I also informed to many Koreans. Koreans would have a rally at 7:30 pm for no-re-dispatch to Afghanistan and this news is very important for them as well.
Thanks very much for your great works.

The US Space Command has announced that the November 18 ICBM Minuteman III launch has NOT been cancelled, but only postponed. ( It was cancelled on Friday the 13th, when Obama arrived in Japan, it was set to be fired to Kwajalein while Obama was in South Korea)

I call on peace activist around the world to start planning a protest at their US embassy/consulate/diplomatic mission for the day of the launch when it is announced. I suspect it might be soon, the Marshall Islands report that the Ronald Reagan test site at Kwajalein is fully staffed for the launch. If you are in the US the nearest Air Force Base or Congressional office would be great.

I am going to Los Angeles today to start organizing this, please indicate what you think

MacGregor,

It is so great that you always inform to us what is happening in the Vandenberg. You are right. If not, I can not know at all. Makiko in Japan is stepping a wonderful job for collecting voice against any missile launch to the Asia Pacific.

Please keep your great works!

Thanks always.

Most of the experienced people in the area think it was cancelled due to Obama’s Asia/Pacific tour and the extremely bad public relations timing. We can take some small credit in helping make the world more aware of these launches. Many people in the world did not know the USA was still doing them.

so a cautious optimism and renewed dedication is in order.
If they re schedule it the protest is back ON, will all of the supporting groups endorsing it.

High praise to the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation for taking leadership in publicizing this launch. Bub Boothe’s courage and persistence is an example to us all.

see you at the gate at midnight at the next ICBM launch , maybe they will never have one again.

Let’s use the $21 million dollars saved for a clinic in Guadalupe or the Marshall Islands or both.
