York City to the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. The nuclear test site was established with agreement of the Shoshone Native Americans who are the caretakers of the land according to the Treaty of Ruby Valley." Dear Anti-Nuclear Colleagues: What Pol does not point out is that the sick and demented people running the Nevada Nuclear Test Site actually blew off a bomb while Pol and Mother Earth were standing above the Site. To the best of my knowledge, this was the first time that such a crime had actually been deliberately inflicted on human beings. The usual practice was that when people entered the test site, they would postpone the blast until the people had been removed, then prosecute them in the local courts. Over the years we had fought them to a standstill in the Nye county court system so that there were no further prosecutions there. But for some reason, in the case of Mother Earth (perhaps because it was known they were not US citizens) they departed from prior practice and deliberately blew the bomb off under them. Given the fact that all such explosions vent nuclear particles, undoubtedly Pol and Mother Earth were deliberately subjected to nuclear contamination and poisoning--a Nuremberg Crime against Humanity:"...and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war..." Then the United States government had the audacity to prosecute Mother Earth for trespass onto the test site. There are large numbers of courageous anti-nuclear resisters who have emerged during the past 20 years since the first Plowshares Action. Pol and Mother Earth stand right there at the top of the list. My congratulations to them on taking this "American experience" back home, putting it to good use, establishing this organization, and continuing the struggle. Best wishes on the new office.
