Alas, the Grand Days of Aviation are even more Long Gone?


 From our latest Press Release:

PEACE ENGINEERING & PEACE IN THE COCKPIT

What, When, Where:

John H. Miller, director of Peace Engineering, presents a forum on our nation’s airline industry on Saturday, June 21st, from 10:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m, in the Aigler Auditorium on the third floor of the Carnegie-Stout Library.

Forum Topic:

Mr. Miller, a member of the Air Line Pilot’s Association, explains his Union’s program titled Save Our Skies (SOS): The national campaign advocating for policies that protect U.S. aviation jobs and the future of the U.S. aviation, which are at risk in a global marketplace that favors foreign, state-owned airlines.

About Peace Engineering:

Peace Engineering, Incorporated, was founded in Florida in 1982. The company’s purpose is to use all non-violent and lawful means to help develop peaceful conditions on Earth that give every human being equal opportunity to exercise basic human rights.

 About Mr. Miller:

Mr. Miller flew Huey medical evacuation helicopters in the Army and P-3 anti-submarine warfare aircraft in the Navy, and after founding Peace Engineering, began a career in civilian aviation, in which, as the result of industry deregulation wreaking havoc upon the lives of air crew members, John gained and lost employment with seven airlines.

"Strange Reprise about Nuclear Love"

Oh, for Heaven's sake, we were giving it away...


And for Heaven's sake, frightening.

We at Peace Engineering are frightened, and rightly so. Even without knowledge of the nuclear arsenal, many components of which are decaying, and of the potential for disaster if even a tiny number of the the 17,000 weapons were used -- even without all that, we humans consider the world a scary place.

However, though frightened, we at Peace Engineering are still filled with optimism and resolve, and still recommend that in spite of the inherent dangers, Citizens employ critical thinking, and then move through that frightened stage to the activist stage during which we deactivate all those pesky nuclear weapons. Perhaps we ought term it the "deactivist" stage.

Last year, International Physicians for Social Responsibility reported that 2 billion people risk death from the catastrophic climate change following a nuclear exchange using only ½ of 1 percent of all weapons available. Worse, a full-scale nuclear war among the nuclear powers using all 17,000 nuclear weapons would end life as we know it.

"It's worse, Jim, Life is over."

From April 17th through April 19th, our director, John Miller, will be in St. Louis, Missouri, and Belleville, Illinois, to reprise a demonstration of what happens when one of those devices, particularly a weapon much larger than those used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, detonates over a city.

As they say in movies and on TV, "Stay tuned for further details."
