The featured speaker will be Daniel Ellsberg, the famed whistleblower who released the Pentagon Papers during Vietnam and early in his career was a U.S. nuclear war planner. His latest book is The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner. In addition, Shiho Burke, whose parents were both Hiroshima bombing survivors, will give testimony to the terrifying results of what a single nuclear bomb, primitive by today’s standards, caused on August 6, 1945. Rounding out the program will be a recorded performance on the Shakuhachi (Japanese flute) by Glenn Swann. CFPA’s executive director, the Rev. Robert Moore, will moderate. He will include a short tribute to Dr. Bruce Blair, who recently died at the age of 72. Blair was a former missileer for nuclear weapons launch officer who then dedicated his career to practical steps to reduce the likelihood of nuclear war and toward their global abolition; CFPA frequently collaborated with him. In addition to the 7 p.m. online commemoration, a recorded sermon by Moore on the spiritual imperative for reducing and ultimately abolishing nuclear weapons is also available at http://bit.ly/NuclearSermon. Christ Congregation in Princeton will feature the sermon in its 10:30 a.m. online worship on August 9. Other faith communities are also invited to include the sermon in their weekend worship services. “Since its founding in 1980, CFPA has been dedicated to the global abolition of nuclear weapons,” said Moore. “After Donald Trump’s wrecking ball approach to nuclear arms control treaties, on the 75 anniversary of the nuclear weapons era it is more urgent than ever that we take concrete steps to reFDA Reiterates Warning About Hand Sanitizers The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) continues to warn consumers and health care professionals not to use certain alcohol-based hand sanitizers due to the dangerous presence of methanol, or wood alcohol, a substance often used to create fuel and antifreeze that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin as well as life-threatening when ingested. fda.gov of dangerous hand sanitizer products, which is being updated regularly.
