Mock ICBM erected in Ellipse to oppose planned $1 trillion for new nukes

Submitted by Anonymous on Sat, 01/31/2015 - 17:09

On the 31st of January, activists erected a mock ICBM missile in the Ellipse in opposition to US plans to spend $1 trillion on new nuclear weapons. Under the name "Global Zero" they called instead for the global decommissioning of nuclear weapons. Many of these weapons are decades old, some may not function if an attempt is made to use them, and they are a growing hazard for a release of nuclear waste.

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 01/29/2015 - 19:51

Henry Kissinger is a notorious war criminal who must watch where he travels because of arrest warrants abroad. On the 29th of January, he found that citizen's arrest is also a danger. He showed up to speak before the Senate Armed Services Committee, only to find Code Pink was waiting for him. Considerable disruption ensued as the banners came up and Code Pink attempted to serve those international warrants via a citizen's arrest.
