[FRIAM] Fwd: NO LANL IN SANTA FE! Wednesday, 12; 00 outside SF City Hall; bring friends

Tue Jan 14 10:03:08 EST 2020

North Korea, Pakistan, potentially Iran, Israel, Russia ...  Do you trust
them to be as moral as you are?

I had a dream last night about being surrounded by Russians.  When I awoke
I learned that they were hacking into Burisma.

>>> Administration (NNSA) has applied for this role. NNSA and/or Los Alamos
>>> National Laboratory (LANL) are present in some (not all) other proposals,
>>> as tenant(s).
>>>
>>> The situation is opaque, fluid, and developing. So far, Mayor Webber has
>>> disdainfully rebuffed our requests to meet or discuss the momentous social,
>>> cultural, and economic development impacts of placing a nuclear weapons
>>> campus in Santa Fe. (Don't be deceived -- that is exactly what LANL is and
>>> what this would be.)
>>>
>>> People power may be the only force stronger than LANL's money and
>>> corruption. We really need you to help us expand our numbers.
>>>
>>> If you live *anywhere* nearby please come to this joint press
>>> conference, and please ask as many friends to come as possible. Sheer
>>> attendance matters. A strong showing Wednesday will save countless hours of
>>> work later, and will give wings to efforts to push back on LANL's entirely
>>> unjustified expansion. There are many powerful people in Washington who
>>> know LANL specializes in taxpayer ripoffs. Some of them need to see some
>>> spine from us out here to take to their bosses.
>>>
>>> New Mexico is being selected to be a nuclear weapons support and
>>> sacrifice area. That now includes the Santa Fe metro area.
>>>
>>> We may not know know the outcome of this first Midtown Campus decision
>>> by noon Wednesday but regardless of that we must seize the day.
>>>
>>> While it seems absurd that NNSA could be a possible "master developer,"
>>> we can't be sure that Mayor Webber and the people around him wouldn't want
>>> that -- or want, say, a training facility for plutonium workers. We just
>>> don't know.
>>>
>>> This event will also give us a chance for us to network with each other
>>> and with representatives of any other groups present, as well as speak to
>>> any City officials willing to do so.
>>>
>>> *Getting people to come on Wednesday is the sole action item we are
>>> recommending right now. It is very, very important!  *
