Quick important note and four more items
- 2016 Strategic Deterrent Coalition Symposium, June 20-21, UNM Main Campus. Will you help us protest this event? Write back if you can.
- We sent you Ted Postol's important Harvard talk("How the US Nuclear Weapons Modernization Program Is Increasing the Chances of Accidental Nuclear War with Russia," Harvard College Peace Action, Feb 25, 2016) in the last letter. Here is the audio recording of that talk to go with the slides.
- We have offered complete support for full-time activists, not a trivial offer for us. So far, not a single person from New Mexico has taken us up.
- The Bernie Sanders campaign will lose. Hillary is a war-mongering corporate neocon for whom lying is a way of life. Regardless of the outcome of national elections, expect more war, more corporate pillage, more genocidal squeeze on vulnerable peoples, no effective climate action, and no positive change in America. What now, dear friends?
- Greg and Trish heading to Geneva; excellent new paper on a nuclear weapons ban -- explains pretty much everything in simple language ("It's Time to Outlaw Nuclear Weapons," Tom Sauer, National Interest, April 18, 2016)

LASG Santa Fe friends ltr (07/14/15)
Meeting reminder for TOMORROW, Wed, July 15th
- Los Alamos will never be clean.
- Nuclear weapons are illegitimate, criminal, and threaten all human life.
- LANL uniquely contributes nothing of value and should be closed.
LASG Albuquerque friends ltr (07/08/15)
Teach-in on Ukraine, Wed July 22, UNM Law School
- U.S. has embarked on hybrid wars with Russia and China in order to retain U.S. global dominance.
- The relatively stable post-Cold War decades are now gone, never to return.
- Progress on nuclear disarmament is now intimately connected with profound economic, climate, and ecological crises, with justice within and between societies, with human dignity and common survival.
LASG Santa Fe friends ltr (07/08/15)
Meeting reminder for Wednesday, July 15
- Tremendous strides have been made internationally toward delegitimizing and prohibiting nuclear weapons, with 112 countries – a majority of countries in the world – having pledged to support a ban treaty just this year.
LASG Albuquerque & Santa Fe friends ltr (06/14/15)
Demonstration this coming Tuesday (Peaceful Skies), followup from SF meeting Wednesday, next SF meeting July 15
- Jade Helm 15 may be the largest military exercise ever conducted in the US.
- Few of us grasp the urgency and gravity of the multidimensional crisis in which we find ourselves, which threatens to irreversibly undo much of life on earth in a very short time.
- In New Mexico especially, most people are so beaten down, politically speaking – so used to having essentially no agency or enfranchisement – that it is difficult to imagine having real agency.
- Many assume without really knowing it that disembodied public education has far more political value than it does.
- Because of widely-mistaken political assumptions that were perhaps accurate at one time, and the general lack of genuine democratic experience in our communities (or "communities") of late, and other cultural and political impediments too tedious to list, we pretty much need to jump right in before all the i’s are dotted and the tees all crossed.
LASG Santa Fe friends ltr (06/08/15)
Invitation to a private planning meeting this Wednesday 6/10, 5:30 pm in Santa Fe
- We will report to you about our internship plans and give you some outreach materials if you want them.
- The very encouraging international developments will open more doors for us locally but only if we collectively push on those doors.
- Overall, the tremendous passivity and fear that permeates this state is a disability for us.
- There is almost no radical agenda or action being promoted by any organization in New Mexico, leading to the sorry situation where various liberal and progressive reform efforts remain separate, fragmented, and ineffective.
- We've got a new nuclear weapons (aka Manhattan Project) National Historic Park on the way.
- Simultaneously, the Santa Fe metro area continues to be marked for increased plutonium and nuclear waste activities.
LASG Albuquerque friends ltr (05/16/15)
Study Group mtg Wed May 20: economic implications of nuclear militarism for NM
- As those of you know who were at the previous meeting, we are looking for potential full-time "hires," i.e. research fellows, and interns.
- At our last meeting we discussed "The Swamp," the complex of negative net energy and miscommunication phenomena associated with a politically demobilized, privatized (to use the word in a different way than is usual) society.
- This past week we had an excellent meeting in Santa Fe.
- On Wednesday we hope to discuss the economic and social implications of being a nuclear weapons state, and the economic benefits of clawing our way out of that condition.
LASG Santa Fe friends ltr (05/11/15)
Reminder: Briefing and discussion Wed May 13, 5:30 pm
- We'd like to unveil some of our plans, ask for help in various ways -- and, mostly separate from what we can do in the Study Group without more staff, describe some fruitful and supportive organizing paths others can take.
- We want to tell you about the steady progress on the international disarmament front these days, though that progress is like pulling (nuclear) teeth (from the mouths of the nuclear weapon states).
- More good news is that Scotland is now largely politically united behind a party, the Scottish National Party, that puts ridding Scotland of Trident as one of its top three political demands.
- I have just returned from a week in Washington, meeting with high officials, congressional staff, and long-time colleagues.
- In one way or another, a ban on nuclear weapons is coming on strong.
LASG Albuquerque friends ltr (05/04/15)
Reminder: discussion Thurs May 7, 5:30 pm
- Update on nuclear issues in Congress, the Administration, and NM.
- Update on current developments in nuclear weapons diplomacy.

LASG Albuquerque friends ltr (04/21/15)
No meeting this Wednesday morning! Now Thurs May 7, 5:30 pm
- At these meetings we want to talk specifically about outreach to religious leaders and other communities about the need to cultivate and support full-time work on the core crises facing our planet.
- Probably many or most of you saw Tim DeChristopher's letter to churches, "Lead, Don’t Follow on Climate Justice," republished at Truthout.
- At the Study Group, our role has evolved to deploy the most truthful power we can with the least time and money, which has led us to analysis, lobbying, writing, and sometimes international citizen diplomacy.
- What is essential is to get beyond the constraints of liberalism as well as the politically-correct fads of today, and to learn and gain experience, and to learn to respect reality.
- What stands in the way, more often than not, is thinking the situation, at every level and in every way, is better than it is.
LASG Albuquerque friends ltr (03/26/15)
Get-together at Study Group HQ Wed., Apr 1, 7:30 am; breakfast!
- The purpose of this meeting is first and foremost solidarity pure and simple, and secondarily to hear from you, take in your ideas, and thirdly provide whatever very brief political updates you may wish.
- We have been deeply engaged in nuclear weapons issues in international circles as well as locally.
- We are very concerned that New Mexico may have passed a point of no return as far as losing its democracy and economy.
- We know of no faculty at UNM who have an informed, active, critical stance on any of the existential issues we face generally, or on the issues of war and peace we face here in New Mexico.
- We know of no student groups working against war, or nuclear weapons.
- We know of no churches actively working against war, or against nuclear weapons.
- Our senior political leaders and parties are the way they are -- flagrantly promoting nuclear weapons ...
- Right now, powerful people in DC and New Mexico believe that New Mexico wants to be a nuclear-military sandbox.
LASG Santa Fe friends ltr (03/21/15)
Thanks for coming this past Thursday; op-ed published; more
- As expected, that 1,000 word op-ed was published ("Treat the state’s lab addiction," Albuquerque Journal, Mello, Mar 20, 2015).
- It's an especially good time to write letters to the editor or op eds about northern New Mexico's nuclear addiction and what alternatives we might choose.
- Both of our senators want to increase nuclear weapons spending, as does Rep. Lujan.
- The true path of influence, however, lies in building a movement for crucial domestic priorities and against further militarization, war, and nuclear weapons.
- It is really critical to get our "electeds" to publicly commit to these political values.
- It's essential for citizens who wish to halt this country's rightward drift to make themselves very clear, both in language and in political commitments.
- The question of a ban also shines an important light on political landscape at home, stripping away layers of propaganda and clarifying the issues
- It is the environmental community which is the main source of greenwashing for our senators, the labs, and nuclear weapons.
- Just for "fun" here's figure 8-12 from the new Obama nuclear weapons plan released this week.
LASG Santa Fe friends ltr (03/19/15)
Reminder! Get-together at CloudCliff today, 5:30 pm
- Senators Heinrich and Udall both support expanding Santa Fe's plutonium and nuclear waste industry.
- We need to build a sufficient movement to block and reverse the proposed increases in military and nuclear spending.
- The new plutonium infrastructure proposed for LANL would be the largest public works project in NM history in constant dollars, except for the three interstate highways.
LASG Santa Fe friends ltr (03/16/15)
Get-together at CloudCliff this Thursday 3/19, 5:30 pm
- The status of the Obama Grand Nuclear Modernization Plan.
- The very encouraging status of international efforts to ban the bomb and what they could mean for Santa Fe and for all of us.
- The latest plan for restarting plutonium warhead core ("pit") production and how you can help us defeat it.
- Global hybrid war and what we can collectively do to stop it.
- Your fundraising ideas.
- Right now, powerful people in DC and here believe that New Mexico, and Santa Fe, want to be a plutonium-oriented place, a nuclear-military playground.
