The collapsing US military & economic empire is making Washington & NATO even more dangerous. US could not beat the Taliban but thinks it can take on China-Russia-Iran...a sign of psychopathology for sure. We must all do more to help stop this western corporate arrogance that puts the future generations lives in despair. @BruceKGagnon

BUSY DAY


  • I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off today.  Our newsletter was ready to be picked up from the printer and I had to arrange a ride to go get it in nearby Brunswick.  Now that we are down to one car in the house some things become more difficult.  Our friend Ian bailed me out and took me to the printer. I am real pleased with the way it turned out.  You can see the online version of the newsletter here
  • Our Keep Space for Peace Week poster and flyer arrived yesterday from a different printer so I spent last evening preparing envelopes to mail the poster, flyer, and newsletter to our key contacts in the U.S. and overseas.  Our current house guest Phui Yi Kong, a Bowdoin College student from Malaysia, helped me do the final envelope stuffing today.  The rest of the newsletters will be mailed to our subscribers by the mailing house connected to the printer.  It should be in the mail tomorrow.
  • I am organizing a speaking engagement tonight of well-known peace activist Medea Benjamin (CodePink) who is doing a tour through Maine this week promoting her book called Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control.  We are having a potluck supper for her at the home of one of our supporters so I also had to cook something to bring.  The talk is at 7:00 pm tonight at the public library in Brunswick.
  • Hopefully things slow down a bit tomorrow.
