Compiled by Dick Bennett. https://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2025/12/omni-war-watch-wednesdays-261-december.html This final War Watch Wednesday draws attention to the danger of a nuclear WWIII. Only planetary warming poses a greater threat to all species. To eliminate the danger of nuclear holocaust, three movements are important, and one is essential. 1. The Peace Movement. The overall problem is US militarism and aggressive empire. OMNI has participated and is participating actively in many ways to this noble movement to avert catastrophic, planetary destruction.
