Philip Berrigan's last words:

I die with the conviction, held since 1968 and Catonsville, that nuclear weapons are the scourge of the earth; to mine for them, manufacture them, deploy them, use them, is a curse against God, the human family, and the earth itself. We have already exploded such weapons in Japan in 1945 and the equivalent of them in Iraq in 1991, in Yugoslavia in 1999, and in Afghanistan in 2001. We left a legacy for other people of deadly radioactive isotopes - a prime counterinsurgency measure. For example, the people of Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Pakistan will be battling cancer, mostly from depleted uranium, for decades. In addition, our nuclear adventurism over 57 years has saturated the planet with nuclear garbage from testing, from explosions in high altitudes (four of these), from 103 nuclear power plants, from nuclear weapons factories that can't be cleaned up - and so on. Because of myopic leadership, of greed for possessions, a public chained to corporate media, there has been virtually no response to these realities...


Okay, you get the idea. This is the part of the site where I stick my neck out, while hiding behind the “Ain't Freedom of Speech Grand'” argument.

So, if you're squeamish, a Fox News fan, or have a well-fed head in the sand, please read on, you'll find life-saving, actionable info.

Or at worst, a portrait of one person's sanctimonious (human) nature.

A I D S
the worst catastrophe in human history

A decade before 11 million AIDS orphans, we suffered the horror
up close; others of us, by merest fluke, survived.

I am grateful to have called these men friends, colleagues, and heroes.
Each fought against the bigotries that permitted this pandemic to hurt so many.
