제주강정마을에 美핵잠수함이..

 

 

 

제주도 강정마을엔 미국 핵 잠수함이 들어와 있습니다. 핵방사능 폐기물을 버리는 컨테이너도 들어왔다고 합니다. 500년 아름다운 강정마을이 방사능 폐기물(廢棄物) 처리하는 곳이 되었습니까?

 

강정마을 잃은지 벌써 8년이 넘어 갑니다. 그래도 우린 평화를 버릴수 없습니다. 문재인 대통령이 중국과 사드 배치 관련 외교 성과를 했다고 합니다. 그런데 100명의 주민들 진압하기 위해 4천명 전경을 투입했다고 합니다.

 

아름다운 별의 고을, 양반의 고을, 성주 고을을 잃은지 벌써 2년이 넘어 갑니다. 국가에 무기로 대항할수 없는 시민들에겐 유일한 무기는 연대입니다. 프란시스 교황님께선 핵전쟁 없는 세계를 만들기 위해 전 인류가 더 적극적으로 비폭력 평화 운동에 참여해야 한다는 메시지를 하셨습니다.

 

오늘도 조국의 평화를 위해 기도하시고 투쟁하시는 분들에게 미국 시민 평화 단체들의 연대 소식을 드립니다. 지킬겁니다 끝까지. 고맙습니다.

Korea update.US nuclear sub in Korea? "Friends don’t come on battleships!!

 

"What is human dignity?" --Masako Wada of Nagasaki, survivor of the U.S. atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

 

Where there is darkness, light.

 

Dear Esteemed Friend--a plea for the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia free of war and threat of nuclear war and your solidarity with our friends who are in an every-day struggle for peace on our behalf!

 

Imagine 10 years from now that all those military forces and bases in the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia (Americans, South and Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc.) are united and work together as friends for human security, not as war-making enemies.

 

Please help us!

 

1. US nuclear sub in Korea

 

The 7,800-ton, Hawaii-based US nuclear submarine with Tomahawk cruise missiles and MK48 torpedoes docked in Jeju Navy Base, South Korea. Local peace activists and villagers hold a press conference reporting that the purpose of the US nuclear sub visit includes dumping nuclear wastes on Jeju Island. They condemned that the visit is raising the threat of nuclear war in Northeast Asia.

4,000 police were sent to confront 100 residents protesting the arrival of trucks at the THAAD base

 

The confrontation took place between roughly 4,000 police from 50 companies who were sent to the scene from 5 am and around 100 village residents protesting the arrival of vehicles on the base. Residents clashed with police after stopping a one-ton truck, five cars, and one container on nearby Jinbat Bridge, located about 700 meters from the Soseong village center.

4. Joshua J. McElwee. Gumbleton on nuclear deterrence: US bishops should reassess peace pastroral

 

Masako Wada of Nagasaki reminded us why — sharing her mother's description of wounded survivors, their bodies blackened by the blast of the bomb, as they came over the hill near her home a few kilometers from ground zero and of the open-field crematorium next door that overwhelmed and deadened their senses. "What is human dignity?" asked Wada, a hibakusha (a survivor of the U.S. atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima).

 

In fact, the Holy See's position on nuclear weapons has evolved in extremely important ways in the past few years, a process that in many ways culminated during the papal audience with symposium participants when Francis himself "firmly condemned" the "possession" of nuclear weapons…. Call for action emerges after Pope Francis states possession of nuclear weapons is condemned. Francis' Nov. 10 statement has also made an impact beyond the Catholic community. Arms control advocates say the pope's condemnation of the possession of nuclear weapons is something they can use in discussions with world and military leaders when making a moral argument for disarmament.

5. Message of His Holiness Pope Francis For the Celebration of the Fiftieth World Day of Peace. Nonviolence: a Style of Politics for Peace

 

The decisive and consistent practice of nonviolence has produced impressive results. The achievements of Mahatma Gandhi and Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan in the liberation of India, and of Dr Martin Luther King Jr in combating racial discrimination will never be forgotten. Women in particular are often leaders of nonviolence, as for example, was Leymah Gbowee and the thousands of Liberian women, who organized pray-ins and nonviolent protest that resulted in high-level peace talks to end the second civil war in Liberia.

5. RootsAction. Sign the People’s Peace Treaty with North Korea

 

1) Declare to the world that the Korean War is over as far as I am concerned, and that I will live in “permanent peace and friendship” with the North Korean people (as promised in the 1882 U.S.-Korea Treaty of Peace, Amity, Commerce and Navigation that opened the diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Korea for the first time);
